Lord Geordie Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 (edited) I had the MK1 and NEVER had a picking of bother with it :thumbs: Accurate powerful enough a tad on the heavy side but i found it was a good tool for the job. Lifetime warranty so effectivley a gun for life Never had a MK2 so can't really comment on it as i can with the MK1 but if they ironed a lot of the so called trouble out then if one came up cheap enough i would most likely buy one LG Edited March 26, 2006 by Lord Geordie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKEBITE Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 The only thing that you wi have to watch out for is the weight and the fit. Check both and if they seem alright to you then you won't go wrong despite what the critics say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Just remember when cycling the next round to close the bolt FULLY till you hear it click as it locks Thats the MOST common cause of jams. LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ratcatcher Posted March 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 how about a bipod, just thinking of getting one if i do buy the s16. for shooting rabbits laying down in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P03 Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I've had an S16s (mk2) for some time and I really can't fault it. It's a bit heavy but it's deadly accurate and very quiet. As Lord Geordie said you have to be very careful with the bolt and you have to make sure the main cylinder seal is completely clean and greased before fitting the cylinder. As for a bipod, I fitted one but as it fits on the forward stock bolt (sling fitting) it moves the plastic stock. This doesn't affect accuracy but if you've got a laser fitted it does move your dot and you lose your rangefinding aid P03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I never had any problem at all. I had a logun bi-pod and laser on mine and no probs. PO3 perhaps you should look at the stock mounting as you seem to have a unique problem there mate. Apart from a little greasing of o rings its pretty maintenance free. The bolt, theres no indexing but as long as you get into a routine of loading immediately after firing you know where you are. Definitely built for the bigger person though.

SNAKEBITE Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 As AXE says the best things are the Logun pods and laser. They keep the lines of the gun and are of good quality. Infact I liked them so much I bought a set of Logun (copy) pods for my S410k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 My mate bought Axes' S-16. It has been used extensively for the last 3 months with no problems. Bit jealous I didn't buy it myself now LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roblade Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 i think a lot depends on the price of the rifle, if its cheap then yep no problem go for it, but if its 300+ for a bare rifle my money would be going on a second hand S410.

ROB Fair point. Because of the unwarranted bad press picking up a cheap S16 is no problem at all though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
