Stamford Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) Hi chaps, normally a 12g user but now have a permission where my bsa could come in handy for rabbits.. I bought this rifle approximatley 6 years ago and has barley seen 500 shots through it. How good a gun actually is it ? I dont have a budget to upgrade so is it acceptable for rabbits and other vermin such as squirrels and rats ? I have a decent enough scope but may need to look at lamping equipment aswell... Any advice would be welcome Edited February 24, 2009 by Stamford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hezbear Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 The lightning is a excellent gun in my experience, i've got to zero one in for my friend but he's getting a gasram for it, as for lamping a 50mm front lens will let enough light in, i use a lazerlite scope mounted on mine for shooting but if we are out with the lurchers as well i use the lightforce striker, any questions p.m. me and i'll give you a truthful answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airssassin Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Its a great rifle as long as you work within it's limitations. I found my XL accurate to 30-35 yards, beyond that wasn't really good enough for hunting. So, stick to that sort of range and you won't go far wrong as long as you practise. As far as lethality was concerned it was the same as any other full power air rifle. It accounted for lots of grey squirrels which are the toughest of the airgun quarry. Mine was in .177.
