Nuprol T96 Tango Series Airsoft Bolt Action Sniper Rifle – Desert Tan
Ready to step into the world of airsoft sniping without hauling a five-kilo beast across the field? The Nuprol T96 Tango Series sniper rifle in Desert Tan offers a sleek, beginner-friendly bolt action platform that’s light to carry but more than capable of holding its own at range. With a 400 FPS punch, adjustable hop-up, and an ergonomic design borrowed from M4-style rifles, the T96 gives new snipers the tools to perform — right out of the box.
This rifle is spring-powered and bolt action, but with a twist — the semi-straight pull bolt means it’s faster and smoother to cycle than your typical long-throw sniper. That makes follow-up shots quicker, which can be a big advantage in woodland or urban settings where opportunities don’t wait around. The bolt’s feel is crisp and light enough for rapid use without sacrificing power.
Construction-wise, the T96 strikes a smart balance. The stock and lower receiver are made from high-strength polymer to keep weight down — just under 1.9kg — while the inner barrel, receiver core, and internals are alloy, giving it enough structural strength for consistent accuracy and durability. It’s finished in a two-tone Desert Tan colour scheme that breaks up the silhouette and looks the part for any tactical or field loadout.
The rifle features a retractable M4-style six-position stock and a textured pistol grip, which is a huge bonus if you're already used to AEGs. It’s intuitive, easy to shoulder, and adjusts quickly to fit your frame or play style. The 20mm RIS rail on top comes pre-mounted with a 4x32 scope and rings, and there's a solid bipod mounted on the front lug — so there’s no need to shop for extras. It’s truly plug-and-play right from the box.
On the firing line, you’re looking at approximately 400 FPS on 0.20g BBs (±10%), but for serious sniping, it’s best paired with heavier ammo — 0.30g to 0.40g — where the rifle’s hop-up system really shines. The adjustable hop-up is accessed beneath the chassis, in front of the mag well, and is tuned with the included Allen key. It’s easy to adjust mid-game, and once dialled in, offers excellent range and stability for a bolt-action platform in this price bracket.
You get two spring-fed magazines in the box (around 28 rounds each), along with a speedloader to top them up fast between engagements. Reloads are quick, and the mags sit snug with no rattle. A toggle safety and rear sling loop round out the key features, giving you safe, secure carry options on longer missions.
For anyone jumping into airsoft sniping or looking for a reliable secondary DMR-style option, the Tango T96 is a solid bet. Lightweight enough for mobility, accurate enough to keep heads down, and feature-packed with no faffing about — it’s ready to go straight from the box. Plus, with Nuprol’s growing support for aftermarket parts, you’ve got upgrade paths if you want to push it even further down the line.
