Konor Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Thanks bruno22rf for clearing that up.The AirsporterS in .177 is mine as is the Theoben and there’s not much between them in age. The Airsporter S was bought in 1981 and the Theoben made just a few years later. ant.mass sorry but it’s the only rifle I’ll never sell for me it’s perfect,it was 13 years old when I bought it virtually unfired from a collector for £250 probably late 1990s if you can find one I’d recommend you buy it I don’t think you’d regret it. dekers I just noticed your comment posh ****** if that was aimed at me ,I think you’ll agree I’m not such a posh ****** when I advise you in good old Glasgow vernacular to “ Get a life ya ****” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapp Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Oh ok. That's because as I said it was clear it was not meant in a negative way, as has now been confirmed by Dekers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konor Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Sorry Zapp but I don’t think it was clear at all two words open to interpretation one of which was asterisked out with no supporting sentence to put it in context Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Ok. Probably best to check and be clear first next time before wrongly launching into people though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIL1 Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Love the look of the Airsporter S and still have mine from about 83 I think, in the rarer .177. Not shot it in a long while but I will never sell it as I have lots of fond memories and a scar to remind me to be more careful when changing the spring lol Only regret I have with mine is I stupidly put a suppreser on it and marked the barrel with the grub screw doh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobba Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 My father had an airsporter and when I was 16 (1959) he bought me a Webley MK III. We shot a lot together and on balance I believe the Webley MK III to be the better air rifle. Certainly better engineered. Sadly, he lent his BSA to a cousin and it never came back. My Webley is safely tucked away upstairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
