Things I liked:

Fun factor is high. Looks great and easy to cock.

Things I would have changed:

Have the trigger adjusted to about 75% less than the current 10 mile road march in the mud. Have an access port for the screw in front of the trigger so that the trigger pull can be adjusted.

What others should know:

Now that I have figured out how to adjust the trigger, this is a little tack driver. To adjust the trigger. There're 2 screws. 1 in front of the trigger and 1 behind the trigger. The screw in the front is for the, wait for it, the 10 mile road march in the mud trigger pull. Some people call it military slack. Definitely messes with you accuracy. Now this front trigger has no access so you have to drill a hole in the trigger guard in order to get to the screw. Now this will probably void your warranty, you can thank me later. Once you have access to the front screw, start tightening it, that's clock wise, tighten the screw a little at a time until the gun will no longer cock. Then back it out about half a turn or until it cocks. You will be impressed with the new found accuracy. Backing out the rear trigger reduces the poundage of your trigger or the amount of pressure you apply to the trigger with your finger to make it go bang. Shooting cans now at 80 yards.

Avoid barra at all cost!

They took my money and cancelled my order and then tried to gas light me by claiming I cancelled the order. I bought a ruger max impact instead and it has turned out to be a much higher quality rifle. Get a ruger or stoegar instead don't waste your time with barra.

    Not a hunters choice

    When I got this gun I was really excited to shoot it. Everything on it was pretty cool, the Scope was a little cheap but for plinking, it was perfect. Everything was great until I shot it. It wouldn't group at all at 20 yards. It shot like a 2 to 3 inch group. If you want something to shoot close range and just plink, it's perfect, but if you want to hunt with it, it may not be accurate enough...

    Things I liked:

    Aesthetically it's certainly has a very tactical look. It definitely needs a scope mount on it (I went with a Pinty 4-in-1 Rifle Scope Combo to round out the tactical look and function). As other reviewers indicated, it's a hard hitting rifle and packs a punch -- especially for the price. Every rifle has it's own preferred diet of pellet brand and weight. I went through about 6 different brands and types until I found what this gun likes and they are H&N 16.36grain .22 Terminator Pellets and H&N 16.2grain .22 Hornet Pellets. The fact there is only a 0.16grain difference between the two different rounds means you can zero-in with one and interchange with the other without re-calibrating scopes and remain deadly accurate! I'm pleasantly surprised in by this break barrel and it's performance. 1st week in and 5 kill shots at 15 yards protecting my wife's bird-feeder from thieving squirrels-- which has saved me $32 in bird feed on the first week.

    Things I would have changed:

    The bipod is a great stabilizer and this gun is heavy so it's useful but the stock bipod is really flimsy and poor quality. Your better off upgrading to something like a UTG Recon 360 TL Bipod. Either way, the bipod gets in the way when breaking the barrel and you have to find some uncomfortable angles to prevent catching your sleeve or wrist on the bipod legs .I also don't like non-functional accessories so the "Faux" bolt action just cheapens the design and I would get rid of it if I were the manufacturer.

    What others should know:

    For the price and power, it's well worth the purchase even if it's just an addition to your collection as a tactical piece. But if your looking for a cost effective short range and accurate pest control option, this rifle has you covered!

    Black Ops Sniper S

    This gun is very nice. Hard hitting and accurate. I have already broken it in and it really does live up to its billing. I would definitely recommend it to folks who are into becoming or already are good marksman.

  • Rating 5.05.0 5.0

    Take it out to the range

    A large and heavy weight .22 caliber Sniper "S" ,is also powerful and accurate. The rifle is outstanding with the power it delivers, and the accuracy is very good. From a distance this rifle certainly looks the part of a sniper rifle, until a closer inspection reveals it to be a break barrel rifle. Need to get out and target practice some more with this Sniper "S" rifle and revisit this review in the future.

    I like everything about the gun. It’s very similar to the 177 black ops sniper rifle I have and made a good addition to my collection.

    .177 and .22 "Sniper S" Air Rifles

    I purchased the .177 and .22 "Sniper S" Air Rifles. They are both Awesome, accurate and pack one heck of a punch. Very hard hitting air rifles.

    Straight out ready to do damage

    This Gun I must say is put together well and the firepower is fast accurate and powerful

    Sniper S22 cal.

    Great gun out of the box. But a noticeable loss of power after 100 "rounds" sent through the rifle.

  • Rating 5.05.0 5.0

    Over the top cool

    What a awesome air gun,the looks and feel are amazing and the quality is spot on, i love this gun! i can say everyone that sees it is like WOW. This is a big and heavy gun with a rifled barrel, and is very accurate, i get 1/2" to 1" groups at 200 feet,many go right in the same hole. Very heavy, very big, very badass looking.

  • Rating 1.01.0 1.0

    Don't buy it

    This was by far the cheapest made airgun I have ever seen being passed off as a serious product. I literally opened the box, looked at it, put it back in the box and contacted customer service for a return authorization.

  • Rating 5.05.0 5.0

    enormous power

    great pellet gun ,looks impressive, has enormous amount of power, only wish it was made in a larger size like .25 or .30

  • Rating 5.05.0 5.0

    The Sniper S .22 cal is EXCELLENT

    I've spent a few months with this rifle and it is hands down my favorite break barrel in my collection and believe me that's saying a lot.

    The build quality is top notch, made from a very solid polymer. One of the main features I love with this new updated model is the option for both a scope or open sights, both of which are included here.

    The accuracy is right on the money even out at 50+ yards. This is a hefty beast and will not be for the younger individuals.

    I honestly have nothing negative to say about this rifle, they hit this one right out of the park. EXCELLENT air rifle.

    Things I liked:

    Love the power of this rifle and it's accurate at 25 to 50 yards easily I'll give update with new scope cause I'm sure it's accurate at further yards

    Things I would have changed:

    Maybe stronger bipods and if you no how you can make the trigger much sharper to shoot with works out really well

    What others should know:

    I would recommend this rifle it has great power and looks great also so I would highly recommend for a break barrel

  • Rating 5.05.0 5.0

    Hard hitting

    I didn't bother with the scope it came with, the gun deserved better. Without any break in, I'm getting nickel sized groups at 25 yards, it should only get better from here. Squirrels beware.

    Things I liked:

    This rifle is powerful, as powerful as my Gamo Magnum, maybe a little more. Have not shot very many yet, but 50+ shots so far and I am pretty satisfied. Will have to take outdoors to really test it out- will update my results.

    Things I would have changed:

    I wish they could make this gun a multi shot gun-at least a five round mag, though loading a single pellet into the barrel of this gun is pretty darned easy.

    What others should know:

    The scope(much maligned in other reviews) is ok for me. It is not too grade, but it is good enough until I start shooting long distance. If it does not do the job, I will purchase another one. Any ideas on which scope would be better? I will take suggestions.

  • Rating 3.03.0 3.0

    The scope sucks

    If I could save this scope in or get one that was amazing for the gun I would give it five stars I can't even tell how accurate the gun is yet lol

    Things I liked:

    This is an absolute pleasure to shoot. It's sturdy and very well built.

    Things I would have changed:

    Change the side mount bi-pod legs. Second firing the left bracket fractured. I have ordered after market replacements. Bi-Pod is a must to handle the weight of this rifle.

    What others should know:

    Patience when cocking. It is a hard pull but, when shooting, you'll enjoy. It's powerful as one would expect from a .22 break barrell.

    Things I liked:

    This is well made rifle and, a great addition to any collection. Weight, length and overall size makes it an impressive piece. It is a powerful break barrell so, practice cocking.

    Things I would have changed:

    Make the bi-pod leg a little more sturdy. They mount tight But the legs themselves are a little rattle...After markets will fix this for now..

    What others should know:

    Airgunners today have the best airguns ever available. This is one of them...
