I've heard that CA bolt actions are either hit or miss is this true?

I had a L96 upped to 550 FPS...
All stock except hop-chamber, barrel and cylinder set. I would recommend you this one, just get the PDI chamber for this. Then you can use a tight bore made for any AEG. I had this exact setup: Maruzen APS2 type 96 OK 500FPS set (spring, piston and spring guide) KM hard cylinder head PDI Hop-chamber Prometeus red hard hop-up sleeve stock CA M14 innerbarrel Could hit a 6" targer at about 100m or more. I really recommend you the PDI hop chamber There is actually 2 hop setting screws. You can fine tune if the bb tend to move left or right... |

I recently bought one... I can tell you, You're gonna get out-gunned by people with full auto... + There are many restrictions that are included with owning a bolt action in manitoba... like the minimum engagement range. Last scrim I was at I wasn't able to kill some one because they ran into my minimum engagement range and I had no way of moving back any further... Stick to XT guns... Bolt actions are not good for indoor plinking either.. |

I voted VSR only because you said you're looking for a first. The VSR is much more simple in feel and design externally. Its also easier to get the parts to do your upgrades than the Maurazen, because you start running into "Out of Stock" all the freaking time when moding those APS guns. I has an APSII which is different externally buy the same inside.
The VSR will be nicer on your wallet, easier to get, and if you don't like it, easier to move on with ((resale)).

Get a Crosman R38. I got one and I love it!
I wanted to get a bolt action too and try out sniping, but didn't want to shell out 500-600 bucks for one. R38's a great gun, depending on what scope you throw on her, and runs half the price or less, if you can find one! |

What fields let a sniper rifle on them that shoots up to 550 fps? I sure as hell wouldn't want to be shot with it.

550fps with a 0.20g BB has the same energy as just a hair shy of 450fps with a 0.30g BB. With a minimum engagement range of 100ft (and with responsible players often playing it safe by shooting farther away) what you feel is less than taking a shot from a 400fps AEG at 20ft out.
Personally I'd rather take a single shot full on in my gear by a safe, responsible player with a hot gun than lit up by a newb with an upgraded (albeit field legal) gun. |

Most of the fields I play on your lucky to have a sight line of 10m because of all the trees. I think the only open grounded areas I've really played on was the ferry in Mission, or the Burma Forest Field wasn't too bad I guess. I'd just be worried about the guys who aren't responsible. That can do some damage.

Although there's a generally accepted guideline for velocity limits in Canada, due diligence and common sense should be applied to whatever environment and players happen to be in your area and those limits should be adjusted accordingly. Those with access to 100+ acres of flat open terrain will play a different game than those in densely wooded areas - likewise close quarter areas both indoors and outdoors should have their own set of limitations. It's up to the hosts and the players to police those who play and behave in unfair or unsafe manners. If you have concerns about a certain player's responsibility, be sure to voice those concerns politely. Safety should always be first and foremost.

My vote is in.. I say G-spec I own one, I have upgraded it to 455 FPS with .3s. My total almost 900$, I have never shot a L96, however i have shot aps SV many times. The g-spec is perfect starter and can be transforum to a mean BA rifle. your Gspec deal u had there is not a bad deal at all.
I hope you enjoy the world of BA. greeny |
