Type 88 Sniper

[cadgo]

Yes, I really appreciate this company bringing in so many cool guns to Canada but that is pretty steep.

We would love to be able to sell these at 1 or 2k, but unfortunately it is a very expensive rifle for us to buy in the first place. Our margins on this rifle are less than most of the other products we sell.

The Type 88 Sniper is mil-spec, accurized and does come with a scope, mount, adjustable bi-pod and 3 mags already. These all contribute to a higher cost at the end of the day.

No offence, but I think giving a 1913 rail instead of scope,bipod etc would be a better choice.
$3k one can purchase Swiss Arms, FS2000, Tavor, High end AR. I hate to say but given Norinco's reputation (affordable pricing at quality's expense)
few people is going to take it.

Espeically given the Type 97 Fiasco, I'm not sure if T88 uses the same design as QBZ95 and T97, but regardless its a gun that could potentially be classify as variant of T97 thus prohib.

I'm shaking my head at this thread...."It's Chinese so it should be inexpensive"....LMAO.

The price will be what it will be.

Here's a pic of the scope mount. It doesn't look at all like the T97 mount. It looks decent, there is a rather large "recoil lug" for the scope to nestle into under recoil. It looks like it would be fairly straight-forward to design a 1913 rail for it if someone wanted to.

I think the 3k price is justifiable if glass it comes with is decent quality and there is a sub MOA gaurantee. Would be nice if it comes with a Picatinny mount also.

But I am not sure about the design of the bipod, it looks like there will be zero shift.

Seriously... Not everything the Chinese make is of poor quality.

At least wait for the reviews to start trickling-in before you whine about the quality/price ratio.

Does it require the stock to be on to go bang?

Looks like Norinco has a new flagship model. Would be interesting to see a hands on/range test.

Would love one of these. But the price is more than Im willing to pay at this time.

^^ This equals stupid and wrong. For one, the Type 97 is not a variant of anything prohibited, it was prohib because it supposedly could be converted to full auto easily, so the variant rule has absolutely no connection to this case.
