USMC M40A3 Sportline Airsoft Sniper Rifle by Matrix / Double Eagle (Color: Black / Add Scope + Bipod + Extra Magazine)

"Solid gun, possibly best sniper on the market for the price. I’ve had it for 4 years and only in the last few months the hopup started to go out, still works but the hop is inconsistent. Never uprgraded anything, only added a cheap scope.
Pros:
lightweight (could be a con, I guess)
easy and short bolt pull
accurate
excellent range for the price
top pic rail has a groove in it (i sometimes like to take off the scope and use the groove like iron sights; for some reason the gun lends itself to instinctive shooting

Cons:
Very light
After 4 years I can’t remove the bolt, the spring guide stopper seems wedged in very tightly

Overall, for 90 bucks, you can’t go wrong if you want to start sniping on a budget. throw on a cheap scope, snag an extra mag and some .28’s or .32s and you’ll be good. At some point I might throw in a new bucking and possibly barrel, toss a refles sight on top and use it as a fairly close range sniper.

"I bought this sniper rifle a little over a year ago and I’m highly impressed by its performance all this time. I purchased a scope separately from Academy that I mounted on it. It works best with .42 gram bbs with half hop up; it can hit 60 yard targets consistently but I can’t hit at least 70% of 100 yard shots with it. It’s built nice and sturdy and all in all works great!

"This is a great buy, nice rifle with great weight that is portable and shoots great

"Nice gun! Upgradable spring and barrel. The $8 S&T spring fits perfectly, and the ASG Tightbore barrel for $20 is also an easy upgrade. Haven't had a chance to Chrono it yet, but it kicks hard with the spring and tight barrel. Bought it on sale for $72 so I have a total of $100 into the gun. Shots feel like I'm shooting a 22. It can hop .32s no problem, actually had to keep it at the halfway point because anything more would sent them to the moon in stock configuration. Will be trying .40s next week.

"Very accurate Gun. Shoots far and has an average fps of 445! If your thinking about getting it get it nowwww great price!

"Good sniepr rifle, woudl recommend

"Great budget sniper

picket up the green version for $75 2 years ago and it was/is great value I feel even for its current price. of $115

I'm yet to take it to a field as there are no outdoor fields near me but at least as a plinking gun, it's fantastic.
pretty accurate and is very comfortable to shoot.

plus it just feels nice to hold and shoot, the bold is very smooth and the trigger is nice.

I don't have that much to say about it just that as a first sniper or as a plinking gun you can't go wrong with it especially if you put a cheap optic on it

Good luck out there.

"I have to say, I am VERY impressed with this "budget" replica of the M40A3 (aka M62). Right out of the box with .26g BB's I got a fairly consistent 435 to 440 fps, it was actually getting faster after 50 shots and settled in at 445 /- 5fps. I could actually shoot .30 polished BB's flat trajectory to 235ft without losing much speed. Groups at 235 ft were around 5 inches reliably, more than enough to hit a torso in an airsoft fight. I'm thinking of moving into a sniper roll from a squad position, I'm getting old and not moving around a lot is appealing. This is the perfect "sniper platform" to begin on and it appears to be upgradeable. I hope EVIKE will offer upgrades and how-to's for this model Double Eagle/Matrix / ASG, etc., M62/M40A3 private labelled versions, for us to BUY MORE STUFF!

I've already added a 6-9" Bipod similar to the one in the ad and a 3-9 ranging 40mm Scope on MEDIUM height rings. Camo painting is next, and a stronger spring shortly after.

"Bought the m62 dub eagle when it was on sale an its worth every penny shoots far an straight 28g bbs no hop need min an 20s depending on brand

"Great starter performance rifle. Wind isn't a problem for 100 ft. or greater with .38.

"I recommend this gun if you plan on upgrading and building it up. Great FPS right out of the box still works really well.

"Ok- I've had this gun for almost a year. It's performed admirably in winter and in summer, although it has the usual sniper problems. I R-hopped it successfully, and use .32s. I will be getting some .4s soon, so I'll see how those run. Right now I can hit a person at almost 300 feet. I've hit some 250 foot shots- my favorite was when it hit a tree and ricocheted into the person. I installed a m140? m150? spring, supposedly a 500 fps spring- got decent results with that, now I can push heavies at almost 430-450 fps. The spring has since smoothed down with use, but still gets decent power through. Rhop or flathop is really good for this gun's barrel- I'd recommend getting a PDI cold hammer forged barrel with really good tolerance, it's worth the money and smooths out your consistency when paired with a good bucking. The trigger unit I'd expect would last about 50k shots- I've put about 10k rounds through it already. I got this specifically for an impression kit as a USMC scout/sniper, and I'd recommend that you just get a JG bar 10 instead- more aftermarket. However- for my purposes, it serves me well and is compatible with enough aftermarket to make it shoot some 300 feet with ease. Mags are pretty decent, a lot of parts are plastic though and strip if you tighten ANY screw too much. Not too bad for the price I paid- 68 bucks on sale.

"So far I have had this gun for a couple of months, and it has held up great. This being my first sniper, I was skeptical on buying one of the higher end rifles just in case it wasn't my preferred style of play. When the package arrived, it was extremely easy to assemble out of the box and came with a speed loader (very helpful unless you want to hand feed each bb into the magazine), and a pack of 100 6mm .20g bbs. The rifle body is made out of a dense polymer that even though it is plastic, is tough and will stand up to a bit of wear. The barrel and picatinny rails are made of metal or aluminum. I first tried out shooting the bbs that came in the package. But after shooting some of the .20gs I decided to move it up some to .25g. These worked better seeing as they didn't blow off course as easily. The hop up is very easy to engage and simple to set according to the distance you are trying to shoot at. Also it is a plus that the system is compatible with most if not all VSR-10 systems which makes it easy to upgrade depending on how you want to customize it. The adjustable cheek rest is a really nice feature that the designers threw in there to add a slight customization element out of the box. I wish that it would have come with a scope and bipod like shown in the picture but there are some great ones for under $25 on amazon that I picked up. Soon I am going to be upgrading to one of the Novritsch ssg's but will be keeping this one just to have a backup. If you are a beginner at airsoft sniping I would really recommend this gun and even if you are more experienced seeing how easy it is to upgrade. For the price I really don't think that you can beat the value and accuracy of this rifle.

"I really recommend this gun, it is very durable and lasted me a year so far. If you are in to snipers i highly recommend this for a starter gun. Also if you want more performance i suggest buying another clip.

"For $90 out of the box this is a good option for sombody looking to get into sniping. The gun is solid, not too heavy, and has an extremely smooth and easy bolt pull. Performance wise it’s good too. I try dialing in all my guns to hit a soda can consistently at 100ft, which is admittedly asking a lot out of a gun (even upgraded ones) and this M40 was no exception. With .30’s I was really struggling to hit the can. I had the hop up maxed out and my scope well zeroed, but I was having shot after shot miss a little left or a little right, just not very consistent, BUT a can is very small and if it was a man sized target this gun would be hitting every time, even at long range. Overall not bad at all and the gun looks great with a Harris bipod and 3x9 scope.
