desbo79 0 Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 thanks for the welcome , been goin through some old topics gaining wisdom. im picking up a bsa tactical xl tommorow ( cant wait ) feels like christmas again . never had a shoot with one of these , but am very familiar with the lightning. i love everything about my lightning ,but fell in love with the tactical when i saw it in my local shop. the look and feel . has anybody got any advice on what pellet has proved the most acurate and hardhitting? very intersted to hear if there are any tactical owners . thank you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff.C 0 Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 A wise choice desbo, I like the look of the tactical and might be tempted soon. I would think any ammo that works well in a lightning,would be good for a tactical? My mate uses Bisley magnums and Accupels in his,both seem ok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would think any ammo that works well in a lightning,would be good for a tactical? My mate uses Bisley magnums and Accupels in his,both seem ok. the tactical, what can i say. pure emotion. handles perfect for me, spent the entire day shooting once id zeroed in the scope. getting hole in hole at 35 yds lack of room prevents me from goin any futher but it feels like its got a fair bit more in it. i think i got a problem seriously. keep getting it out of the case just to hold. so pleased with it, feels like it should've cost more. my pellet of choice like your mates is the accupels, my tactical came with 4x32 ( changed for hawke 3-9x40 ) hard case ,targets, sling,logan penetrators. cost £295, know i could have got a better price somewhere else but i like to give my local shop the buisness. the silencers a fair bit quieter than the volumetric on the lightning. i love the look of the lightning, even though a few say its ugly. i was initially skeptical about the slimline on the tactical but its the buisness. well i hope i havnt bored you to tears with my gushing ode to the tactical.
