Sell them all and get a second hand Theoben Rapid 7 ive had mine near on 20yrs and its still going strong never a days problem bought from the Airguncentre.co.uk its had thousands of pellets through it. Money well spent and you get 300 shots not 30 or 40... new isnt always better.
All mine are .177 and yesterday I was consistanly hitting 10pences at 55yds with my 400.
@ Tony I've gone through these to find one I'm completely satisfied with.
Next I would like an Airarms 410 carbine to modify for hunting.

Went into the gunsmiths and had a good play with all three. Even got him to pass them to me with my eyes closed so I didn't know which one I was getting, to see how they felt:
- Daystate: lovely thing but just didn't quite sit right, think I'd want to raise the rib
- R10: best stock for me, but the forestock is way too short for my tastes, and I don't want to be holding it by the bottle
- HW100: great fit, just right.
So I've walked out with a nice shiny HW-100S. How I would be very grateful if it would JUST FLIPPIN STOP RAINING so I can get out and play
Thanks for all your help!

That's probably the best way to do it. Its all well and good saying XYZ gun is the best - but if it don't sit right for you then it's not worth it.
The HW is a cracker. Have fun!

I sold my HW100t and BSA S10 and bought a Daystate Huntsman, not regretted it for a minute.
All are great rifles, but the lightness, handling and accuracy of the Daystate adds up to an excellent package for me, despite the slightly fiddly mag' and the trigger not being quite as light as the HW100.
Cheers, Paul

Had my r10 for 3 months now had no problems and is the best gun i have ever owned problem is the mk1 had so many issues everybody is jumping on the band waggon try the mk2 and and judge for yourself i have paid more for guns and they do not perform as well
The first evolution of the R-10 came out of the factory too soon. They hadn't tested it enough and it was a sham, it really was. They were so bad, they were recalled and had new valves and parts retro fitted. Now it's a well known fact that rifles have teething problems when they first hit the market. Especially rifles designed for the riggers of hunting life. But the BSA took the biscuit. It was so bad, in fact, that it did a very good job of destroying BSA's already tarnished reputation in the PCP department. When it comes to engineering springers, the BSA lighting has got to be one of the best around for the price, so it's obvious they can produce good rifles. Unfortunately, they rushed the R-10 and made a hash of it.
I tried a BSA R-10 for 2 weeks. I spent a lot of money sending it to Mr Bowkett (John Bowkett) to have him "blue print" it. At the end of the second week it was for sale. I had an Air Ranger at the time and the R-10 had the looks but didn't have the minerals to back the pretty boy image. In short, It was indeed a load of cr*p. Two valves went within the first week and shot placement was terrible (the pellets were clipping the muzzle, sending them all over the shop.) I sent it back and BSA thankfully decided to send me a new one. I didn't use it thought. It was sold that day and the money went towards another rifle.
I've heard they are actually okay now. But to be fair, I'd never touch one again for as long as I live. Save up. And buy a Daystate or HW100. You then live a very happy, comfortable and stress free life with one of the best PCP's money can buy.
Here endeth the lecture.
