digginmad2011 57 Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Thinking of buying an R10 .177 or .22?? Any advice Quote Link to post
Tim_B 2 Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Never shot an R10 but from what I have found you can answer the calibre question without linking it to a particular model. Once you have answered the calibre question, you can then choose a model on what the things that matter to you..... Haven't been shooting seriously for very long, but that's what I have found. My personal choice would be .22 for hunting, .177 for targets. Cheers Tim Quote Link to post
silentshot1 206 Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) I love my R10, it's my 'go to' PCP. Honestly, I'm not sure if I would by new as to get the best out of them, they could do with a service from XTX, John Bowkett, Rancid Tom... the list goes on. Mine was serviced and X tuned by XTX three years ago and it's still averaging 11.3 ft lbs with very little deviation and can put a tight one hole group together at 40yds. Not bad for £550 for gun, tune and postage. All in all, a proper hunting gun. Mine's .22 but .177 do just as well if you hit the Kill Zone. Edited October 31, 2013 by silentshot1 Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) Advice is buy a secondhand one and get it tuned by XTX or John Bowkett! Edited October 31, 2013 by secretagentmole Quote Link to post

digginmad2011 57 Posted October 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 .22 it is then thanks lads will update you further more soon happy hunting Dm2011 Quote Link to post
topshot26 30 Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 bsa r10 very good caliber you need to be thinking what path your going down target or hunting path to decide what caliber is best for that or you could go in-between and go for a .20 but if you come to sell it you will never get rid of it becuse .20 not popular and more people want .177 or .22 Brendan.

villaman 9,982 Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 As Skot said HW100KT far better gun and does not need a tune 1 Quote Link to post
optelic2 48 Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) I have an early mk1 r10 tuned by John Bowkett and love it. Min's .177 and its just as capable whether im ratting or rabbit shooting. Edited November 1, 2013 by optelic2 Quote Link to post
