Seems a bit pricey as has already been said but if you are after an Airsporter try and source one privately rather than from a dealer who will always add a significant price mark-up.
Again, as has also been said, a mk1 or mk 2 with open sights and visible etching on air chamber is what I would go for but if your eyesight is not so good and you require a scope then you will need to go for a later mark with means of fitting a scope.

I sold a nicer example than that one for £250 not long back and it also had its opensights, that one is way overpriced.

I have the exact same model and it is very pellet fussy and nor very nice to shoot.
A Mk3 Mercury or a Mercury "S" is the best "trad" option from BSA in my opinion.
A Mk2 Airsporter is a nice iron - sight option.

Opportunity is missed by most people, because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

Many thanks for your very helpful replies. I managed to have a proper look at it today, it does seem overpriced for what it is and what it could well be underneath. I will be guided your wise words and carry on looking.
Thank You.

If you've never shot an airsporter club or a mk2, you really are missing out... I picked an old battered mk2 up once for £20... it's by far my favourite rifle now... there is something very pleasing about 'rapid firing' these with the pop open breech..
I'm sure there was talk at some point of some kind if airsporter volley shoot at the bash, which I'm sure would be immense fun!!
