Generally, it is recommended that new players start with an AEG. Sniping in airsoft is very difficult and is WAY different than what you think it is. Most players who are snipers spent a good deal of time playing as riflemen first.
Agreed +1...

Take their advice, I've been using a bolt action "sniper" rifle for almost 11 years (and sniping for almost 14 years), and I still keep an AEG around to fall back on. Read the faq's, start with an AEG (such as the M-4 or what ever) and if you decide you want to try sniping after about a year or so, then look at getting a BA rifle. By then you'll know if you really want to snipe and will have enough knowledge to know what you need to upgrade the BA to what you want.
