BSF's horrid looking things

The B55 is the most archetypal-looking break-barrel in existence. It's the break-barrel's break-barrel - if you could only put one break-barrel springer in an illustrated encyclopedia, it or the S70 would be the one to place.
The S54 is, granted, a minger and a moose. And of course the best looking break-barrel is the BSA Mercury-S, but it is not really representative with that swoopy back-block.

kevin.ronnie is a great fan of BSF rifles but thinks the stock on the 'delux' B55 makes it look like a Diana G80 and prefers the older smaller slimmer one.
The stock on the BSF S80 had an unusual deep section in front of the trigger guard, functionally like the one on the TX200SR but very odd-looking.
So you get cute ones and ugly ones. The Tyrolean S54 feels good to use but is a bit ungainly.
