ferret_uk 4 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 What are your views on a bsa lighting it would only be used for bunnys ? Also is there many mods that can be done to these guns to improve it? Thanks Ferret_uk Quote Link to post
Wildling 520 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Twangy as Feck mate and not really much that you can do if your on about tricking one up. Perfectly capable of taking out Rabbits, Rats, Squirrels and most of the Feather species with practice. Ok as a fun gun or for a carry round when doing a bit of squirrel bashing in the woods due to the light weight of the thing, but don't expect much in the way of long range shooting.

ferg81 0 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 I had one,not an xl the One before it was a great little gun,got me plenty of squirrel and pigeon it did me proud until i got a hw97 which in all honestly is a better rifle but this is a perfectly capable gun and I for one would reccomend it,I would say though if you have a bit more money there are better options,if this is your final decision though it is a good choice...

Pretorious 3 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 I'm running with a Mk1 Lightning and am pretty happy with it so far. There is a twang there but it isnt that bad, the later rifles might be a little more twangy but others will be in a better position to answer that as I havent owned one. I have used it on rabbit, squirrel and rat since I have owned mine, which hasnt been long and have had no problems dispatching any of them humanely. I like them but it is all subjective, what suits one person may not suit another. Try one if you can Quote Link to post
