I've had all three, BSA R10, Hatsan AT-44 long qe, and a .25 gen 2 Marauder. The Marauder was my least favorite of the 3 and I got rid of it almost immediately, I really liked the Hatsan, especially the accuracy for the money, but the BSA, which is the only one of the three that I won't be selling, is in another class from the Hatsan and the Marauder. Great choice, I can't imagine you'll be disappointed. The BSA stock is a pretty quiet gun. I can't imagine you won't be able to shoot it in your back yard.

Here's a really recent review that Giles from across the pond did. I think it about sums it up how great the gun is for the money.

Regards,
Cliff

I received the R10 .177 from Amazon yesterday. Really nice fit and finish, it is the black wrap. The box had been opened and the fill adapter and manual were not in the box.

Not off to a good start. It came pre charged to about 200 bar so I took it out and fired it a couple of times. It is definitely backyard quite. The trigger is great. I then took my bolt action Ruger .22 with subsonic CCI's and a Huntertown Arms suppressor out to compare. That setup is 2x quieter and about 3lbs lighter than the R10. I live in the county so firearms are legal as long as the noise does not bother the neighbors. The gun to me is too heavy - 9lbs without bi pod and scope.

Bottom line: nice gun, I'm pretty sure it will outshoot the Ruger at 35yrds. but I did not realize my 3k tank would also need to be upgraded so I returned it. I have yet to try a friend's FX WC. Maybe the cool factor of that gun will get me into the PCP world. I really appreciate all of the comments I have learned a lot.

I am also in the PCP market-I have springers, FWB 124, AA prosport-all 177 and a NP22 for a shed gun. I'm in the suburbs on big lots around 4 1/2 acres and a shoot a lot of starlings, so I don't want my projectiles bothering my neighbors. I also happen to have a couple of scuba tanks (from another hobby). I really like the finish on my AA pro sport and was looking at their S500 or 510 series-comments on them or suggestions. I've also considered the marauder, but sure looks like you end up putting more money into the gun especially if I wanted it regulated.
