A few days ago I bought this from Spyops, because Shorty messed up my credit card info, So I canceled the order. Overall it was 180$ from Spyops (great guys, my friend also bought an m4). I fell in love as soon as I got to shoot this monster: The gun is very solid.. my only concern is the bipod attachment shifts side to side when moving, its nothing to troublesome though.
Next we come to the actual shooting of the gun. With the hop up on its max setting this gun shoots very wild with .20s. My hopup isn't changing, so I'm using .3's and they still fly up at longer distances. I would recommend some heavier BBs for this gun to get the maximum distance without losing accuracy.(obviously) With the correct weight bbs this gun is a monster. get your self a scope and some scope rings and you should be all set.
UTG has thrown in a rifle sling, a speed loader, an extra magazine, and the allen wrenches needed to assemble the gun. the included tools are also used to add spacers to the stock of the gun, or raise and lower the cheek rest. The magazines hold about 28 rounds each, not too bad to start out with.
I got to test her out in a night game later that evening, and it performed really well.
Pro's: cheap about 480-490 fps (cronoed) Well built Easy to action extra accessories mostly Interchangeable parts with the maruzen L96 Upgrades coming soon easy to put together Quiet
Cons Bulky wobbly bipod mount my hopup won't adjust
Overall, I would say it is worth the price. I'm still not sure on how durable it will be for the long run, but for now it's worth the money.

Even so, the quality of the gun is still going to be inferior to that of say the Maruzen, or any actual sniper weapon system.
