Voted average.

I don't really like the look of it, but that's just me. The sound however is absolutely horrifying. It's nowhere near realistic and even reminds me of a rocket-propelled grenade.

Rated good. Access to all Anschutz scopes. Easy to handle and works with all species without issues. Booring design and the sound is not that crisp but certainly good enough always so rated good.

This is 1 of the Rifles I received for the 2013 hunter disc I bought.
And have used it extensively for it's under-rated power for the 8x57 cartridge.
It is not as accurate as I would like at longer ranges so the lung area is the suggested target on bigger game.

I give it the highest mark, it's served me well and between the two (.308) I'll take this one. The .308 isn't what it was and the 8mm has just impressed me, especially when you had to use it for bears in Davids shoot em all comp- that experience shooting it for a month changed my impressions on several weapons and this was one of the few that was for the better. I dig the orange camo personally, would I buy a real one like it? #$^& no but that's beside the point :D

I call this rifle LASER CANNON, was my favorite companion after 7mm show up.

Something happened on ballistic or some of the updates, when i bought this one, the precision and stopping power where like the .300, all my first Brown Bears where hunted with this rifle, but then from Laser cannon after some updates (MP) my loyal and unbeatable 8x57 where no more precise and stopping power less than 30-06 so I miss the 8x57 i bought before MP.

For my now this is my favorite rifles
1) 7mm 2) 8x57 3) .300 4) R8 Blaser 5) 30-06

If the R8 Blaser ever launched in 8x57 or .300 that will be my favorite weapon

Worst looking rifle in the game by far.

Looks like someone has just taken the exact same model from the Anschütz line (which they have) and just copy pasted some texture from the game and made it a orange background in photoshop or something.

Very basic and Very poorly done rifle.
Would of rated very poor but it does shoot well with it's power so I rated Poor.
I have over 1337 kills with my Longbow at 100% kill rate.

rated excellent imo this gun has it all
extremely powerful even a body shot on a wt will die before running even 70m
accurate enough for shots out to render distance
5 rnd mag and a quick reload time
and while some ppl might disagree I think the rifle looks great
