Product Information:
After a lot of bad rep I have to give most of UTG's airsoft guns, after trying out my teammate's MK96 a few weeks ago, all I have to say is... !@#$ this thing hurts if you're hit by it! We were having so much fun shooting it, we compeletely forgot to chrono it for ourselves, but it's well over the 400s range, which is both a plus and a minus (see below). It also seems to outperform every other spring bolt-action out there, or at least ones I've fired, which include most versions of the M324, the Well R700, and something else by a company I can't recall the name of, but it looked like an M324 or R700.

Pros:
VERY accurate- easily hitting targets over 150 feet away.
VERY long range- although it lost accuracy around 170-180 feet, the BB kept going a little past 200, but we were using .25g ammo.
Very cheap for its performance, AND ASGI cut their price, so you can now purchase this for an insanely cheap price.
Looks sweet with the bipod and scope attached. (scope not included when purchased)

*This is one of very few airsoft guns that I recommend getting a high-power scope for, mainly because it is one of few airsoft guns that can outrange most AEGs out of the box.

Cons:
A lot bigger than most think. If you're short, it could be longer than you are tall.
Bolt-action. It's cool and packs a wallop, but you're in dire need for a secondary weapon as a backup if you're on a team. I recommend the MP7, MP5K or something small with automatic fire. A gas pistol very rarely cuts it.

Doesn't come with a scope. I recommend one that can at least zoom in, and is easily adjusted, because wind has HORRIBLE effects on BBs. If you get a scope that isn't easily adjusted, use heavier ammo, though this decreases your range and velocity.

The FPS is a mixed blessing. Yes, it's very high, but some events require lower FPS than say, 400, and this rifle will easily surpass 400. I never tried it, but using .28g ammo might bring it down below 400.
