Limited Edition Air Arms RSN70 Air Rifle

Im rating this 5 stars all the way through. Not that its particularly value friendly, but this is an Limited Edition, so value is relative. LOL. I figue when you purchase something like this, you do so because of the uniqueness, couples with desire to own, and available resources. So the value is strictly subjective to the individual. Now, that being said, heres my impressions. This is an Amazing pellet rifle. Yes, it shouts sub 12ft/lbs, British Specks, but it is everything one could want in a target rifle. Yes, I plan on shooting it regularly, why would I not? LOL. This is based on the HFT 500, or vice versa, and let me tell you, accuracy is wonderful. I was using 8.44 jsb at 30 yards and all I had was a 1/4 inch hole in 20 shots. This is an HFT rifle, through and through, with the beautiful accoutrements of the lacquering and leather work, custom machining etc. I just wish that the US had european style HFT readily available, I would certainly use this rifle in it.

The one thing i would change, the air gauge. I know it's cool, and the gas gauge theme is really great, but I like to see how much pressure. But that is me being practical for a second, LOL

This rifle is also very quiet. No issues there and no need for extra suppression.

I would definitely say that I would recommend this to others, however, there are none to be had. So in that vein, I would also recommend the HFT 500 as there should be similar if not identical performance.

I will say, much to some chagrin, I'm sure, that I do plan on shooting this regularly. It may hurt the collector value, but honestly, why by a Bentley Continental GTC, just to park in in the garage forever under a tarp and never drive it. That would just be criminal. LOL

If your looking for sub 12 ft/lbs HFT type rifle, this is the one, or at least the HFT 500, LOL.

This has to be one of the finest and rarest air rifles ever built. There were only 70 made and of those only ten in the US

Despite the incredible finish it did have a small flaw that was barely visible to the eye but noticeable because the flaw was right under the thumb of a right handed shooter. Due to the fact that there simply are no more for sale at any price I elected to live with the flaw.

I have not shot this rifle yet but intend to. Due to the design it will have tone refilled pretty often. It is also a standard dove tail scope mount which to be like they are a little light weight.

It really is a work of art. I did put about 50 shots thru it before putting it away. It's not a daily driver. Not that it couldn't handle being shot endlessly day after day. It's a collector piece. And for the price should be used more as a Sunday driver. And this rifle can drive pellet on pellet.

The fake leather case and pamphlet holder is kind of cheap. It should be real leather for this kind of money. Really that is the only fault as far as I am concerned.
