    The thing I love about you HW loving freaks is.....

    ..... I get to buy all the lovely BSA's you all hate so much

    I managed to add another couple of lovely Airsporters to my collection on Saturday, a rather nice S and a carbine, so that's my carbine S now tucked up in bed with its two new bed pals.

    It's all lovely.

    Cheers

    Enjoy your newly acquired Beezas, my friend.

    Ah, this is a .22. And, (not wanting to be funny, but just wanting to comply with forum rules) I'd be starting a sales thread if I were to have a go at selling. I don't love the gun. Don't really feel any "connection" with it at all. But if it came to actually selling it, er, I'm not sure if I actually would. Does that make sense to anyone?

    Hi yes makes sense anything sold goes through the for sale section and I understand you don’t know if you would let it go as they become a part of you I have found and it’s hard to let one go. Thank you for your reply

    As I cant really use open sights any more and BSA combs are about a foot low for scopes, the top three knackered vertebrae don't help

    I like BSAs but not all. R10 imho gets short changed after Mk2 onwards. Quite heavy though but then I have dine much to my 100 to lighten and improve balance.
