Ron Weasley 83 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 There's been tonnes written about bipods and spring rifles on this forum - do a search to find out why it's a no no. The rifle will do the job for you though mate. If you get one, it may be worth considering fitting a gas ram in place of the spring as they're a bit clanky and noisy. Personally, in your shoes I would be considering a Weihrauch HW95 over the Lightning. Quote Link to post
garfield 23 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Personally, in your shoes I would be considering a Weihrauch HW95 over the Lightning. I'd second that the lightning is a good basic rifle but for the money you can pick up a secondhand 95 and they are worlds apart in build quality Quote Link to post

brunty29cdo 5 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 i currently have an lightning xl and its a good little rifle,iv also had a hw95 and the hw95 was nicer and easier to shoot with as it feels more smooth. but saying that i love my lightning and very happy with it. personal preference mate Quote Link to post
brandonsdad 0 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I agree i only bought my lightning xl .25 as it was spanking new and a bargin, but i have grown to love it! even though it is VERY pellet fussy. But chambers do an upgrade for about £, this is supposed to make the buggers amazing but aint heard anyone whos done it yet? Quote Link to post
barrywhite 282 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I have a lightning in 177 .it has to be tuned with a nice spring and springuide .the gun is light weight .out hunting that is a plus but it is hard to shoot because it is light weight [the gun is accurate with practice} .I have a 97k also( untuned ).I like this gun better have gotten used to the weight when out hunting.For the price of a bsa you could get a better gun as mentioned.
