Tron 173 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Yes, very popular, and you dont see many for sale!. the MK1 was blighted with poor magazines but most now have MK2 mags which cures the problem and they have regulators fitted with a claimed shot count of 150 plus in .177!

zini 1,939 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 If it was a late mark 1 model and its in fully working order i can imagine that it will be a corker of a rifle pal. They are great quality with lovely wood work and brilliant accuracy. Alot of the earlier models had problems and the rifle got a bad name early on. Its now starting to make a come back and is doing very well especially the mark 2 model. Ive witnessed a new mark 2 shooting straight out the box and i reckon it could compete with any rifle (including all the Daystate hunting models) for quality and accuracy. Si Quote Link to post
xraiderx 94 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) My R10 22 is a late mk1 bought new early nov 2010 Due to the bad weather at that time for the first few weeks only shot it in the garden 12yds. Great pellet on pellet and then bought a combro 7fbs yes 7fbs. Off it went back to BSA 2 weeks came back all repacked as a new one with the bits n bobs and spare mag Now shooting at 11fbs so im happy now apart from one thing could do with shorter barrell So off it went again but this timeto MR J BOWKETT barrell shortening and full blueprint Apart from the low power setting out of the box this was a very good gun Now i would'nt part with it AWSOME http://i1033.photobu...61/DSC00297.jpg CHEERS GARRICK oh yes my serial# R221917 produced in sept 2010 if that helps Edited November 23, 2011 by xraiderx Quote Link to post
