Specna Arms CORE S-03 (M40A3) RIS Sniper Bundle (BK) | FREE Delivery over €50 (ROI)

Sniper rifles are one of the coolest weapon types around, and are incredibly popular thanks to their use in film, TV, and of course, video games. A mainstay due to their accuracy and performance, although the trade off is fewer rounds, and slow fire rate. But this is airsoft, and since it's predominantly about looks, we can leave practicality at the door.

An airsoft sniper rifle will shoot the same distance as an assault rifle, however it is typically quieter, more consistent, and most important of all, it's a sniper rifle. That may sound redundant, however the overall look of what you choose to use is key. Internally they are all much the same - you have a sear that latches the piston, and you're doing the majority of work with the bolt action (pulling the bolt to the rear cocks the piston, and pushing it forward loads a BB). Due to the relative lack of moving parts, they are significantly quieter than electric or gas powered rifles.

The spring power, or manually cocking nature, of the rifle means there are no batteries to charge, nor any gas to run out of - your rifle is ready to use when you are. Simply load the magazine up with BB's, and you're good to go. The maximum distance a BB can travel is typically 50 meters, however for man-sized targets, you'll usually be around the 20-30 meter mark. These rifles are ideal for target shooting out the back garden, or if you're set on a different style of play, for airsoft sniping.

Sniping in airsoft is a completely different pace - since you won't have additional range, it is generally about getting into a good position, staying hidden, taking your shots, and moving on before you're discovered. Field craft is essential. You have the edge on silence, and with a good secondary, if you're getting overrun, you can make your last stand with pride.

Specna Arms are one of the most dominant brands on the airsoft market, coming out of nowhere to completely take over, offering superior performance, better value, and unbelievable quality at an affordable price. Perhaps better than any other, Specna Arms have dedicated tiers covering each price point, with massive variety of models at each level - FLEX is their entry level sportsline series, where you have high quality internals paired with fibre reinforced nylon externals, CORE are their mid-level range with more metal components on externals (e.g. handguard/rail kits), and EDGE are their high end full metal replicas with higher quality internals. And that's just the guns!

Specna Arms also produce a massive range of accessories from magazines to batteries, tactical gear, and much more. All of their products have a focus on airsoft, and airsofters, making them optimised for the skirmish field. It is hard to beat them for sheer quality, especially when you factor in their price. Virtually all of their guns have quick spring change systems, with steel gears and 6.03mm tightbore barrels out of the box, and since you can get virtually every part for them, you can tweak and customise to your heart's content, and create something unique to you. It's no surprise that they are one of the most often recommended, and most beloved airsoft manufacturers.

Bolt action rifles are a staple of the airsoft world, made popular from TV, Film, and Video Games - everyone wants to be a sniper! To do that, you'll need a sniper rifle, and that's where the Specna Arms S03 comes in.

Manufactured by Specna Arms, this modern precision rifle is based on the M40A3, and has a composite body, designed carefully with ergonomics in mind. It has an integrated adjustable cheek piece, adjustable stock (via removable spacers), and QD sling mounds on the body. Above the outer barrel you have a RIS/RAS rail for accessories, as well as the top rail for optics (for the included sniper scope). On the bottom of the rifle you have a swivel stud bipod mount, ideal for attaching the included bipod.

This bolt action rifle is spring powered, and manually cocking. When you pull the bolt back you're cocking the piston, and when you push it forward you're loading a BB. In other words there are no batteries to charge, or gas to run out of - your rifle is ready when you are. The upper is constructed out of metal, making this rifle feel extremely realistic. One of the stand out features of the S03 is the external magazine, which gives this piece a more impressive presence, and greater overall aesthetic.

In the box you get the S03 Bolt Action Rifle, and 3x magazines, sniper scope, and bipod, keeping you in the game for longer. We recommend using a speed loader for the magazines (sold separately)
