It could shoot through twice as many cans of lager as the BSA Lightning Tactical (empty cans of course) It was an amazing gun, although it was quite heavy Edited August 30, 2012 by KurtH Quote Link to post

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 You could try looking for a BSA Super 10, imagine an R10 but without the problems and a nice side bolt action... Quote Link to post

Hopefully none but you never know... the problem with weirauch is they had a bloody good product to start with. so they thought we need to do it up to keep customers comeing. so now there at the point where they OVER complicated there rifles. Harley davidson did exacly the same thing with there bikes to the point that if you fart on one of there bikes a sencer is tripped Guess this is why i love british rifles more. there built to last but simple on the mechanics Edited August 31, 2012 by chris k 2 Quote Link to post

KurtH 74 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 It was between the Air Ranger and the Tactical Airwolf, but a gun that needs a key and that needs plugging into a wall socket to charge is just weird Quote Link to post
