ASSESSMENT

First up is the Echo 1 M28 Counter Sniper rifle from Pyramyd Air. Amazing deal - click on the link to check out more info on this amazing airsoft gun: http://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/Echo_1_M28_Airsoft_Sniper_Rifle/2374?utm_source=CQB&utm_medium=Site&utm_campaign=M28

Here you can see the nice fluted outer barrel.



And the VERY nice Harris-style bipod that's included with the rifle.



Your bolt, chamber, and rail for optics.



And your stock - adjustable and, just like the rest of the gun, made with a super solid polymer. This is my FAVORITE sniper rifle that I've ever reviewed.
