Novritsch SSX10 HPA Sniper

I did search but nothing came up about this. It looks like my dream sniper rifle; small, light, easy cocking, quiet.

I know many people dislike Novritsch, but if this lives up to the hype it could be a lot of fun.

Interesting. Although I think it's a bit of a piss take to sell a rifle without a stock and charge an extra €48 for one. Who uses a DMR without a stock?

Also the fact that it can be run on green gas, but to do so you'll need to buy a conversion kit separately that isn't even out yet. But yeah, no stock on a sniper rifle is egregious...

Entirely not my cup of tea though. Looks like a toy, probably feels like a toy with how light it is.

Coming without an optic is pretty standard but without a stock is crazy. It's wild that they advertise it as using "Picatinny stock attachments!" like leaving the stock out of the package is a feature rather than them just robbing you for another 48 euro if you want a stock because who wouldn't?

It's an all in one package entry to HPA sniping with relatively decent performance OOTB. Given the pre-order notice on the product page, there's a decent market for it or the first production batch was REALLY small. Is it cool and pretty unique? Sure. Am I going to throw 500 euro at it? Nope.

The 2nd hand sniper market is pretty strong for buyers these days and I see lots of upgraded rifles selling for way below what i'd expect - hell it's how I got both of mine.

Click to shrink...

It's like saying here's a M4 but you'll need to buy a separate pistol grip.

I had a stock on the shelf, so I didn’t care. But yeah, it’s a bit mean.

Looking forward to it arriving. Will update with a review after I’ve used it in a game or two.

Ok. It’s the best rifle I own. For the money, it is amazing. It outperforms my Tac-41, and is just as good as my Airsmiths built Wolverine 308. It’s tiny, light, easy to carry, easy to use, hops well. I’m running .45 at 120psi (ish) and my consistency is wildly good, I thought my chrono was broken. Shot after shot goes exactly where I want.

Honestly, I know people hate on Novritsch but this thing is wild.
