BSA Airsporter Mk2 - accuracy capability?

[leetrenchard]

Have had one good session with my mk1.

Got groups of 1 inch at 25 yds using defiant 5.6 mm pellets, but found this was with the scope moving. Will try again sometime soon with a stronger mount.

The mk2 in my opinion is the best of the airsporters. Looks better and you will enjoy using it. Go get it!

I thought the mk1 didn't have dovetails? Are the defiant 5.6mm still available? The mk2 I owned was cosmetically rough, but shot beautifully.

DEFIANT VINTAGE are still available on E**Y , and will be yet for months to come.

I have owned my Mk 2 Airsporter since 1980 (well I did sell it once to a member on here when I was short of cash and had the option to buy it back when I had the money and true to his word he let me buy it back, so he was really looking after it for me for a wile I will not sell this one again ) its in very good condition has a 4x40 scope on it power is around 10 ft lbs and shoots very well using RWS Superdomes, its the best Airsporter bsa made in my opinion its doing 1 inch groups at 30 yard any further and the groups do open up, its not going to win any field target comp's but its filled my game bag many times with rabbits and pigeons.

My mk2 is not very accurate at all! After eliminating all other possibilities I think taking a coil or 2 off the spring might be in order as it seems rather harsh.

I wonder what groups the .22 ones would do with the old good quality wasps? I suspect they would give the best groups of all.Shame they're like rocking horse doo doo to find these days.
