They seem to be highly thought of in GB (well made and accurate) but other than seeing a few pictures, I know nothing about this gun. Has anyone here ever owned or used one in FT? They seem to be pretty rare on this side of the pond. Uj
Who knows about the Ripley AR5?

Uglyjohn,
I believe if you get in touch with Tyler Patner, I believe that he has 2 Ripleys. I also seem to remember that David Slade has one as well.

Never owned but have fired a couple.
And I could well be off base here, just what I recall.
Glancing at the internet right now , well I dont know so just what I heard from owners.
The older ripley's were outstanding, a rig that could easily when a championship with any good shooter. Reliable to a fault , expect to not need so much as an oring for 10+ years.
It may have been around 2005 a person would no longer wish to purchase a current year model, just somehow not the same rig. Something about a major maunfactoring change ( location ? Personal ? Other?
Perhaps someone has better info on this time period/change?
In general truly outstanding target rifles that wont let you down.

Unfortunately the gun that caught my interest was listed by a private party in GB. I've since learned that their laws make it extremely difficult (impossible?) to sell and ship AGs outside their country. Too bad because they seem to have a lot of older target guns listed at attractive prices. Oh well........... Uj

John, John,
"IT IS RIGHT HANDED" you must be a 10% er ??? I was offered a WRONG HANDED Air Arms TX SR yesterday Hell, I had sold it because it was WRONG, Recycling back to me NO!
I shot 58% Sunday, Balances very nice. I threw some dope together Saturday night with fudging the speed to match test shots was still a little high. I need to settle on a rifle at a time .
my shooting buddy Kelly aced the range with a Daystate CR97 48/48 100% He wanted to shoot the Rip he got two out of three hits on 1 1/2 at 50 with my dope. so I am close already
I think Ripley is a keeper. really cute.

One of the Atlanta Airgun guys has this one as I recall he won that day but I think he has since went to a Thomas. If it had been a beauty contest he would have won that also. I can’t speak for all of them but that one shoots great.
nice rifle
