well tbh i have not been to hime since and 12 months on the gun is still going strong - seems strange that a post can be revived nearly 12 months on lol in fact it might be more than 12 months but what the heck i got over it - guns good as new - but I agree and will never go there again I have just signed up to pigeon watch and I am interested in buying a BSA Lightning, I normall y use a 12B shot gun but fancy an air rifle as well, just to potter with and have fun with a few targets now and again with my mate, so I typed in BSA Lightning and read all the comments and thought I'd add one myself. bit late but never the less thought that gun smith was ****. yeah he is but none the less the bsa lightning is a super tool and you would not go far wrong i have had in excess of 100 rabbits and countless rats and crows with this weapon upto ranges of nearly 50 yards Got my Lightning XL delivered yesterday, it looks great, bit heavier than I expected for the size but I Can’t wait to get up to the farm I shoot at on Thursday to try it out and zero in the scopes, and with a Bit off look use it in earnest for some vermin control, will be taking my Berretta o/u shotgun with me as well just in case something bigger presents it's self.

I would be very concerned that the gunsmith you took your rifle to first, did not notice the cracks in the stock and told you to grease the main spring, I would not go back there again. unless the damage to the stock was caused after he examined it and you say this was not the case, some gunsmith he is.

The clay pigeon shooting association (CPSA) is only about £26 or there about, can't remember the correct amount but it won't be far out, it gives you the same insurance as BASC for any shooting sport and is a lot cheaper if cost is an issue, the BASC membership gives you a better magazine etc and is a good organisation if you are not bothered about the extra cost. But join one for the insurance alone it's a must.
