"Man, this thing is awesome!
I bought this sometime late last year and it is the best sniper I own. With nothing done to it, it was firing 430 with .32's, 397-405 with 36's and 370-380 with .40's. It is dead on accurate.

If you are looking at using a scope, most ak mounts you have should work. My mount was easily interchangeable between my ak74 and this. Only difference is with this gun, you need to slide the mount on from the back and slide forward as opposed to most ak's where you slide it from the front to the back. I use an ACOG on it and it sees everything, just need to zero it rand you'll be set.

Only complaint would be the battery compartment. It's kind of tricky to do still for me. Its front wired so it is enclosed by two separate pieces that you need to hold together and push down before rolling the top locking wheel back in place.

The only upgrade you really need on this thing is to DEANS it. I use an 11.1 Titan battery and it never fails. Just pick up a couple extra midcap svd mags and you'll be set.

"Excellent for the price good quality. But the battery and charger feel cheap so I recommend change them. 0.28g bbs are perfect for this gun.

"I bought this from my local store and i can easly say its the best gun ive ever had. Right out of the box hopup is pretty bad but i changed it and got it shooting extremely accurate and far. If you are looking for a dmr that not only feels nice but shoots nice this is perfect for u

"I got mine a week ago. Right out of the box hop up is real stiff. I thought I had a defective one. It was barely able to shoot past my driveway. I would like dang I'm sending this one back. I played what the hop up for a while and adjusted it. It seems to get a little better oh, so I took it to the field. I took it to get cronold, I thought it would be crap. I was surprised with. 28 BB's. It shot at 485fps. Of course it was too hot. I put in .30bbs. It shot at 456fps. I guess it was good enough they let me use it. It was kind of neat too outrange almost all the other rifles. Definitely need a scope. I made the mistake in not ordering one at the same time. Now it's a pain to get one at a reasonable time frame.

"New to air soft and have only used it for a couple of days, but this weapon is awesome. A very good replica and a great performing rifle.
When you hit someone with this you know it from their reaction, no need to trust they will call it. First time out with it hit multiple enemies over 125 feet away, longest so far was a head shot right under 280 feet, that's all I could see and exactly what I hit. Running a 11.1V 800 mAh LiPo currently from my RC car. The stock battery worked real nice but the trigger response is a lot better with the LiPo and not to mention a little harder shooting. Currently do not have any optics on this rifle so all hits have been with the iron sights.

Pros:
Comes with (2) magazines
Comes with Battery and Wall Charger
FPS is awesome
Looks great
Hop up adjusts nicely
Great battery life

Cons:
Wish kits included the sling (has everything else)
Seems to be a lubrication hog, if it stops shooting straight at all, lube it!

"probly my most favorite airsoft gun ever. Ive owned mine for quite some time now. Ive reshimmed, rewired, added a mosfet, changed the barrel to a 590mm promy(tried the madbull 650mm and works but promy is better),changed the motor out to a frankentorque and upped the spring to a guarder sp150. Running this off a 14.8v lipo and have great trigger responseand insane range i only run .36 bb's now. My only wish is I bought a wood version. To me this is a true EBR (evil black rifle)

"So far this thing feels solid, no wobble or creaking. The two high-caps it comes with feed great, and my one complaint is the battery storage, because despite the claims, I can't get a 9.6v to actually fit, so it's time to do some grinding, but the 8.4v it comes with will definitely do the job just fine

"Ok so I didn't buy this gun from this site but I thought I'd still share how much I love this rifle. I bought this from a buddy of mine and it's the best decision I've made about airsoft so far. I used to have a spring sniper and I wanted to be able to put more rounds down range and with this you can. Make sure you use heavy bb's like .3s. In my last engagement, I scored 7 kills including my first ever "sniper" kill from a distance. This gun makes all the other players duck for cover.

Pros:
High fps
looks BA
great for those who are looking into a DM role

Cons:
gets heavy after running (attach sling and problem is gone)

"Fantastic weapon. Throw a pso-1 scope in it and you've got the deadliest sniper you can buy (in my opinion)
VERY ACCURATE
VERY HIGH FPS ideal fps for a sniper, and outranges seemingly everything!
Very high capacity mags (considering you're a sniper)
high quality build
battery lasts very very long
no mag wobble, feeding is perfect doesn't skip a single round.
CONS: hasn't done me wrong in any way (:

This gun is a force to reckon with.
by Brandon S. on 02/27/2014
"Love it.

The accuracy is good enough to hit human sized targets from over 300 feet away using .42s. Using .42s the FPS will crono at 330, very impressive for that weight.

The battery compartment is my only real complaint, It takes long stick type batteries
and getting them in can be troublesome. You'll definitely want a 9.6 battery or LiPo for it. Using lower can cause slow firing response or weird instances where you pull the trigger, it makes some noise, but nothing happens, you pull again and it fires near instant.

"this was my first airsoft gun that I purchased for field airsofting. It is a GREAT gun, it only shoots semi auto but the gun makes up for it in range, accuracy and power. I used .32 high polished bbs and it could shoot way farther than any of my friends guns(mainly echo 1 m4s and another sniper) even on a dead battery, it also was spot on and left some nice welts. I highly recommend this gun to anyone looking at purchasing a sniper or for field use.

"the best svd ive bought so far. for starters ive hit a person about 300ft away straight out of the box with no modifications i think the range is incredible. does come with two mags not one and in my opinion the stock battery works fine but feel free to change it if need be. hop up worked fine on mine but ive heard some problems with having to loosen a screw to turn it up the whole way however, this didnt happen with mine. Mine shoots about 460 with .28g bbs over 500 with .20g. This does use the cyma mags sold here on evike not a&k or king arms, but its pretty much an upgraded cyma so thats to be expected. I have an airsoft pos1 and real steel posp scope both worked fine no problems attaching to rail. Just a little fun fact it does fit my real svd bayonet, however i dont recomend using it while playing.....but i do....just for looks... i would recomend this gun to beginners that want a really nice gun that doesnt need upgraded and even long time players. There is no wood kit but if you want one get the wood cyma and upgrade the fps and hop up yourself if you know what you are doing. over all very pleased with this one of my favorite guns ever

pros. shoots 460 with 28g over 500 with 20g (good for outside)
hits over 300 ft.
good right out of the box tops any other svd on the market so far
semi auto sniper
no upgrades needed
accurate i can shoot the head off a dandelion


cons. there is no real cons however some pros can be listed as cons
high fps for most fields
well thats it but id hardly call that a con just get a weaker spring for your field if need be

"This is the best gun ever! Got it yesterday and i love it. PLEASE NOTE THAT MINE CAME WITH TWO MAGS UNLIKE SAID IN DESCRIPTION circa 07/25/12
Lets start out with pros and cons.

Pros: Supreme Accuracy and Range! (So far i have used .25s but i am going to buy Echo 1 .28s today), the semi auto is very nice and awesome trigger response and i am using the 8.4 stick battery that came with it. This gun is amazing!

Cons: NONE! Except that i had a little bit of a hard time putting the battery in but that happens with everybody's first try. Check out Brian from Echo 1 USA's video on the CSR and everything will make sense!


LOVE THIS GUN

"For the price, this gun is amazing. I ran it without any upgrades for the longest time and it hasn't done wrong by me. If you want to be feared in an outdoor field this is the gun to do it.
I'd recommend upgrading the hop up rubber and tensioner though since my rubber ripped after 6-7 months and the stock tensioner can't withstander tougher rubbers.
