    My BSA R-10 SE came in a few days ago .177 super carbine Minnelli Walnut stock with a Hawke Panorama 5-15×50 AO 10× ½ Mil Dot scope, I put about 50 shots through the rifle today zeroing in the scope what a fantastic accurate little rifle 40yds 10 shots all in a grouping of about 5mm, all british made including the barrel, I'll be using the rifle for small critter hunting with my Bedlington Terriers mostly Rabbits Rats and Squirrels.

    Freddie,

    What was that air rifle that I was privileged to be able to shoot when I was at your home last summer? Also what does it weigh??
