I'm in the same club, probably only spend 850$ upgrading my VSR, and yet it still shoots as nice as Amos' 3500$ VSR

But just the same, my magpul M4 is in the ballpark of $2200 and it shoots just like it did when it was $1200, and it shoots the same as my legendary G3 that probably wasn't more than $700.

G&P M4 - 500$
TM VSR-10 - $300

AEG fully upgraded internals- $400
VSR-10 fully upgraded internals - $600

Final cost of both - $900

Either way they amount to the same as far as internals go, it's when you start adding stuff like RIS, stocks, magpul stuff, extra mags, batteries, bull barrels, silencers, RDS and stuff like that the price really starts to go all over the place.
But as far as internals go, the price of either is pretty comparable.
But it's still much harder to be a sniper first than it is a rifleman. That's why every noob should start off with an AEG

I included the $500 I paid for my rifle in that figure. Lol!

I didn't include bipod or scope, just because I don't consider them upgrades. I bought a decent spring guide, piston, a few springs, PDI hop up chamber, Prometheus 6.03mm tighhtbore, a few types of hop up rubber, etc. Mostly it was tweaking and tuning to get it shooting well.

Yeah I got the prometheus tightbore too, I don't trust those 6.01 barrels lol
I never upgraded my hopup chamber though, just the barrel and rubber
