BSA R10 MK2 .177

[Dairyboy]

All I can say is WOW. Ever since I saw these guns I knew I wanted one. Decided to get rid of some guns to purchase this and I'm very happy I did. It looks great but I had something else in mind with the shroud. While it worked fairly well for a .177 I had a Neil Clague that I wanted to use on it and is quite a bit quieter now. The gun is also not pellet picky which is great. I only have 3 pellets but all 3 are capable of sub MOA if I do my part. The black wrap stock is great and exactly what I wanted. With a rubbery texture it's perfect for my hunting situations. Perfect comb height on the stock it's just a gun that fits me very well. Magazines are pretty easy to use and I like the lock in mechanism. Bolt cycles smoothly with not much tension and the trigger is very very good as well. Only a few gripes about it and that's simply with a bipod attached I can not refill it as the probe hole is too close to the bipod to fit. Also using medium height rings and my 44mm bell scope it can not fit with the shroud. Luckily it didn't matter to me as I didn't want the shroud anyways. So those are very minor issues but over all I'm absolutely thrilled with this gun!!





This is my first 10 shots with the gun with 8.4 JSB


All groups shot at 25yds and didn't even clean the barrel since I got it.

One 10 shot group and a 5 shot with 10.3 AA (don't mind the single that was adjusting my scope)


2 more 5 shot groups with 10.3 AA


A 5 shot group with 8gr Polymags


3 5 shot groups this morning left 10.3 AA middle 8.4 JSB right 8gr Polymags

Congrats!! Looks like you got a shooter. The R10 is a very nice gun that doesn't seem to get the attention it should in my opinion. I have never owned one myself, but have shot a couple of them and was very impressed.

 

[Dairyboy]

Thanks! I definitely agree with that I think there underestimated for sure. I am really enjoying it so far have hunted with it today already and just a great shooter and very very comfortable to shoot. I love Mrods and although they can be made really nice I do have to admit this is just a totally different class of air rifle.

Congratulations on the r10 another happy owner !
I bought my first pcp in may the BSA R1O MK2 in .22.
I am amazed at how accurate it is . I love this gun !
So much fun , I have a power pole 84 yards from my driveway that starlings seem to love , my r10 consistently drops them off that pole from the hood of my truck ! So satisfying !
You'll find the more you shoot the better it gets.
Again congrats and enjoy !

Thanks I'm really enjoying it so far! I wish I would've gotten it sooner.

Congrats!! Those guns have been on my list for years. If the new super carbine comes state side I'll definitely have one.

I think it would have been spooky quiet with a Reflex style LDC on it, the BSA's are not that hard to tame and with the right attachment they can be made really quiet! Neil.

 

[Dairyboy]

Do you do Reflex styles over the barrel with no shroud? Might be something I'm interested later on. I did throw it on with the shroud for fun and it sounded like there was no air left in the gun unbelievably quiet!!

 

[NeilClague]

Yes I do,I make them all the time, otherwise I would not have mentioned it. If you put the shroud back on and use a Reflex style with the shroud it would help you keep the overall length down. But whatever you do the BSA's can be made extremely quiet, Neil.

 

[Dairyboy]

Great to know I will keep it in mind for sure.

Nice setup Dairyboy. I was just wondering whether the stock's inlet is also coated, or is it just the exterior portion of the stock?

 

[Dairyboy]

Been gone for 2 weeks but I'll let you know on the inlet. I believe it is done but I'll check

I've had my R10 mk2 .22 for a wile now and love it!. Longest shot I've made so far is 96yds on a small bird. Haven't got to do much hunting with it yet but hopefully I will soon. It's an amazing gun.
