Seamaster 153 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 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.

Seamaster 153 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Just thought I'd put a picture up. Chris 3 Quote Link to post
Rez 4,961 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 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. Quote Link to post
Bunnyblatter 1,012 Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 That's a stunning air rifle mate. I had a R10 and would still have it now if I had known the lads I do now as I would of just got the barrel shortened as it was a very long gun. Never had a problem with the mag on mine Quote Link to post

Seamaster 153 Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Thanks chaps. Will do Mitch. It is much more pointable than the full length ones mate and the newest mags are way smoother. Chris Quote Link to post
Durham John 693 Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Must say Seamaster that does look good, an I dont like the look of some "bottle" guns but that does look finished off not just a big bottle bolted on the end like some do 2 Quote Link to post
mole trapper 1,693 Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 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. Quote Link to post

Chris 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 Quote Link to post
Seamaster 153 Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 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. Chris Quote Link to post
