    The "Rare" Airsporter ?

    Why is it that you don't see (to my mind anyway) the Mk. 7 Airsporter ?
    Is it that not many were made or BSA concentrated on the later RB2 in preference ?

    I guess that makes my Mk7 .177 'S' a rare gun? It's the second one I've owned.

    Thought the only rare airsporter was the mk1 club and a drum fed repeater that I saw 25 years ago plus.

    People here may have seen or owned a few, but we tend to gravitate to rarer stuff. So we arent representative.

    I do wonder how many they sold, given the Mk7 was up against really strong competition from HW80, HW77, FWB Sport, Webley Omega etc etc in the mid-eighties.

    I certainly never thought of buying an Airsporter back then, whereas only a few years earlier it had been a well-regarded and popular premium sporting air rifle.
