Description
Golden Eagle Vanquish LMR Sniper Rifle (450 FPS – Fluted – Spring Bolt Powered)
The Golden Eagle Vanquish LMR is a spring-powered bolt-action sniper rifle styled on the Nemesis Arms Vanquish, the compact take-down precision rifle, and this version has a fluted barrel, as named. The original’s party trick is that it breaks down into a remarkably small package, and Golden Eagle’s replica follows the same idea, which makes it far easier to carry to and around a site than a conventional full-length sniper rifle.
The fluted outer barrel reduces weight and gives the rifle the distinctive look of the real Vanquish. Spring power means the rifle works the same in any weather, with no gas or battery to worry about. The name lists a power of 450 FPS; as with any sniper rifle, check your site’s limits and have it chronographed before play.
Build and design
A UK retailer listing for Golden Eagle’s Nemesis Arms Vanquish spring rifle describes full metal construction, with an alloy outer barrel, receiver, stock bars and bipod and a high-density polymer pistol grip, cheek piece and butt plate. It gives a length of about 90cm with the stock collapsed and 115cm extended across five stock positions, and a weight of about 3.9kg. The same listing describes the fluted outer barrel, a 20mm Picatinny rail on the receiver and a pre-installed muzzle brake.
The take-down design is described as tool-free: the knurled barrel nut unscrews to remove the barrel, the bolt can be removed without tools, and the stock collapses up to the receiver. The rifle is listed as supplied disassembled, ready to assemble.
Performance and internals
The retailer listing gives a 470mm, 6.03mm tight bore inner barrel that is VSR-10 compatible, and a wider-than-usual cylinder, which allows a shorter bolt pull without giving up air volume. The hop-up is a TDC-adjustable unit, set from the top rail with an Allen key, using a VSR-10-spec rubber and an aluminium hop-up arm. A 95-round mid-cap magazine is listed.
Because the hop-up and inner barrel follow VSR-10 standards, there is a wide choice of upgrade parts for tuning accuracy and consistency.
On the field
The Vanquish suits players who like to move between positions rather than stay in one hide all day. Break it down to carry, assemble it in a few moments, settle on the bipod and engage at range. Heavier BBs generally suit a sniper rifle’s hop-up best, and practising your bolt work will make follow-up shots quicker and smoother.

Care and maintenance
Never dry-fire a spring replica repeatedly without BBs, as this puts extra strain on the piston and cylinder. Clean the inner barrel with a rod and soft patch from time to time to keep shots consistent, and use good quality seamless BBs.
Do not leave the replica cocked during storage, so the spring is not held under load. Wipe metal parts with a lightly oiled cloth, keep any wooden furniture dry, and store it somewhere cool and dry.
Keep the barrel nut threads clean and lightly lubricated, and check that the barrel is fully tightened before every game.
Who is it for?
The Vanquish suits sniper players who want a compact, take-down rifle that is easy to transport and quick to deploy, and anyone who likes the look of the Nemesis Arms design.
Please note: Scope and BBs are not listed as included. Always wear suitable eye and face protection when using airsoft replicas, and check your site’s rules and power limits before play.
