Full description

Description

The SV-98 or Snaiperskaya Vintovka Model 1998 is a bolt-action Sniper Rifle designed in 1998 by Vladimir Stonskiy, which has seen plenty of operation use especially in Chechnya. This rifle is lesser-seen in Airsoft Replica form, and is a welcome addition to Specna Arms' lineup of spectacular replicas.

This rifle works the same as most Bolt Action Spring Rifles in that you will receive two separate halves in the box which need assembling. It is a very simply case of placing the two halves together and securing it with the included body screws. This makes transport/storage of the replica incredibly easy, reducing the overall size by nearly 40cm. The included Carry Handle is very simple to install as well, needing only to be screwed into the side of the stock. 

The stock of the rifle is made from a tough 'NCore Reinforced Polymer' which makes the body of the rifle dense, tough and great feeling. The rear of this stock is fully adjustable to suit different users, and can be adjusted for length and angle, as well as adjusting the height of the cheek rest. The comfortable thumb-hole stock is very easy to get to grips with, and will feel like a natural extension of your body once you have adapted to the platform. 

The stock also features an adjustable Monopod, which provides The included sling can be connected to the stock via the front loops and ambidextrous rear loop on the stock. This makes the rifle much easier to carry around, and makes the use of a sidearm viable. The Upper Receiver features a 20mm Rail as you would expect, which allows you to mount any compatible 20mm Sights and Scopes.

Internally, the Specna Arms SV-98 is compatible with the TM AWS as standard, as well as AirsoftPro tuning parts, which means that there is a whole host of compatible aftermarket parts to upgrade your rifle to the next level. A smooth and coated Cylinder ensures that each cycle of the bolt is silky smooth, shooting much like the WELL MB-01 series.

Included in the box is a 65rnd Mid-Cap Magazine, Speedloader, Sling, Cleaning Rod and User Manual. If you're looking for a Bolt Action Spring Sniper Rifle which is different to the norm, but is still vastly compatible with aftermarket upgrades, then the Specna Arms SV-98 Core Sniper Rifle is just what you're looking for.

Special Instructions 

When assembling the SV-98 CORE™ Sniper Rifle it is important that the rearmost screw in the stock is not over tightened. We suggest tightening the screw until it is hand tight but not cranking it down as this can often cause damage to the cylinder and render the rifle inoperable.
