Airsoft sniper rifles are a very interesting option for new airsoft players. But, usually they are not recommended. Very few players use sniper rifles and rarely as their primary weapons. There are number of reasons for this. The first is its cost. Airsoft sniper rifles are expensive. The initial cost for a new sniper rifle is slightly higher. To make the sniper rifle effective in an airsoft game, it requires significant upgrades. In spite of all these things, airsoft sniper rifles are agreat fun for experienced players with a high degree of patience. It is recommended that it should not be your first airsoft gun. You can use snipers such as UHC Super 9 (cost: 100 dollars) in small springer games. But it may not be effective in big airsoft games. The sniper rifles like Tanaka or Maruzen are very costly. In this sense, Tokyo Marui is enough cheap. You can have upgrades in such rifles as they are not as costly as an arm or a leg. The VSR-10 is also good considering prices.
