KJWorks M700 Take Down Gas Airsoft Sniper Rifle Table Top Review

No Comments

Type: Airsoft Rifle
Manufacturer: KJWorks
Model: M700 Take Down
Materials: Metal with textured synthetic stock
Weight: 7.5 pounds (3415 grams)
Barrel: Smooth bore barrel
Propulsion: Gas operated (Green Gas or Propane)
Action: Bolt
Ammunition Type: 6mm plastic Airsoft BB’s
Ammunition Capacity: 10–11 round metal magazine
FPS: Up to 450 FPS

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.

SHOT Show 2017 Crosman Interview

No Comments

Enjoy my latest SHOT Show Interview with Jesse Caster from Crosman. Jesse shows me Crosman’s latest old west single action revolver, the Remington 1875 which shares a lot with the super popular Colt Single Action Army revolvers. Jesse also goes over some new airgun pistols with me, a CO2 powered non blowback 1 to 1 replica of the Remington RP45, a very interesting single shot spring piston “Glock-ish looking pistol called the PSM45. And last but not least, Crosman has now got on the Beretta / Taurus bandwagon and added the PFAM98 to their lineup.

Crosman’s new Remington 1875 should be a welcome addition for anyone looking to add something new to their Old West Airgun lineup. The Crosman Remington 1875 like the Colt Single Action Army Revolver is shell loading, shoots in single action only and has that super slick ratcheting cylinder we all love. The Crosman Remington 1875 shoots both .177 caliber pellets and 4.5 mm steel BB’s from its smooth bore barrel, but Jesse has gone on record to claim that the pellets work well and shoots pellets and BB’s accurately at ranges typical for this type of Airgun.

Another Remington Licensed Airgun from Crosman this year is the Remington PR45. The PR45 is a 1 to 1 replica of the real steal Remington RP45 but in a CO2 non-blowback 4.5mm BB shooting version. The Crosman PR45 has a metal slide and polymer frame with a drop out all metal stick magazine. Some other notable features for the Crosman PR45 are a working trigger safety and white dot sights front and back.

If you are looking for something a little different from Crosman this year then checkout the single shot spring piston PSM45. This super affordable air pistol kind of looks "similar" to a Glock and lord knows how many times I get asked what is available in an airgun that resembles a Glock. The Crosman PSM45 is not going to win any fps awards (shoots around 200 fps), but there is no need to buy any CO2 and you can shoot this airgun in virtually any temperature for only the cost of steel BB’s. The frame and slide on the Crosman PSM45 are plastic but it does have decent weight do some internal metal parts and an unexpected full metal full size drop out magazine.

Crosman this year is adding a Beretta/Taurus full metal and full blowback CO2 BB Pistol to their product lineup. You may have already guessed it, it’s essentially a KWC Beretta / Taurus which really isn’t a bad thing since the KWC Blowback Beretta / Taurus has been very popular with replica airguners. A nice little treat with the Crosman PFAM98 Beretta / Taurus is that right out of the box it shoots in both semi and full auto using the ambidextrous selector safety switch.
