BSA R10 MK2 Magazine — 10-Shot Capacity
The 10-shot rotary magazine is the R10 MK2’s key feature. The magazine sits flush in the action and feeds pellets reliably. You can fire 10 shots before reloading. This is a significant advantage for pest control and target shooting. The magazine is easy to load and remove for cleaning. Spare 10-shot magazines are available separately, and we recommend buying extras for extended shooting sessions.
BSA R10 MK2 Problems — Honest Owner Feedback
The R10 MK2 has received constructive owner feedback on UK airgun forums. The most common issue reported is the pellet probe being stiff to operate, especially when the rifle is new. Using standard domed pellets such as JSB Exact or H&N Field Target Trophy resolves most feeding issues. Some owners have reported that the moderator adapter can come loose, causing accuracy issues. On the positive side, owners consistently praise the R10 MK2 for its accuracy, shot count, and smooth side lever. One owner called the R10 MK2 “a brilliant British PCP”. Another said it was “accurate, consistent, and a pleasure to shoot”.
BSA R10 MK2 Accuracy — What Owners Achieve
The R10 MK2 produces excellent accuracy with the right pellet choice. The BSA cold hammer-forged barrel is legendary for its accuracy. Owners recommend JSB Exact, H&N Field Target Trophy, and Air Arms Diabolo Field pellets. One owner reported sub-1-inch groups at 40 yards with JSB Exact pellets. Another owner achieved consistent results at 50 yards with H&N FTT pellets. The regulated action provides consistent shot-to-shot performance. The adjustable trigger contributes to the rifle’s accuracy.
