Hi all,

I am just about ready to start on my new project.. A pneumatiuc gun based on a sniper.
Inspire by FreakyShotGlass 's "Ultimate Aussie Plinker" I hope to have this done before i go to Sweden (in two weeks today).

I am about to start to make the furniture of the rifle and i have narrowed the replica down to 4 sniper rifles in use today.

Since you didn't put the Walther WA-2000 on the list, I had to go for the Awp . .338 Lap is an AMAZING caliber. Good to 1,200 yards or so....

What are you going to make the stock out of?

Keep a build log posted!

Peace,
Pete Zaria.

im making the furniture(stock) out of wood.And i will keep a build log.

why not replicate a more tubular design more suited to spudgun style construction like most 50 calibre rifles?

In my biased opinion, definitely the scout... that gun is simple and designed to do its job. No bells and whistles.

Well, I want mine to be neat like with a nice clean setup and to shoot pellets and slugs.ANd i like the look of rifles with furnitures they look nice.And i want to be able to make a furniture (it adds style).

yep... I love the way the bipod is integrated into the fore-end

yeh i like the scout to im personally favouring the Fn Police RIfle but i also like the others im just interested to know what the spudfiles general public like and i will be influenced greatly by what they like.

Mine is roughly based on the AWP(technically the AWM), but I would have loved to do either a TPG-1( My favorite rifle) or a Parker Hale M85. But I think that making wooden furniture based on a polymer rifle doesn't look as good as making furniture designed for wood.

I don't like the scouts butt stock as much, I like the m82 better maybe mix and match?

hehehe I think i've found my favourite rifle

My favorite sniper rifles are the psg-1 and te walter wa-2000, but from your choice of your guns the best is british police rifle.

Yeah i like the AS-50 as well.It's like a British version of the Barret.

Its hard to choose between the Scout and the AI Arctic Warfare. I am more interested in how you are going to make the guts of it. I hope you do finish it before you go away, it will look pretty sweet when finished.

thanks shud_b_rite.

By the Way i am gong to use this at about 30-40 metres away from my target.I am roughly basing the action on FreakyShotGlass's Ultimate Aussie Plinker.I am going to use compressed air but maybe there is a more powerful gas for this? or a more capacity gas?

you could use helium... i have heard that with the same psi as air it provides more power i think... Correct me if im wrong.
