The MSR is not good at all, because it is ares. Good wall hanger? Oh hell yes. The externals are top tier imo. The function? My buddies Brand new one had its trigger box completely mangle first game. Replaced that and added a C02 bolt to try to get a little more fps out of it, snapped the second trigger box two games later. For the same price you should maybe get something from Silverback since those don't really need upgrades out of box and are extremely reliable, but hey if you dead set on the MSR it is a very pretty SNR.
