    BSF Rifles what do you have?

    I feel real lucky to have a few BSF air rifles. Namely: A BSF S70 Continental, bulino engraved by Don Blocksidge, a BSF S80 new in the box and my favourite a BSF 55 Bavarian Venom with a lovely walnut Tyrolean stock, all of them brand new and untouched. I rarely see any BSF rifles coming up for sale. Which got me thinking:

    What BSF rifles do you have in your collection?

    What BSF rifle would you like to have?

    They really are gorgeous and as time goes by, many readers will have never handled one before, which is such a shame.

    A few. I really like the (most) of the BSF range and they are well under rated. The only one Im not to keen on is the Mod 54 which is built like a brick out house and, to me, too similar to the Tornado.

    Their manufacture was well dated but they are well made. Similar to that of the Webley MKIII.
    Shooting experience a bit agricultural as most packed more punch than what they could handle. Barrels were straight enough and as springers go well up to farmyard use.
    They died out because they were old hat, and didn't move with the times. Nice rifles to collect.

    One S54 Bayern .22 with chequered fore end and grip and Bavarian stock with raised cheek-piece in immaculate condition and has had little use. Very heavy and not well balanced but a well engineered German rifle!

    Just two almost identical base model 55s here, both in .177".

    Nice, punchy, solid things. Like a Diana 27 on steroids. Or a better Webley Vulcan.

    Don't get me started on the desirability of the Venom BSF Bavaria. Holy Grail rifle.
