peacey Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 I'm wanting to buy an FAC air rifle and my local gunsmith recommends the BSA SuperTen. Brand new and converted he said £590. Is this reasonable and are they any good as FAC converted rifles. I only want about 28 ftlbs to keep it accurate. Any help appreciated.

How many shots per fill with a 400c bottle @ 28ftlb? By the way i think the Theoben is a little out of my price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parky844 Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 if you get the mkIII you will be restricted to the 200cc bottle because of the stock ,however you will get 40 - 50 full power shots (fac) per fill ,with a spare bottle this is ample for a couple of hours rabbiting.

kyle333 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 I hunt with a super 10 fac running at 30ft pounds using bisley magnums and ive fired alot of different rifles including air rangers, rapids, air arms s410's and i still think its the best,tho these are all top rifles. All these group really really well. All can put pellet on pellet at 50yards no problem. What stands out the best is the super10, the reason why is the reg and that brillaint trigger. Only down side is that it doesnt have a quick fill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
