    Quality workmanship will make this rifle a collectable of the future,the most accurate well made rifle I have ever owned,it is an expensive investment but perhaps will be better than money in the Bank if well looked after.
    Amazing because it is a small family firm in Derbyshire who make these superb rifles by hand in a limited way,aftersales is friendly once you have made contact and also you feel like you are being dealt with personally,
    I owned a Feinwerkbau P70 and can honestly say The Ripley ...

    The Ripley XL9 is extremely accurate. raftsmanship is superb and looks good. Firing an air rifle with absolutely no kick whatsover is a bit like cheating. So consistently hitting 1p pieces at 80 yards becomes a bit of a bore too after a few tins right ? Wrong !
    I have owned Loguns and other pneumatics before but the craftsmanship of the Ripley is in a class of its own.
    I may be biased as it is a British rifle but if you know of someone who has one, ask politely if you could try it and feel fo ...

    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.

    Ac ...

    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.
