ARES Otto Repa SOC AR Airsoft AEG Rifle

"Have owned the big brother Soc SLR for awhile and love it, so I had to have this one as well.
I love the feel and heft to it. Very solid. Straight out of the box I think it's great. I changed out the hop up, bucking and nub though. I despise the stock hop ups. Other than that it shoots fantastic.
I use .32s and I can get them out to 200 feet plus easily. Rate of fire isn't crazy high but certainly performs well enough.
Overall I give this gun a 9/10. If it came wired to deans and didn't have the subpar hop up it would easily be a 10/10.

"Just got this Bad boy to go with my SOC SLR.
Out of the box it is a very accurate gun, don’t feel like I need a tight bore or new hop up immediately (unlike the SLR.)

Pros
Sleek and sexy design
Very accurate
Good rate of fire- 2 round burst is sweet.
You can add rails for a fore grip
Good FPS for longer ranges fields.
Quick change spring.
Feeds very well
I like the weight
Easy to take apart.

Cons
Did not come with QR sling mounts like my SLR did
For some the weight maybe an issue.
Mags wobble pretty good even with the stock mag.
Mag release is odd but is easy to get use to.
The bolt of the gun sits right where your hand rests,
A fore grip will help with this.

5 star gun so far for me. The cons really are not that bad and can be easily taken care of, minus the mag release part.

"Alrighty then, so this is built like a tank. I don't see it ever breaking from anything short of being run over by a 3/2 ton. I'll save some time by not saying the same thing everyone else says and I'll just include some possibly helpful info.

-threads are 14mm positive
-the pistol grip is milspec but also holds the battery box for the laser (2xAAA)
-laser is adjustable
-the orange tip is plastic now and is glued on with possibly the best glue I've ever encountered. You will need to melt that bastard off.
-there is mag wobble, but so far any pts or pts style mags (like the skull frog mags) work great.
-the mag release isn't as bad as people say. And it's m4 compatible so you can put a paddle button on it if you so wish.
