Good Points: Accurate' Beautiful to look at' even better to shoot.
Bad Points: Standard stock is too low on cheek piece area' i had to have an adjustable cheek piece added to mine as when i shouldered the gun my eye was under the scope even though i use medium mounts.
General comments: Wouldn't sell it for the world and feel really privileged that i own one' i live in Australia so its the export model rated @ 50ft lbs.

I only purchased this Ripley XL9 a week ago and have put over 1000 pellets through it so far, it seems the longer I have this rifle the less impressed I am with it for the money I paid I had to pay to get it. It's supposed to be hand made, yet there are some parts that are clearly the same as other makes, it looks like the stock has been turned out on a copy lathe with very poor attention to detail. The chequering is unfinished in many places and the fore end shaping is very unbalanced.

I recently purchased an XL9, having owned an Air arms TX200 for some time(also an excellent rifle). Wasn't planning on spending so much, but when i picked it up the quality spoke for itself. This is very accurate with no recoil whatsoever, and the only noise you hear is the pellet hitting your quarry (to the extent you can take out several rabbits before they even know whats going on). Expensive piece of kit but worth every penny

I have an XL9 in .22 12ft ILBs. Very quiet and accurate - a superb hunting rifle. I feel that a rifle like this should throw out a lot more power. I am going to order one on FAC. Does anyone know who has a 40ft ILBs one for sale must be in mint cond!!

I totally agree with other reviewers here about the Ripley XL9 air rifle. I've just spent 8 weeks hard work on a building site and i've sold one of my air rifles for £180 and i am still in debt!! But when i went for a couple of hours shooting session and came back with a crow, a squirrel and 6 rabbits some of which were hit at 60 yards (clean kills) it was worth every penny and all that meat is very tasty! Although it is no light weight rifle, unless u r some skinny weakling u should be fi ...

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.
