Hi all
I think the bsa cadet major is one of the best looking air rifles that bsa made i have three now and one cadet all in very good condition with very clear etching i have had a total of severn at any one time and have bought and sold many more over the years i have found that the power of these is around the 6 ft lbs on average most 5 1/2 ft lbs and at best 7 ft lbs yet on the old bsa adverts they say you can shoot vermin out to 50 yards so working things out with this power range i would say 15 yards would be max for a rabbit with ahead shot going by a 12 ft lbs rifle today taking most shots at 30 yards so after all this can anyone tell me if the have shot rabbits with the cadet major? i only use mine now for plinking but as bsa claim 50 yards for vermin was this a false claim, iam always intrested on anything about the cadet major so what are your thoughts?
