    I would like one as well, so you will have to be patient.......although I have a sneaking suspicion that it may well be a disappointment shooting wise as if BSA, with their well known "over egging the cake" in their promotional material in those days described it as "no more efficient than the .22", then would it be a case of needing Chris's gun layer as well to get a ranging
    shot

    Hi Eddie,

    My refinished .25 was a short cylinder model and although trajectory wasn't too bad up to 25 yards, accuracy was a different matter. I just couldn't find a suitable pellet as every one I tried grouped like a shotgun. The No10 peepsight would slide about too freely as well.

    Oh for a better model with honest wear!
