Ripley elite from wighill guns

[TomSteebs]

just an up date a month in - no fluctuation on accuracy still pellet on pellet at 40 mtrs , definently likes jsb 452's , excellent hunters rifle with the carbine length , had a shot on shot comp with my steyr 110 this week and the groups were just as tight,

with the silencer fitted it has to be one of the quietest guns out there , the largest sound when you fire the gun is the hammer striking and the push back against the bolt.

tried different fill pressures with the chamber being able to take 300psi , but it does prefers a 200 - 215 fill pressure for consistency

thats good to hear, i phoned up ripley asking whether they new the cylinder capacity which nobody knows on earth. i have worked it out to be 280cc by the way. but anyway, ripley said that it was basically a rubbish gun

i am yet to shoot mine as as soon as i bought it, it decided to rain and be as windy as chicago.

what silencer do you use?

only ask as i use a twink mk2 and its okay but i reacon it could be quieter....

Tom ,

i use the hogun decimater , as in the review

[TomSteebs]

aah okay, the hogan is know where near as quiet as the twink on mine.

i shot my elite today and am please to report it is a pleasure to shoot, i got a very large rabbit, the biggest i've ever shot (heavier than the ripley elite kitted out!) and a crow, not bad at all for using some non tested pellets and a average scope...

i would definately reccommend this gun....

[minicarlo]

my ripley elite is shooting perfectly. no problems what so ever. would put it up against any other rifle

ripley would never rubbish a rifle that had there name on it. sour grapes comes to mind

What is the backup likely to be for spares, maintenance, etc?

[TomSteebs]

jim hogan is the man with the blueprints for spares so he should be able to make up parts.

servicing should be available from any rfd/gunsmith as its a fairly simple gun.

i shot plenty with it and standing shots are very easy to keep stable (compared to- r-10, s-10, hw97, hw100, whisper x, bam40, discovery, prairie cs) it's a superb rifle

do you have any pictures of it , years ago i had a riply ar4 which i thought was a beautifull gun.

found this today, i can send scanned copies if fee's to cover postage... but you can read from THIS

[TomSteebs]

by the way everyone who is looking for a very light gun with extremely good handling, which is quiet and short aswell as having 100 consistant shots per fill. then look at this. it only weighs 2.8kg

thats about the same as an s200 or bsa scorpion but over twice the shot count
