But so was the Annie 335.
Heck, so was the Webley Vulcan MK1. The Webley flagship that would be developed to the Omega.
BSA was Airsporter, and it's break barrel the Mercury.
So many not off the top tier shoot well enough. If you can get over their triggers and don't shoot beyond the farmyard. Much depends on the accuracy demanded.
I quite like shooting the BSA Buccanier. Slap a dot sight on and plink cans over.
Shooting was once done standing, and not attached to a bench, bag, and seat. Loads of Top Tier rifles are no fun shooting standing as they are heavy fat lumps. Loads of fun to be had with the "little" rifles. I have a soft spot for the BSA Cadet.
Sorry Muskett I didn’t really define what I was after, other than my mention of the Meteor. An Anschutz 335 can hold its own today with the right pellets and is a blisteringly accurate springer in the right hands. It had a few bits where they saved money but overall it’s a top quality gun.
I love the BSA Buccaneer and I would like it if they brought it back. Only problem is the thumbhole in the thumbhole stock is just slightly too small for my not very large size 7.5 hand … I can’t get my hand through the stock far enough to get a straight-back trigger press. It’s so annoying because it’s the perfect plinker and informal target gun with the peep sight attached. And named after a Royal Navy nuclear bomber. It’s all the great things about the 70s in one plastic package, like a track by The Stranglers.
I didn't think the Bucaneer had a nuclear payload, I thought that was just left up to the V Bombers, Victor, Valiant and Vulcan.
I may buy the match to my favourite war bird one day, the Lightning, but with my Supersport being similar might not be worth it.

They carried nukes, flown off carriers in the Baltic some were detailed to hit airfields outside of Leningrad (St Petersburg) and also for anti-submarine work. Because nukes were for everything in those days.

Has anyone said the Relum Tornado yet?
Mind numbingly accurate, and containing special pheromones that page three girls home in on from miles away.
