    Depends on calibre, condition and sometimes how nice the Walnut is (not that that should effect the value but it helps to sell it).

    All depends on if it's a mk1 or 2 S (could even be a mk3 but they had Deluxe Beech stocks), does it still have the open sights and any original bits it came with (box etc)

    I've seen them go between £150 to 325 but the average seems to be £275ish.

    ​.
    Also depends on condition (photos will help, here), and calibre, as those in .177 always seem to make more, and sell quicker, than those of a similar mark/model/condition in .22 (as I found out when I sold my Mk.II in .177 and my similar condition Mk.II in .22). Hope this helps?

    Early "Blond" ones make less. Collectors really want it complete with the open sights.
    Yours by the sound of it £150 tops.

    Mint in box then £100 or so more. The premium is for perfect condition. Goes for most 80's rifles. 1984 was a long time ago!

    That sounds like a mk3 S then with the maxirail, and that should fetch a premium as they are rare. I had one that I sold when I sold off all my BSAs.

    I think we need to see some photo's of this rifle, Like already mentioned above by Ian and myself, the mk3 S had the Deluxe style Beech stock and the mk1/2's had the Walnut stocks, I'm just wondering if you have a mk2 S action in either a standard or Deluxe Beech stock.

    Are you sure there's no screw thread on the top of the barrel at the muzzle to fix the front sight, my S carbine has a fixing on the front of the maxigrip rail to fit a Williams style sight, may be yours has been removed but there should be a fixing thread at the muzzle.
