Elk hunter Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 As I'm in the prosess of building and targets on the way, I thought that just may be I should have an air rifle to try it out. So after trawling the web I found a BSA R10 in the box not extras just a gun. Now I wanted a rapid 7 but saw this and I like it just looks like the rapid just sexier. I bought it Saturday morning. But after buying it I noticed there was a lot of negative feed back on other forums about the gun in question from pressure problems,accuracy and even fussy about pellets. So I was worried I'd bought a lemon. So I put an old scope on went up the farm yesterday. Took 20 pellets to zero then a 6 shot group off the top of the van at 30 yards. All my worries have gone and well chuffed! Can't wait for the targets to arrive. Andrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFN Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Everyone has an opinion but you can't argue with that grouping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elk hunter Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I did not pay a lot for it. But then I did not haggle with the seller. Plus a Genuine reason for selling. But I have to admit I bought it on looks not performance. It was only after buying it I looked for reveiws on the gun and got a little worried. Just need a new scope Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IXI KARL IXI Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I wouldn't listen to everything you hear. When I was looking for a new gun not to long ago. I was told everything for hatsan are the best to daystate are rubbish and BSA haven't got a clue how to make a rifle. In the end I just went to the shop spoke to the guy selling them, then held a few and went back a couple of weeks and did the same. People have brands they love and hate and (as I found out) will defend them to the end lol nice to see grouping like that mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHT SEARCHER Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I have a Super 10 bull barrel and it`s very accurate and has never given any problems. The mags can be a bit of a pain but there is a vid on you tube on how to strip and de-burr them. I did all 3 of my mags and what a difference they are a lot smoother and never miss cycle now. There is a vid on how to charge the buddy bottle it saves your threads and 0 ring. It just shows you how to discharge the gun before you remove the buddy bottle.

Just need a new scope Andrew It doesn't matter what gun you buy there will always be someone who has had problems, nothing wrong with the R10 in principle, and it owes more than a little to Theoben anyway, oh yes and to its Spanish masters. Whats wrong with the scope...how much better group do you expect!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bisley mags only as also use these on the S10 FAC,cut my teeth on air rifles,then moved away from them,Have the FAC air purely for places where the rimmys not safe. Since I got my son this new Ultra I can't put the ****** down.Always a place for air in my heart.Air rifle lads get too much greif in my opinon.l also believe they make the best stalkers.

Elk hunter Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Davyo The pellets are some I picked of my fathers gun cabinet, crossman premier. Seen to be ok not sure if they are expensive or just run of the mill. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent_keith Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Lovely rifle, mines going off to Darrin at XTX Air soon for a tune up. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHT SEARCHER Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 If the pellets are Crosman premier ultra magnums. Most places around £8.00 a tin. Same pellet Has Webley Accupell. Crosman make them for Webley to stick there name and profit on. Very good pellets and very accurate and look like tracers when out lamping.

jackinbox99 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Lovely looking gun, ive been looking at them myself recently. The mk1 did get some negative reviews with some people getting various problems. But ive read nothing put positive things about the mk2 version. And it certainly is a very nice looking gun. If one comes up at the right price i`ll get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
