    I never had the 96 but had a couple of 32s. It would make sense that the 32 is better as he was refining the design; be odd to go backwards. Can't remember why I sold my last 32 but I wouldn't mind another.

    I was wondering how reliable the magazine is compared to the plastic crap ones on my my r32 myself?

    Had 5/6 skins at one point from the Mk1 through to the R32 only one I kept was a mk2 96 shot deluxe, yes the r32 has the buddy bottle but I always like the friend cocking over the grip cocking

    The L2 is the model with a 15"barrel aint it? I had a limited edition skan superior mk2 . Bought in 2001. Swapped it many years ago. To nice a gun to use so spent most of its life in the cabinate. Id not but a limited model again after that.

    The magazines worked fine for me. What I would say and I was told by Skan when purchasing to use the probe and seat the pellets properly in the magazine. The only thing I remember about the mags was there were some pellets that you couldn't use as I think they were too long. I remember the trigger being a fairly clunky affair but it was still a nice rifle to own and shoot.
