The long awaited and much anticipated review: the UTG Shadow Ops Sniper Ops Sniper Rifle. Its long awaited because it's taken me several months to put the review up here on the FA site. InjunJoe has done an exhaustive job (complete with tables) reviewing this airsoft sniper rifle and I think you'll agree its worth the wait.

ya i had injoe totaly soup my gun out shots like a champ just waiting for the last parts to be put in because bolt broke but before that gun was ten for ten at uperbody shots at 250 feet away not one miss i have put a ton of money into this gun and when it is done i am expecting the 250 foot shot to be no problems i also think that the three hundred foot shoot can be done if there is no wind because the 270 shoot was done at his house the other day at a very small dummy in a 15 to 20 mph wind but like i said this gun has a ton of money in it and really isnt a wells any more because everthing in it is the best that money can buy there will be few sniper rifles at any game that will out shot this gun that is for sure

I had a theory about bb weight and muzzle energy and this review proved it in the tables of data. kudos for that

Wow. Quite the review. Not just a "why this gun is cool" but an upgrade and long-term care manual as well. Great job!

I kind of knew what to expect from your previous posts about it. Nevertheless, you did a very good job, congrats.

Hey Injun Joe!! HOly SHit! thats one of the most thorough reviews I think we have here at FA ..GREAT JOB..Congrats on the Rank Bump ..come say Hi in the officers club!

Guys this is a great review , I have heard on the field and the net " I 've sent in a review or 2 and I havent heard anything"

1.Lance is really busy but he gets to all of them.

2.Sometimes the review though prob written well isnt exactly what should be in the review section.So if you want a guide Injun Joes review is excellent (Ive written 2 and his were much more in depth,but you also have to take in consideration of whats being reviewed .) My reviews were not as near in depth but they were of Prototype and Co2 Escorts..and Im not speaking for all the reviews ,just my own.

So if you dont see your review up there dont get bummed out .Look it over ,check for grammar ,update it with specs and remember what youre reviewing .If its the right stuff ,you never know ..

Keep them coming !

Panzer out!

Great review indeed. I met injun joe like three weeks ago, he s a really nice guy.
I have the same UTG I bought from a frind of mine's dad. The first thing I noticed was the hopup didnt do jack. I must of adjusted it a hundred times and only got it close to hitting a gatorade cooler a 100 feet away. Oh well I'll read a few more revews and get an idea of what to do. Its got a wal-mart scope but it seems to work. Dont know the fps. A little more practice and I hope to use it in the next immortality chapter.
I am new at airsoft and loving it. I'm slowly watchin the bank account go down but i havin to much fun. Really enjoy reading these reviews. See ya'll in the field!
