Snow Wolf SV-98 Bolt Action Airsoft Sniper Rifle (Color: Russian Green)

"Managed to get Russian Green and it Looks awesome. Shoots around 420 FPS on .2s out of the box and can hop .32s on max setting. Disassembly is similar to a TM L96 with a few differences. Stock internal parts are too off-spec to be compatible, but with modification it is possible to install.

"you buy it for the looks, its an sv98 body with an L96 bolt so there are plenty of parts for upgrades. if you do not like the sv98 body dont pay the premium just by an L96. when buying an airsoft sniper for 200 or less expect to buy upgrade parts. the Tokyo Marui bolt upgrade to 500 fps is a $50 product and you are good to go.

"This is a full review from my experience with the riffle :

I purchased this off of a guest account back on first release. the price vs. quality was somewhat worth the price, however after running about 200 or so rounds through it the bolt had gave out and it sheared off, which was impressive given the fact the rod connecting the back end of the bolt safety assembly was about an inch and a quarter in diameter. it was a clean break too which suggests the bolt suffers from micro fractures after minimal use. my bolt was maintained until that point using gun cleaner from DnL and lubricant from here on evike.

the plastic stock version of this product also tends to buckle and loosen around the areas the barrel sits on it, it doesn't lead to any major issues using the gun but if you care about keeping a pristine and well-maintained look for your collectables it may be hard to achieve such a feat with that issue present in the current models.

other than that, appropriate attachments fit well and certain parts for other riffles of this category fit well such as carry handles and sight rings.

for a first time purchase it's a worthwhile gun, however for someone invested in the sport I would avoid any rough conditions or field use, and primarily get this brand of SV-98 if you are looking more for a conversation piece than anything else.


(I would also like to know if anyone knows where I can get a new bolt for this without having to purchase an entirely new gun, I have a friend interested in trying airsoft and he wants to use a sniper and figured if such a part exists, I could gift it to him as a starter gun once I am able to fix it)
