Have a look here it may answer your question.

be careful with that mate, putting a .177 spring or gas ram in a .22 will invariably push your rifle over the legal limit. due to the fact that the spring/gas ram needs to be much more powerful to push a .177 to impact at the same power as a .22. I'd get it chrono'd if i were you, if the fuzz catch you, you could be knee deep in the brown stuff![]()
You'd be hard pressed to find anyone (who really knows about airguns) to slag these little gems off...
For the money (£200) they are truly hard to beat.
Almost as good as their sister gun - the (standard) BSA Lightning.
Cheap, well made, light, full power, robust and reliable. What more could you want if you have a limited budget...
Try to get a proper English (Brummie) version and NOT a Gamo (Spanish) made model. The latest BSA Lightning XL has trigger faults galore...

I have used one of these in the .22 and .177 as sporter/fun airguns for quite a while. Excellent rifles for the money. Reliable and consistent.

great gun but a lot better if you cut 6-7 inches off the barrel slap on a good silencer and stick an ox spring in it great little gun :0)
Give me the 'Art Deco' lines and the same performance of the Mercury over the Supersport any decade!!!
