Edward Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) I am thinking about a new air rifle, my three choices are: BSA lightening XL, Sheridan Airsource. they both claim to be 11.5lb/ft. At the moment I am leaning towards the lightening as I am a springer user. but I want to know your opinions on these rifles. I will be using it for bunny shooting at night mostly. Thanks Edited June 1, 2009 by EdwardtheloneShooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineshooter Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I`d go for the Lightening, rugged, reliable with the power you want and.............. wont run out of air at the crucial moment. The Tactical XL with synthetic stock and fitted moderator would probably be a good choice. Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lineshooter Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I think at present its BSA`s most popular seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonBoy88 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 crack on with the lightning xl buddy, cant fault mine, i take rabbits at 40 meters with no problems (not as often as i would like though), well made, nice to look at and it shoulders beautifully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 After reading write-ups on the Lightning-this is a fabulous spring rifle that would certainly do the job for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
