I have a mk2 carbine which shoots beautifully. I find my 3 goldstars just as good as the superstar though if i am honest.

Stand to be corrected, but I think we can blame Bob Beeman for inventing the marketing idea that any air rifle he sold making more than 10 ft-lbs was a “magnum”.
Helped sell a bunch of guns, though. The pithier American equivalent of our 1980s “maximum hunting power, right up to the legal limit”.

I picked up a cheap one some years ago, Same time as I bought my fx verminator, The bsa cost me £40 from a chap in Swansea, With the difference in price of the two guns it's was a little gutting to find it was grouping better than the fx, Out of all the guns I've had over the years the I would say the ones that have been noticeably better was the daystate mk3, Hw77 and the bsa superstar.
