BSA And Now For Something Completely Different— BSA R10 SE Walnut HP Thumbhole .25

[dnovo]

In contrast to my last, high tech’ post I just picked a BSA R10 SE Walnut HP Thumbhole .25 up from AOA. about as old school elegant as you can get. Yep, it’s bolt action but unlike the older iteration Gamo sells as the Urban .22, a nice gun for the price, the R10s are still carefully put together at the BSA facility and the bolt is slick and precise. The wood stock (I believe it’s sourced from Minnelli in Italy) is a work of art standing aside from the rest of the finely finished gun. Old school at its best and a steal at $899 for the HP version at AOA. (I believe they have a non HP in .177 for $100 less.)

When I sold off the majority of my firearm collection, I kept a handful of those I thought were just too special to part with. One of those was my Lee-Speed in .303. These were built by BSA on Lee Enfield actions but hand crafted, engraved and with select wood. This R10 has the same look and feel. I think I have found another keeper.

Now, get the Huma Air internal moderator for it. It will be whisper quiet. I have one on my R10 and Scorpion Multi-shot.

I’m surprised BSA hasn’t added a carbon bottle yet. Best Fittings sells them with an extension so that you don’t have to dremel out the inside of stock to fit the larger bottle neck.

This gun and the Daystate Revere above in another post are the way airguns should look in my opinion. If I keep reading about them going to have to buy one or the other.

When I used to shoot with Ken Hicks, he had an R10 that he modified to use a 480 cc CF bottle. It's not too difficult. Main thing is you will have to grind away some of the wood to clear it.

Why not both?

True, but the bull barrel shroud and internal baffles will amaze you at just how quiet this little beauty can be in a suburban backyard setting. It shortens the length of the rifle substantially.

I have both and love them both. To keep it more interesting I bought the .20 cal Huntsman to go along with my .177 R10. Both are beautiful, traditional wood and steel tack drivers.
