Trigger Pull: The trigger on the KJWorks M700 Take Down Gas Airsoft Sniper Rifle performs as expected for a bolt-action style hunting or sniper rifle. Most of the work is done when operating the bolt, leaving your trigger finger with a light, short, and crisp pull to release the firing pin. This shlep a lot keeping everything steady since you can relax your grip adn really focus on your shot placement.
Accuracy: Be sure to watch my full Field Test Shooting Video for the KJWorks M700 Take Down Gas Airsoft Sniper Rifle to see its performance in detail. I only tested it indoors at my Sea Can range due to cold weather conditions, which aren’t ideal for gas guns. Shooting distance was limited to about 30 feet, but I plan to revisit this rifle outdoors in better weather for longer-range results. At 30 feet, the M700 produced a tight 1-inch grouping and averaged around 400 FPS using .25-gram Airsoft BB’s.
Note: I did encounter some magazine loading issues when fully loaded, BBs from the right side of the double-stack magazine occasionally jammed and didn’t feed properly into the breach.
Build Quality: The KJWorks M700 Take Down Gas Airsoft Sniper Rifle feels solid and well-made throughout. The fit and finish are good, and all the mechanical components functioned properly aside from the occasional BB feed issue. I like the textured synthetic stock and soft rubber butt pad. This rifle features a lot of metal construction, including the bolt, inner and outer barrel, magazine, sling and bipod mounts, trigger and guard, Picatinny rail, and safety. It feels robust and well-balanced overall.
Realism: The KJWorks M700 is modeled after the Remington 700 platform, giving it a very authentic hunting rifle look. The Airsoft version mimics the real firearm closely in both form and function. Since it’s powered by Green Gas rather than a spring, the bolt action is smooth, light, and realistic to operate. All the parts that would normally be metal or steel on the actual Remington M700 are also made out of Metal with the Airsoft version. The stock is also Fiber reinforced like the real stele version.
Pros:
Gas-operated bolt is far easier to cycle than a traditional spring-powered bolt rifle.
Heavy use of metal parts throughout.
Excellent balance and solid overall feel.
Take-down design makes it easy to transport and store.
Fiber-reinforced stock adds durability.
Metal sling and bipod mounts for customization.
Full-size drop-out metal magazine holds both gas and BBs.
Easy-to-adjust hop-up screw.
Ideal FPS for long-range shots without being overpowered.
Consistent accuracy, good 30-foot performance should translate well to longer distances.
Cons:
No sights or optics included, you’ll need to add your own.
Occasional magazine feeding issues, especially when fully loaded.
Slightly higher price compared to most spring-powered bolt-action Airsoft rifles.
Comments:
I’ve tested a few spring bolt-action Airsoft rifles before, and while those are simple (just load BBs and shoot), the gas-powered M700 offers a much smoother and faster bolt operation, perfect for quick follow-up shots. When seconds matter and targets are closing in, that speed can make a real difference.
The KJWorks M700 Take Down Gas Airsoft Sniper Rifle is a great ready-to-shoot platform out of the box and can be easily upgraded with a sling, bipod, and of course, a scope, since it comes without sights.
My review unit had a minor magazine issue, but I believe this was specific to the sample I received and not a widespread problem. Overall, it’s a very capable and well-built Airsoft sniper rifle that delivers solid power, realism, and usability.
