    BSA Centenary .177

    NOW SOLD













    I am lead to believe only around 250 were made. This one is very tidy, but lacks any paperwork etc. and the bag has no handles.
    £500 collection or local drop off only.

    Pete,

    It's not got the sling, cert, badge or other paraphinalia that those of these that make a monkey sport, BUT I like this one, and if you will take £425 collected, and allow me a few weeks to raise the readies, I will take this please.

    There are a good few mint in box with all the little bits and bobs that came with the Centenary: stickers, sling, badges, certificates. They hold the premium well; £1k isn't robbing anyone though £850 is the norm.
    Far fewer .177's were made, about 1/4.
    Used or slightly used and without all the bits are few and far between. £500 is a fair price.

    At the end of the day they were but a blinged up Airsporter S, and don't shoot any better. These point and shoot really nicely with open sight. The BSA branded Weaver?? scope doesn't add much to what can be acheived, they are not a HW77.
    I think they are one of the prettiest air rifles, and BSA's, done. I think the Centenary handles better than the standard Airsporters, they give a real pleasurable shooting experience. Anyhow, I was sad to sell mine. Anyone buying one should be happy for what it is, a fine rifle.

    Good luck with the sale. If you are not keeping it make someone else happy.

    The last one of these that had all the bits fetched over £800 This one (serial number 26, I think) is so tidy, I doubt it has seen 50 pellets. The bag has only the shoulder strap, the handles have gone.

    It owes me £450 and if you can stretch to that, I will get it to Great Leighs racecourse for you.
    Howzat?

    264 were made in .177 and 736 in .22 I have two number C0293 in .177 and C0118 in .22 both are mint unfired in the original boxes with undamaged original fleece lined slips and complete with all the extras they came with.
