SniperR10 Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Hi i cant coment on the daystate but i can on the BSA R10 and if you look on the BSAOG web site there is lots of info on the BSA R10. BSAOG R10 Forum I have a BSA R10 in .22 cal and it is a great looking and well balanced gun. This is the gun that i grab out of the cabinet everytime without hesitation, I would also buy another one tommorow. Best gun i own and have ever owned. The latest one have had all the previous problems of the original ones solved and as can be seen on the BSA forum there are many happy owners.

bullet boy Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Well I haven't shot an R10 nor a Huntsman,but I have a Daystate X2 and if the Huntsman is as near as good as the X2 then I'd say to go for the Huntsman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 I had a Single shot Huntsman up to about 2000 when I traded it for a Multi shot Falcon. Never had any issues with the Huntsman (except it liked to go rusty), things should be better now! But of the 2, I would still say the BSA....... but in reality I would say find a couple of £ more and get a Rapid 7! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SniperR10 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 My mate keeps saying bsa R10 are **** and they aint full power and all that so not sure :blink: Just buy the one you like. The one that fits you the one that feels right, the one that jumps out at you when you go into the RFD. That is how I got mine…..I personally think that they are all good, its it just down to personal preference and personal budget. Go to a RFD and hold them(not the RFD) and see how they feel when shouldered, Check out any special offers or deals. Or join a local club and see what others are using. If the club is anything like the one i am a member we are a friendly bunch and most new members get a chance to try out the different rifles members have helping them to decide what they want. Also you will be able to find out the little niggles or the positive points of the different rifles where as a RFD may just want to sell you what he has at the time. A full power UK legal air rifle will put out just under 12ft/lb. If you go for an FAC air rifle then 20, 30, 40ft./lb + is available. Hope this is of some help Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaron airgunner Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 yes r10's look good but the huntsman is a really nice handling rifle. its so balanced and the shot to shot conisistency is much better than the r10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad93 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 TBH with you, save yourself some pennies and possibly some hassle an get a second hand BSA that has been blueprinted or regged. Sending mine (SuperTEN) off to be blueprinted soon. They really do come back completly different machines. Groupings inside a 5p at 50 yards Check out bsaog.co.uk and stick 'blueprint' in the search function Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chap...that is BULL, many rifles come from the manufacturer well under 12ft lb but the BSA and many others are perfectly capable of 12. Get it checked and insist it is somewhere close, most people have them between 11-11.5ft lb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubshot Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) Most New precharge Air Gun's come out from Box doing around 10FP As Set @ Factory with their pellets But try different pellets - as they can bring it closer to sub 12FP No manufacture is going to accept another pellet is more efficient then theirs ..........
