    BSA Superstar .177

    Appologies if this is in the wrong section but thought it'd be ok as it's an old rifle.

    Have been keeping an eye out for one of these for ages with no luck so thought I'd post on here to see if anyone has a good example that they are thinking of parting with. Willing to pay a fair price and travel a reasonable distance to collect (50 miles max. as I struggle driving any further due to illness). If willing to post then that'd be useful.

    Have had several underlevers in the past but they are now too heavy for me so sold them. Thinking the superstar is a little bit lighter than the TX200 & HW97 so will probably be ok.

    Saw that one. Thought it was a bit too much though. Maybe I'm wrong ? If you add on delivery through RFD it is very expensive.

    Appreciate the heads up though mate

    That is a silly price.
    I sold a nice one this year for a lot less.

    I'd figure £200-£225 for a nice one. Decent guns. Get the carbine though - the full lengths are just too long... the carbine is still a 16" barrel.
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Was looking at that sort of figure too. Thanks for the carbine suggestion

    So it's looking like a MK1 Carbine .177 in very good condition (ish) at £225 max

    Can't find much info on the Magnum. Name suggests it's meant to be FAC

    I bought a very nice.22 Superstar with the original sights etc for £160 I believe the .177 is rarer so may cost a little more.

    Nice one , fair price.
    Seen one advertised for £200 but it's a 7 hour round trip and not willing to post . Gun shops seem to be generally taking the piss with high prices, seen one advertised for £399

    Got a superstar carbine in .25 which is amazing, so smooth, but got to use smaller pellets like rhinos.

    Getting used to the breech, as even in massive .25 it's still sometimes fiddly to load, a 177 must be quite tricky!!!
    Thanks - Geoff.

    Can't be any worse than a tx200 with a long target scope on low mounts that obscures the loading port

    I picked up a 25 off here recently. It does have a few minor issues missing open sights, has an adaptor for a silencer to screw onto the muzzle weight rather than the smooth end cap and the stock has been sanded severely including the chequering. I think I payed £160 for it, but it came with 4 tins of pellets and a scope so i can't complain, especially considering i mentioned that I'd bought a 25 to an air gunning friend and he gave me another 4 tins of pellets he said he has no use for.

    ? I think it could be, the superstar is more suitable for RH loading, so better for lefties. I have never seen anyone struggle with a TX like I see people fumble with the mortars in my 25!
    Thanks - Geoff.
