streaky Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 hi folks, still waiting on the ole FAO to come inspect my humble abode, in the mean time i have decided to buy an air rifle. My friend has offered me his BSA XL .22 , hardly used and in great condition apparently. he's offering the gun to me for £150, £200 with scope. No idea whet the scope is yet but knowing him it'll be a good un. Anyone got any views on this gun, good or bad would be greatly appreciated. john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Factory assembly can be variable and can normally be made much smoother by a good airgun smith. Every hunter should have and keep a .22 cal 12ftlb springer IMO, very usefull in some situations that arise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sha Bu Le Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) At that price if you fancy it & have got the coin go for it (with a bit of bargaining of course). Find out what the scope is, do a bit of ggggoogle work and make an offer. Got one in .177 nice little rifle really like it however if your a big un may not fit you. Mine just about does and I'm only 5'8" on a warm day. ATB Bri Edited January 4, 2011 by Sha Bu Le Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 i have one and if i had to buy again would defo go for a weihrauch instead, much better guns for the money. true but try and buy a tidy one with scope for less than the £200 mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sha Bu Le Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) Good point K for a good one at todays prices with scope (half decent) I reckon around £320 new. Used £200-£220 for a neat one. (LXL that is) Edited January 5, 2011 by Sha Bu Le Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the enigma Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Yeah,go for it. I have an XL Tactical,and I love it to bits. Nice and light,and accurate. A strip,clean and polish,and relube of the internals will really make a big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEAD SHOT NO1 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 If it a good scope buy but if not try get the rifle alone for 120-140 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
