[Set] Airsoft rifle bolt-action ST200 Full Metal - Tan [S&T] + RifleScope Victoptics SOI 4-12X40 [Vector Optics]

This S&T M200 replica makes quite an impression once you unbox it. The real steel M200 is supposed to be twice as heavy - unbelievable, how anyone can handle that rifle! Anyway, this is an aluminum version, rendering it more convenient to handle in airsoft skirms. A steel version would be out of the question, unless you're the Hulk.
I measured 240 fps @ 0.30g, which is quite remote from the 406 fps that I'm allowed to apply with a sniper in my country (2.3 J). Not a problem of course, the installed spring is just on the safe side and another one (I guess a stronger one) was in the box. Swapping springs should be no issue with this sniper rifle, as I already tried. The bolt-group can be easily removed from the receiver, after which the nozzle and cylinder-top are accessible for removal. It seems to be a pity that this M200 version from S&T has a rather short bolt-action, just enough as to make the BB and the spring cycle, but this also helps in the field to have a quicker cycle. The actual issue with this sniper rifle may be that it does not promise to be any better than other models, but let's be honest here: who in his right mind considers buying an M200, only for its alleged qualities as a sniper rifle? It's heavy as hell, and also quite long, making it a struggle to handle, as compared to most other replicas. And that is exactly why I like this rifle! I'm going to wrap it in camo tape and will tweak the internals to make it properly reliable, before I'm even going to consider taking it to the field. I already had a Vector Optics Grizzly 3-12x56 scope. This will perfectly sit on this S&T 200, once I will have added a bit of heightening to the picatinny seat. It's an impressive gun, as you may expect, but don't be too naïve about its size and weight. It's massive, while it won't do much better as a sniper than any other well-tweaked model.
One detail that I already can mention now: when you detach the outer barrel from the receiver, ensure that the hopup-adjustment hole inside the outer barrel wall is aligned with the actual hopup-adjustment, while you attach both parts together again. It's not self-aligning at all, but, it's easy to notice by checking it with the hex-nut tool that fits the hopup-adjustment screw.

The gun is OK ish. The aluminium parts are heavy and robust. When it comes to tolarences, it is quite bad. Everyhing is loose ans woobly, but it works.
The Taiway Gun store ships super fast. But my ST200 came with missing bipod screws and fasteners. I sent them an email with pictures and full explanation. The reply was that I must fill up a web form instead. I did filled up that form with the same information. The reply was OK I must send back the whle gun to Poland, but before that I must give them all my data the third time (name, address so on). Thats where I said, OK, look it up, you sent me the gun and I gave my address on the form already three times. Unacceptable.
I think I will make those screws on my lathe.

Amazing product. It is extremely heavy so it is definitely more of a showpiece than a practical weapon, but man, from the moment you first open the package you can tell it is worth every penny. The build is amazing, and if you take it to the field, even without playing, you will definitely be the talk of the town. The fact that it comes with its very own carrying case is amazing.
Pros:
Full metal, very realistic feel.
High capacity magazine.
Can't beat the price from TaiwanGun, even with shipping this thing is amazingly priced for what it is.
It is an M200 Intervention. Nothing else needed.

Cons.
Heavy, very heavy
Will not outperform any other sniper rifles, and upgrades seem to be rare. But let's be honest, if you are buying this it is not for the performance.

I will give 5 stars , but the inters are not that good and is very sensitive to scratches, but the weapon looks good and on crono i get 1.09 - 1.12 J with 0.32. I relly like how it looks and yea i forget to tell its very havy
