Read First Before Buy Soft Air 12 Inch Sticky Airsoft

I'm not new to Airsoft, might as well call me Intermediate. I ordered this gun because I had enough money for a sniper, and I needed one to have an edge over my friends. As of now I have not tested it in a war because I'm patiently waiting for my scope to come in. Now to the review.

The gun is roughly 8 pounds, since the package altogether is 8.5 pounds you can counter in the other things the gun comes with. Out if the box it comes in two pieces. The trigger assembly along with the barrel are one part and the stock /body are another. After reading the instructions it comes with as to how to assemble the trigger assembly.

The gun comes with top rails, and they are weaver rails. No lower rail is included, you need a special pin and bipod attachment and bipod to get one on this gun, but in my opinion is better in terms of mobility.

The bold is sturdy and pulls back firm. Some say it's easy, some say it's hard. In my irony I have the goldilocks effect with mine. Mine pulls back perfectly, no stress on my shoulder.

Now to the firing. Each mag holds 28-30 bb's. When inserting the mag press up on it with your fore fingers and wait for the click. Cock the bolt back, push foward and lock the bolt down into place. Make sure the safety is off.

BB's fire straight in no wind with no hop-up with .20's. In ocassional gusts and mild einds, hop-up just under half way works best with .20's. I have not tested .25's or anything heavier yet. I need to buy more, running out.

Now to what you probably skipped ahead to read, pros and cons:

Pros:

- Realistic feel, nit too heavy and not too light
- Metal bold and interrior
- Okay magazine capacity
- Accurate with .20's, likely better with heavier grade
- Comfortable finger grip
- Comfortable shoulder and cheek rest
- Full ABS body feels slick and durable
- Metal barrel

Cons:

- Seam on ABS body visible, was not assembled as a single piece.
- Magazines not metal (cosmetics)
- Sling it comes with it is low quality. Do Not Use It On This Sniper.
- Bolt becomes loose after firing it for a while, just tighten the end of the bolt that faces you with the small allen wrench it comes with.
- Very long, not much of a con but I don't have a long enough bag yet.
- Claims to be an adjustable stock. (Will clarify)
- Loud firing sound, make your first shot count when doing stealth.

As I said I will clatify about the adjustable stock. It comes "fully extended" out of the box. To shorten it, unscrew the two allen screws in the rear if the stock. Remove the middle plate of plastic, put the rubber part back on and tighten. I thought it was more loke an M4 stock but it wasn't. After all it is a sniper, not an assault rifle. It would have been nice to know How to adjust it before-hand.

Overall if you are looking to buy this gun as a beginner, or a roughed up intermediate player, this is for you. At around 500 FPS with .20's right from the box for $80, this is worth it. It may not be metal, but the ABS suffices enough for durability. I would buy it. A secondary mag will work well with this, allowing you to quickly reload before taking too long using a speed loader and getting shot in the process. I also reccommend .25's so wind is less of a concern.

Hopefully my review helped. It was well worth my money. Get a quality scope, preferably the Diamond Tactical 3-9x32mm lens Zoom Optics scope. Being able to use a sniper close range and long range through the scope is a great benefit. Great buy for a great price. You will save a lot of money.
