I have a friend who has this gun and it is heavy like the description says, though i doubt it was rated the airsoft consumers best sniper buy. It is accurate, high fps, pretty durable, and fun to use which makes this gun out to be a pretty good gun to use for.. well.. Sniping. the body of the gun could use a little work though because it scratches pretty easily and i have even seen it once crack a little. but all in all, if you want a pretty good sniper that doesnt cost an arm and a leg, this would probably be it.
