Not an easy answer and all three are great rifles out of the box, and all as accurate as each other. You'll get more shots per charge from the R10, but the other two would probably be a little easier to carry out in the field if you are using them for hunting, although the R10 is not too heavy, having said that. Magazine count will be the same for all three, so no differences there either. At the end of the day this one will come down to personal preferences. I would say go to your local dealer and ask them to let you hold and shoulder each. At this point I think you'll fall in love with one of them. Happy shooting.

You don't need to glue it back on because it is threaded, so you could just screw it back on. Once the action is back in the stock its not going to come off anyway.. If its hard to unscrew initially you'll just need to heat it up to melt any glue holding it and when off just clean any remnants of the glue off the threads.

If you go FAC it makes sense to go with a bigger pellet. The .25 will easily buck the wind, but the .22 has a bigger choice of projectiles. The .177 with normal pellets will be great upto 15 ft/lbs, but the more power you want the closer to the speed of sound the pellets will get, affecting accuracy, so you'd need to go upto about 16 grains, or use slugs, which would be OK for 20 + foot pounds. Sub 12 ft/lbs remain accurate because they don't break the sound barrier in .177. I have shot both .22, .25 and .30 Daystates and Brococks at the club at full power when testing them for Daystate and they really do make a difference. A .25 will be pellet on pellet at 50 yards and flat out to 70 yards, even in strong winds, achieving between 45 and 55 foot pounds of energy so that is what I would go with, although you have .22 pellets that weigh upto 33 grains, so that would still get the job done. At the end of the day its up to you.

After watching your video I got the courage to attempt to adjust the hammer spring and I was surprised to find that not only was the end cap NOT glued in place, but it was so loose it was ready to fall off. What do you make of this? Was the factory adjustment skipped on my rifle?? Your thoughts........

Maybe they didn't use locktite after screwing it back on. As long as you have a chronograph to keep an eye out on the power you should be OK. If it happens to be a loose fit, you can always put a bit of thread lock on it to stop it falling off, but I think the stock will keep it in place from falling completely off.

It all depends on where the power is currently. Anywhere from a half turn to One and a Half turns. I usually test with JSB Hades or Bisley Magnum to no more than 11.8 ft/lbs. By doing this the rifle shouldn't go over the legal limit with anything else. Doing this with a 8.44 grain pellet would mean that the Bisley Magnum and JSB Hades would be close to 13 ft/lbs.

Look at the video from about 2 min 18 seconds. You have to use heat the melt the locktite on the end cap. Inside you will then see a washer with a piece cut out on either side to fit a large flat screwdriver in and turn it clockwise to increase the power, or anti clockwise to lower the power. Make sure you have a good chronograph to check you don't go over the legal limit of the Country you are in, if it has power restrictions.

I put the gun through a FX Chrono and found the power had dropped to under 9 lbs ft , having watched your video i decided to attempt the adjustment process, managed to get the cap off with a little heat and found the slotted screw inside, decided to gradually screw in quarter turn at a time then checking with the chrono as i went, the results have left me scratching my head, the power has dropped and is less than when i started no matter how far i turn the screw inwards, I just wanted to ask if you may have any thoughts or advice on this. Many Thanks keep up the great videos.

Yes, this means that the regulate pressure is too low, and the air volume in the plenum is all you have. I haven't adjusted my regulator on the R10, but it's always best to a little more than required so you can adjust up or down by fine tuning the hammer spring. This has happend to me in the past. Most tuners will usually open up the transfer port, which makes for more efficiency and power, allowing for lower pressure on the regulator to get more shots. It's then a matter of balancing the regulator and hammer spring for the desired result. If you go to XTX Air, or Robert Lane KZitem page they have put information and videos on for tuning various rifles. BSA are one of the most tuned brands. Phil Crampton of the Ratworks is also very helpful. He can advise, or do any work for you, and he's a good tuner when it comes to BSA. He's based in Leicestershire.

@@GSwton Not sure, because the rifle belonged to John Kemp who had it done at the time. I purchased it off of John when he was selling his rifles down to ill health. At the end of the day it would all depend on what pellet Phil tuned the rifle with, as different pellets give different results. I have tuned it with Daystate 10.3 grain, which are probably one of the most efficient. It was around 10.5 before I tuned it up a bit, but that is easy enough to do once you remove the cap and adjust the hammer screw adjuster. Phil will tune it to whatever you ask, and whatever pellet you want, so each rifle is custom tuned at the end of the day. 11.5 is the highest that most custom tuners will go with their most efficient pellet, as they have to cater for new pellets and whatever the law may test them with. The 12 ft/lbs law came out in 1968 when most rifles would struggle to go above 10 ft/lb as springers, so they went for 12 ft/lbs as a buffer. Who would have known how efficient air rifles would get with PCPs. Shame we didn't go to 15 or 20 like some of the others in Europe. Tony Belas told me this. It all came about when some idiot was shooting at cars on the M1 with a benjiman 20 ft/lbs pump up rifle, otherwise we wouldn't have been restricted.

Hello! I have a Gamo GX40 in which you can adjust the hammer spring. I have no interest in shooting pellets as they are very depending on speed for their stability. My main interest is shooting bullets and slugs for my caliber, I've noticed that the faster slugs go the more precise they get, I think this has to do with the fact that they are stabilized by the rifled barrel more than the cone-shape of regular pellets, is there a way I can tune my Gamo GX40 (BSA Bucaneer really) beyond manufacturer specification so I can get some speed behind my slugs? I have a variety of slugs, the one I like right now is the Piledriver from H&N, this is an extremely hard hitting slug that reminds me more of a firearm than an air rifle in terms of damage delivered, but my Gamo GX40 doesn't seem to be powerful enough to really deliver the speed that I seem to have found out that they like. I haven't tuned my hammer spring tension to max.
@airgunsniper-elite7385

If you live in the US i expect your rifle is delivering around 25 ft/lbs and probably has a longer barrel than in the UK to create extra muzzle velocity. An air rifle is tuned in the factory to the power restrictions of a particular country. In the UK we tend to have shorter barrels and smaller transfer ports in the barrel, valve and block of the rifle, plus a less powerfull spring. For those without power restrictions the easiest way to increase efficiency is to increase the size of the transfer port holes and put a heavy spring in the rifle. If they are also regulated they have a larger plenum and larger air capacity set on the regulator. So as you can see it's not all about hammer spring, but the easiest way to increase power is to have the maximum size of transfer ports to make the air more efficient. If you check out Robert Lanes videos he explains this. Different calibres also have different sized transfer ports which are calibre specific. too big a hole will have an opposite effect, but normally the larger the calibre, the larger the hole required. If you are shooting slugs, not all slugs shoot the same, so you may find a slug will work in your rifle that does not need such a high velocity as the next slug. I have found that in .177 the 13 grain Pro Hunters don't seem to mind low power air rifles and will happily shoot at 640 ft/p/s, or 11.8 ft/lbs. In .22, although I haven't tried them the new Daystate Howler slugs may work well. If you look at some of the Roger Lait videos he tests slugs through a Daystate RedWolf and FX Impact with some interesting results with different brands of slugs. Every barrel is different, even in the same rifle, so it will be down to trial and error while testing. A lot of the slug manufacturers will offer sample packs. H&N do it and so do Pro Hunter. If you Gamo has no adjustment for the hammer spring you can pack it with washers, but if you live in the UK, unless you have an FAC, you should definitely use a chronograph unless you want to fall fowl of the law. Good luck with it.
