History in Your Hands – With the Performance to Match

Description.

Some rifles are just tools for the job. Others—like the S&T Arisaka Type 97 Sniper Rifle—are a full experience, pulling you back in time while packing in the performance you need for the modern field. This faithful 1:1 replica of the Japanese Imperial Army’s bolt-action sniper rifle isn’t just a pretty face; it blends old-school aesthetic with a VSR-10-based spring system, giving it serious legs for both re-enactment and skirmish use.

Let’s start with the showstopper: the real wood stock. It’s not faux, not plastic made to look like wood—it’s the genuine article. One-piece, with that deep reddish-brown grain that feels like something out of a museum exhibit. It gives the rifle its classic heft and balance, making it feel alive in your hands. Pair that with a metal receiver, bolt, and barrel assembly and you've got a platform that handles like the original war-era rifle it replicates.

But don’t be fooled by the vintage look. Under the hood, this is running a spring-powered setup built around the ever-popular VSR-10 system. That means it’s compatible with a wide swath of upgrade parts—springs, piston, hop-up unit, even precision barrels. The included hop-up is adjustable via a side-mounted slider, so it’s quick and easy to dial in your shots for heavyweight BBs or longer range. Out of the box, expect it to clock in somewhere between 380 and 420 FPS, making it perfectly suited to sniper roles at most UK sites.

This BB gun isn’t for the spray-and-pray crowd—it’s for the sharpshooters and collectors who appreciate the tactile feel of racking a bolt and lining up a shot the old-fashioned way. The included 2.5x scope mounts using a period-correct offset rail on the side of the receiver—just like the original Japanese snipers used it in WWII. That means the turned-down bolt clears cleanly, and the shooter can cycle the action without fumbling around the optic.

Function meets form with the adjustable cheek riser, smooth trigger pull, and long inner barrel that puts this in serious competition with modern rifles in the field. Pair it with a camo net and some patience, and you’ve got one of the most satisfying sniper experiences you can have in airsoft—especially if you’re into Milsim or historical events.

The S&T Arisaka Type 97 is an absolute gem in the historical replica category, but don’t let its traditional roots fool you—it’s still a rifle that shoots straight, feels great, and turns heads. It’s got the looks of a war-era classic and the bones of a modern airsoft sniper rifle—a rare combination in a world full of tacticool blacked-out clones.

Think you’ve found this beauty cheaper somewhere else? Don’t keep it to yourself—head over to our price match page and we’ll beat it. Let’s keep history alive—and affordable.
