Hello, I'm from the Vancouver region of BC, new to airsoft and have decided to purchase my own rifle, with a soft capped budget of $1000 CAD. Never built, upgraded or taken apart any airsoft gun before, but after a little research, I understand the basic mechanics.
Looking for performance and efficiency above all else and, I'm planning on getting a rifle that can fit all roles so, PolarStar FE based rifles seems to be the best system for that as it can easily adjust to different circumstances. Also, I'm absolutely not looking for anything that has blow back right now. For performance and efficiency, noise and recoil should be reduced as much as possible. Ideally, all energy should be directed at propelling the BB with minimal loss to re-chambering the next round.
With the ~$1000, I want to get a DMR capable of maximum precision(or as close as possible), and an airstock as the HPA supply. I'm not a fan of having the rifle attached to me by a hose. I'll look into getting a short upper receiver and barrel later on for CQB, DMR first.
Where would be the most affordable place to purchase this, either locally or online? Best I've found is a PR-15, from;

But, its not in stock right now.
Should I order it from USA? Seeing as I want mine to have an airstock(an HPA tank for a gunstock, which no true firearm would have), it shouldn't have import problems right?
Clearly it isn't, "any device that is designed or intended to exactly resemble, or to resemble with near precision, a firearm", if it obviously operates on compressed gas. Also, it's capable of firing >366fps.
PS,
I'm also thinking of maybe getting a G&G CM16, as a backup. How is it on FPS and precision? I've been seeing conflicting opinions. Is it worth getting another rifle as backup? Should I go for it?
I was planning on posting in the Newbie section but, it specifically states not to ask about importing in that section.
