    Thats a brilliant collection and so good to see another Venom Bavaria. Do you know if he has a S70 Continental or, a S80 in his collection? It would be great to track a few others down.

    Cheers

    My brief experience of a B55 was that it was extremely hold-sensitive and required the lightest 'cradling' to get good accuracy. I fitted it with a Maccari spring which needed alot of spacing to get full power, during this process I found that the trigger is load-dependent i.e. it gets heavier the more the spring is pre-loaded.

    Therefore, if you want to shoot your BSF break-barrel with good accuracy and not too much effort, simply fit a Maccari spring and don't space it. You will get about 8 fpe and it will be pleasant and accurate.

    One of the rarest BSF models is the 65. Ive only ever seen one and only heard of another for sale on a German sales forum.

    You don't even like BSFs Danny!

    How do you think a BSF S54 compares with a tasty Pre-War?

    No, Alistair, the S54 is the only one that does anything for me, mainly because of the beautiful diopter sight. Even in its rugged, postwar agricultural solidness the S54 can't compare with eg. an Improved Model 'D' for sheer timeless brilliance.

    As I expected, just needed confirmation!

    That diopter is a total 'mammoth ubersplatter' isn't it? Probably weighs more than most scopes.
