Matrix Shadow Ops MB05 SR-22 Tactical Airsoft Sniper Rifle w/ Adjustable Stock (Color: Black)

"As a first time air softer and much consideration of many rifles I decided on this sniper rifle and wow, absolutely no regrets, it delivered as promised. Apart from the weight its a sturdy well built gun and packs a serious FPS punch, beer cans , soda cans, etc were demolished. Wish it came with a suppressor, which I will add on. I bought the camo wrap which gives it an aesthetic appearance and smooth out the rough edges by the butt stock. Hop up is in awkward position but getting use to it. Overall its a KEEPER !! Will urge first timers to buy the package if available. Happy shooting everyone …...

"For the price range, this is a REALLY good buy. You have to be very meticulous with the hop-up. I can accurately hit a target 120 ft. away. ( by accurately I mean I can't miss.) It's very heavy but I like that about it. The SR-22 is not made out of cheap plastic, feels nice and comfy in my hands and executes it's victims quietly. The pistol grip has an opening in front of the trigger to rest your trigger finger while you're not firing. I had to play around with the scope a lot to get it where it is now. The gun came fully functional except for the locking pin for the tri-rail that the bi-pod attaches to, which was too short. Evike couldn't figure it out and offered to replace it but I had a battle coming up so I kept it.

Over all, it is a great gun for it's price.

"This was my first ever sniper, and after being hesitant on buying a sniper, I decided to go with this. And let me tell you, this thing was a very good choice becaus3 out of the box it shoots wonderful!

Pros
Has a decent fps
Bb grouping is not godly but very nice
Has a very comfy stock
Strong and sturdy

Cons
Bottom half can be made out of better material

Definitely a must if your looking for a first sniper but if looking for a gun easily upgradable, look for a vsr- 10

"i bought one of these 5 years ago, i have upgraded it many times, i now has a tight bore inner barrel, metal trigger box, upgraded spring, piston, and guide. it is incredibly hard hitting and accurate, all my friends fear going up against me in our wars, they know i can hit them from a long ways off. i have never had a problem with the gun, it is the most reliable rifle i have ever used. if i could rate 6 stars i would

"This was my first airsoft sniper I bought. I love it, it is fairly powerful, it will make you bleed on bare skin. Shoots around 500 fps. I would prefer this gun to most people

"And i forgot to say this earlier, the fps is way off this gun ( with .25 ) is at least 570 fps and very accurate, i quick scoped my bro with it from 224 feet away right in the shoulder!

"I got this gun the other day and right outta the package amazing shoots flawlessly no problems with the internals or externals. But they did forget two screws ( not a major problem, not a lil bit of electrical tape cant fix ) i ordered .23 gram with this gun, i definitley should have ordered .30 gram cause this sniper is very powerfull

"Hands down amazing! When i unboxed this beauty I was more then impressed.

Pros.
-Has good weight to it
-Scope is actually included with package along with speed loader, 2 mags sling and speed loader.
-Amazing fps and range
-No jamming issues
-Looks and feels sexy

Cons-
Hard to cock...

This gun is great for anyone who plays airsoft. I was skeptical at first but it was a great buy for me!

"Very good sniper for it's price !

Very accurate and powerfull sniper rifle, at a very good price, I use 30g bb's and it go 500+ fps.

A must for every one who want to have serious ''sniper rifling''.

"I have owned this gun for 3 years and would buy it again and again. Out of every gun i've owned (Evike Aug/JG MP5 and other sniper rifles) this one topped them all. It has always been reliable, hard hitting and dead accurate.

Pros.
-FPS, i've measured its more around 500+
-Accuracy, I use .25/.30s and I get around 150-200ft
-Reliability, i've used it in the rain, snow, heat, dropped it and it has not broken
-Adjustable hop up
-Quietness!!, This is the biggest advantage in my book. You can shoot at someone from 30ft away and they will not know where it is coming from
-Adjustable stock

Cons.
-Heavy (i'm 6ft 165 so for me its not a problem but for some it might)
-The adjustable stock gets lose and jiggles if you don't constantly tighten it.

Overall a 5 star gun for any level of sniper

"First sniper rifle i've bought and I love it! Shoots very good out of the box and looks super cool and unique. The pros of the weapon really speak for itself and everything you want for a good rifle, and it only gets better with upgrades. My only downsides are that the hop-up is slightly annoying to adjust, even moreso with big hands. And also as a person with bigger hands, the grip is quite chunky, and I don't think i'd recommend this for a person with smaller hands. Other than that, it's a little heavy and can be awkward to handle, but if you can look past that, I love it!

Side note: I recommend a sling attachment for your top rail, because the front sling mount is WAY too far to properly adjust your length of pull.

"Mainly grabbed this rifle because I wanted a good rifle for a cheaper price and I think it's exactly that! The cheek rest and butt adjustments are awesome and it shoots great out of the box. Stupid quiet and a decent FPS. Maybe consider some small upgrades, but nothing too crazy. Trigger feels nice as well.

Very few cons, but alas they exist. I am a person with bigger hands, and I honestly wish the grip was a little big skinnier, it's just way too bulky for my liking. Can still hold the weapon comfortably, but I think there are better in that regard. And next is the bolt is REALLY heavy. Maybe it'll soften up over time, but good god you really need to pull.

Overall though, excellent weapon and I think I can say that i'm happy with it.

"This was the first bolt action rifle that I bought and I've owned and upgraded it for a year. I bought the package that includes a scope and bipod--WARNING-- it does not include the tri rail adapter at the front of the gun. Pick one up from EVIKE for $10 or you'll have no way to mount the bipod. If you do your research, you'll discover that no stock sniper rifle will be able to out-perform AEGs. Be prepared for that and don't be discouraged when you take this gun out for its first game. That being said, this is an excellent base gun to modify.

PROS:
-Competitive Price
-Accepts Standard Maruzen L96 magazines (very common)
-Uses Maruzen and UTG L96 and some APS 2 parts that are easy to find
-Longer inner barrel (509mm) than VSR-10 and M-24s
-One of kind look
-Sturdy externals with adjustable cheek rest and butt pad and ambidextrous sling points
-Higher FPS than bolt actions of the same price
CONS:
-Made in China
-Cheap Plastic Parts (Piston, Spring Guide, and Trigger box)
-Bad trigger sears that won't allow the spring to lock back (result: no pew-pew)
-HEAVY. Approx. 15lbs. Mine is 20lbs with a scope, bipod, and mock suppressor.
-Pretty loud for a spring rifle
-Subpar accuracy using .32g BBs
-Ineffective, foam barrel spacers

Since the purchase, I've upgraded to a Matrix metal trigger box, 650mm 6.03 tight-bore barrel, PPS piston and spring guide set (Matrix distributor), PPS Hop up unit for L96, Action Army barrel spacers, and a REAPS Devil A+ hop up bucking. It shoots around 500 fps with .20 g BBS, but I use Novritsch .36g sniper BBs. FYI, high grade BBs are the cheapest improvement to any gun so don't go cheap on them.

Happy Sniping

"Not bad.

List of stuff you need to replace to make it combat worthy against aegs.

Buy the power up kit for about $30. It has a
spring
spring guide
and one other piece.

Also you need a full length TBB and the angel custom hop up unit also get a new bucking.

After that shoot nothing lighter than .32g bbs out of it.

It'll be nice!

"This is an amazing sniper. It is extremely accurate and hard hitting. I do have some complaints though. First off, I can't find what was upgraded on this model. The trigger-box and internals are all still plastic. Maybe they upgraded the spring, but it is not worth a scope and $10. If have only has this for 5 months, and the trigger-box has already broken, if it had not, then the piston would have gone soon too. I suggest buying the scoped version of this and metal internal are a must have. This is a great sniper, but the spring is just too powerful for plastic internals in this version. Once you get metal internals though, this sniper should last you for years.
