Mice! Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 @Longbower has one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetter Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Yep got one that I bought of Livens 2nd hand. Only difference from stock is the shroud has been shorted to match the barrel length and it has a HUMA reg in it. Its really nice and accurate as other stuff I have shot getting about 50 shots ish to the charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetter Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 I dont really push it to be honest as if I need to hit stuff at real range I have bigger stuff like my Hornet. But I take bunnies consistently at 50-60 yards no issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbower Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Yep , mine is a SE R10 , and a beautiful creation . The regulator, is about as much good as a back pocket in a vest! Put a HUMA Reg in it and it becomes the gun it looks like it should be. I bought the larger bottle from Best fittings, to get 60 shots at 29ft/lbs.. Not pellet fussy . No stupidly large Mag sticking up into the scope rail. So for under a grand , probably as good as you will get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetter Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 Echoing what Longbower says the non sticking up magazine is definitely a bonus as I had an FX verminator in the past and you then end up searching for stupidly high scope mounts. With the BSA you could if you want put on a one piece mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 I have a one piece mount on my scorpion. It stiffens up the breech block as there is a weak point at the mag cut out . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any first hand experience with one and what are your thoughts? thanks in advance I've had my MK2 VC model for 5 years now and can't complain with how it performs. Huma reg fitted after second factory item began playing up. Been reliable ever since giving 40 x 16gn pellets at 880fps per fill. Very consistent and accurate. Bit heavy and slightly long but solid.

Longbower Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 I should have added that I have sold mine to a close friend, as it was getting too heavy for my old back. not the rifles fault. My Scorpion is much lighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
