Beat me to it haha.
Range:
By far the cheapest upgrade you can get is a hop up bucking and nub. Doing so will increase your range dramatically, and it'll also get you some accuracy. Buckings run about 5-7 bucks, and a good nub is like 5 bucks as well.
As Exarach said, a tightbore is one of the cheapest and most effective upgrades you can get for a sniper. It somewhat increases FPS, but gives you range and accuracy. The consistency with a good tight bore will be worlds apart from your stock barrel.
Now if you want some more power:
The next thing that you could do (which I did), was upgrade the spring and things inside the cylinder. The spring will make your rifle shoot stronger, allowing you to shoot heavier bullets and get some range. If I'm not mistaken, your rifle takes APS2 parts (?), which means you can use the Echo 1 ASR upgrade kit, which includes a spring, piston, and spring guide for a really cheap price. Someone may have to correct me on that. A stronger piston is needed to take your stronger spring.
I also believe you'll need to upgrade the sears if you want to go with a higher FPS spring. I don't believe your stock sears will take a stronger spring, and it'll need changing in good time.
I'll get some links from ASGI/Evike when I'm done with homework. I have like 7 chemical modeling problems due in about 10 hours, and they take about an hour to do each problem. I took 50mg of benadryll after today's game to get rid of the allergies and it knocked me out.
