I just bought a m4 impact sniper a couple days ago from a local dealer close to me. I haven't even shot it yet but I was playing with it when realized it has a 480cc bottle. I checked my receipt and he charged me for a sniper. I measured the barrel and it is 700 mm so that is correct and it has the moderator included. I was just wondering if there was some version that came with a 480cc bottle or if I need to contact my dealer and get it swapped out for a 580cc bottle. I don't want to be that guy but I also spent over two grand on a new rifle so I kind of want to get what I paid for.
Also the case was cut out perfect for the 480 bottle and not a longer one so I don't know if that means anything or helps
 
I have the standard and the cut out for the bottle is perfect for my 480cc bottle, but the cut-out for the barrel would also fit the 700cc barrel. Sounds like you got a standard with the longer 700mm barrel. And, you're not that guy, you're just a consumer that expected to get what they paid for! I would return it and get the correct air rifle, in the correct case!

Someone probably ordered a sniper and requested the shorter 600mm barrel and your dealer did a barrel swap from a standard, and you got that one.

Do the newer Impacts still have the serial number sticker on the hard-case? Maybe the OP can check the sticker description and verify what the rifle was supposed to be leaving the factory.

If I remember correctly the 700mm sniper comes with 480cc bottle. Some will come with 580cc bottle. If you bought it at your local dealer why didn't you check first? Since you took the gun home might be hard to convince the dealer to swap bottle. But you can try. Worst they can say is no. But yeah should check b4 you took it home.

Mine did! Probably as important as matching Serial Numbers is the Model Number and Description! Here are mine, it is a Standard with the 600mm Barrel.

If what you got was the result of a barrel swap (a Sniper 700mm barrel put on a Standard, then sold as a Sniper), it's a good chance the Serial Numbers will match, BUT, does the description say STD or Sniper?

I contacted my dealer this morning and he said that it should have the 580cc bottle and he told me to come in and he would swap it out. Thanks for all the advice.

You may want to ask if he could swap out the whole thing so you get a true "Sniper" in a "Sniper" case. When and if you ever go to sell it, these little details may become important!
