Just Bought A Bsa R10 Super Carbine


Recommended Posts

In .177 of course, and I have to say it's a cracking little rifle.

I've got three HW100 rifles, all with lots of mods, and I will never part with them but this R10 is a big improvement on the old ones, especially the magazine which is faultless. I put a Huggett moderator on it and it's nice and quiet with a really slick bolt action. With Daystate FT Heavies it's doing a very consistent 11.5fpe and very accurate at 35yds.

I felt I was taking a chance on this gun but, albeit after only one day, I think it's a real star.

I'll be testing it further over the weekend but first impressions are very good.

Looks like proper armature porn that mate. Real nice. The R10's always look better with the stubby barrel. Real nice that. I just can't go back to BSA after the HW100 magazine myself. The HW magazine just seems better thought out. No mechanics etc.

 

However the look of that makes up for it, and if it performs as good as it looks. End of.

I bought one of the super carbine as soon as they were released for work, topped it with a photon, binned the silencer and put on a hw, it is truly lazer guided! Awesome bit of kit, mine is the tactical version.

Sounds good. What pellets are you using mate?

Hi Chris , What is the out come of the super carbine after a few weeks of shooting it ?

Thinking selling the Ultra to buy a super carbine

Hi Mitch, I honestly can't fault it mate. The newest mags are very good and its as accurate and consistent as the HWs.

The finish is better than the MK1 I had a while ago and I think it's a much improved model.

The HWs are going nowhere but the R10 is definitely a favourite at the minute. I'd definitely recommend one. Let me know what you decide.
