Product Information:
This gun is amazing! One thing I will recommend is that you get .25 gram bbs at a minimum I'd recommend higher then that though because it shoots strait for a while but right at the end when I try to hit my target with .20 grams it curves off because it's a spring. But don't get me wrong it's an amazing gun. Defiantly worth the price. Over all I'd give this gun a 6/5 if I could because it's really well put together and all the problems are small problems and all of them can be fixed with little effort.
People have complained about the wobbly bi-pod, this is not because it’s a bad bi-pod, it’s not the best but it’s still good, it wobbles so you can adjust your shot with ease.
Adjustable cheek plate.

STORY TIME YAAAY!!!
My code name on the team is “Eagles Nest” just so you get the story better. And if you didn’t guess by now I’m the sniper of my team, but anyways it was a 5vs.8 we had 5 (me a sniper by my lonesome, and a 4 man squad) we where out numbered and out gunned but we we’re defiantly not out for the count. I was sitting up top of a hill that was covered in grass and weeds, sitting with my baby (the UTG MK96, I named her “Freedom”, don’t ask, another story for another time) but anyways, I was just watching the area, waiting for any movement so I could radio it down to the 4 man squad on my team that was waiting for some action to display, they where eager and waiting for that radio to sound so they could be 1 step ahead of the enemy and then they could make an awesome assault on the enemy. I waited for a good 10 minutes, then, one of the men in the squad radios me and says, “Rhino to Eagles Nest, Rhino to Eagles Nest, 2 of the men heard movement to the west of us, please scan that area and advise us on what to do, the men and I will stand down till further notice, Rhino out.” I excitedly turned my gun to the west and sure enough wouldn’t you know it, there where 2 of them coming over the hill doing a S.A.L.U.T.E. report (Size, Activity, Location, Uniform, Time, Equipment… in other words they where scouting out 4 of my guys, they knew my teams position and they where just about to call for reinforcements to do an assault on my 4 guys I had to do something fast. So I radioed in to the squad, “Eagles Nest to Rhino, Eagles Nest to Rhino your men’s info on the movement to the west was correct, we have 2 tango’s moving on your position, and calling for back up, get your heads down and your guns ready, these gents look a bit sleepy, I’m gunna see if I can’t wake these fellas up, Eagles Nest out.” I put down my radio and so as soon as I saw “victim #1”(lol) pull out his radio I took my shot, BAM! Right in the side of his head. Beautiful kill, about 200 feet away, they had no idea where it came from, God I love the silent ness of “Freedom” (The UTG MK96, you’d know that of course if you where paying attention) Victim #2 hits the deck the second he sees his buddy fall to the ground (I later found out I hit him right where his ear was in his paintball mask, he said it sounded like someone hit him over his helmet with a hammer.) I then pull back the bolt, to get another shot ready for the next guy, right after I loaded the next bb in the gun I pick up my radio, “Eagles Nest to Rhino, Eagles Nest to Rhino, I hit one of em but there’s still one, I’m getting worried he’s gunna get smart and radio in your position to their HQ, I can barely see the tip of his head, I’m can only get a clear shot if he comes out, I need you boys to be like ferrets and scare this rabbit out of his hole understood? Eagles Nest out.” (God I love my cheesy military mumbo jumbo lol) Just as I put my radio down I decided to check on him with a quick look threw my scope, and just as I did I saw something that I new wasn’t going to be good, he picked up his dead friends radio and called for back up. I new what I had to do. Again I picked up my radio, “Eagles Nest to Rhino, Eagles Nest to Rhino, he’s called for back up get your sixes out of there now or your gunna be nothing more then 6 feet under understood, I repeat get out of there now! He has called for back up and it will be on its way shortly! Eagles Nest out!” I then put my eye into the scope(not literally of course) and saw what I had seen before, the tip of his head, I took my chance because I new that their team had 6 more men coming at most, so with this guy it would be 7vs4(not counting me) I don’t like those odds. I lifted my rifle to my shoulder, I felt a small breeze, and I adjusted my rifle to the wind…BAM! Oh my God! Luckiest shot ever! I hit him in the tip of his head. “Rhino to Eagles Nest, Rhino to Eagles Nest, where moving to the East, have you taken out that tango yet? Also we need to make sure we’re not heading into any worries get my point? Rhino out.” I quickly moved my rifle to the East, I saw my 4 man squad, and I moved my rifle further to the East, then I saw something that wouldn’t be good if the men kept moving, 3 soldiers from the other team heading right for them. “Eagles Nest to Rhino, Eagles Nest to Rhino, we got 3 tangos heading West from the East, they will be on your position in about 3 minutes I’d say, I suggest you ether get ready to fight or head a different direction, Eagles Nest out.” Just as I said that I thought to myself, “what if they’re surrounding them?!?” So I moved my rifle to the East and yup my hunch was correct, 3 more men coming from the East. I radioed in, “They’re planning to box you boys in! we got 3 from the west and 3 from the east, I suggest you turn your safeties off and get some cover!” The 3 men from the west where about 5 minutes away and the 3 men from the east where about no more then a minute away. I couldn’t get a shot from there they where about 200 yards away (600 feet, this guns only range is 300 feet at best, and that’s rare) so I did what I had to do… I crawled my life away. I crawled and crawled and crawled. Then I heard the sounds of AEGs in the distance. Finally after about 3 minutes I got in range of the men to the west. I saw that they hit 2 of our men, but we took 1 of theirs and now it was a cover fight (take cover, shoot, take cover, shoot) I quickly pulled up my rifle to my shoulder and… BAM! Hit on of em just as he came out of his cover to shoot at my boys, the last one was baffled; he didn’t know what to do. So I quickly tolled my men, “CHARGE NOW THERES ONLY 1 OF EM GO GO GO!” As soon as I said that they where off, they charged him and got him. Now they decided they where done running and they moved to the west to take out the 3 left. I crawled with them as fast as I could. Unfortunately they reached them before I could, they took out 1 of their guys and 2 remained, it was a 2vs.2 down there and with me, it was 2vs.3, we where in the lead. I pulled up my rifle, missed just barely, maybe and inch over his head as he ducked down because my men started firing, they don’t make it easy do they? So seeing as they had no idea I was shooting, I took another shot, BAM! Right in his arm. His buddy then stood up and saw the shinning scope on the hill as the clouds moved out of the way of the sun, he starts to shoot at me, I just laughed as the bbs fell over 50feet in front of me. I radioed in, “He’s got his eyes on me go now!” and just before I finished saying that it was almost as if they had a telepathic bond because they rushed him. We win, 3 survived, 2 died.


Pros:
Amazing range

Amazing accuracy, with the right bbs. get .25s at the least, I use .30s though and they do perfect

Soooo scary

free clip, bi-pod and sling

beautiful!

its a bolt action so it's fun

so worth the price!

Cons:
Heavy, 12lbs, but it doesn't bother me none, and I'm only 140 lbs, and I can barley bench over a 100 lbs, yes im weak for 17, but hey I can carry this, a 10lb bag, a 10 lb S-system carbine, and a few other things so I lug 32 lbs at least, come on!

sling isn't the best, I haven't had mine break yet but it will, the sling adapter is plastic that's why it's cheap. But it's free remember that

Need to buy the scope. no biggy.

Can't find any upgrades for it, Can someone help me out here please???
