A&K's SVD Dragunov is worth considering if you don't want to break the bank and have not got a UKARA, since it is inexpensive and can be bought in a decent two-tone colour without any UKARA registration for 120 quid:
http://www.geniestuff.co.uk/dragunov-airsoft-sniper-rifle.htm
Although it is technically a DMR in real life (according to Soviet Doctrine at the time it was designed anyway, since they deployed it at a squad level as standard), the fact that it is a big long rifle (and I mean really long) means most people regard it as a sniper rifle rather than a DMR. This is particularly true of airsoft variants, since most of them are spring action single shot affairs with a thirty round mag, whereas the real SVD Dragunov is in fact semi-automatic, so actually a bit better suited to close action. In any case, the A&K SVD is a very good rifle if you want to be a bit sniperish, and there are many upgrade parts available for it too, including a kit where you can convert it to gas blowback semi automatic, which would make it more usable as a DMR. It's worth noting that although it does have pretty good AK47-style iron sights, you'd really be wanting an airsoft replica of the PSO-1 sight which is specifically for the SVD Dragunov (you can find those on Ebay for about sixty quid). Warning, the A&K SVD is a bitch to cock when it is new, as the spring is very strong (i.e. it shoots at about 480 fps straight out of the box), although you can buy an extended cocking handle which makes life easier, and it does sort of 'break in' and get easier to cock after a while, although some of that is down to getting used to the technique required to do so.

I can't find it either at the moment. It sold out quickly
Colchester Airsoft sell it as well though. Never bought from them before.
Just realised they might have even copied the description of Pro Airsoft Supplies? :mellow:
http://www.colchesterairsoft.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=cm16transspack
Good battery and charger worth about £30, BBs worth £7 and a face mask (would recommend replacing the mask though)
That's basically same price as the gun itself (non clear one is £118) which excludes a battery and charger and BBs.

I think that's a bit of hyperbole on their part, what they mean by 'these transparent rifles were custom built for us by G&G', is that the company made some transparent versions of their weapons for the benefit of UK retailers, so that they would comply with the VCR Act's rules on two-tone weaponry for those who do not have a specific defence for owning an airsoft weapon, and that in being clear/black, they look a lot less crap than orange/blue/green ones. Internally they will be the same as the completely black ones.

I never said "good" I said cheap.
Most people say the best "Bang for buck" AEG is the CM16, if you want a "good" aeg

The mask supplied is about £2 its a load of crap, you can buy a 8.4 battery for about £10 and 3000 bb's for £6.
£99 looks like a better deal imo
