BSA Lightning XL SE Black GRT

The BSA Lightning XL SE Black GRT takes one of BSA’s best-selling sporting air rifles and upgrades it with modern Gas Ram Technology for smoother, quieter and more consistent performance. Instead of a traditional metal mainspring, this model is powered by a pneumatic ram filled with inert nitrogen, delivering a cleaner firing cycle with reduced vibration and improved shot to shot consistency.

Built on the proven Lightning XL SE platform, this rifle retains all the refinements that have made the Lightning range so popular with hunters and field shooters. The gas ram system offers a smoother cocking action, reduced mechanical wear and a longer service life compared to conventional spring-powered rifles, while also helping to minimise recoil and noise in use.

Finished in a smart black stock, the Lightning XL SE GRT maintains excellent balance and fast handling, making it ideal for pest control and general sporting shooting. Its compact carbine format, combined with BSA’s renowned barrel quality and effective sound moderation, ensures dependable accuracy in a lightweight and easy-to-handle package.

Please note that GRT models typically produce around 9.5–10 ft/lbs, making this version well suited to shooters who value smoothness and shootability over maximum output.
