Hw100k vs rat works bsa r10

[ian321]

What would you prefer out of these two? I have always loved the hw100 and had serval over the years. Never had a r10 but I would consider a tuned one

I've got a HW100, lovely rifle accurate and point able.
However, I still have a hankering for a laminate stocked R10SE super carbine, but reports of barrel and regulator issues are off putting though.
A ratworks tuned (or bowket blueprinted) one should solve the regulator issues.

+ 1 For a J Bowkett blueprint & reg change £200-250ish. My se barrel didn't need changing after his re-crowning/tuning work, even though he said it may need changing beforehand (lucky 4 me it didn't) ! Very honest fella and easy to talk with on the phone. Don't forget he designed to rifle for bsa too

I have HW100 KT untouched and a BSA r10 XTX air tuned both great rifles.

And your preference?
Accuracy?

[Jonjon79]

Both very good rifles but, being honest, I'd stick with the HW100 - It just feels more slick and solid.

R10 for me, very low shot count on the hw,

[Chubster]

MK2 R10. Buy second hand and try before you buy. Great shot count, very accurate and not pellet fussy. Had mine 18 months, thousands of pellets through it and never had any issues. If you buy a good one it doesn’t need tuning. Maybe I have just been lucky as there are some unreliable ones about.

Hi,

I have an untouched HW101 and an R10 that's had a HUMA reg fitted along with a few other bits by Rancid Tom.

In terms of accuracy, when I shoot from a bench there's hardly anything in it, but when shooting LSR I get better scores with the R10, just because it's a more comfortable fit.


Cheers,



Mark.

Had both but still have HW100k

[Lightning1981]

Had both sold the hw 100 and kept the r10. Reg failed at 4 years old so it got a bit of love from airtech with a stage 2 tune and it’s sooooo much nicer than out the box.

Hi not a lot between them had the tune done a the regulator packed up in the R10 .
