ASGC: Socom Gear Cheytac Licensed M200 Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle

[Jaybee]

Holy Crap, this has popped up on ASGC:
Socom Gear Cheytac Licensed M200 Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle..
All for a cool $2,069.00! 

Description:
The Cheytac M200 Intervention rifle by SOCOM Gear is fully licensed and the only 1:1 scale replica in the airsoft market. Much like its real counterpart this rifle is second to none. Often imitated but never duplicated.

The real Cheytac M200 is a bolt action .408 caliber long range sniper rifle. Although smaller than a .50 caliber round the .408 does in fact have more long range kinetic energy vs. the .50 caliber round making it a much more devastating platform for longer distance shots. Combined with Cheytac’s world famous ballistics calculator and software the M200 delivers an unmatched weapons platform for both superior power and accuracy at distances beyond a mile.

The SOCOM Gear M200 follows the real Cheytac closely featuring a full metal design combined with both steel and aluminum parts. This rifle is not for the light hearted, tipping the scales at 17lbs (unloaded and without scope) this rifle is for serious players only. This version however is not .408 caliber but instead powered by green gas (or propane) and uses the 8mm caliber round (bb) as it’s projectile. The steel magazine has a 7 round capacity and uses .408 caliber size dummy rounds. Each .408 dummy round holds one 8mm round in the tip. Just like the real thing, SOCOM Gear M200 is a bolt action rifle, fire a round, cycle the bolt, and chamber another round. Each time that the bolt is cycled the dummy .408 cartridge is ejected.

Gay they make a 7 round magazine and supply you with 5 rounds for 2 Grand. I love the idea of the gun, but with a 7 round max and ejecting shells with a hefty $69 per set of five for replacement shells this is gonna suck to use. plus a spare mag is $179 (I ititially thought the gas is loaded via the mag, but it isnt...its just really expensive).

[Jaybee]

True! Hefty price tag for f-all action then? It's like the lap dance of airsoft rifles.
Yeah the shell ejecting would be a pain in the arse I reckon.
Looks good though.
