    Nice new rifle....

    Well nearly 48, Mary decided to buy me a .177 to replace the ones that had to go when things were tighter than a fishes backside! So what to buy? Well I was impressed by the BSamo Phox I got myself before Christmas, so we went BSamo again.

    This time it is the Scorpion derived model, the Coyote. So without further ado, feast thine eyeballs on this little beauty!



    I know it has a synthetic stock, but the wooden stock requires a hand the size of a gorilla's to make the span from pistol grip to trigger, the synthetic is much better designed, besides I have a wooden stocked Fenman.

    They are about the £400 mark! I have test fired it to check power, has the same trigger as the Phox, so used to it. Nice crisp break, not as good as a Rekord, but not bad either! Accuracy is yet to be tested!

    It looks almost identical to the BSA Ultra XL. I handled one at the shooting show, very nice but with that one they should make the cheek piece wood too. What's the shot count on your new toy?

    Like you I found the shape of the synthetic nicer but I didn't like the synthetic material!! Such a bummer they don't do a dedicated R/H wood version the same shape as the synthetic. If they did I'd have bought an ultra but instead I bought an R10
    Good selling ploy by beeza there

    We don't hear much about the Coyote.
    Launched at the same time as the Rotex which got the publicity.

    But I think that's because it is a good gun?

    I would be very interested in hearing your comparison of the phox and coyote. Are they much of a muchness or is one better than the other?
    Cheers
