New Gun!!! Echo 1 M28 Bolt Action Sniper Rifle Review

its here!!! christmas is here and so is my new echo 1 m28 sniper rifle!!! im really wanting to do a review over it but im not gonna do that gay unboxing crap because i hate it. so here it is!!!

First Impressions

when i pulled everything out of the box i was surprised at how sturdy everything was. the stock piece is a very good feeling plastic and textured really well. the upper part of the gun is pretty average weight for a sniper but once i put it together it was pretty heavy, about as heavy as my well l96. its pretty easy to put together, the screws are kinda confusing, knowing which one to put where, but other than that its pretty easy.  

other than the gun, it comes with a barrel extension adapter (that i put on), the orange tip (that i took off), a harris style bipod, 2 mags, a speed loader, a barrel cleaner, and the screws and the right size hex wrench. 

Features

extendable stock. this is a pretty awesome stock. i love it. its easy to use and easy to adjust.

harris style bipod. this was really confusing for me. ill explain later. its pretty nice though and works well for sturdy shooting. and the legs pop out with a button which is pretty handy.

2 mags. the mags are pretty cheap but they will do. they hold about 20ish each and slide in really easy. it is really nice that echo 1 included an extra mag, i wish well would have done the same for my l96.

barrel extension adapter. i plan on putting a silencer on sometime in the future. i put this on just so the orange tip wouldnt be on. ill only use it for going to events while its in the car. but it goes on nice and easy and the orange tip comes off fairly easy. just give it a nice hard twist and itll screw right off.

fluted barrel. this makes it look pretty freaking awesome. thats really all its for, and to make the gun lighter.

speed loader.

orange tip and tools. that screw in there ill talk about later.

the scope didnt come with the gun, i had an extra one from an old gun i use for extra parts.

Shooting

this gun shoots great!!! right after i put it together i put some .25s in the speedloader and went to test it out. today is spitting snow and is really windy but it still shot hard and fairly accurate in the extreme wind, alot better than i thought it was going to. GI chronod  this gun in at 530 to 550 fps and you can tell its shooting that. at about 100 feet, when the wind died down for a bit, i attempted to scope it in and was hitting dead accurate, about a 1 inch spread no joke. the action is pretty smooth. the bolt is hard to pull back at times and its starts to hurt hand after a while but its pretty nice. 

i love the sound of the action too. it just sounds awesome. when its nicer outside im definitely gonna do a shoot session to scope it in better.

Problems

the front of the gun stock has 2 pins for mounting the bipod and a sling but there is not enough room for the bipod. but i solved the problem. there is a pin already in the stock piece that you can take out, so take it out. then put the pin that screws into the barrel in that holds it to the body. then put on the bipod. i had a hard time getting it on because ive never used one of the types of bipods before but its pretty easy once you get it.

Conclusion (for now)

awesome gun! definitely shoots great and feels amazing. action is smooth but can be hard and can hurt your hand after a while. the bipod is awesome just a little confusing. mags are cheap, oh well, theyll work. barrel adapter is great, i plan on putting on a silencer soon.

over all a 5 out of 5 stars so far. i still have alot to test so ill be back to talk about the gun more.
