Ripley elite from wighill guns

[minicarlo]

thats good to hear, i phoned up ripley asking whether they new the cylinder capacity which nobody knows on earth. i have worked it out to be 280cc by the way. but anyway, ripley said that it was basically a rubbish gun

i am yet to shoot mine as as soon as i bought it, it decided to rain and be as windy as chicago.

what silencer do you use?

only ask as i use a twink mk2 and its okay but i reacon it could be quieter....

ripley would never rubbish a rifle that had there name on it. sour grapes comes to mind

What is the backup likely to be for spares, maintenance, etc?

jim hogan is the man with the blueprints for spares so he should be able to make up parts.

servicing should be available from any rfd/gunsmith as its a fairly simple gun.

i shot plenty with it and standing shots are very easy to keep stable (compared to- r-10, s-10, hw97, hw100, whisper x, bam40, discovery, prairie cs) it's a superb rifle

by the way everyone who is looking for a very light gun with extremely good handling, which is quiet and short aswell as having 100 consistant shots per fill. then look at this. it only weighs 2.8kg

thats about the same as an s200 or bsa scorpion but over twice the shot count
