yes it was a bargain , i must admit when i shot this i was a bit gutted to think of the amount of money i have spent on some guns which i still have and this really aint far from them , i have a 1985 hw77k in 177 with a webley tune kit in and i got to say there is less kick on the bsa superstar, this seems better to shoot than any of the hw97 77 ,tx range and the prosport i have owned , i thought it would have been similar to the bsa stutzen i had with the same sliding breach but it shoots far better , the stock screws are in fine condition and i am not sure if it had ever seen a scope before, a really good gun
