Whats your opinion on the late Airsporters?

Mmmm... this is an odd affliction, having checked I realise that I have 4 meteors do they breed?

oh yes, bit like womens shoes and boots Allways lovded the wide eye look of innocence from my late partner when the credit card bill ariivded and it was all hers not mine she was worth it though bless her memorey.

I find it always starts with guns you had or always wanted as a kid . With me it's 35e's and Merc's I've ended up with 5 E's and 5 Merc's including 2 mk2's a Challenger an S and a 635 mag on the way . Then it starts to get worse older 77's Txsr , etc etc

YES! Have you never heard people say "Not another breeding Meteor?"
I am struggling to count mine. I think there are 16, not including the one that I've done for somebody, or the rough one in bits.
I would still like one of the Mk3? Versions with the pretty heavy duty steel rearsight

I believe BSA have made 1 million of these? Last reports were that there are 3 million still in existence.

By the looks of things most of those 3 million meteors are owned by BBS members! I also agree that its the rifles that you wanted as a kid that you tend to collect...I found this forum to track down a Jackal but then discovered I needed several other rifles....and also more Jackals.

I think one of the worst day's work I ever did was parting with an RB2 Carbine in .25 .

Piggy....I did not know such a thing existed in .25........but I feel your pain now

I've seen a few superstars going for fair prices recently. IMO a cracking gun.

Yes it was very much real,bought of a local house clearance specialist.
Took it home and inserted a .22 pellet only to watch it drop out of the muzzle,a phone call to Mr Knibbs confirmed the lack of a calibre stamp meant it was a .25.
It made me unpopular on the range,instead of setting spinners in motion it knocked the whole frame down at thirty yards .

yes .25 is a Mans calibre, my 635 Magnum dose the same

Totally agree with you there. I bought one back last year very cheap and it shoots as good as my pcp guns

The last Superstar I bought had this: http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Airs...ml?sort=6&o=17 on the action. Ive not seen it on another before or since.

Have to admit, not had much experience of the Superstar myself but have heard very good stuff on them.
