If you’re in search of an affordable sniper rifle and want it to last a lifetime, the Delta Armory M24 R700 Spring Bolt Action Sniper Rifle is probably your best bet. Fitted with several robust pre-upgraded parts focussed on longevity, Delta’s M24 is a simplified and weight-reduced alternative to the military style M24 making it ideal for agile snipers who value mobility. Inside, we are treated to a CNC steel cylinder, CNC aluminum piston, CNC steel spring guide, and 90-degree sear, giving you the right parts to handle a lifetime of use with high-strength springs. While the Delta M24 uses its own internal system, the HOP-up rubber is compatible with VSR/GBB-type aftermarket alternatives, giving you the chance to squeeze even more performance from it! The M24 is based on the Remington Model 700 in its “long action” form, and as such, the receiver is much bigger than that of comparable bolt action sniper rifles like the VSR-10 which is based on the “short action” version of the M700. This gives the M24 far more presence in the hands than a VSR-10 and is ideal for those who want a more realistic sniping experience. The outer barrel of the M24 measures a lengthy 23 inches, giving you a respectable 490mm of inner barrel for increased range and accuracy; exactly what you want from a sniper rifle. The inner barrel is also a 6.03mm tight bore, meaning a slight FPS increase and improved accuracy provided you use high-quality BBs.
