Tokyo Marui VSR-10 Pro Sniper Version

For decades the Tokyo Marui VSR-10 has been the leader of the pack when it comes to being the top dog in the airsoft sniper space. Its years of success came from the exceptionally large air volume it can hold in its cylinder, seemingly endless upgrade potential, and overall fair build quality. Coming in well under $200, the Tokyo Marui VSR-10 Pro Sniper Version is one of the best rifles on our list from a value standpoint. While the FPS of this rifle is lower than most due to Japanese laws and regulations, it manages to punch above its weight class in terms of accuracy and consistency.
The bolt action is quite smooth, but, again, the actual finish of the bolt, whilst not actually poor, is far from the faultless fit and finish you might expect of, say, a Tanaka revolver.

Metal parts include the trigger, outer barrel, receiver, entire bolt mechanism and 99% of the trigger mechanism.

Still, for the price (around �150 in the UK), this isn’t bad, as long as you don’t consider what �150 would buy you in the form of a normal air rifle…

Closer Look
Where to start… Well, let’s start with what attracted me to the VSR-10, the bolt action.

The action is smooth and light. However, there’s smooth resistance on both the open and close action, which feels good and, on the Pro-Sniper, the bolt lifts and drops around 90 degrees. Interestingly, the gun will not fire unless the bolt is properly closed, with the handle right down in the depression on the stock. A nice feature, I feel.
