[Set] CM.700-U Upgraded Version 570 fps - Olive [CYMA] + RifleScope Victoptics SOI 4-12X40 [Vector Optics]

After 19 years of experience I bought this replica. That's the point. In my airsoft career I have made several upgraded versions of bolt action sniper rifles. With this rifle I have everything I need for a fun game. All I have changed is the barrel and a better hop-up rubber.

When I bought the M200 sniper rifle, I expected it to be awkward in its handling. But the actual truth about it turned out to be brutal: it's too large and heavy for a practical skirm, even though I love that beast to bits.
Then I decided to buy this M40-A3 sniper rifle, as it seems to be a no-nonsense proper rifle that will do the job in all honesty, without any cosmetic pretense whatsoever. And it did not disappoint one bit! It is simply a great airsoft sniper with consistent performance. I still need to disassemble it to inspect the internals, but my first impression, after a few weeks, is that will be my companion in skirms for quite some time. It feels really sturdy. The polymer lower receiver is quite solid. Wood may have delivered a more esthetic look and feel perhaps, but this polymer does a good job nevertheless.
The bolt-action feels smooth and consistent, although I felt like adding some lithium-grease to it anyway. The mounted spring is a bit too powerful for my country, so that I will have to replace it for a weaker one. Two other springs were included in the package for that purpose.
The package came also with 3 mags, which is a nice surprise.
Perhaps one detail may be a distracting disadvantage: the hopup unit controls. You have to cycle the bolt, so that the nozzle is retracted, before you can access the two small nuts that allow for the hopup to be adjusted. I have never seen such a hopup unit control before. But, the advantage to this is that there is no hopup control mechanism on the outside that can distract from the replica illusion.
Seasoned airsoft snipers may have opinions about sniper rifles like this one, I don't know. But I cannot imagine as how even experienced snipers out there could find anything wrong with this Cyma 700U (apart from the hopup control issue), a very nice replica of the Remington 700 real-steel sniper rifle, adapted for the US Marine Corps and rebranded as the M40-A3.

Has a great weight, size and feel are identical to my real steel McMillan.

Would have liked an extra mag or a threaded adapter in the box, but it’s hard enough to find heavy tracers and the mags are cheap so not a huge deal.

The hop-up leaves a lot to be desired since it is two screws with two arms and the bolt has to be back and mag removed, but once dialed in with .43, it shouldn’t need to be adjusted. The upgraded version shoots great.

Can’t recommend enough for someone looking to get into sniping with a realistic feeling McMillan M40A3 clone. Really makes me want another.

Exceeded expectations. Great support from Taiwangun as well. Questions answered. Will order again.

Updated review after several uses:

One issue I've found with this rifle is that the quality of the metal in the outer barrel is quite poor.

After only unscrewing the front bolt/pin for the third time, it won't screw back in because the hole for the bolt is stripped very badly.

No longer have a method to mount my bipod until I can figure out a solution.

Have yet to use the gun, but the build is very solid. Very easy to disassemble as well. Suspect the cheek rest would need to be very securely tightened for those who want to raise it to stop it falling back down.

You can adjust the length of the stock easily by removing plates.

The trigger feels great to pull, though the bolt is very stiff to start. I'd advise adding some additional grease and also a less viscous lubricant like silicone oil to help loosen it up a bit.

This sniper is easily one of the best out of the box rifles I've ever bought! It's very consistent, accurate, and has a reach of about 320 feet from what I've shot so far, using .43g bb's. It has hardly any off shots, and if so it's due to wind, as usual.

Pro's:
Amazing manufacturing, from the super durable polymer stock, to the steel, and aluminum of the barrel and trigger units.
Does not skip a beat, whether you're loading another round in, or another magazine, no problems.
Shoots further than any other sniper out of the box easily, hands down.
I personally love the pdi 2 arm hopup, and have mine set dead accurate everytime.

Cons:
None!
Absolutely would recommend this rifle to anyone from novice, all the way to pros.
This gun is a one stop shop for anyone looking for an M40a3 body style, and not having to break the bank either!

The Cyma M700-U upgraded version is a beast with a lot of power.
It maybe be a little heavy after a bit of playing on the field. But if you don´t run around all the time you be fine.
Pulling the bolt back is little hard but thats because of the strong spring inside. It wil get better over time.

Currently have no issues, made out of good polymer. Can hit a head sized target at around 80m with no issues. The hopup can be hard to adjust, but it can be adjusted extreamly precisely to your needs.

If you want a M40A3 replica without wanting trouble of upgrading it yourself this is absolutely the right choice and if you do decide in the future to upgrade it you can easily.
Out of the box it shoots perfectly when hop up is adjusted and shoots at the said fps ( ask around what your field limits are, 570fps version might be too much for some fields).
Build quality is pretty solid, polymer body and a metal barrel, generally very durable replica. Didn't have any trouble putting my optic and sling on.
I couldn't be more happier with my replica, would recommend.
