looks like a lightning to me

[andy97 209]

ye think it is mate lightning xl

Cheers guys. Been offered it for £150. I'm having a little play with it just now and must admit,it's quite a good little gun

[lavyheed69 2]

Anyone else using them? pros and cons?

[the big chief 3,099]

I had the mk1 years back was a good little gun but for £150 seems a fair price

[GAV*81 15]

I like them i had the mk1 but fancy one of them now

[andy97 209]

they are decent guns mate for a ton 50 you carnt really complain and will do the job

ive got one in .22. they're pretty good guns, i wouldn't fault most BSA's for their break barrel designs: so much easier to use personally.

The only Con for me is the wooden stock. Not saying its a bad stock nor a too cheap one but not a hard wood- as some rifles use. thus there'll be quick a bit of recoil and any knocks will scar it.

£150, a bargain if the scopes are included too

If its working properly 150 good price .the screws in the stock kept coming loose on mine [ some shake proof washers ] and the spring broke quite early on . I think the gun is over priced when new compared to say hw 95 .you have the later model and your trigger is supposed to be better than my early model .also the gun has to be held very loose when shot this hard to do with a heavy trigger .I have shot loads of rat and rabbits with mine .

that's a beech lightning xl mate, not sure if its a SE model.?

 

they come in spring or 'GRT' gas ram technology variants aswell

 

£150 sounds good if there is a scope and bag included.

 

the trigger can be heavy on these, I don't like that personally but some people do.

 

I had one of these last year, in .177 .. it was an 'ok' gun pretty accurate enough about 1-1.5 inch groups at 40 yards. it was underpowered tho from brand new making 8-9 ft lbs from brand new

 

it kept me on until I could afford a hw97 tho, then it went on a trade-in
