Jonny92 6 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Hi I have an bsa r10 but have been looking at swapping it for an air ranger. I was just wondering if the air ranger is worth the extra money or would i be better just to stick with the r10 would like some advice off people who have owned both guns thanks. Jonny.

Buster321c 1,010 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Air Ranger for me , would'nt even compare the 2 Quote Link to post
the big chief 3,099 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 never shot the air ranger but i love my r10 have you thought of sending it to john bowkett for a blue print it makes the gun 100% better than the factory modle Quote Link to post
caravandwellar 1 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 I had an R10 for bout 3 month and considered a Ranger the whole time I had it. Got one eventually, absolutely fantastic!! I love it, it's my main hunting gun and its definately a keeper. Can't compare the R10 to a Ranger. Don't get me wrong the R10's are great for the price, nothing wrong with them at all, but I'm glad I traded in. Also get an uprated stock if you have the cash, I did and was really lucky, got a real nice tiger striped stock Quote Link to post
Jonny92 6 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 So the air range is worth it then. Looks like I maybe trading the r10 in and to be honest never really thought about sending it off to John bowkett how much does it cost to get it blue printed? Thanks for the replies.

topshot26 30 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 air ranger for me i have shot both r10 and the air ranger but the air ranger shoot 10 times better more shots a fill (350 .177) better consistance , nicer trigger machanisem ( crisper break ) and would say better quality as in the 10 shot mag and the stock feels better to hold Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Which is precisely what you get with a Bowkett Blueprint, more consistency, more efficient use of air and a nicer trigger action as well! Might not be quite as good as the Daystate, but it won't cost as much either! Edited July 18, 2013 by secretagentmole 3 Quote Link to post
Jonny92 6 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Mole has a good point there. Am just gonna have to wait gonna have a trip down to my local gun shop tomorrow going to have a look at the air ranger and have a chat with them see what deal they can give me if I part ex my r10. 1 Quote Link to post
villaman 9,983 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Got a r10 ,shot a air ranger prefer my HW100kt Quote Link to post
Jonny92 6 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 My dad has an hw100 and I have shot it a couple of times it's a good gun but not my cup of tea. Quote Link to post
optelic2 48 Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 air ranger for me i have shot both r10 and the air ranger but the air ranger shoot 10 times better more shots a fill (350 .177) better consistance , nicer trigger machanisem ( crisper break ) and would say better quality as in the 10 shot mag and the stock feels better to hold When will you ever need 350+ shots?? Even when ratting ive never run out of air with my tuned mk1 r10. As for consistency nothing wrong with my r10 over a full fill and s/h was less than half the price of a Daystate Ranger .
