Yes please buy it.
I had one, something that I carefully refinished, repaired and rebuilt, but which rewarded me with only 8 fpe, even after I tried all sorts of things. I sold it, very disappointed, only to later find out that it needed the Meteor 'O' ring to get rid of the power-robbing tightness of the piston.
Arrrgh the pain of indecision.

One of the better BSA models,i had a nice one in .177 only got a MKII now in .22.Go on treat yourself.
£67.80!
From an ice-cream tub's worth of old change. It is the 20-pences that did it, they are small but powerful coins.
And that is with the evil 10% they rob off it.
And without what is down the back of the sofa or on the floor of the rear of the Rover.
See you on the other thread, Asda made me do it ...
I love a happy ending.

If I had had the money for it, I would have already bought it but alas I am too poor and already have a later Mercury and Challenger, so I can't really warrant another (but saying that you can never have enough and it is an "S").
But if in the future you decide too sell it, do let me know first old bean (you know our usual agreement and you still owe me a favour for that bargain priced Bigtoe 280 I sold you)

Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in
I'm surprised you would be after another Mercury, after the Curse of the Challenger and its spinning nuts. If I get bored with the 'S' I will certainly consider a swap for your Prosport .
BTW the Diana 'bigtoe01' 280K is on the For Sale board and has had no bites at all, which is peculiar as it is a very tweaked rifle...
