Product Information:
Do not listen to what people say about the fps being low. it's sufficient. And everyone who is reviewing this should make sure they have the echo 1 asr and not the cheaper well or double eagle models. the asr is made exceptionally well, and has a very realistic feel. the body and front are made of a nice sort of rough textured polymer that makes it feel less like a toy. the outer barrel is metal. The cylinder, sears, bipod mount, bipod, scope mount, receiver, and bolt assembly are also metal. And yeah, it comes with a bipod, which is awesome. It weighs about 6.5-7 pounds depending on the type of optic you put on, and whether or not you are using the bipod. The feel of this gun is better than any other sniper platform I've used. The bipod it comes with is pretty good, but not as good as one you could buy for 20-30 dollars. The grip is like one of an m4, but more true to the real thing, so is a little thinner than an aeg grip, which I prefer. The biggest drawback to the gun, is the stock. The buffer tube is fine, you might have to tighten it up via a screw in the back of the receiver from time to time though. The stock is pretty cheaply made, and has a bit of wobble, but it's manageable. It can be replaced with an M.O.E. stock. Now to the performance. This gun shoots around 450 or so fps out of the box, but for me, settled to about 410-420 after almost a year. People complain about this being low, but the awesome hop-up makes up for it. I did the Teflon tape mod on mine, and got it back up to around the 450 fps mark again, and increased the consistency. The cylinder is fine stock. They do make a 500+ fps upgrade kit, however I wouldn't recommend it, as it will probably crack the plastic trigger box, and they don't make metal ones. The hop-up is the best feature on this gun, being only 115 dollars. The gun out of the box shoots straight and consistent. I managed to get an effective range of about 200ft with no mods, a 4x32 scope, and tsd .28g bbs. It shoots the best out of the box for any spring sniper under 200 dollars, in my opinion. It is also very light and versatile, which allows me to move around quickly when the going gets tough. This gun accepts all l96 upgrades for the hop-up and barrel assembly. Perhaps my favorite feature, is the fact that it came with a left-handed bolt handle. Being a lefty, no other sniper rifle platforms are lefty friendly, which is a little inconvenient, so this gun is like a breath of fresh air. overall, this gun has been my favorite sniper rifle I have had to date, and is definitely worth the 115 dollars. especially for the lefty's out there ;)
