since these rifles are all built on the m700 platform the accuraccy is not that good in terms of a sniper. a tight bore barrel will remedy the problem. the bolt is very easy to pull. Sniper Rifles are all straight forward and easy to operate. the gun shoots pretty hot around 600 fps with propane on hot days. but the power can be tuned down by a PCS (power control system) and can manage around 400 fps with Duster gas.

its really easy to maintain. just buy a rifle cleaning kit from Canadian Tire to clean the inner barrel and lube friction parts. keep in mind that a clean barrel produces far better accuracy than a dirty one.

I'll give it a 8.5/10

And you, like most teens, seem not to care much about the laws.

Parents who buy airsoft for their kids rarely supervise the use of the guns afterwards. That too is illegal. But that's ok, you dont pay for it, right?

To the original poster, you have years to read reviews. Start today.

If they dont allow any sort of gun in the house than how do you plan on buying any airsoft once your 18? Moving out for school or just plan on moving out when you are old enough?

I believe you will have much more fun with real rifles, than with airsoft rifles. What highschool do you go to? You can join the CF as a co-op course, which is what Im doing next year.

i go to chci and me and my friend are doing co-op next year. if i'm right co-op is bmq and after highschool you can go straight to sqc. i had the opertunity to use the c7a1 in the fusiliers SAT sim (range team for my squadron) and if the kick is anywhere the same as using 5.56x45mm than it's a very low recoil weapon.
