BSA Superstar, is it underrated or not?

[Dan944]

I absolutely love my .22 superstar carbine.

never mounted a scope but love the open sights on it and shooting its with opens is a joy! ( I have serviced and tuned it though, but it was nice before hand to be fair.

best handling stock bsa have made for me, nice and chunky and rounded

I love many old makes but for me the old BSAs were the always the best . even now in HFT I go for my tuned bsa scorpion instead of a multitude of other more expensive rifles such as my daystate ect... just something charming and underestimated about them all!

I picked up a Mk2 .22 carbine in an early CS800 stock. Luckily pick up an extremely nice .177 mk1 in a standard stock.
I have swapped them over. The carbine handles beautifully in the standard stock. The .177 is very good in the CS800. It matches plenty of modern rifles

I like the rifles but the stocks are a little too chunky for my taste. . 177 was certainly the hardest to obtain, mine came from local via freeads a couple of years ago and cost £85 at the time in decent nick. The lad also had an Alan Hamer MAG Mercury in .25 which I stupidly turned down as I didn't want a break barrrel at the time. he wanted £150 and I had the cash in my pocket. Kicking myself now.

Could I ask for help with a sale valuation on my Superstar please? I believe its a mk2 carbine and its .22
It shoots nicely although I don't have a combro anymore to give a ft/lb figure. Overall its in very nice condition with the open sights and silencer.
The stock was modified prior to my ownership and has been done well. The rifle is still nicely balanced and doesnt feel front heavy.
How much do you think I should advertise it for please?

I bought a MK II 22 Carbibe off here for 130 posted years ago and it had a custom made spring and guides and done properly

I sold it for what I paid for it to a shooting mate at the time when I wanted a pcp again

One of my few regrets ! I still have the BSA Hornet pcp though !

I imagine now a valuation would be MORE !!
