Best Stock Bolt Action Sniper Rifle

[Long_Bong]

Hi,

So JG Bar 10, what would be the upgraded part that you would change?

Thanks for the advice

So a stock CA M24 is the best thing out there?

Not the best one out there, but it has a lot of features about it that make it a VERY good choice. It doesn't feel like a toy, solid and heavy (mine with bipod and scope weighs about 12lbs), and 90% of the internals are either compatible with AP2 (PSS2) PARTS, or AEG parts (hop up rubber, inner barrel). And it comes stock with an adjustable hop up. APS2 is another great platform, requiring little cash invested to upgrade it to 450fps (same as the CA M24). Heard good things about the Maruzen L96 also.

The VSR G-spec isn't quite as good as far as upping the power, it requires more investment. Quantis bought one, upgraded it to about 400 or a bit over, and it kept breaking aftermarket sears until he bought a $150 Zero Trigger Unit and Piston.

What would be the receipe to upgarde a Stock CA M24 to bring it to a good sniping standard that conform with Quebec field rule (400 fps with 0.2)?

Thanks,

Bong

Well, 450fps is the limit, I actually have a list of parts to get a stock M24 (even an APS2) up to around 440-450fps rather cheaply, have to dig it up.

Takes a bit of searching for this these days, but here it is:

Upgrading to 450fps, I'd recommend these parts (you will need an upgraded cylinder for it, not sure if stock will work with these parts):

Guarder:

Ultra-light Piston for APS2



Piston head for APS2



7mm bearing spring guide for APS2



Clear Hop Up & Bucking rubber



First Factory/Laylax:

PSS2 130SP Spring



Prometheus:

6.03mm 534mm tightbore barrel (needs to trim off about 19mm to make it fit right)



All the above is what I have in my M24 (I have a different spring though, as well as the 9mm spring guide). That spring should give you about 425fps with 0.20g BBs, the tightbore will add another 10fps, and the bearing spring guide another 15fps, bringing you around 450fps.

the UTG shadow ops sniper rifle is a spring rifle but its sposed to get 450 to 465fps with .2g bbs. that is if you dont mind having a spring rifle

LOL, thanks. Since I got my APS2 EX when they first came out (around 7-9 years ago) I haven't been interested in handleing anything else. My exposure to the CAs is very limited and yes, the TANAKA version is sweeet (if not pricey). Thanks again for the correction.

Good luck finding one in Canada..

The stock cylinder on the m24 is not so great but as a whole i think its probably one of the best stock bolt actions around. It has the benefit of a beefy trigger mechanism capable of handling an upgraded spring right out of the box without any other upgrade. Like stalker has said aswell it is solid ,has good weight and dosent feel like a toy.

I'd be willing to make a bet with you that the rifle there, or other clones exactly like it are the most popular spring sniper rifle in canada..

[Shrapnel[Op-For]]

I'm aware of all the well l96's, but I have never seen a UTG l96 in any canadian stores..

[The Acer]

Wells are cheap, clones that have some quality for them good perform to cost ratio

[Dusti69]

i might get an l96 either for myself of for my bro since he wants a sniper.
ive seen well ones and utg ones and ones without a brand listed and they all have dif fps ranges. which l96 would you guys reccomend for the most power if i were to purchase one?
because i dont trust ebay sellers fps ratings
