M14 is good but taking it apart to fix/replace/upgrade is a pain. If you think G36 is tough, wait till you do M14. You'll also run into problems like if you break charging handle, missing spring to be quite tough to find replacement parts. Lucky for you a clone M14 range from $250-350 used.
I read somewhere awhile back saying that barrel length only helps with grouping. Range and consistency is still greatly rely on quality of BB and a well dial, good quality hop up. Not a 100% sure on this because I ran consistency over range for all my gun. My L96 can do crack/hole shot up to 150feet but find my max range to be around 250feet. When I ran an AEG my max range was 200feet and crack/hole shot to be around 100feet. You may think that's stupid/bad for an AEG because you can spray 50 rounds with a stock and get those shots but my goal is be most effective(aka not spring and pray) I can be.
As for scope, I never go more than 4X. Not even scouting because I find it really mess with my vision or to stay sharp. I find myself feeling 'I need to go max zoom to get the perfect shot' but really not that true. Your naked eyes should pick up on most movement up to 300 meter fairly easily and that's a better scouting tools than with your scope/binocular. I use it to confirm friends or foes.
Just to make sure you understand the numbers in describing scopes: example:
3-12X40mm.
3-12 is magnification
40mm is the size of the picture
A mil-dot helps with finding your shots but if you using semi it won't really matter because you won't have take your eyes off your target to adjust your shot.
