Our Favorite Two

1) Wellfire VSR-10 MB07 Urban Combat Sniper – 510 FPS

Well is giving lightweight and affordable snipers to the airsoft community for years, and this rifle is no exception.

This gun is good to go with right out of the box but if you still find the need to upgrade it, then there is room for improvement as the MB07 can take upgrades very well. It requires only a little bit of modification.

This gun has also positive reviews on Reddit and some other airsoft forums.

Construction: The stock is made of polymer while the bolt, trigger, and its 24 inches long nice fluted barrel is made of metal. It also has the front and rear sling points where you can attach a sling and carry it around easily.

2) Well M187d – Best Spring Bolt Action Sniper Rifle

The well M187D is one of the best spring powered airsoft sniper rifles that comes with all the necessary attachments and it’s good to use out of the box.

But the scope needs to be zeroed first before using it.

3) UKARMS CQB P1402 Spring Airsoft Tactical Sniper

This P1402 sniper rifle is made by UK arms which is famous for making very affordable airsoft guns, but the cheap price tags bring a downside with it; the plastic.

Yeah you heard me, UK arms almost only use plastic in their rifles.

Construction: The whole body is made of plastic, no metal is used in any of its parts. Thus it makes it one of the lightest and cheapest airsoft snipers in the world. This rifle is also fairly small and has a short barrel.

The package includes a tactical LED flashlight, bipod, and a non-magnifying scope. You can only see through it, nothing more.

Features: It weighs 2 lbs and shoots at around 350 feet per second with 0.12g BBs and around 270 FPS using 0.2g of BBs. The weapon itself is 26 inches long with the addition of 10 inches of stock, makes it 36 inches in total.

The magazine can hold a whopping amount of 170 rounds.

4) BBTac BT-96 Airsoft Sniper Rifle – 500 FPS

The BT-96 by BBTac is a perfect replica of the famous AWP. It highlights a nice one-piece long aluminum barrel for good range and greater accuracy.

It is operated by a unique bolt action system.

It comes with a bipod and a good quality scope.

What’s the best thing about BBTac’s this gun? It shoots with an incredible FPS of 500 using 0.2g BBs. No need for battery or gas as it uses a good quality spring.

As mentioned above, it has both the top and bottom rails for mounting of scope and bipod.

This beast is capable of withstanding harsh weather, all thanks to its metal barrel and heavy-duty ABS plastic stock.

5) AGM MP001 Bolt Action Airsoft Sniper Rifle

Have a look at MP001, a top-rated bolt action sniper rifle by AGM that comes field-ready of the box.

7) Wellfire MK96 Best Bolt Action Airsoft Sniper Rifle

This toy gun with its 6mm caliber is my favorite replica of the original AWP or Arctic Warfare Police sniper rifle.

It looks the same as AWM (Arctic Warfare Magnum), and I am in love with it because of PUBG, it’s the most powerful bolt action sniper rifle in that game.

Construction: This gun uses a one-piece precision barrel, APS2 bolt system, and trigger; which are all metal made while the stock is made of high quality plastic.

It can also be upgraded to high powered parts for ultra-performance and strength.

Features: The MK96 shoots with 410 to 430 FPS using 0.2g BBs, and its range depends on the weight of BBs you use, its simple physics.

One of the features I like about the AWP or Type 96 type rifles is their thumbhole stock, it provides comfort and stability while using.

It has a dual Picatinny rail system for scope and bipod attachment. The magazine can hold 23 rounds.

 

Choosing the Best Bolt Action Airsoft Sniper Rifle

What do you mean by “best” in the phrase “best airsoft sniper rifle”? Well, it includes many things, many factors to be considered when researching for a good bolt action sniper rifle that is spring powered. We are going to answer those crucial factors below:

Barrel Length: When you are searching for a good airsoft sniper, the barrel length comes first to be considered. Long barrel snipers will shoot BBs more accurate and straight forward as compared to those with short barrels.

Build Quality: There are two types of material used in airsoft guns; plastic and metal. Now both of them have their own pros and cons. For Example the more metal, higher the price and weight. And less metal, lower the price and weight.

It’s your call what you want; More durability with higher cost and weight? Or normal durability with lower cost and weight?

Usual good quality snipers these days come with plastic stock and rest of the stuff made of metal, I would recommend going with those.

Weight: Another important thing to consider is how heavy you want your sniper should be? Most of the manufacturers make them heavy so that the users would feel it as the real word snipers. But on the other hand, some people prefer going with lightweight snipers.

Heavy snipers would give you the realistic feel but light ones would be much easier to carry around, maneuver in the field, crawl, hide in a bush, etc.

Upgradeability: Unless you are very sure that you will be using the gun as a fun toy in the house or backyard or your son will be using it, you should make sure that your chosen sniper can take future upgrades.

Believe me, preference changes with time so it’s definitely a good idea to keep room for upgrades in the future.

RIS aka Rails: If you are looking for the best spring bolt action sniper rifle, then the Rail Interface System (Rails) plays a vital role by its presence and its quality.

With the help of it, you can mount a scope, flashlight, laser, bipod, compass, and grip, etc.
