RAPID 7 1 Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 best thing to do is chuck it at what you are shooting at more chance off hittin it that way YOU ONLY GET WAT YOU PAY FOR COMES TO MIND Quote Link to post
Dawn B 212 Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 I have an XS20 and its perfectly adequate for Rabbits, Crows, Squirrels, maggies, Jays, Woodies etc... Paid £120 and does exactly the same job as my boss's Rapid 17 and is more powerful. Depends to what extent you shoot and what money you have. Im happy with mine, but I dont shhot every day, more like once or twice a week, or whenever a friggin Squirrel comes in the garden! Quote Link to post
new2hunting 0 Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 this is the xs 19 supergrade that i was looking at.seems a bargain. it looks like a bsa lighting Quote Link to post
trappsy 0 Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 xs 20 is as good as youll get for the money, i bought mine for shooting rats, but then took it on my rabbit shoot, no problems at all at 40 yards, sold it on and the guy who has it is well suited, ( I sold it to get a bsa xl tactical, a lot lighter) I love a springer to change from my PCPs, its a skill in itself.

michael_michael 0 Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 ive had a XS19 for about 6 months now its a good wuality rifle for the price ive bagged tonnes of rabbits accuratley as you can see this head shot was from about 30 yards with the 19 very very good rifle for the money, only thing that i would comment on is the recoil which is relatively high but not majorly of putting. happy hunting!

iddles 0 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 hi everyone i bought a BAM air rifle its identical to the smk Bb4 underlever but i keeps breaking the trigger stops working and it wont cock and the trigger is heavy which is why i cant seem to hit a barn door with it anyway thats my knowledge.

darren 0 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 i have the 19 aswell,even though i was warned not to buy one,its very powerful and definitely does the job on rabbits and pigeons,only problem is once youve shot one thing everything else off cos it sounds like a cannon going off. but great fun for the price and if youre not to serious about airgunning.
