I'm not going to stop you from spending your money on a bargain-basement sniper rifle, but at the very least, don't get it on Amazon. We have many helpful local retailers such as Airsoft Outlet Northwest in Hillsboro, Blackwater Tactical in Salem, and ThunderkissNW in Vancouver who all appreciate your business.

Do you really know what SB1315 does?

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index ... 413AAwS6np

"It would allow the county of Los Angeles make law that is more restrictive than state law regulating the manufacture, sale, possession, or use of any BB device, toy gun,
replica of a firearm, or other device that is so substantially
similar in coloration and overall appearance to an existing firearm
as to lead a reasonable person to perceive that the device is a
firearm and that expels a projectile that is no more than 16
millimeters in diameter."

So, our stupid replica shit isn't banned in god-forsaken California, it's just the government now is able to put more restrictive ordinances on replica firearms and the such within the LA county.

We don't even know if you live in California, or Oregon, but those businesses do deliveries.

Edit: And maybe I didn't. I probably have mis-interpreted something though.

All the retailers I mentioned have online stores and will ship it to your doorstep if they are too far away. I'll leave the Googling to you.

SB1315 only grants LA County the authority to more heavily regulate replica firearms than current California state law currently does, it is not a ban. If LA county chooses to enact and enforce the ordnance, it would only affect retailers and players in LA county proper. I'm alright with this because Californians are dicks.

Edit: realised Hamster basically said the exact same thing I did, but I'm used to not reading any of his posts anymore, so "meh".

I bet you could walk downtown and buy a "sniper" for cheaper than that.
It's a sniper rifle. Also just buy an aeg because full auto is way more fun than pulling back a bolt.

Bolt action platforms are expensive, no matter where you start. They end up being over what you wish they would be if you;re super serious about it.
