Sturdy bolt action rifle that will last for years? - General

I have a budget of £100 (about $190) and I'm looking to make a purchase of my first decent airsoft gun. I'd like a bolt action hunting rifle, as much as I would like a wooden airsoft rifle those aren't purchasable in UK without a UKARA, so it needs to be legal without UKARA, thanks.

Don't go with any sort of sniper rifle as your first airsoft gun, its not worth it at all. My UTG L96 has lasted a few years, but its not any better than an AEG in terms of range or accuracy.

I'm not going to be using it for serious airsofting, just plinking targets and messing about with.

Shooting people with an airsoft gun without them having eye pro is irresponsible. Airguns are alot better for plinking in my opinion.

[QUOTE=skeligandrew;32598467]But I can't shoot my buddy in the ass with an air gun :'([/QUOTE] I dont think airsoft is something for you if you think those sorts of things are responsible

Oh look at those dumbs, do your friends start crying or something when you shoot them with a bb gun? jeez.

[QUOTE=skeligandrew;32606948]Oh look at those dumbs, do your friends start crying or something when you shoot them with a bb gun? jeez.[/QUOTE] No. But we're not going to give advise to someone who disregards gun safety.

[QUOTE=skeligandrew;32606948]Oh look at those dumbs, do your friends start crying or something when you shoot them with a bb gun? jeez.[/QUOTE] bb gun = airgun = yes. Would be suprised if you didn't.

Alright, if I wanted to shoot my buddy in the ass I'd just buy one without any advice, that simple. Just asking for help on getting a good one.

A good airosft goon would be the brand new Systegma Rubber Band you just fling them at your friends, to fire yu tie the systegma rubber band around your gun resembling hand and fire.

OP it's probably a better idea to take this question to a place where people aren't uppity about "morals" regarding having fun with friends.

[QUOTE=i-am-teh-sex;32623850]It's not so fun when you lose an eye is it?[/QUOTE] You'd have to be pretty fucking stupid to mistake an eye for an ass.

[QUOTE=Nekrietns;32624490]You'd have to be pretty fucking stupid to mistake an eye for an ass.[/QUOTE] Yeah except that airsoft doesn't have pinpoint accuracy. It's p. easy for the bb to curve or bounce off shit and ricochet. Plus all it takes is one fucking idiot to go pointing the gun around and pull the trigger and end up hurting one of his friends because he "though the gun was empty" You ALWAYS treat a gun as if it's loaded. You never point it at anything unless it's something you intend to shoot. i.e. a controlled environment (such as an airsoft game) where everyone is wearing proper protective gear (eye protection)

As much as felix sounds like facistdad who warns of kiddies of unlikely things, it's better to be safe than sorry [editline]4th October 2011[/editline] No lie, when I was an idiot child, I nearly shot my cousin's eye out but luckily the bb went between both eyes After that we played with swimming goggles on :v: [editline]4th October 2011[/editline] Don't worry, it was those kiddie tm guns that shoot 150fps or something

Also, no need to try teach me trigger discipline.

I genuinely got shot in the eye by my step brother when I was like seven, fucking prick. Luckily it was some shitty plastic springer, still hurt like a bitch

[QUOTE]OP it's probably a better idea to take this question to a place where people aren't uppity about "morals" regarding having fun with friends.[/QUOTE] Seems like my friends safety is everybody heres buisness, thanks for the info though, I just througt I'd post in the airsoft section here and I don't think ill be coming back.

[QUOTE=Nekrietns;32626930]But... Eyes don't contain any nerve endings, you wouldn't feel it.[/QUOTE] Go ahead and poke yourself in the eye and post whether or not it hurt.

One kid getting his eye shot out could fuck it up for everyone in the UK.

Eyes do have nerves. WTF are you on? And don't let the door hit you on the way out to the other guy.

Be safe, wear eye protection, we may sound like dicks because we care about people's safety, and you should get the same reaction you're getting, maybe worse and more assholish from other airsofting forums. If you like Kar 98's, try waiting for the G&G Kar98.

Its what I'm doing, and why my M16 is bright fucking green. When you do get it you can buy whatever the heck you feel like getting. First thing I'm gonna get is a GBB of sorts...
