The Sig 550 Airsoft rifle is a great addition to the spring loaded lineup. Manufactured by CYMA, the Sig 550 Airsoft rifle has a full stock and a rather large capacity of 30 rounds. Additionally, it comes fully loaded with a non magnifying scope and a nice delivery speed of 270 fps. That said, the Sig 550 is a short range stock rifle--it only hits targets from 100 to 130 feet.
If you're looking for an all purpose spring rifle and you enjoy the action of the Sig 550, I recommend that you also check out the SD3 spring submachine gun. This splendid piece employs hop up technology and a retractable metal stock. As a facsimile of the notorious AK-47, the SD3 submachine gun makes a great present for true collectors and hobbyists.
The Effective and Steady Sig 550 Airsoft Rifle
Of course, the SD3 retails for almost twice as much as the Sig 550 Airsoft rifle. So if you looking to test the waters, I recommend you go with the Sig 550. That way, if you like the action and if you want to invest in the sport more significantly, you can expand your arsenal piece by piece. In addition to the AK-47 SD3 replica, check out the UHC MP5 and the spring Desert Eagle.
Over the course of your Airsoft hobby, you'll also want to examine both gas powered rifles and AEGs. Even if you don't have the money to purchase these more advanced weapons, you should really know what's out there, especially if you're considering entering a semi pro skirmish at some point. Protect yourself against price gouging by shopping on the Web for the best bargains.
