After reading more reviews from people who have owned the bsa lightning xl it looks like alot of people have had similar experiences to you . There are alot more negative reviews than there are positive. I understand you saying about the hw 50 not being full powered but im thinking my 7 year old son could use it in the garden too and if theres less recoil and abit more user friendly it would help him out abit. I did have a .22 hw95 but i sold it and brought a 410 hushpower which i think are absolutely fantastic bits of kit.

Thanks for your replys. I will mainly be plinking in the back garden so having quite a crack wouldn't be ideal as the last thing i want is the neighbours complaining. I have seen a lovely looking restored hw50s for sale that is a few £ less. Performing at 8ft/lbs and being semi recoilless it should be alot smoother and quieter to shoot . And should still knock the odd rat over at short range from off the bird feeder.

Hi all . I'm on the verge of buying a bsa lightning xl se in .177 Does anyone have any experience with these and what are your opinions of them. Also iv seen the sound moderator on the barrel has a thread on the end for an additional silencer. Is there any in particular that users would reccomend to keep the noise levels down that little bit more? Thanks.

Aah ok i have the fully moderated gun with the ported barrel. Thanks for the info 👍

Ok il look into the eley . Thanks for your help .👍 Do they do these in fibre. As i can only seem to find plastic and with me using a hushpower its recommend not to use plastic cartridges. Thanks.

Hi all. I have recently brought a single barrel yildiz 410 fully moderated hushpower. The only subsonic cartridges i have tried so far are the 3" lyavale express magnasonic 17g 5's I find these quiet in comparison to the standard 410 cartridges. I have seen good reviews for the 24g cheddite, has anyone had any experience using these or is there any others that you would recommend. Thanks.
