BSA Defiant owners view ?

[les allam]

After the post that TonyL put up a few days ago regarding the Bsa Defiant on the AAR podcast.
And the gun being heavily discounted in price, I was thinking about getting one.
Are there any owners on here who have one ?, if yes,what are your thoughts on the gun,good or bad ?.
Only those that have 1st hand experience need to reply.
Thanks in advance.

you might have to wait a while as I doubt many were sold so far Les.

Thanks for the reply.
The gun dates back to 2018, when it was first introduced.
I would have thought at least a couple of members on here would have got one.?
I remember seeing it briefly at the shooting show at the time,but I haven’t seen one in the flesh since.

Being honest here, I thought it was too expensive at near on £1100 .
But at £500 it’s a bit more agreeable ��.

That was my thought when I watched the review

Yes he didn’t sit on the fence with his assessment of the Defiant.
I’m not that bothered regarding the looks of the gun.
I have enough show pony rifles to look at with admiration ldgrin.
If the Defiant can take a Huma reg ?,that is what I will fit if I get one.
I thought I was finished with wanting another pcp rifle,especially after selling 6 guns over the last 3 years.

I think it's a fantastic price reduction.

Don't know what the reaction has been to the AAR Review but Pellpax (who are advertising them at £467) no longer seem to have any just now ...

At that price £467. I thought it was worth a try.
Like I said earlier,the original price of the gun when it came out probably put a lot of people off.
The weight of the gun for some would be an issue, but being a bullpup the weight is close to your body and would be better for stability ( for me anyway) on unsupported shooting.
