I have been turn off of the .22 plat form for years after I got my .25 Mrod. I just never thought a .22 could compete against the .25 but after shooting NMshooter's .22 cricket, I was very impressed. I was so much impressed that I started looking for a higher end .22 gun for the past several months.
I came across TN_airgunner's BSA and last week I saw our mailman driving down the road and chased him down because I couldn't wait until this evening to get the gun. When I opened the package, I was blown away at how great this rifle was. Those Brits really know how to make a gun. I was a bit surprise how small the tank was:
From the first time handling the R-10 I could tell the gun was well made. The stock on the gun looked amazing. I noticed the tank had 150 bar in to so I dry fired a couple of shots and the trigger felt great.
I quickly disposed evidence of the shipping material, mounted a scope, and had to store the gun until tomorrow. As luck would have it, I have been super busy for one half weeks. I finally was able to take a short trip to my parent's place and was able to put the gun through its paces. I was able to create a drop chart yesterday and today I was able to stretch out the R-10.
This is my first shooting session and I place this can out to 98 yards. The wind was blowing about 8 to 10 mph and guesting to 18 mph coming from my 6 o'clock. I was able to walk in the pellet and got this can on the 4th shot. You can see a pellet skid mark on the right:
This metal plate measures 3inch x 5inch and seems to be an 18 gauge along with this coke can was placed 106 yards out. After figuring out the hold over and wind, I was consistently able to shoot both the plate and can consistently. I really surprise how much energy is carried out this far.
Here are a few more pictures:
The R-10's first kill. 66 yards head shots on both:
This is a great gun and if I had a gripe about this gun is the location of front sling studs. I will also look in to getting a bigger carbon fiber tank. Since I have this gun now, I have a few reasons why i should keep the prod.
