Product Information:
I am quite disappointed with this sniper. Not only did I have to wait weeks to even know it was in stock but literally the first day I got it and the piston ring broke. Not going to lie the bolt was hard to pull back. And I'm an actual Army sniper but we don't have springs. But anyways when it's not broken and actually works it isn't that bad. It's not dead on accurate(i used Magpull .40g BB) like real snipers are but its passable. My least favorite part about the actual gun was the actual spring. It's pretty much useless when you are laying down because when chambering a new BB while laying down requires a lot of effort. I'm not saying I'm a body builder but I have some muscle and it really is hard to pull back without good amount of leverage. For me that bad because who I snipe.
Going back to the broken piston ring, like i said it broke about 2 mags into trying it out. Took about a week or so to get it back. Not complaining about that. But I don't use it as much anymore because I moved from my big open area i practice with it. But not less than a month ago i actually took it out to show a couple buddies of mine and shot it off a bit in my backyard. They had trouble pulling the bolt back too (they are amateurs) and I've put about 50 clips in it if not more. I did feel a difference when I first bought it then after 20 clips went through it but not a significant amount. But I did try to show them a couple proper prone positions that we used in the Army and I pulled the bolt back (still not easy) and it broke again! So mad! I haven't gone through AirsoftGi yet (not sure if I will,unless the warranty is still on but doubt it) because I really don't want that same piston ring or any other of those upgradable parts. I can already tell they are worthless in the long run.
The long rail did look cool but was it rubs on the scope and I don't like the high scope rings.
I did try to remove the orange tip without researching and figured out its not just on the outside of the barrel it goes further in the outer barrel so it would look bad with it off. So if a quarter broken off.
In conclusion, if the piston ring didn't break twice I may have actually liked the sniper. It just needs better upgraded parts.

Pros:
Light weight
Nice feel to the body
Fairly accurate



Cons:
Spring is over powering and breaks the internals
Can double feed+ very easy
Crap upgraded parts

Product Information:
I bought this as a Birthday present to myself almost two years ago.

I will start off by saying that you could build your own but better for the same price.
However, if you are unable to, or don't know someone, this isn't a bad BASR.

The bolt pull is pretty stiff, but it is a pretty accurate BASR as it is, especially considering that it didn't even have an upgraded bucking.

I traded it off to a friend about a year ago, and it is still working fine for him.

Pros:
Good performance OOTB
Nice finish
Looks pretty cool ;)


Cons:
Starts off with a heavy bolt pull
Could build a better one for the same price

Product Information:
I've had this gun for almost five years, I got it pretty close to when it came out. This isn't a bad beginner rifle, but it could use some work. The gun is a VSR 10 clone, so it takes most VSR parts. GI's sears wear down after a while so they will need to be replaced down the road if you get this. The hop up that comes with the gun cant lift .40's up, and that's bad because .40's are the ideal weight for the spring in this gun. The Action Army VSR 10 hop up is very good and it should go into this gun just fine, but it needs a little tweaking. PDI's hop up will work too and apparently that fits right in, but PDI's hop up often has the right curve that VSR's have. The piston and cylinder parts are okayish, they will suffice for the gun, although it does help to grease everything up inside. I also replaced the barrel from GI's to the PDI one. To be honest, I think GI took the wrong approach to upgrading this rifle. The thing you need to upgrade first in a sniper is the barrel and the hop up, GI only did the barrel. A sniper with a high quality RA Tech or PDI barrel along with an Action Army hop up unit will shoot more accurately. Also, the barrel spacers that come with VSR's are very bad and don't do their job, so you will need to put in your own. I used electrical and masking tape to make my own barrel spacers, this is important to reduce vibration in the inner barrel as it can alter the trajectory of the BB.

Pros:
Great for begginers
Good rail for scopes and night vision (If you can afford it)
Decently accurate with .3's for beginners

Cons:
Bolt needs some strength to pull back, but it becomes easier with the right technique.
No upgraded hop up
Mediocre sears
90% TM VSR clone, some small differences that could give you a headache while installing better parts
When I got it, one of the screws by the mag well was stripped, so I had to work magic to get it out
