Nice! There's something so right about the proportions and shape of a Scorpion!

Your get no argument from me about the scorpion even with a BSA pistol scope it looks dam good
I'm not a pistol fan really, Although I do have a few somewhere.
IF IT'S NOT BROKE.........DON'T FIX IT!
I haven't really considered which pistol I like the look of best personally. What I can say, and I have no idea why, the pistol within my own collection that I enjoy shooting the most at present is a .22 BSA 240 Magnum. Challenging to shoot, self contained and made here. Did anybody notice that I didn't once mention a "Wobbly?"

Webley Premier, mine even has the "E" stamped on it.
I like the looks of the Webley Senior but it is an old fashioned look. I also like the Bsf pistol but that is very strange looking. The Diana model 5 and Slavia Zvp are good looking but again an older look about them.
The Webley Tempest is not a bad looking pistol once you get used to it. I do like the look of the Bsa Scorpion and I am a fan of these pistols even though they are flawed (think the not cocking or not firing thing,the safety design and the price of spares) . They look very late 60's/early 70's, as though they have come off the set of "The Avengers " or "Dr Who".
a rough .177 one that has played up and is to be looked at some time in the future. BUT--Scorpions SHOULD BE IN .22! They make brilliant bottle cap killers.
One day (looks skywards and makes a vow) a .25 barrel will be sent to one of the BBS Weldery blokes along with a breech block and the .25 will be born Hopefully this will have a steel head as well. Probably need one of those LEM pellet molds to cast some super heavy pellets for it as well
Cooler than Mace Windu with a FRO, walking into Members Only and saying "Bitches, be cool"
For my two pennyworth my vote would go for the Crosman 600

Sorry Guy, I've got to disagree with you there, I've got a .22 and a .177 and while the .22 is my favourite (It was the very first airgun I ever shot and my Uncle left it to me in his will when he died) I really like the .177. It has been fettled although it has got quite an old spring in it. It's still doing about 3.5 ft/lbs and it really is a joy to shoot, accurate, smooth to cock, sweet to fire. It's an ace plinking pistol, it really is. When I've had chance to put some practice in with it, I might even take it to the bell target club!
The Crosman is excellent, but elegant it aint , although it is .22, which has got to be a plus.
I recently bought a Zavista 45, which is a poor man's Drulov 10 and that is proving to be is an excellent true semi automatic and is made of proper metal, as opposed to some of the modern stuff.
Surely if we are talking classic of the era and sleek good looks it has to be the Walther lp53 or LP3
You cannot get more beautiful or classic.
The BSA Scorpion is horrendous in comparison......almost plastic ray gun looks, with a very mixed bad when it came to supporters
Webleys steel Seniors/Premiers another obvious.
