Best Airsoft Sniper Rifles – Top 7 Power Airsoft Sniper Rifle Reviews

Did you know that in the world of airsoft guns, there are no limits to design, since the weapons are powered by gas, spring, or electric sources? In fact, these guns aren’t classified as firearms as a firearm requires a gas-powered energy source taken from a propellent-based material that builds a power source behind a real bullet. 

Airsoft is a good training tool for real-world combat scenarios as well as basic training. And as such, the guns look very real, and the control surfaces are exactly like real firearms.

In the area of sniper rifles, airsoft versions are full-size, often made of metal, and shoot to quite extended ranges when compared to some of the smaller airsoft weapons systems. So, if you’re looking for the best airsoft sniper rifles to use for training or in hunt-and-shoot games, here are the top 7 rifles to consider.

Best Airsoft Sniper Rifles

1. CYMA AK SVD Sniper Rifle

In the real-looking gun department, the overbuild of the Russian Dragunov sniper rifle stands out large.

This is a metal rifle with real wood stocks and it is set up with a long barrel to send 0.29g BBs at 450 fps downrange.

This puts the CYMA AK SVD in the ballpark of a game player’s sniper rifle as applied to a field event. While some other airsoft weapons are faster firing and smaller to handle, this rifle is big and will work as a stand-off tool when applied in a staged combat event.

2. Well MB13 Heavy Weight Airsoft Sniper Rifle

Another exceptional model of airsoft rifle in the sniper rifle class is the MB 13, which is an example of a spring-powered rifle that has been indicated by users to make scoring hits to 400 feet or more.

This rifle carries 12 rounds and sends its 0.20G BBs at 480 f.p.s. This is a bolt action rifle and it is equipped with a scope 4×9 and a bipod as well.

Classed as a heavyweight this is a full-size rifle and carries a fully adjustable pistol grip stock and AR-style three-position stock tuber. 

The rifle also makes use of the Weaver-style rail for quick on and off requirements regarding scope sights or open sights if so installed, the rifle carries good reviews from buyers.

3. Well MB12 Heavy Weight Bolt Action Airsoft Sniper Rifle

The second rifle the MB 12 is the same basic rifle but with a somewhat different stock configuration.

This stock is more sniper/target style with more adjustments. The rifle is also a pistol grip pattern AR-style housing, and it is also a spring-operated rifle. Velocity ratings and ball size are the same as the MB 13.

This is also a bolt-action eight-shot rifle. The rifle is full-size and has a sniper-style offering just like its brother the MB 13.

The price is a bit higher due to the stock configuration I would assume. Everything else about the rifle is the same as the previous rifle reviewed.

4. M-24 USR150 

As a known sniper rifle, the M-24 is a classic as applied to the 7.62 NATO round. I have the real rifle in my test group of rifles here a Ballistics Research & Development. When mounting the Leupold MARK IV optics (military option only),  it is a deadly tool to 800 yards.

This airsoft rifle is evidently a bolt action, has a fully adjustable trigger which is offered in three different stock color patterns from green to sand or black, and mounts a full military-style Picatinny rail.

The muzzle velocity on this rifle is 480-500 fps. The inner bore measures 6.03mm.  The rifle has a high-quality aluminum outer barrel, an updated precision hop up system, a tough steel cylinder, and enhanced metal internal parts.

The rifle retains an illuminated magazine for tracer BBs, an enlarged trigger guard, 2 sling swivels, and three steel studs.

The spring guide on the rifle is 9M stainless steel construction, the rifle includes Modify’s Mod24 Aluminum CNC cut Hop Up arm pressure plate (this is an optional installation).

Spring operated, with a 30-round magazine, and known to be accurate for longer-range engagements in the field.

5. G&G Model GM1903 A4

This gas rifle is built like the 1903 Springfield rifle of WWI and WWII.

It’s full metal construction, a real wood-stocked airsoft weapon, and is manufactured by G&G airsoft rifles.

This rifle is full size, carries a muzzle velocity of 430-450 fps, and functions on an 8 gram Co2 gas cartridge power source.

The bolt action is realistic in function, retains a functional safety, and also has an adjustable hop up. For carry or field applications, the rifle retains three underside sling mounts. 

The magazine capacity is nine rounds, and the dealer package includes a scope and two extra magazines. The bolt is removable for cleaning, and the firing pin is very realistic.

6. Double Bell VSR-10 Airsoft Sniper Rifle

This rifle is coming in at a lower price and is a basic training rifle in some cases prior to moving into the big leagues in airsoft shooting sports.  

The rifle is straightforward as a sport class full-size rifle and is offered in both wood stock and composite material as well.

The sights will differ between the two rifles just a bit so check with care which type you want to get into. The wood stock model makes use of a built-in scope mount while the composite model comes with an optics mount and built-in front and rear open sights.

The stock has a slight butt stock drop to it, and scope designed comb and cheekpiece. Scope mounts are Weaver-style rail in terms of design. An easy install when changing out optical systems on the fly.

7. Russian Sniper Rifle

The rifle is an exact replica of the original Russian sniper rifle. I know this well because I own the real deal. In this case, the Romanian PSL-54 7.62 X 54R. Noting a $2xxx and change price difference the CYMA-AK airsoft rifle looks to be cool for the events it is designed to be applied against.

This rifle has a heavy-duty metal receiver and barrel assembly, a precision CNC machined 7mm bushing metal gearbox, a stamped steel cover, real wood stocks, and fully adjustable sights.

The rifle’s weight is 3.5kg, and the inner barrel measures 68.5cm.

The magazine capacity on the rifle is 80 rounds (sniper magazine), and the rifle fires in semi-auto mode only.

Conclusion

When buying an airsoft rifle there are several things to consider regarding use. Remember this is not a rapid-fire or high-mag capacity weapons system.

The sniper rifle is designed in even gaming-style warfare as a stand-off weapon. That means shooting from a static position or hidden and becoming the overwatch shooter for your advancing members of the team. Regardless of the game pattern or rules, the sniper is king when not obvious to the target subjects.

The rifles like the Russian style Dragunov are fast multiple target shooters but the bolt guns are solid systems and get the job done for less money in most cases.

Shooting a sniper rifle is a deliberate task-orientated event and saves the rapid-fire assault advancing weapons systems to the smaller full auto style airsoft rifles. M-16 etc..
