Ares MSR303 Bolt Action Airsoft Sniper Rifle with Case in Dark Earth
If you’re after a sniper rifle that doesn’t just look serious but performs like a true long-range tool, the Ares MSR303 in Dark Earth is your new sidekick. Designed as a modular bolt-action airsoft sniper rifle built around the ARES Striker system, this rifle isn’t just a field-ready performer—it’s a statement of intent. Whether you're laying low for that perfect shot or covering angles for your squad, the MSR303 has your back with rock-solid consistency and serious firepower.
At the heart of this rifle is a spring-powered bolt-action system that gives you the kind of clean, no-nonsense cycling that precision shooters live for. Each pull of the bolt feels deliberate, and each shot counts. Shooting around 400 to 425 FPS out of the box with 0.20g BBs, it’s got enough punch to reach out and touch distant targets without running afoul of field limits. Perfect for woodland, urban overwatch, or sneaky recon roles.
Construction-wise, this thing is a beast. The CNC-machined 6063 aluminum receiver and carbon-fiber outer barrel bring a premium feel and robust durability without tipping the scale into “why-did-I-bring-this” territory. It's tough but smartly weighted, coming in at around 4.7kg—solid in hand, but manageable across longer games. And that fluted barrel? It's not just for looks—it trims weight and adds a modern edge.
One of the highlights has to be the folding, adjustable stock. Whether you're transporting the rifle or tucking into a tight firing position, the ability to collapse it down to 810mm makes all the difference. Extended, it reaches up to 1145mm, giving you a full, stable platform. You also get an adjustable cheek rest and rubber butt pad to fine-tune your comfort—so it’s dialled in to your setup whether you're running optics high or low.
The MSR303 ships in a custom hard rifle case, molded to fit perfectly and protect the rifle during transport. Tool-less assembly keeps things easy when you're on the go—no fiddling in the field or wasting time setting up. And yes, the hop-up is fully adjustable, so you can tune your trajectory to match BB weight and wind conditions with zero drama.
For customization junkies, this thing is a playground. It sports a full-length 20mm Picatinny top rail and modular M-LOK handguard, giving you real estate for everything from scopes and bipods to lasers and PEQ boxes. The 45-round direct-feed magazine is steel-cased and designed for reliable feeding—no winding wheels or misfeeds here. Just straight performance.
And here’s the kicker—it’s compatible with ARES’s CPSB CO₂ upgrade system. If you fancy upgrading to CO₂ for gas-style recoil and a new level of immersion, this rifle is ready. You don’t lose any of the rifle’s modular character—just gain another way to enjoy it. Spring or CO₂, this rifle adapts to how you play.
Bottom line: the Ares MSR303 is built for airsofters who take sniping seriously. It’s got the engineering, the feel, and the features to make every shot a calculated decision—and it comes ready to roll with a hard case, magazine, and all the trimmings. For those who refuse to compromise, it’s everything you want in a precision platform.
