    bsa bronze 2.5-10x44 scope (no mil dots)

    bad points...

    Well I've seen HW80s go recently on here for up around £275 and above when the Sportsman are selling then new for £280 with full warranty

    It's worth what someone is prepared to pay and it seems some people are prepared to pay daft money for them here, but with it needing a re-blue at least; or new barrel I'd price it at £140.

    Hw80 mk1

    I was offered one some months ago by a dealer for £100, I'd say it was 8 out of 10 in .22. Currently Micks Guns website has a mint MK1 80 in .22 for £275.

    So £120 to £140 but that painted barrel really does it no favours.

    What does he expect for an old gun that was sold in their thousands with a painted barrel?

    £100 for the rifle if he is lucky; sell the extras toys separately to get some value. Sorry, there are just too many tired rough rifles out there even if they shoot ok. Springers are old hat.

    Collectable examples, and the HW80 MKI's are, must be almost if not mint. Then they are worth a premium. Tat is tat, and costs too much to rectify unless you enjoy doing it. Fixed and tarted up will always be worth far less than a factory fresh example.

    I shoot a FWB Sport and wear an old hat; shouldn't get in the way of business though. I've indoctrinated my son to springers too but the flat cap was too much
