Beatifull. Well built. Accurate. Powerful.

Noise level. Upgrade scope. Better trigger. Lighter weight.

Easy to add AR15 iron sights by installing a scope rail adapter to the muzzle brake.

Definitely has the cool factor. Plenty of power. Seems to have the 'potential' for accuracy, but it will test your shooting technique.

Barrel came exceptionally dirty. I spent at least an hour running patches through it before they were only coming out light orange...not sure if this was dried grease residue or light rust. After thorough cleaning, rifling now looks sharp and bright. Long, springy, heavy trigger pull. The WORST I have experienced in many guns of this type. Picatinny rail for the scope mount is coated with thin layer of rubberized plastic - better if this was just metal. With scope mounted, the rail and it seems the whole plastic body of the receiver flexes. I have not found a way to tighten this. That can't be great for accuracy. The bipod is heavy (all metal) and is quite wobbly. This is a fairly long and heavy rifle and to definitely takes effort to cock. The "suppressor" is for looks only and does not appear to be removable. This rifle is loud and it would benefit from a functional suppressor.

I find the long, heavy, springy trigger pull to really take some work to get used to. I am a huge believer in the value of a good trigger and good optics and this trigger is just ridiculous. Had I known about the trigger, I would not have bought this rifle.

Also, I'm having trouble getting this one to settle down and be consistent despite my best efforts. I've got a couple hundred shots through it of at least 5 different pellet types (JSB, H&N) ranging in weight from 14gr to 21 gr. In 7-10 multi-shot strings at 35 yards, I can get many to stay in a 3/4" to 1" group, but there are always several fliers that are 3/4" to 1" away from the main shot cluster. Artillery hold, bipod, no bipod, etc. and I'm still hoping to find the right trick.

Great looking gun! Powerful! Solid and well put together Scope is well made, quite clear but no magnification Excellent value

Make it a real silencer - this is one LOUD gun! It's taking a while to get it sighted in. Not sure if it's the gun, the scope or me... or the gun just needs to settle in. Lose the white Black Ops logos.

You'll need to clean it and lube it and clean it again. Then the dieseling will make the thing sound like a firearm for about 15 shots. Then clean it again.
Not for the faint of heart - this thing has a sound and recoil you need to be ready for.
I bought the old spring .177 version refurbed from the manufacturer. I understand the new gas versions have more power... but the build quality and materials are lower - and do not have the butt length adjustment mine has - which is needed for a bipod mounted sniper weapon. Trust me, the springer has more than enough power. Holy cow, this shoots like a 22LR.

Awesome rifle

Like the scope

Keep up the good business

Very accurate, incredibly powerful.

The included scope is grossly under powered.

Like the others have said, this is no toy. I have destroyed a metal catch at 50 yards using 10gr pellets. It can be a bear to cock at first. It is also deceptively heavy. The included stands do a good job balancing the weight.

This was my first rifle and I do enjoy it but I should have done a little more research for what I was looking at doing.

This was a no brainer great feel and looks and suprisingly powerful.

Nothing

Do not dry fire and make sure you have a back stop.

Shoots well. What I expected for the price point. Well balanced.

Upgrade the scope

This is not a toy. Will take more than your eye out!

This rifle I found to be extremely well made for the money. The break barrel is manageable wth one hand for cocking and the recoil is absorbed very well due to the design. Indeed this is a tack driver and after chronographing I found the advertised FPS is very close to specification. Adjustments can be made for optimum comfort for any shooter. The scope took a bit bit of time to properly sight in. But at 25 yards I was grouping one on top of the other. I rate this a solid 5 stars across the board.

Realistically for the money, I would not change a thing.

This is not a toy and is extremely powerful. Please use caution when handling. Specifically when cocking the pellet gun and inserting pellets. keep a firm grip on the barell to avoid it from closing on your finger.
"Thanks Pyramyd Air for another great product!"

Just as previous posts, value for the money. Once zeroed with different scope, plugging silver dollar size bulls @ 30 yards! Should do just fine in the woods.

Scope

Not a toy! This is a workhorse that should last a long time, if taken care of regularly.

The trigger pull i very good. Overall set up is quite easy.

The scope could be a little better. This criticism is not restricted to this gun. Why don't scope manufacturers engrave a line up the middle of the scope tube and a matching mark on the scope rings to help alignment. In this particular rifle, although the bolt handle is not real, there out to be an option to place it on the left side. There should be an option for sling swivels. These are all very minor things.

Absolutely, this is not a toy. I plan to use it for small game hunting. I am more than pleased with the product.

I like that it holds up as well with shooting as to the .177 Cal version. The gun is great the only down side is the scope But do to the price and the gun it is a great setup. If you buy a good scope for this it is a very deadly gun. I was able to setup a target to day at 35 yards and shot 5 .22 Cal pellets the H&N Crow Magnum .22 Cal, 18.21 Grains, Hollowpoint, 200ct, 5.5 mm This gun did well with them with a group of 5 shots within a quarter size group. that is nice to see.

I feel there isn't anything to change. I would like to see this in a PCP setup with the capability of the bolt being used to load the Pellets that would be nice to see. But for the price it is a great deal so for a low price i wouldn't change a thing.

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT THIS IS NOT A TOY AND IF A CHILD IS USING IT PLEASE PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE WITH YOU THAT KNOWS ABOUT SAFETY PLEASE THIS GUN WILL KILL!!!!!!!!!!! IF IT IS NOT USED IN A PROPER SAFEWAY.

I need to say first that I do own the Black Ops Sniper Air Rifle Combo .177 Cal. I seen that this now comes in the .22cal. I have owned both the
spring and I own the Black Ops Tactical Sniper Power Piston Pellet Gun combo .177 Cal. The spring version is bad i was always off target and the recall was bad. I am glad they made the NEW power piston ones they are great. I JUST BOUGHT Black Ops Tactical Sniper Air Rifle Combo .22Cal for my birthday I ordered it on Sep 5 2016 and it just got to me on Sep 8 2016 came to me at 3pm took it out and sighted in the scope and the gun was roght on after about 6 shoots.

I have bought a couple of airguns in the past which were twice the money. I can't say enough on how well made, accurate and cool this gun looks. You just can't beat it for the money. The scope that it comes with is alright for the time being. I would recommend you upgrade the scope. Other than that this gun for the money is a beast...

Maybe adjustable stock. The scope has got to go.

For 160.00 you will love it...

This in the .22 package is by far the best break barrel air rifle I have ever owned. I unboxed it extremely pleased took one look through the scope jumped in my car went straight to local gun store and bought a 3x9 x 50 scope. It took less than 12 shots to pin point accuracy at 30 yards. I'm talking dime sized groups. The trigger is better than the crosman trigger, but the crosman trigger has never been an issue for me. As far as what I liked Everything absolutely everything but the scope. If for those who money is hard to come by the scope will work just fine. The bipod is cool and works just fine, The things I liked The looks the feel Really though the power and accuracy. BUy this this gun before they realise they can get A LOT more for it.

The only thing I did change the scope, it never even got mounted on my gun it sits in its lonely drawer with the center points and swiss arms scopes and a few gamo scopes So I guess its not lonely at all it has plenty of friends. I does not have a place for this rifle. Will the scope work. Yes it will but a gun of this caliber deserves a scope that would put the pellet Exactly where you want it.

BUY THIS GUN NOW!!!! Or wait until they raise the price, Either way buy this gun you will absolutely love it.

Accuracy, power, weight, rail mounted bipod

Nothing

It's in the description, but there are no iron sights

Solid gun, a bit heavy but works great with the bi-pods. Quite accurate.

The scope.

the scope mount and rails and the bi-pod rails work loose quickly. A little lock-tight will help.

looks, power, accuracy, power piston .22 cal 1000 fps did chrony with rws hyper velocity pellets 701.9 fps 744.7fps 671.9 fps then a 1,215 fps in .22 cal dieseling loud crack and smoke my bad I sprayed some silicone in the chamber ,high quality built this thing looks very real in .22 cal hard to beat very affordable best .22 break barrel very awesome rifle proud to own this tactical beast !

The scope

If you want power accuracy tactical looking rifle this sniper gun is for You now in .22 cal power piston best gun on the market for money !

It seems to have pretty good power, I am using a heavy pellet which helps the accuracy also.... looks pretty cool! and it is a military platform in a .22 with a reasonable price tag

rather cumbersome, if you are small it is probably not for you.... cocks hard..... Scope definitely needs to be better, the picatiny rail should have been metal.

I bought it because I wanted a reasonably priced military style platform air rifle in .22 If you are buying this in .177 then I highly recommend the crossman mtr77np, a far better gun. I wish the mtr came in .22

Good looking rifle. Fun to shoot. Very accurate. Hard hitting.

Make the bi-pod legs a little less wobbly and add an adjustable trigger. The scope is adequate but I'd recommend buying a better one.

Buy one now before they realize how much of a value this gun is!

Accurate and powerful.

Nothing

Very fun to shoot prolly my favorite air rifle so far.

Everything but the scope. This would be a great value without a scope. Just got it yesterday and mounted another 3X9 scope I had. After an initial cleaning I started sighting it in. Within 10 shots I was grouping 1 inch at 25 yards using the PCP Diabalo Heavy pellets. As others have stayed this is a fantastic value. Aside from the scope issue it has an awful trigger, heavy, scratchy, very long pull. Its heavily built Its not nearly as loud as I expected. The report,is more of a mechanical sound than a bang or report.

Scope, maybe iron sights, trigger pull.

Fantastic value.
