Dave Dawber.'s Review of Ripley XL9
29th Jan 2002
Overall Rating
- Value for money
- Handling
- Accuracy
Super accurate & superb balance. Nice weight for hunting with no chance of losing the magazine.
Bad Points
Cost!(You really do only get what you pay for). Because they are hand built you may have to wait for one
General Comments
I own a number of "Top End" air rifles, including custom built target rifles. This hand made piece of British engineering will hold it's own with the very best of them.
Resale on these Ripley XL9 rifles is second to none (I was recently offered more than I paid for mine) so whilst expensive, the Ripley XL9 is a sound investment.
On average, people found this review very helpful

Wots the Most Powerful Air Rifle U Can buy in the UK? - ScoobyNet
The best gun IMO is a Theoben Rapid MKII (like mine) or a Ripley XL9, or for less money Air Arms S410 / S200; If you don't fancy charging gear then, Falcon or Theoben.

I am interested in acquiring a Ripley Air Rifle but I am having great difficulty finding anyone who actually deals in them. Do such guns really exist. All internet references lead me to a dead end. If such guns really exist and can be bought, I hope Ripley have made a better job in their construction than they have of their website which gives no contact details or details of any retailers.
Please can anyone help.
