    Another rifle that I have not seen, are they rare?

    By the way thank you for being in the trenches with me today to the guys who responded or sent pics (now gratefully saved), you helped me through a tedious 12 hour shift!

    My Old Meteor

    I still have my Dads 1973 BSA Meteor Super in .22 caliber. It’s standard and does about 9 fpe. Because it was poorly made the slot forming the breech fork is off the central axis of the cylinder by a few degrees. This means that a scope will only be in horizontal zero at one exact range. Closer and it’ll shoot off to the right, further away, off to the left. I’ve never come across this fault in another break barrel.

    Anyway the plastic rear sight is long gone so I’m fixing one up from an Anschutz 335. Then I’m going to fit a parachute seal conversion from Welsh Willy. This should give me the accuracy and power I never got from this rifle while I was growing up ..
