Classic Army M24 LTR Gen 2 Bolt Action Sniper Rifle

If you want to try your luck at becoming the squad's sharpshooter, the Classic Army M24 LTR Bolt Action Sniper Rifle is an excellent and affordable option! It has a full metal construction, but thankfully for this platform, this means only the outer barrel is metal, and the chassis is constructed from lightweight polymer.

The M24 is based on the Remington Model 700 in its "long action" form, and as such, the receiver is much bigger than that of comparable bolt-action sniper rifles like the VSR-10, which is based on the "short action" version of the M700. This gives the M24 far more presence in the hands than a VSR-10, and is ideal for those who want a more realistic sniping experience.

The M24 LTR Gen 2 weighs about 2.5KG, which is 30% less than the original Classic Army M24. This makes it a great introduction to sniping in Airsoft or an excellent backup platform if you're dedicated to the sniper role, but your arms are tired (we totally get it).

The outer barrel of the M24 LTR Gen 2 measures a lengthy 21 inches, giving you a respectable 490mm of inner barrel for increased range and accuracy; exactly what you want from a sniper rifle. It has a sporty fluted design, which, in real steel, makes the barrel cool faster after every shot. This obviously doesn't apply to Airsoft, but it definitely adds a clean aesthetic to the build!

Following the outer barrel rearwards, we come to the chassis/stock of the rifle, which is constructed from tough high-density polymer with a "bubble" texture effect to improve handling qualities. On the bottom of the chassis, we have a lug with a steel sling loop pre-installed, followed by a Harris-style bipod/sling stud, ready for a Harris-style bipod to be fitted. The front sling point can be paired with the rear sling point on the stock to mount a two-point sling; an especially useful addition if you run your sniper rifle with a sidearm.

Just behind the sling points, we come to the magazine well, which is located in a similar position to that of the VSR-10 sniper rifle, though the M24 uses its own internal system. The magazine catch is built into the front of the magazine itself, making it centrally positioned, which is ideal for left or right-handed snipers. Compatibility-wise, the Classic Army M24 LTR Gen 2 Bolt Action Sniper Rifle should accept M24 magazines from Classic Army, CYMA and Snow Wolf. To the rear of the magazine well, we also have a realistic mock magazine, mimicking the real M24 perfectly.

Next up, we reach the receiver, which is constructed from alloy, matching the metal-to-polymer proportions of the real M24 perfectly. Up top, we have a 20mm Picatinny scope rail, ready for your choice of riflescope to be mounted. The rail also has a cutout in the centre, intended to allow spent cases to clear the action in the real thing.

The bolt handle is located on the right side of the rifle and is an extended design with a textured tip for optimal grip. To cock the M24, you will need to lift the bolt, pull it rearward until it locks, push it back forward and rotate it back into place, just like a real bolt-action sniper rifle. The bolt assembly is constructed from alloy and is relatively easy to action compared to most sniper rifles.

The trigger is housed inside the alloy trigger guard assembly and is the standard curved sniper rifle trigger designed to encourage proper finger placement. The trigger pull is nice and short, making it easy to take those accurate long-range shots, and the trigger guard is spacious enough to allow all but the thickest gloves to be used.

Behind the trigger guard, we come to what is known as a "Semi-pistol-grip", the traditional gripping location for bolt-action rifles. The grip is set at a comfortable angle for shooting both prone and standing, and the bubble texture finish of the stock aids grip so you can keep the rifle firmly in your hands, with or without gloves. The grip of the M24 is wider than comparable VSR-10 grips, making it extra comfortable when shooting from the prone position, the most effective shooting position for snipers.

The stock itself is a fixed stock patterned after that of the real steel Remington R700 sporting rifle, doing away with the M24's usual adjustment mechanism in favour of a more lightweight stock to promote agility. The polymer used for the stock is of superb quality, as we would expect for Classic Army, and the butt plate is made from grippy rubber so you can keep the M24 under control as you work the bolt.

So if you're a fan of the sporty style and want to experience some Airsoft sniping, the Classic Army M24 LTR Gen 2 Bolt Action Sniper Rifle is an excellent choice! This rifle has the aesthetics of an expensive hunting platform or competition rifle, just mount a big old scope on it!
