This is basically a real gun. Its looks, feal, weight, smell, are all more real than any real gun i have. you have to get the scope with it. its amazing! better than any scope iv ever used.

nothing

people complain about the wobbly bipod on the other reviews, i think its supposed to be like that. It makes aiming easier cuz you can manuver it a little more when its set up.

This sniper rifle will change your skirmishing life! The mostly metal design on this rifle shows that it is built to last. The thumbhole stock has a comfortable feel and there is a pressure trigger that makes for a smooth shot. The rifle is unbelievably accurate for being airsoft. I was able to hit an antenna topper from 50 feet away with no problem. The bolt action combined with the heavy feel of the mostly metal construction make for a realistic feel.

The only thing that I would change would be the bipod. The bolt on my bipod stripped after having the gun 6 months. Other than that this is a solid piece of airsoft machinery.

The scope is a necessity for this gun since there are no sights. Also, you will need to have a side arm if you are using this in play. Up close shots with this gun are NOT recommended. When you first get the gun the bolt action is a little stiff and takes a little work to move, but with consistent play it will be broken in in no time. The magazines also need to sprayed with silicone oil from time to time or they will get stuck in the gun. If you want to be ahead of your opponents in the field you should definitely look into this sniper rifle!

The power, accuracy, and bolt action

nothing

Very good gun it comes very helpful in wars

It is accurate and the scope is very good and it comes with lens caps. The barrel,bolt,bipod,sling mounts and the RIS rails are metal. The butt pads and cheek pad is adjustable. It is a very good gun.

The bipod is wobbly but it doesn't affect the shot. The orange tip is on the outside the barrel but that is fine.

The gun takes a while to sight in but once it has a heck of a group.

i liked that it shoots far and accurate and i pick off my friends from long ranges and trust me its a great buy but the bi pod is a bit wobbly but it does not mess up your shot

nothing its a great gun it the bomb

nothing ots great

i really liked the weight, and the precision of the gun. Great fps, and range. Very nice scope...and it looks great

i would change the bipod because its a bit wobbly

make sure u dont use .12 cs it will mess it up.

It looks and feels great, scope is fantastic, it lights up green or red on the target which is fantastic if it is getting a bit dark out. Shoots great, really I can't speak highly enough about it! Clips are great, nice and solid and comes with two of them!

The only complaint I could possibly make about this gun is the attachment for the stand is a bit wobbly. It isn't cheap or anything it holds up great but it does wobble around a bit. Other then that it weighs 11lbs with the stand on it can get a bit heavy to aim without leaning it on something.

The gun is fantastic, really it is 100% worth the money! Test shooting this thing on a target I was hitting bb's that I had already shot in the bullseye. It is VERY accurate! Make sure to get .28's!

Nice weight to it - doesn't feel like a cheapie rifle at all.

The bipod is quite wobbly. Would be nice if the butt had a variable adjust to it instead of the wedges.

Buy it ! - pretty darn accurate for a BB gun (as long as you're using .25g or up BB's.) Even my wife likes shooting it!

amazingly accurate, easy to load, easy to shoot, easy to nail your friends.

better sling

don't use the sling because it will break and maybe your sniper. WARNING: will strike fear in your oponents, they will run away in terror like little pansies, if they charge you wait till they get close and just unlaod on them and make them realize their mistake. USE .30 amo for amazing accuracy! This is vital for actually hitting an oponent from long range.I LOVE MY GUN!

ok i just got this gun and it looks awesome. It is about 4 feet tall and weighs bout 11 pounds. It has great accuracy and distance. I suggest .20 or .25 gram bbs for the best performance. It is a little heavy but you can get use to it. The bipod is a little cheep but does not really matter. The scope is very hard to zero but once you get it close you may not be hitting cans from 75 feet but you can hit people since a bigger target. Also `when you shoot the gun it is very quiet which helps a lot. Extra mag is very helpful.

-new scope -bipod is shaky -strap is cheep

All things i listed above are easily fixable. Please dont let them keep you from not buying this gun. I pown all my friends an it is mad fun to shoot.

Cheap. Extremely cheap for the final product. A lot of metal pieces add great weight and realism to it. It's also fairly straight forward and easy to use/shoot.

An easier hop up adjustment for sure. It's kind of a pain toying with it, but luckily once you get it you don't usually have to change it much. Also, the scope that came with it doesn't seem to zero in at all. You can turn the dials but it doesn't really change much, so the gun consistently shoots left for me if i'm looking through the scope. Not really a problem with the gun though, just the scope.

It's a great buy, and definitely a good gun. All the problems with it are fixable if you take the time. It'll get the job done at a fraction of the cost of much more expensive sniper rifles.

My first 'real' rifle - perfect for back yard plinking - suprisingly powerful as well. A 6mm BB will go straight through a coke can at 30 feet so make sure you have plenty of stops in the way.

There is a small access hole under the trigger guard. The edges rub on my third finger - no big deal and I'm just being a wimp but that's really all I have on the negative side.

If you want a good quality, easy to use 'sniper' then this is it. You won't be disappointed.

Good wieght, and a very accurate gun. For what you get, its a great price, downright reasonable compared to other guns.

Better mount for the bipod.

Be careful with it. Its mostly plastic so don't throw it around.

Great feel to it and killer accuracy, best gun for the money, or best gun period!

Kinda cheap bipod, but thats a minor thing, dont let it dissuade you!

Use .20g airsoft bbs, the accuracy is the best.

Overall this gun is awesome... the full size and weight make it a wonderful piece to add to your collection. smooth action makes reloading a snap.

the hole under the trigger gard rubs your middle finger but a little black tape will fix all, and yes the bi-pod is a little loose.... but does not affect the preformance at all

once the hop up is set shooting is a brease..... but untill then carry the alen wrench with you.

This gun is just AWESOME!!! It is soo powerfull and the scope is very good too. Most of the parts of this gun are made of metal and all parts and pieces of this gun is very durable as well. Bolt action system pulls back great and smooth also I forgot to mention that this gun is VERY accurate and POWERFULL! Overall this gun is THE SNIPER rifle of ALL airsoft guns!!!

Nothing, It's just fine the way it is.

This is a pretty heavy gun, I recommend the sniper that is using this gun to be stationary because of its weight.

Well, seeing as it's based off of the British L96 Rifle, it definitely caught my eye. thumb-through-stock handle very comfortable, nice weight distribution. Killer accuracy, adjustable hop up, and for some reason mine came with a non-illuminated mil-dot scope, [i heard some were coming with illuminated scope, a no-no when it comes to stealth. very nice, UTG] Bi-pod is a little bonus, but the real perk was the two additional rails which now hold my laser. The Stock has the adjustable cheek rest, which i don't prop up because my scope is very low-profile, but the rest is also hard plastic, so i wrapped it in some gel padding for extra comfort.

Lots of people complain about the weight. i thought it was heavy when i pried it out of the box, and it definitely takes some getting used to, but i really enjoy carrying it. The Bolt action also takes getting used to because the spring really knows how to pull back, but after a while it becomes no problem. a softer cheek rest would have been nice, but its a quick fix. also it's hop up adjustment is in the magazine well, and hard to reach with the provided hex wrench. a longer set of hex wrenches is recommended

get a complete set of hex tools, because the gun has a lot of different sizes at a lot of different spots [gun, stock, scope, bipod, etc] I'm really satisfied. serious players know that skill comes not with the equipment, its the player, but this gun is defiantly worth its weight and is a guaranteed ace-in-the-hole. also: bolt action guns are slow in the Rate of fire department, so practice, practice, practice. its also a good idea to keep a reliable sidearm. My Smith-Wesson Sw40 works great, but really any semi-auto pistol works in any given "trapped in a corner" situation. Go Co2.

durability for most part, average scope

bipod, safety, mags are all very cheaply made, scope is very hard to screw on straight for accuracy, scope calibratioin is extremely tedious and frankly I'm not sure if it does anything

well, there is no way u can hit stuff down to the exact point 200 feet away, u may be able to hit a large target, but even with no wind, the bullets dont have the momentum to go in a straight line for that long which causes them to curve off in some diretction. its still very fun to shoot though, so I would still recomend it, but dont think ur getting like a real gun here because it definately isnt.

THIS THING IS AMAZING! it is super accurate, and can hit shots from 150+ like ur just playing some video game...now all my friends want me on their team!

theres just small things...like maybe a little better bipod or trigger or something, but even those arent that much of a problem

totally worth it

i loved how the gun is sturdy. it is a verry good gun. but how ever i rate it as a 5/5 and its worth abought 170% of what you pay for it.

the mag is a bit cheap same with the bi-pod but they last.

this gun is not for running around shooting your friend's or opponents, his gun is for sitting back and shooting.
