Afternoon all,
well- I will "come out" and admit to owning three. A '55 deluxe, a'54 (not entirely sure which model though- very basic walnut stock) and an '80.
How many more are out there?
I do know that kevin.ronnie has a few as he was my "main man" when looking around for one and I think he had a '54 for sale recently. Nice chap to deal with by the way.

Strange. Most people on here (who admit to) owning a BSF own 2, 3 or 4+ models of this make.

BSF's horrid looking things
dave.
The B55 is the most archetypal-looking break-barrel in existence. It's the break-barrel's break-barrel - if you could only put one break-barrel springer in an illustrated encyclopedia, it or the S70 would be the one to place.
The S54 is, granted, a minger and a moose. And of course the best looking break-barrel is the BSA Mercury-S, but it is not really representative with that swoopy back-block.

kevin.ronnie is a great fan of BSF rifles but thinks the stock on the 'delux' B55 makes it look like a Diana G80 and prefers the older smaller slimmer one.
The stock on the BSF S80 had an unusual deep section in front of the trigger guard, functionally like the one on the TX200SR but very odd-looking.
So you get cute ones and ugly ones. The Tyrolean S54 feels good to use but is a bit ungainly.
Had a couple of BSF in the past:-55 and a 70.In answer to somebody question on this thread- beeman Precision Airgun Guide (seventh edition) they only show 1 BSF Wischo (55) in the airgun comparison table (page13) also Wischo Custom match 'cm' pistol on page 52.
