I was thinking, with that kind of weight, that's not a rifle but a cannon ;-)

With all the plastic coming out these days, these were a breath of fresh air. What stunners!

For me that was the most interesting review for ages AND at last an English reviewer who bothers to test for muzzle energy down range. I’ve always had an FAC in the cabinet - currently a Wildcat but I did have an R10 blue printed and it was amazingly accurate 177. The .25 intrigues me and I had a springer (sub 12) some years ago but the choice of pellets was far too small for me to be sure I was getting the best out of the gun. I’ve been a fan of BSA guns since my first Airsporter in the 1960’s and I’m really tempted by an R10 sub 12 or FAC. In sub 12 the .25 carries a thump that flattens anything in the way of pests in a barn but without over penetration and the danger of damaging roofs etc. Great review Andy.

Gadzooks a nearly 400 kg gun. Must be that black pepper. Heard it's heavy stuff.. awesome looking rifles though and splendid video as always

Congratulations Andy on your new Laminate stock. It was great seeing the inner kid come out on this episode.

Andy - a really good review. Its all about horses for courses. No air rifle does everything - know what you want it to do then select the rifle that does what you need it to do. Love the channel and look forward to more of the like.

Good morning Andy, 🙏 really loved the show today . 😀 packed full of information 👌 . You carnt go wrong buying a BSA rifle .... You shot very well today . I have a r10 in my collection, and yes I love ❤ it . You're new signs are trick . Thank you Simon from York England 🇬🇧 ... shoot safe

Definitely not daft loving bolt action Andy. I've had the privilege of firing some early 20th century bolt action rifles and every time I use my rifle it takes me back to firing those mesmerising pieces of engineering. Your passion is one of the reasons your videos are so great and enjoyable.

I am the proud owner of the Gammo Phox (BSA) and also the R10 TH, both in 2.2 and I absolutely love using them both. I very much enjoy your AAR on air Andy, keep up the great work.

Hi Andy, preaching to the converted, I have an R10TH and would never give it up. Open up the case, it always makes me smile as it is beautiful to look at let alone use. Interesting review for me concerning the accuracy of pelletsvslugsvweights which has convinced me that my .22 version is right for me and paper targets. Thanks for yet another interesting review. Stay safe.

Great icing on the cake in anticipation for my R10s arrival in 2 days, thanks to you and your review on it.!

A superb in depth review. Thank you for all the work you put into making this video, it was definitely worth it 👍 Not a Cal. I would need but so very fascinating and educational. I’ve been a hobby shooter for well over twenty years but I’ve learnt so much since watching your programmes. Roll on next Friday 😁

Absolutely beautiful looking rifle, especially the stock. The best I've ever seen. Very reliable workmanship.

You haven't seen the HW100 kt laminate stock then.

Another fabulous,and very interesting review. Thank you Andy and team.

LOVE your 'field ' chat...*mind you, I love the stuff your write and read in the studio...buttt* like your more informal banter on the range ! keep up the awesome videos and thank you very much for the valuable insight into the various airgun 'stuffs'!

The grey stock is 🔥🔥🔥😍💯 The energy retention on the 33.95s is impressive and leaves me with a lot more confidence at distances out to 100 yards. I push them at 900 FPS in my LCS and they are very accurate as well. Gotta try the Grizzly rounds soon. Great information. Thank you.

Ive had numerous airguns over the years. Always loved my BSA products .... Had the R10 in pepper stock and Ultra SE. Both great fun, especially the Ultra. Never had issues with any gun though. Great review by the way.

Andy, one of your best videos to date, you are becoming one of our top Air Rifle video producer's, well done.! Southampton UK 🇬🇧

Id take a .22 fac over a .25 any day , just use a nice 25 grn .22 pellet at around 45 fpe and you have the power you need and you get the bonus of a flatter .177 flight characteristics .

Great episode, I love BSA. Unfortunately no supplies bringing them into Canada anymore ☹️

Have a R10(th), after watching the AAR(on air) review, just would like to say a big Thankyou to Andy for his very accurate review, and iam now really enjoying my BSA R10(th).👌🏼👍

Big thumbs up for the audio quality! 30 minutes review i wish it was an hour long, keep it up!

Had a fantastic Mk2 R10 for 5 years (it did go back to the factory from new with a barrel issue but was pellet on pellet afterward) however replaced with an older Mk2 R10 150th anniversary edition with a beautiful stock in 2020. The Reg gave up after 2 mags so I sent back to BSA for a new reg which I was fine with given the gun was 9 years old. However once it returned it did not shoot as I expected (nowhere near my other R10) but given my previous experience didn’t believe BSA to be at fault and proceeded to troubleshoot and try 10+ popular pellets. I even took it to a shop who chono’d it and said it was fine however I chrono’d it at a separate place months later after more inconclusive testing and it had serious reg problems. By this point the new reg was out of warranty (lockdown delayed testing). It’s since been back to BSA twice and is still not correct, it’s a shame as I also want it to be the last gun in my collection. Worth noting I have also owned a Defiant and have a first edition CLX and BSA mk1 meteor in the collection still so it’s not easy for me to be frustrated with BSA.

USA owner here. Love my BSA R10th .22 FAC! 50-yard grouping with JSB jumbo Heavy Diablos is less than 1-inch. Slugs like JSB jumbo monsters don’t fly straight. Only problem with my R10, wish I had the walnut stock. I have black pepper laminate and the stock is a bit too glossy.

The more I watch you review BSA air rifles, the more jealous I get that I don't have one! Great review Andy, you definitely enjoyed this one!

Morning Andy, Another great show as usual I've had my R10mkII for a long time now and like you say they just keep working. Mine is used for the hunting side of things and for target I use my M3 however I don't use the BSA scope as I like to be able to get a little closer view so I use the Vector optics scopes, Which in my opinion are great value and very clear optics. Keep up the good work promoting the sport because gun shops seem to be disappearing, My local one here in Berkshire is closing down which is a shame as they have been here for over 50 years.

That is indeed eye candy, also have an R10 and its amazing and can easily produce a tight group of touching shots at 50m, the gun's accuracy far exceeds my ability.

Fabulous video and so enlightening,you are so appreciated for all your wonderful work for our sport👍

An R10 is definitely on the dream list!

When you have got the "Please" bit working it would be a great master class for all of us , of how to get this to work domestically 🤣 great review thanks

Great review as always and like you, my .177 Ratworked R10 is my absolute favourite and I wouldn't swap it for anything!

Morning Andy, Brilliant show as always.

Always a great channel to watch and thanks 👍🏻

Great show as always, it not only the gun that sells but customer relations , also they have that heritage dating back to Second World War, as most shooters including myself I started with BSA back 40 plus years ago and had no problems with their guns then and it good to know that it has continued and as my dad used to say buy British buy quality keep it up BSA

Great video review Andy both rifles to me look like a fine piece of jewelry and shoot very well and I agree the Hades pellets are a perfect match. Cheers brother

Dang….good shooting Andy. Thanks for another fine review. I always like the vids where you demo some shooting.

Hi Andy I’ve watched a few vid’s now and have subscribed to the channel … my point being, is I watch, and before I no it’s finished … I have no knowledge about any of the airguns, but the narrative, enthusiasm & explanation, the time just fly’s by … thx & keep on making the videos …😃

Great review as usual. Love the black pepper finish and I am the lucky owner of a BSA 160th CLX in Black Pepper. Simply fabulous. Still on the look out for a decent scope for it though.

Hi Andy, Thank you for another great review. There's obviously a lot to think about when considering FAC. Alot of people think more power is the be all end all. However, like you said Andy, out at those distances, you've got wind age and accuracy and not the fore gone conclusion some people may think.

Fab comparison video. Thank you

Great vidio aar.i have a bsa r10 regulated and like you I've had no problems in the ten that I've had always had bsa guns since I was a kid they just fantastic.

Very good & informative video Andy...i appreciate the time you put into making these video's (being a you tuber myself)...all the best & shoot safe and straight ! Gordon.

I have a ratworks tuned bsa ultra in 25cal and its amazing. Produces 11.3-4ftlb with h@nftt at 19.9 grains and 11.6-7ftlb with jsb at 25 grain. 5p groups at 45m range with both using a pard 008lrf. I regularly head shoot crows etc at my permission at 47metre (barn roof). Drops corvids etc so hard.

Hi Andy, Thankyou for another fantastic air rifle review. I wasn't expecting it, so a lovely surprise. I love your humour, especially when you talked about having four air rifles, having had issues with all of them, their manufacturers' name beginning with D! No disrespect to anyone, it was just a lighthearted giggle. The fact is, few things in life run smoothly. When goods are made/manufactured, there's always the possibility of issues. I've had them myself. If we are lucky and the manufacturer takes on their responsibility to put things right, I think thats fair enough, and we can't ask for much more, although not the best scenario. I have been wondering about applying for FAC licence Andy, and have made up my mind with your review. I think I will stay as I am, and put all my energy into being as good as I can be with my sub 12ftlb and knowing where my .177 pellet is going to be at different distances. I think for me personally at this stage of my shooting, I would rather try and be much more accurate with what I am currently using, rather than jump in the oceans and not know where I am. I found your review, Andy, very helpful and your humour priceless, lol. I, too, think the BSA's are gorgeous and love the fact they are British and steeped in history. The black pepper stock looks gorgeous, absolutely fantastic, no question. However, I just couldn't be parted from my walnut. It would have to be parted from the death grips of my corpse, lol! Very best wishes, Andy, take care!

Great Review ! Thank you !

Thank you for very interesting and informative review. With a posable lead ban creeping up on us, it would have been Interesting to see how .25 lead free pellet performed in the sub 12 FP R10

Good stuff Andy, very informative.

I have been interested in how .25 would work in a FAC air rifle, so I found this video very interesting. A comparison of relative bullet (pellet) drop over distances would be interesting though.

I really enjoyed the video.. Thanks.. I have a Gamo Urban and I really enjoy shooting it, but I think these are definitely sweet looking..

I miss my R10, may have to save up and see about getting my fac ,and then see about the new R10, but in .22. Thanks for a great review.

That black pepper stock is gorgeous!

Great video as always, I would try some zan slugs in 177, they expand so so well

My sub12 R10 in .177 loves hades. It's all i use for pest control

I've never seen the benefit, overall, of a FAC air rifle here in the UK. A .22" lr rimfire is much, much cheaper, and if you don't need the, say, 100ftlb of a 40 grain round nose, try shorts. 30 ftlb with a 29 grain round nose. My Henry .22" underlever will hold 21 shorts, and the only issue for the hunter would be the inability to fit a moderator to it. Of course there's always a bolt action with threaded barrel for that. My experience with BSA air rifles in the sub 12ftlb category has been good, with my T-10 being a favourite, and my Tench regulated Ultra was a belter before, like a fool, I sold it. The older BSA's have served me well too, but alas my R-10 experience was one which I'd rather not like to experience again. I've been mulling over the idea of a .25" for a year or two, just because, well, it intrigues me, even in sub 12ftlb, with all the limitations it will have, such as the increased arc of trajectory and the lack of a good pellet choice. However, I won't be stretching to the price of an R-10.

@@andrewharris4940 ​ @andrew harris if you're going to turn it down too much, what's the point for the small stuff around a farm, at least here in the UK. Might as well stick to a good sub 12ftlb. In and around barns and the like I would think over penetration would be something to consider too, so again a sub 12lbft. Stretching out into the fields, over, say 35 to 40 yards, yes, an FAC would come into it's own, but in doing so it brings the rimfire back into reasoning. Shorts being of benefit, should the usual long rifle be too much.

Nice one Andy, keep them coming.

Zans slugs are really good and dood price. I use them in my hw 100 and my mate uses them in his fx impact. And another in his fx mav. So accurate

I like BSA I own 2 Ultras, .22 and 177. I also like that German make of air rifle that use the record trigger, I have 2 of those as well both are HW80’s in 177 and 22 I must be lucky as I have never experienced problems with these 4 rifles.

love my R10 in midnight blue

I have had my s410 for years and love it but time has come . The passion you have for this gun I have for mine but I think an r10 in .22 is comming to me very soon Thank you 😊 👍👍👍😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦕🦄😁✌🤞

I have the r10th in 22 12ft/b and it loves the hades grouping is pellet on pellet at 20mtrs really fancy the fac one now 👍

super looking rifles love your hobby

Lovely, thanks for showing them 👍👍👍 Wonder if my super 10 would fit that stock ???

Ah what’s up doc ! 🐇 looks like a winner love BSA . Thanks Andy !

Thanks Andy great review. I am in love with the stock, now to beg the wife haha. Keep up the Awesome Review Details are amazing

I agree with you on having a bolt action Andy. Andy are BSA guns very reliable and dependable as you say buddy. Because I might be interested in buying one some day.

Ahh I can only dream of such classy rifles anymore, but at least they can't put up the price of those dreams. Soo with you on the bolt action. Very Nice Andy keep the Great Content Flowing 👍👍

I want one after that review. I love that black pepper stock. 😍

Hi Andy. Really like your show. I also like the . bsa r10. Mine loves the .22 hades. I had mine tuned by the Ratworks when the regulator stopped working. It is like a laser beam now. I cannot believe how accurate it is. But my .177 bsa ultra shoots like a shotgun with the hades, very strange. Thanks again

A very insightful review for what I think are somewhat niche markets. BSA? Top quality at a reasonable price. I have two R10s - an old one updated with a HUMA regulator and a 160 Commemorative (smiley face).

Another Great Review Cheers Andy👍👍

Hi Andy did you send me a message to text you ??

That grey laminate stock is gorgeous. Maybe have to start saving up.

I have an R10 SE and love it, so accurate, so when I saw Ted's holdover shoot a fly on his target @30 . I had to try, let's say my fly won't be having any children in the future.

Andy, I've had an idea for yourself videos. If you could put your targets into a printer you could print the gun, pellet and range info on them so we always know what we're watching if we missed the info in your commentary. May be useful to you when editing your video as well. One more idea is at the end of each year you could post a slide show of the whole year's test targets so you can have some time off around Christmas from making time consuming content. Keep up the great work, I look forward to your videos every week.

Awesome vid

Brilliant shooting Andy ;-)

there's nothing like a long smooth bolt action 😍

Fabulous mate.

Wish I could get back into shooting, it’s been nearly 20 years since I last picked up a rifle for target shooting

You can get a decent New springer for around £150 if You look about , and there is an Hatsan springer which gets some excellent revues for around £100 or less if You shop around . Then there is always the second hand section in most Gun shops where bargains can be had if Your patient and selective .

Lovely guns

I NEEED one. Tho personally i prefere the regular wooden brown stock. Just give it a tiny bit of a touch of wood oil to get the grain to pop a touch more, and i'd be more than happy with it.

Dang those look nice!

Must be a typo in your script. About 5:10 in you quote weights of 300Kg + !!! Love the channel. Love the reviews. Stay safe shoot safe.

great review if only they had a side lever id buy one today

hi good review but with the lead free coming you could see how they would like none lead pellets i have a gamo phox and i love it keep up the good work m8

Best content on air rifles, not many channels have this kind of professionalism. Been around for quite some, you are my favorite youtuber on air rifles I really enjoy the videos. Lately I've been looking at air rifles to upgrade from my springer .177 Gamo hunter 1250 and I've gone from wanting to buy another break barrel, to wanting a fixed barrel, but looking at power and accuracy ending up to wanting pcp air rifles. I don't know what I should get. I like shooting at long distances, most pcp guns that I want are .22, I own a .177 break barrel and I want a bigger punch something like .25 or .30 that can make that 100yard distance. Any advice is much appreciated.

I love the dark look of that stock. I have a BSA ultra. And I have no reason to get a new Gunn. But if I ever do. It will 100 000000 % lol. Be an . BSA R10 👍

Informative , I love my 22 BSA scorpion 10 years old now and hit more with it than my new 177 reign , need to get used to it I suppose might try heavier 177 pellets ?

I have been enjoying you explanation on the right air rifle for the job, I learned to understand that too. I still wish my old Gamo Whisper Fusion was still usable, at 1300 Ft per second I couldn't find a scope that would last more than a 100 to 200 rounds. The combined recoil of a break over spring style would just ruin the scope! Including the BSA it came with and two additional Nikon target scopes I bought over time. Is there a scope able to stand up to the forces this pallet rifle exerts on them?

18:23 Yes it's pronounced 'pile arm', no doubt named after the BSA 'Piled Arms' logo. Another great review, I have an R10TH in .177 and an R10 SE in .22 and love them both.

What I miss in all vids are penetration tests with wood 6x4. If I would buy a PCP then penetration power on 25-100 meters is key. So .25 JSB Exact King Heavy MKII & Zan Slugs are the only ones I use 1000-1150 fps.

My theoben rapid .25 fac is a sweet rifle.

I know quite a few lads from a couple of the clubs I use have had trouble with there r10 with the power going up and down quite a lot and effecting the accuracy

It’s the regulator. Very well known problem I’m afraid. Glad to see Andy hasn’t had any issues but the regs are know as a ticking bomb that goes at some point. Replace the original with a Huma and it’s fixed. Real shame BSA won’t spend a few pounds more when building them as it would kill the issue dead.

Love you channel

Hi Andy another great video, any plans to review and test BSA Defiant. Thanks

Beautiful looking guns. I way prefer wooden stocks to something that looks like a Johnnie 7 gun.

Unfortunately it's seems everything quality has a price, but there is a price above quality where it is just bling not purpose, BSA/GAMO are the quality without being bling and its those that perform much better, and it's British. Lovely reveiw Andy.

Hi Andy if possible could you do a review on the .177 Rainson Edge please.

BSA and Gamo make fantastic rifles and guns. Anything made in volume is going to have a few duds. Gamo and BSA know and acknowledge these problems and resolve them immediately.

Loved bsa's from the airsporter underlever and the funny little breech loading flippy thing upto the r10... But if I bought the r10 sub 12 and then got my FAC would I have to buy a new gun (as with fx) or can a gunsmith adjust the power?

I will never sell my BSA ultra se and R12 laminate stock, I have a HW100 and as good as they are I still think the little ultra and R12 blind it. Also can't wait to receive my edgun leshiy 2 soon. I think it's the most fun gun on the market specially with the repeated shot count.
