To choose the best airsoft sniper rifle on the market, there are several aspects about the rifle that you need to consider. Many of the best airsoft sniper rifles in the market are great without modifications. However, most, if not all rifles on this list becomes even more formidable with mods. In this article, I reviewed the top six out of the box sniper rifles available on the market. However, upgradeability is one of the four standards by which I graded these rifles. In addition, all rifles on this list are spring powered because of cost mitigation and reliability.

My four standards are as follows:

  • Cost
  • Build Quality
  • Upgradeability (Warning – On some reviews, I have added a list of upgrades. Do your own research on each item as some upgrades may require modifications to the rifle)
  • Reliability

With these standards in mind, let us begin with number 1 on my list.

1. Echo 1 M28 Bolt Action Spring Sniper Rifle

Echo 1 M28

The Echo 1 M28 is an absolutely beautiful sniper rifle. The M28 is modeled after the Remington M24 SWS, which is being utilized by U.S. armed forces throughout the world. Its beauty lies in its simple yet elegant design. The fluted barrel not only increases its aesthetics but also reduces the weight of the rifle. The stock has a textured finish and the butt pad is fully adjustable for length of pull. Out of the box, this rifle shoots a remarkable 500+ fps. The M28 is also quite accurate because of its utilization of 4 barrel spacers. These spacers decrease vibrations within the barrel, increasing its accuracy. The M28 is also highly customizable as it is able to utilize many VSR 10 upgrades. The relatively low cost, reliability and out of the box performance, makes this my number one choice on this list.

2.Well mb08b l96 bolt action sniper rifle

Well MB08B L96

Yet another L96 reproduction, the Well MB08d is a phenomenal entry into the group. The receiver is made of a sturdy polymer, but everything else is metal. This increases the weight and heft of this rifle.  Out of the box, this rifle chronos at about 430 fps. However, the Well line of rifles are extremely upgradeable, so higher FPS are easily achievable. What makes this rifle unique is the foldable stock, which eliminates almost a foot in length.
