Airsoft Sniper

[Krauter]

Hey all,

I've been going through some internet stuff and was thinking of getting an Airsoft rifle for when I go home. As I live next to a field, there' a lot of opportunities to shoot a few pesky rodents such as possums, mice, squirrels and racoons. As I don't want to go through the whole gun registration process, but would still like to "hunt" so to speak (anything I would manage to kill would probably end up at my uncles, he's the big hunter in the family) I thought Airsoft guns would be the way to go.

I figured the cheapest and quickest place to look would be Canadian tire (I remember seeing them there when I had to go get some new cross-training running shoes). Quickly I saw something I liked, http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brows....jsp?locale=en

However, after seeing the review, and seeing it's not a bolt action, as I thought (I'm a sucker for bolt-action rifles) I went searching again. After a little bit more searching I found something I really liked the look of.

However, the only problem I see in this is that it seems to me to be more of a competition rifle (airsoft wars or whatever they call them..) rather then something you'd hunt with.

Do any of you own any airsoft (bolt-action snipers preferably) you could recommend? Also, if any of you own the UTG Mk96 or Nitro Piston, what would your opinions/reviews be? If at the very least I can fool around and put a few shots into a cardboard target that's what I would do. But I figured the neighbours seeing me shooting field rodents with this monster wouldn't look right

Cheers
