This rifle takes the renowned Supersport format to another level, via a features upgrade that adds greatly to its performance in the field. First, the standard barrel is shortened to true carbine length, then fitted with BSA’s superb Volumetric silencer. This drastically reduces the Lightning’s muzzle blast while also providing a comfortable cocking grip.
Next, the rifle is fitted with a full-specification, Maxi-Grip scope rail, complete with its patented, rubber-mounted, shock-absorption system. With perfect balance, fast handling and total scope security as standard, no wonder the Lightning has become such a favourite with hunters and professional pest controllers worldwide.
