This week I tried 15.89 JSB from PA and I'm very pleased with results....very easy 1/2 inch groups at 50 yds plus the same at 60 yds (obvious no wind ) Velocity came in exactly at 900 fps with them....very happy with this gun. Has any one bought a single shot 22 tray from air venturi?

Back with more bsa r10 mk2 news....

If you try the AV tray, let us know if it works well. I thought about getting the hinged style single shot adapter but did not like the price. My R10 is shooting so well with the mag I decided not to spend the $$. Mike, was it you that was looking for spare mags in the want ads? Did you find any? Do you know if the Gamo/BSA mags fit the R10?

Mike, my R10 also prefers the 15.89g JSB’s and produces similar groups at 50 yards. Limiting factors are the wind and the capabilities of the shooter.

Just did a quick search for Gamo Urban magazines and everything I saw was in the $50 range. Could of sworn I had seen Urban mags for half that price at one time.

Rodeo, I bought one gamo urban mag from midway on sale for $36 with free shipping and it works great and even has a white dot to tell you the mag is empty .

Thanks Mike. Good to know that it has the white dot empty mag indicator. I don't think the mags from the pre MK2 R10"s had that indicator and there were known problems with those mags. Who knows if any of those old mags are floating around somewhere.

Literally just went to Midway's site and the mags are back at $51.99 Oh well. You snooze, you loose.

That seems to be a problem with all these better magazine fed rifles the magazines are cost wise in proportion to the cost of the rifle. The Evanix RS II magazines are pricey also

I have the bsa swing out single shot adapter in .177 and .22 for all my BSA rifles. They are very nice and work great. I also bought two more mags in .177 and .22 since I have a couple BSA rifles. If you dont mind going single shot you might just grab the BSA single shot adapter and pass on getting another mag. rwsmike glad the rifle is performing good for you. I read the title of the thread and though it was going to be a post about something going wrong. Glad its still performing.

I just out shot my condor ss 25 at 95 yards .....the groups were 3 Inch inch circles on paper. I actually missed the circle twice with the condor and I blame it on going from gun to gun with different triggers plus different scopes .

The R10 also fits the shooter very well and no doubt plays a role in accuracy and precision. I think if BSA added a .25 at 45 - 50 fpe it would sell like hot cakes.

My R10 is the most ergonomic rifle I have - it just plain fits right. The next air gun I would think about getting would be a .25 or .30 (most likely .25) in a standard rifle configuration. If BSA would put out an R10 version with good power and shot count I would consider it. They would need to keep it at a price point under say $1200. There is quite a bit of competition above that price.

The R10 MK2 (177) I picked up on sale from PA back at the first of July is a great rifle. If I had the spare cash sitting around I would buy another one.

I ended up with one R10 MKII in each caliber.
The .22 was my first nice air rifle. It has been by far my favorite rifle I've had. The walnut stock just feels perfect to me.
I picked the .177 back when PA had them on sale as well. I swapped the black stock for another walnut stock, and now's it's a close second favorite. No real reason why, it just doesn't have the sentimental value.
I've swapped carbon fiber bottles onto them and different shroud/LDC combinations, but not counting the HuMa regulators, I always end up back at the stock rifles.
