I think that the problem with the R10 is that BSA used the public as Quality Control .
As I picked my R10 up from the RFD , the BSA rep was actually there .
" Great choice "he said " you'll have no problems with that "
" Give me your mobile number , just in case " I said .
He wouldn't.
I got home , filled the rifle and went to the range . I got 8 shots .
I returned home checked the rifle on my dive bottle , still full , got 8 more shots .
The rifle spent 3 weeks at BSA , came back exactly the same and was traded in.
I will never buy another BSA.
