"I'm an attacker/rifleman but when I saw this m28 sniper I fell in love with it. I bought it here on evike and also added the aim 3 9x40 scope for $35 . I also bought the $25 sniper package of matrix 6000 bbs with 1000 each weight. It looks like I'm going with .30g and or .40g. I hit a size of a stop sign about 70 plus yards with both .30 and .40.

Chronoed it (out the box) with .20 first and at the highest 534 fps, but in average 525.
- with .30 at the highest 429 fps but averaged at 424 fps.
-with .40 at the highest 364 fps but averaged 351 fps

Pros:
Echo 1 products
2 mags
Solid rifle
Very Strong shot thru a cotton shirt up to 3 layers.
Scope ready
Barrel adaptor

Cons:
No manual
Watch YouTube videos before putting rifle together, to get The right order to put the screws in and so it won't misfeed.
No cleaning rod
Very very cheap plastic magazines

"I got the M-28 in last night and put it together, there where no instructions in my box.. but it was easy to assemble.. the Evike review said the bi-pod was a little flimsy.. but that is because it was made to pivot at that point for uneven ground. I have you to shoot it but cant wait for this weekend to test it out.. I love the fact that it is 90% metal...

Overall its a great Rifle for a good price.

"Take my word for it this gun is amazing i just got it for christmas and was so happy here are some pros and cons.


Pros.
easy and fast to put together
very acurate
The scope is very durable

by Charles P. on 12/04/2010

Pros:
Metal parts
Low price
Comes with bipod
High Fps
Comes with two mags and a speedloader

Cons:
The metal outer barrel looks pretty big
doesnt have color options: od green, ect.
by Brian R. on 06/19/2013
"Ok so over all this is a good gun, the mags were hard to keep in but I figured it out, the only trouble the we really had were the threads to put it together because they were painted over, on mine for some reason the safety doesn't work wich is ok because its bolt action. But on occasions when pulling the bolt back it fired without pulling the trigger woch could be dangerous because once it ricoched and hit my hand. All in all itis a great gun and im looking to use it in an actual war.
by Brandyn W. on 12/25/2012
"So I just got this gun today for Christmas. It was a complete surprise, haha. But I like what I see.

Pros:
Nice weight
Bolt is easy to pull back
Sturdy
Looks and feels real
Sturdy bi-pod
Fluted barrel
Threaded barrel adapter

Cons:
Mine had a scratch on the body
Did not come with a scope
Magazine is hard to get out of the gun
You do not have this gun

So far, I give this gun a 9/10. I haven't gotten to shoot it yet, so we'll see what happens.
by Maritza R. on 10/15/2011
"This is gun is a very good gun. I've had for about a month and has been pretty good. The only problem I've been experiencing is that after a certain amount of shots, it starts to slam fire. Don't get alarmed, I've been able to fix this with ease. The problem, from my perspective, is that due to the vibration from the shots the screws of the trigger get loose and that's what causes it to slam fire, one just needs to tighten the screws in my case. Apart form all of that, shoots great. Really accurate and from the price it is, you can't ask for more.

"I'm giving this a 4 star because this sniper is for EXPERIENCE SNIPERS / SNIPER TECHS ONLY!!!

I got the m24 about 2years ago (since 5/8/2015) Stock this gun is nice and a lot of fun, the externals are solid, the bipod is awesome, and it looks great too! BUT BEWARE! The internals on this gun are TRASH, it uses a plastic piston/spring guide and it WILL break within 500 shots if you dont upgrade the internals (500 shots if youre lucky) I disassembled my gun upon arrival to lube and clean like usual, i maybe shot 50 shots through it first to see how it was shooting. within ~50 shots there were already wear marks on the piston, so I looked up upgrades for this gun. I bought the 2 must haves first (Piston/Spring guide & trigger sears) The trigger sears i bought from evike, the speed airsoft sears (VSR10 compatible) however on the piston i had to get custom made from a gentleman named Rangers Customs (now retired). after i bought a tightbore barrel (angel customs) and a madbull hop up unit. This gun shoots like a dream! my effective range is easily 275ft. a little past that it might take more than 1 shot.


Summary: The gun is good, but NO ONE makes upgrades for it anymore. I MEAN NO ONE! So if youre not really talented with a lathe go with a VSR series! itll be dead within 500 shots (Slam Firing) without upgrades! After all the upgrades this gun cost me around $400USD.... i wish i wouldve went with a jg bar 10 or something close to it...


Pros:
Nice externals
Looks great
Comes with 2 mags and a bipod

Cons:
Internals are trash!
HEAVY!!! ( mine weighs in at 12lbs! almost 3x more than a vsr!)
Start price is expensive for a gun this crappy quality internally
No one makes upgrades anymore so look elsewhere!

"Trigger mech is a complete POS, and finding a replacement is difficult. There are a few after market ones that are well machined and are a direct fit but good luck finding one in stock
by Skylar B. on 12/01/2016
"OK to start off with the rifle is amazing to look at! That's about the extent of it I really want this rifle to work but it's just not the product I know echo 1 can put out. The internals are subpar. I just got my gun a few days ago for a tournament this weekend and am thinking I should have went with the vsr 10 gspec.
Straight out of the box this rifle had a problem the spring after you cock the gun seriously is bending the bolt against the top of the chamber causing it to scratch and making a very very un smooth movement. I'm very disappointed that it is doing this without playing a single game.
The fps is great and the gun hurts but it's just not worth the money. I have nothing against echo 1 just wish the product was better. I don't belive there are many aftermarket parts for it even though they say the vsr is compatible I would just go with the vsr.

Pros
.shoots hard
.looks absolutely beautiful
.Very nice weight feels just like the real steel
Suppressor is nice and heavy well made

Con
The internals
Upgradeability
The bolt

"I had the gun for roughly 2 years before i traded it for a Socom Gear Novak 1911, which by then the gun was only shooting 320 FPS, and sniping is not really my thing, so before you call me an idiot, I got the better end of the deal. Anyway on to the review:

PRO's
Durable exterior
Balanced weight
Easy to shoot
Harris style bipod included

CON's
FPS is not consistant
Inaccurate
Plastic piston and spring guide
People don't call hits becasue they don't feel it
Expensize.............

3/5 because the exterior is probably the best you can get for its price, but the internals are not worth the $175 price tag. In order to make this gun a good sniper rifle, you may be throwing another $100 into it with upgrades. If I had to make the choice to go back and buy this, I would get an AEG instead.

"I just received this gun today and its amazing. Built strong,shots hard,good accuracy bolt pullers hard but not a big deal it is to be expected with the power. the only problem i have is that none of my mags will feed even the spare magi bought unless i keep my hand pressed up on the mag which is very hard to do being left handed dose anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it!!!!!
