Matrix SVD II Dragunov Bolt Action Airsoft Sniper Rifle (Color: Desert Tan)

"Ok, before I get into the review, I want to say this is gun is very good.. for the money. for $145 it is worth it, but definitely not scrimmage ready.

When I pulled the SVD out of the box, I have to say, I was impressed. The metal work was pretty nice, but it was very soft (as in I dropped the removable cover and the corner bent, but I just bent it back into place.) The outer barrel had moderate movement, but wasn't that bad. The hand guard also had a bit of movement, but electrical tape fixed that. The stock had absolutely no wobble at all which was relieving.

In terms of performance, it was ok. AT first the spring was extremely hard to pull back, but afet spraying some silicon lube on the cylinder, it was very easy. It was so easy I recommend upgrading to an M170. In terms of accuracy, I am not impressed. Even with .3's (for that spring it is the right BB in my eyes) I had a good amount of flyers. I installed a 6.01 650mm barrel and a new bucking and it the change was RIDICULOUS. With the m170 spring, at 200 feet a body sized target was no problem and a head size target was very doable, even at that range.

So to sum up, the gun is pretty good, but with some good upgrades, it is really good. And to make it really good it will only cost about $220 including the gun.

"I'v hade this gun for about a month its a pretty good gun i love it!!!!! The hopup is insain!!!!!!! i shot it with hop up on and the bb curved out the barell and came back by my face with a .20 . I dont use hop up any way so it dont matter.

PROS
Good fps 450 to 500
Full Metal gun
Hang gard and stock are Polymer
Great accuracy with .25 ok with .20 I recamend using .25 or higher
Good check rest
Looks cool
All internals are metal
Looks real
It hurts!!
Orange cap is easy to remove
40 to 45 round clip

cons
The clips kinda wobalee.... i fixed it with a peace of tape not that big of a deal
The clip is not full metal its a plastic clip with a metal cover

Webmaster: The SVD II new version has the mag wobbling issue fixed! = )

"i just recieved this gun yesterday, and when i pulled it out of the box, it was amazing, it shot well, it was powerful, and very accurate. overall this gun is a must have if you are into sniping, or long range weaponry.

Pros:
Great accuracy
Powerful
Alot of metal
great mag size

Cons:
hard to pull back cocking handle
no manuel

"Okay. Here's one of my 3 favorite rifles of all time. I recieved this rifle, essentially, free so the only way for me to judge it is performance.


I am in love with this rifle!

I have a backyard range of near 40 yards where I tested this gun. At 35 yards, I found the grouping to be an inch in diameter!!! I was thoroughly surprized by this, as it's a bolt action. I had to re-aim every shot and found my target with ease in the sights. I give this gun 5 / 5 headshots! Message me for more info.

"For one, this gun looks just awesome. I bought the PSO-1 scope which is about $149.00(i laughed because the is about the price of the gun but it is the real thing). It was a nightmare for my dad and I to attach the scope to this gun(The scope that i bought does no need a mount but is very hard to put on the gun).

PROS:
looks awsome!
cheek rest is comfortable
mostly metal and VERY strong polymer
Some say the mag wobble is bad, but my mag does not wobble at all

CONS:
Its very hard to pull the bolt back(should buy some gloves)
The mag i got is not the mag it said it came with, it does not have a hatch that opens for me to load the BB's
When you take the make out, about three BB's fall out on the ground

"Well, I got this rifle a few days ago, after tuning in the hop up and putting in some goldenball proslick .20g BB's I decided it was scope worthy, I will be ordering a scope and mount in a few days. Overall, good gun. Although the bolt is difficult to pull back for the first few shots, but hey, no pain no game. Buy it, Mount it with a scope, Obliterate with it.

"Got this out of the box and immediately some pin came out that was hold the whole trigger, and trigger guard and that whole mechanism in, which meant I had to start by re attaching that. I'm not sure if it came like that before I opened it, or if I did it whilst taking out of the box. Either way I won't let that drag it down as it was easy to fix was likely a one time occurrence, however what wasn't was the fact that the stock came detached, and to attach it you need to open up the plate by the upper receiver, and to do that required a small allen wrench which took me awhile to find, but after that I attached it and actually got to use the gun about an hour after first receiving it, however after that I quite enjoyed using it, this gun shoots good, feels sturdy, looks and feels amazing.

Pros:
Kinda Accurate
Materials feel sturdy and high quality, even the polymer on the hand grip feels awesome
Cool looking and feeling

Cons:
Required a bit of assembly, understandable tho as it is a long gun, so I see why they ship it with the stock detached
Bolt to charge your next shot is very hard to pull back
Kinda heavy

"The Gun came and was relatively fine but the stock didn't fit AT ALL the dimensions didn't fit therefore the stock didn't work, I got it on though by attacking the two screws not the 3rd big one and then hitting it up with a rubber mallet and it popped in, it is true that the mag drops 2-3 pellets overtime you take it out and it needs at least 2 pellets in the mag for the bullet to even get in the chamber, however it does have great fps and hop up was easy to adjust and I really like the gun all frustrations aside

"great gun for $120 i have had for a year and only problem was outer barrel sliding off ( fixed with some epoxey) but fires at leat 500 fps with .2s

Pros
heavy
high fps
mostly metal
durable
acurate
looks amazing

Cons
hard to cock
heavy
hurts enemies
no rail for scope ( you can get a mount at evike)
outer barrel was loose

"Amazing gun got mine yesterday had my war today it shot amazing i kept hitting people over and over the bolt is HARD to pull i am a 13 year old and i pulled it back with ease. Great begging/low Amatuer Gun And for the price Its woth it. Mt friend have gas snipers that shoot 450 fps and they paid like $250 dollers for them This out shoots and out prices supprised it is not out of stock

"Rifle is a clone of the atoz dragunov that was discontinued years ago and seems almost better. The rifle shoots hard but is equally hard to chamber a bb. (380-410 .2s)

Pros:

-Metal barrel, magazine, reciever, trigger, and bolt
-Strong plasic foregrip and stock
-Shoots hard
-Iron sights dead accurate to 60-70ft easily
-High cap mag
-Easily upgradable
-Realistic


Cons:

-Hard bolt pull
-Slight play in the foregrip
-Mount is slightly off for scopes meaning real scopes can wobble around and potentially fall
-Not real wood
-Black makes every imperfection(scratch) noticeable


Overall this is the gun you bring to games that everyone wants to use in a game, but doesn't know if they want the scope or not because of the wobble and extra bulk. True croudpleaser and fun to use.

"This gun looks absolutely awesome! I was really happy with the finished look after I took it out of the box, and assembled it. But, I want everyone out there who may be looking at this gun to know: It will double feed practically every time! I had to put electrical tape in the mag well area to get the mag to fit snugly with the well, and prevent about 75% of the double feeding issues. But it shoots very well when it does not double feed, and I would recommend this gun to anybody who has the ability to spend some time tweaking this SVD to fit their expectations. I thought when I first bought this, "I'am sure that it will not double feed! Those people probably just got lemons!" But I think that every SVD like this will have that issue. So if you really like the design, go ahead and get it... just be warned that you will need to modify it so that it double feeds less.
