BSA R10, Scorpion, Ripley XL9 @55 yards.

[New to 223]

I don't get to shoot the air rifles much anymore, too busy foxing with the small centrefires.

It was such a lovely evening I thought I'd give them a blast.

55 yards, 10 shot groups.

Not exceptional I know, but gee it was good fun.

Rifles are, (L-R) BSA scorpion, BSA R10, Ripley Rifles XL9.

.22 cal, JSB Exact jumbo heavy.

Just tap on the pic for a better look.

Nice collection and there all shooters.

Like the Ripley, another gun that fly's under the radar.

Out of the three, which would you pick if you could only have one?

The Ripley is in another league, bespoke with a waiting list as long as your arm, a rifle with the best 2 stage trigger I have ever used.The action is like a hot knife through butter.

For practicallity, has to be the R10, lighter, shorter and more pointable.

I shoot the Ripper off the bench or sticks so it's no real drama.

I picked up a new Scorpion last Friday, havent shot it yet, but hope it shoots as good as that

.22 or .177 ?

177

I have an R10 in .177, it shoots superb with JSB Exacts.

I only shoot groups with it late evening or early morning when there's no wind.

If you find the trigger on the Scorpion has some creep ( which mine did ), i recommend you look at a video by Darrin who runs XTX air.

I followed his instructional video on mine and its made a world of difference.

Let me know how you go, i'm interested in how it shoots.

[mrwoospigs]

Gave my Scorpion a really good work out today
Dam it shoots nice
Average group size over 35m was 10 to 12mm
Best was 8 out of 10 shots in the red dot on a 6in target, other 2 just touching it.
Thanks for the advice Matt

Have you done the trigger or was it ok out of the box ?

[mrwoospigs]

Actually like the standard trigger better than both my Wineracks.
This is my first PCP so dont know what better is yet.
