I have 3 Superstars, all full length guns in .177, .22 and .25. I would not part with any of them. There is a minute step into the breech on the .25, which hitches up the pellet sometimes as you load. A slight backward rocking motion on the top of the skirt eases the pellet head over the tiny step and into the breech no both, using BSA Pylarm pellets. Breech doesnt seem that tight, and all the rifles are super super accurate.

Love em to bits and would part with any of them. BSA best spring rifle in recent times, by far.
