Nuprol T-96 Tango Spring Sniper Rifle

The Nuprol T-96 (Tango Series) is one of the best ways to get into airsoft sniping without spending a fortune. It's a spring-powered bolt-action rifle that comes as a complete kit, with the rifle, a 4x32 scope and mounts, a bipod and two magazines, so you can turn up to your first sniper game with everything you need.

It's deliberately lightweight at around 850g, which makes it easy to carry and quick to handle for newer players, and the bolt-action operation means there's no battery or gas to worry about. Out of the box it shoots around 400 FPS with an adjustable hop-up to dial in range.

The T-96 is based on the well-known Type 96 platform, which has a healthy aftermarket if you later want to upgrade the spring, barrel or hop-up. That gives you an affordable starting point that can grow with you as your sniping develops.

With twin spring-fed magazines (around 28 rounds each) and a speedloader in the box, you're set up for a full game from the start. It's the classic recommendation for a first marksman rifle on a budget.

What's on the outside

It has a retractable stock bringing it to around 985mm collapsed, a 20mm rail carrying the included 4x32 scope, and a front-mounted bipod. The hop-up adjusts under the chassis.

Specifications

Good to know before you buy

As an entry-level package it's about value and completeness rather than out-of-the-box precision, but it's a superb base to learn on and upgrade. Heavier BBs and a hop tune sharpen it up considerably.
