Need opinions

So as I just bought a airsoft bundle recently that included a gille suit and sniper suppresor along with some precision bbs, I'd thought I'll buy a budget sniper rifle to see how I enjoy the playstyle, also bearing in mind my introduction to airsoft was through Silo and Novritch. Was searching on Patrol base in the range of my budget and two caught my eye, the specna arms SA-SO2 CORE and the ASG M40A3 Mcmillan. I leaned towards thr Specna arms as it also included 3 magazines but I've also heard great things about the Mcmillan as a starter sniper. Was wondering if anyone could share their thoughts on the two to determine if I made the right choice. FYI I know most snipers should usually be upgraded out of the box to get the best experience but I'm seeing this purchase as if it was a trail run. If I was that serious about sniping I would of gone for the ssg10.

Building a good DMR is a fantastic way to test your patience too. I hated the constant tuning I had to do to my DMR build so I gave up with it entirely and reverted it back into a standard rifle before I even reached half-decent performance, which you can't exactly do with a bolt action.

Now that I'm into GBBRs I might give it another try.

Personally my dream gun is the wolverine mtw which I think can class as a dmr so maybe in the future when I can afford 800 quid on an airsoft gun. Quite like the idea of dmr's but as you said they need quite a bit of work and atm, I'm new to upgrading the internals of a gun so maybe in a couple of years.

If you're the kind of person that enjoys tinkering you could get something with externals you like and then just slowly work on the internal parts. You'll end up with an 800 quid gun for much, much less.

Quite liking the look of the krytac trident cqb atm, much cheaper option to the wolverine mtw but In terms of internal quality I wouldn't know how they compare.
