CraftySnipers blog
It’s been a while since I created a written blog entry but I thought I’d give it another go. The main reason is that I have just got myself a new keyboard and I am itching to take it for a test drive lol. As many of you know I am a woodland player, I am at my best hunting other players when I have room to roam. My loadouts all suit this play style, my prefered weapons also suit this style too. I am a huge fan of the big bolt action rifles and whether it be my SRS, Striker or VSR I am just loving hunting other players and teams down. How did I come to be like this? Well that all started with Lincolnshire Airsoft Club and there old woodland site at Kirton. This site was amazing, it had it all. Huge open fields, dense woodland areas, ridge tops and salt flats. Terrain could be as good as a field or as bad as a muddy salt flat. All those that can remember the site also remember the salt flats and getting stuck in them. I remember being that new player with no idea of what I was doing. I had an M4 and this huge site was spread out ahead of me. I didn't have a clue of where I was or were the objectives were. To say I was lost would be an understatement. Skip on a few events and I started to get a grip of the lay of the land and I started to feel more at home. Even though I had my trusty G&G M4 which had okay range and questionable accuracy at best, I started to make my way around enemy teams. It’s probably at this point when I should introduce you lot to a person that has shown me and is still showing me the tricks of the trade when it comes to being sneaky. Mr Ian Lawrence is the boss of LAC. A slightly strange individual with a taste for hobnobs, but his knowledge of being sneaky can still not be beaten. There have been other people who have turned up to events at LAC all saying that they are the sneakiest person at airsoft. Needless to say they may have there moments but they still are not up to the job of being quiet in an event when compared to Ian. Ian showed me how the weapon is not always the most important thing in a soldiers inventory. If you move extremely quietly and slowly and have a good understanding of the land which you find yourself in then you can get into very good shooting positions. Skip on to the point where I have my bolt action rifles. I now have the tools that can reach out and touch someone at ranges that they with sub 350 fps rifles can only dream of. A well set up sniper rifle that is accurate, quiet and easy to cover distance with is the holy grail. My VSR was good at this and in my view still is more easier to live with on the battlefield then my current sniper rifle. The Striker was along the same lines of the VSR in how it handled but and this is a big one for me was not as accurate or quiet. Step up Silverback with there SRS. Now I know I have mentioned a few times just how much I like this rifle but there is a method in my madness. It’s all true, if you setup the SRS with a good well built set of internals then it will out range anything and I mean anything on the battlefield. It’s quiet, easy to work on, and deadly accurate with heavy weight ammo. In short put a well built SRS in my hands, take me to a huge woodland site that I have intelligence on and let me put a few of the lessons that Mr Lawrence has shown me and I will have a lot of fun.

Hi I fancy getting in to sniping. I have looked at the Rifle you mention but there are a lot of variants. Which one do you recommend?

Hi Steve. You are correct there are a lot of versions of the SRS. However they only differ in the barrel lengths, inner barrel lengths and hand guard length. The cylinder or rear section are all the same. So it boils down to how long do you want your rifle?
