4 Stars Good product turned excellent after alignment
I bought this replica without much hope of it being perfect because i was planning on upgrading most of it. When i first shot with it i was surprised to see it was accurate. I could hit my 3 X 3 targets outdoors up to 100 feet 10/10 shots, using the scope without compensation using .25 gram BBs. Next I moved to 125 resulting in 8/10. Then I moved to 150 feet and I got again 8/10. I said to myself, “this isn’t happening” so i kept shooting for about 2 or 3 hundred rounds and it didn’t deviate much. Average at 150 feet was about 8/10 shots with scope set in crosshairs. This is quite impressive for this cheap gun. The distance accheived by this gun is in excess of 200 feet easily, although accuracy drops to about 5.5/10 using scope only, when you compensate for the effect of wind and curving of the rounds i was able to get 8/10 accuracy.
One very important detail to know about this gun is that the results posted above where obtained with the Hop-Up fully turned “down” or “off”. There is always some hop-up but you do not want any more because it works too exagerately. You dial in a little hop and the BBs curve like crazy. This curving I bet you will notice it is always in the same direction. Well I fixed this without having to buy a new hop-up chamber. All you need to do is dissasemble your replica, REMEMBER TO GET A VERY SMALL HEX KEY FOR THAT LITTLE SCREW THAT HOLDS THE BARREL OR ELSE YOU RUIN YOUR RIFLE FORCING IT TO UNSCREW.
When you unscrew the barrel you will notice the screw that holds the hop-up to the barrel is not in the middle, it should be more to one side than the other, IF your rifle curves the BBs. Now all you do is very carefully and lots of patience, draw a midline with a pencil, align where your screw is going to be set and tighten it in alignment. Next you screw in your barrel and again make sure that the barrels midline is also lined up so you dont cause curving effect by the barrel misalignment from central axis. This worked for me and now i dont see BBs curve except at extreme ranges of 200 feet and 250 feet, but the curvings are very predictable and are easily compensated and consistent, with .25 gram. I bet heavier BBs will increase acuracy. The Hop-up I use it off or turn 1/8 to a max of 1/4 turn to get to more than 200 feet mark but the BBs seem to float and any wind will curve it. Expensive hop ups have two adjustment screws so you compensate for the misalignment, so being a bit careful and aligning it perfectly MAY safe you near $100. That it worked for me does not mean it works for everyone, but its worth a try to save some money.
By the way, I recomend this gun because of high quality and excellent upgrade potential. Fully compatible with maruzen L96.
4 Stars Good transacton; product as described; shipped promptly
This is a great sniper rifle. The sighting and adjusting of the scope (sold separately) and adjusting the underneath spot (forget name) are essential to getting accurate sighting and a straight shot, however once done it shoots good a straight.
5 Stars Great Purchase.
My 11 year old son got this for christmas. I was shocked by the high quality of this product when he opened it. It is a lot heavier than I thought it would be. It is def not a gun he will be running around with. It is extreamly well made, and shoots nice. Does not come with a scope. Would purchase this item again. My son loves it.
5 Stars Excellent
The price is fairly decent for the rifle. It has an excellent feel to it and is not that heavy. I have bought this recently and after adjusting the hop up and dialing in the UTG scope that you can get with it (sold separately)I was getting 3 shot groupings in a quarter sized diameter. My friend has the same one and I used his until i bought mine. I was getting decent shots and I enjoy its precision. Overall it is a great weapon for first time or veteran airsoft snipers. Even if you don’t play airsoft I use this for friendly competition shooting with my friends.
5 Stars My Rifle.
All I can say is that, this Rifle is the best Airsoft rifle I ever owned!!
