Takes be back to the days when my Uncle first got me interested in shooting with an old BSA Comet - open sight! Mind you it was only 15 meters shooting out of his office window 😊
Great video and shooting. 👍
With the almost scientific approach many of us take to shooting, these budget bangers are seriously underrated for how much fun they can offer.
Superb gun. 👏👏
Love BSA guns I’ve had a super sport and a lightening since I was 15 I’m 35 now 😊 and they’ve never skipped a beat
I also have both 👍
Must’ve had the Suoersport for well over twenty years now and the Lightening XL for fifteen years. They’re both excellent. I’m now pondering a venture into a PCP’s so looking at a BSA again.
@@nickwebb9290 I remember being given the lightning by farther who had it from the late 70s, the super sport was a gift for my birthday but even then it wasn’t brand new, I think they could be 30 years old, My outdoor activity’s lately are fishing but recently dug them out and came across this video looking for a budget rifle for my son
I brought a Super sport, when they first came out.I it fitted with a Tasco scope and it was a great hunting gun.I still have it and it's a great rifle.
@@billbarton9046 I think they will outlive me hahaha, the only thing that have ever tarnished was the seals but a simple and easy fix
Love my mk1 lightning
Everbody needs to have this little beauty full power no extras like bottle just tin a pellets pop on a scope and off ye pop.Let’s bring back the fun again without the expense.All the very best 👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴
40 years ago I traded my BSA Airsporter S (Walnut stock) and good optics. Damn it, loved that thing.
I borrowed a friend's Airsporter S in about 1982 and it was the most beautiful rifle I've ever seen,just the look of the stock and the shape of the rifle.Absolute perfection.
I still remember it now.
I had a rather ugly Original 45.
@@PjD-pk1fg Oh !! stop it mate, I know. Beautiful powerful things. But I had to get a guitar, stupid !
Lovely to see a good brand name at a good price. Very tempted to get one of these and get away from my CO2 addiction!
I had one like that - we did shooting at school. Then I got one for my birthday and Boof That's a Bingo! Soon all sorts of things had holes in. Excellent !! I went on to shoot Lea Enfields, Bren guns, shotguns, even a 20mm Bofors - oh yes! It is great. Bang bang bang bang - crikey !!
An other excellent episode Andy. I’m happy to be seeing the less expensive budget friendly arm’s lately. That would be the major portion of my collection and I’m proud of them. I think I have chosen well. Living here in Phoenix Arizona I have the privilege to drive out into the desert get myself turned around a bit intentionally, pull over to nice deserted area and set up my Gong Target and commence to shooting. On a nice day I can be lost for hours. When I’m finished, I simply pack and enjoy the scenic route home. I hope one day you have business in neck of the woods so I can shake your hand and say thank you.
Your friend in Phoenix,
Rudy.
See you next week.
Good for you Andy, giving us an excellent review of a budget priced air rifle.
Although it’s enjoyable seeing your reviews of high end gear it’s also good that you cater for those on a tight budget and makes your channel so inclusive.
I appreciate these programmes take up a lot of time to make but is there any chance you could do a ‘long termers’ review of the guns you have? Would be particularly interested how the BSA Ultra CLX is doing 😁
I have the wooden stock version, called the Meteor Evo. Its an excellent rifle, great fun to shoot.
I got the comet evo silentium in a .22
With a 3-9x40AO scope
Its a beast
Love it especially wit H&N hornets
It's great to see a starter gun good enough to keep in the quiver, at that price even if you do move on to a more expensive gun, it's worth keeping to use to introduce others to shooting.
Just bought one off the back of this video, it's absolutely mint. Cracking old school air rifle, and even more cracking bang for my buck.
That’s amazing accuracy for a £150 gun perfect to keep handy in the car
Great review Andy. I’ve got the Silentium in .22 and use it for ratting and plinking. It loves Bisley Long Range Gold pellets and it’s had a few thousand go through it without a single problem. Great rifle for the money.
What sort of range are you getting?
Recently purchased a silentium, wow what a gun, bit of recoil very accurate especially with qys pellets my 15 Yr old grandson loves it even more than my pcp. Its definately a keeper.
I just love the idea of getting another break barrel , it's so much more involving then a pcp.
Love the channel. I just subbed. That gun looked really good fun .
Very respectable accuracy for a budget springer off a hard tripod and 35mtrs. Better than I expected at the start of the video. Great review as always. ATB MMMD
I'd like to see this up against the HW99s in a battle of the ultimate budget springers
HW99s for the win mate, I've had 3 of em in .22 and would get another tomorrow there great, and next level after a bit of a fettle
@@davt8615 Have you ever had the 95 or 97? If so. What's your thoughts?
I'm looking at the 95 177 for this Xmas, with ratting in mind.
@@snakeman9902 had them both mate in different guises and calibres, I'd go .22 for a 95, there quite snappy in .177, so are the 97 even after a tune. 95k is in my opinion the best hunting springer on the market, 97 are just to weighty to lug around more suited to field target work.
Hope this helps buddy
@@davt8615 Thanks a lot brother, yes it has, much appreciated 👍
@@snakeman9902 anytime brother
Great review, just goes to show you don't need to spend a fortune to enjoy our sport, thanks Andy 👍
Another great episode Andy .You prove shooting is possible for any budget .Thank you
That'd make a handy little home ratter in .22. Pretty accurate rifle at the price.
It reminds me of my old BSA meteor that was a good all rounder too .
Brings back fond memories of my BSA meteor
I'd like it if you would Inc close ups in your videos.
Ie it would be nice to see the breach lock design and the open sights in more detail.
Thanks for the review:)
Oh Andy! I'd just got my choice of next airgun down to three, Wembley ww 1 rep, colt peacemaker rep or crossman 2240 and now you show me this beauty!
i'm amazed that the budget scope you used didn't get destroyed by the springer. it must be a good one.
I just managed to snag one of these in .22 (red devil stock). It was on sale for €99, couldn't resist getting one for that price.
Andy you and your team have done it again sir well done sir
Nice bit of kit for the money.
It looked like a fair bit of wind when shooting so considering that, very impressive 👍
That's perfect for hunting , light weight , full full powered , and accurate.
Not bad grouping for a budget gun,ideal for a bit of ratting or garden plinking - it's good for the sport on a low budget.well done Andy 👍
Great review Andy and it’s refreshing to see you cover such a diverse range of rifles. Thank you and thanks Vector Air too.
Been thinking about getting an air rifle again....I have lots of powder weapons, but airguns are cool. The rifle reviewed is only $329 here in NZ...that's 165 quid..... not a lot at all. I think on the basis of your review I'll pop down to my gun shop and pick one up..... Great review, thanks. It seems that BSA is making good rifles again these days... 🙂
I note that the NZ version of this rifle has a muzzle energy of 16ft lbs (measured on my chronograph)....we have no limits here on Springers... but all PCPs required a licence.... Got my rifle last week and it didn't disappoint. It seems very accurate so far, and is surprisingly easy to cock.... Thanks again for the review.... 🙂
Good to see a gun I actually own on the channel. Well sort of, I have a meteor basically the comet but with a wood stock
Always a pleasure to watch the relaxed yet scientific approach to airguns that Andy has.
Hi Andy
I enjoy watching your reviews but have to comment this time as watched as looking for a cheap gun for a friend but noticed you put barracuda green. On the tin for pcp rifle only... just saying.
Happy shooting and keep up the good work 👍
Sometimes simple and inexpensive is better. In fact, most of the time. 👍
Very decent grouping for the money. Trigger can't be too bad for a cheap springer
There are some great budget air guns now in 177. I don't use 22 now. For info; Beeman 10616, USA version, 0.31" groups @ 33 yards. 998 fps with RWS 8.3 gr Superdome Field Line pellets, 18.3 fpe, silencer, 28 lb cocking, 49" length, no barrel droop, has open sights, shoots very quiet. Nine pounds with scope. I shoot it like a deer rifle. Test group shouldered with front rest, light grip, 9x scoped. Jsb shoots no better but costs 5x more. The gun out shoots me even as a marksman. Much fun, smooth quiet spring, love this gun. Added a Tasco 3-9x 40mm AO scope and sling, a whopping $190 total package. Comes with a scope good for 20 yds or less, $129-$160. RWS superdomes are 2.6 cents each. They work well at low and high velocities. The gun is rated at 1,200 fps and shoots 1,085 fps with 7.0 gr lead pellets. Gotta love German engineering.
Wonderful as always Andy, looks like a real beauty from our Brummy friends, thanks for sharing and have a great one
Love your content . I had a 1980s made in Germany it was made very nice looking real wood the air rifle my uncle passed it to his grandson I gave it back to my uncle got it for me as a kid so passed it on it still works like new . Don know the name in the sketching in the barrel it said made in Germany 177 cal you break the barrel down bring Barrel you put one pellet in and the power was unbelievable especially as a kid my first BB gun was a regular BB Daisy May it didn't even go through a tin can lol . But that German break barrel air rifle it went through four soda cans and that was back in the '80s today it's a whole different game like your Channel ... Great content
Another great review Andy & Team
I really enjoyed this vid. Great job as usual.
My very first air rifle was a well used BSA Meteor, with a sloppy barrel and leaking breach seal
but at least it had a wood stock.
Accuracy was hit and miss, mostly miss as the barrel slopped from side to side when fired.
But it was fun, even with little power my father used it to clear out the pesky starlings that you were
allowed to shoot in the late 60's.
I would paya bit more and go for a Meteor Evo with a beech stock, i can't stand the feel of plastic stocks.
But if funds are tight, this one will get you started into a great hobby.
I've gone back to open sighted Springers & It's made my shooting improve & great fun.
*Said No One Ever.
🤣🤣🤣
I own a few bsa’s including the lightning GRT you reviewed a short time ago. I was so impressed with that rifle I also bought the meteor evo and the supersport great guns and shoot every bit has good as a PCP. And full hunting power too.
A most spiffing rifle for the money. Very similar to the Remington express that my son and I got for his first gun for shooting with scouts
Fine review and an attractive first rifle set up. Indeed, it would be great if BSA did a package for this.
Thanks for the review. It looks like a cracking little rifle. I accept the comments about the much more expensive Weihrauch but BSA is British through and through as I am. I believe BSA has earned the right to my custom. Would a more expensive scope improve its performance??
Morning Andy. Brill review as always. I forgot it was Friday until you popped up😂.. and I completely agree what a budget belter... Love the look of BSAs new Springer.. cheap as chips and you can't go far wrong with it.. cheers mate keep up the great work.. kind regards Dave 😁👍👍👍👍👍
I’m tempted. In 1986 I bought a wehrach .22 breach loader it was fantastic but expensive. If I bought one for myself I’d go for a .177 bsa.
I wonder how much that 1986 wehrach would sell for now. Probably long sold as he was taken hand guns at the university gun club.
What a lovely little thing to wake up to!
I think I that was a pretty good test....it was hitting the target hard too ...grouped nicely but clearly needed a slight sight adjustment.
The way that was hitting the target was certainly good enough to despatch small pests..... can't argue with the price that's for sure.
Good morning Andy, nice rifle today . Its got looks and shoots great !. All for under £ 150 ..... Also a great first rifle . Thank you for your hard work Andy..... cheers Simon
Message from Chris (Petra's Husband in New Zealand) The H & N pellets are great for accurate target shooting, I use a Hatsan A.T.E.D ED Vortex Rifle .22 850fps with H&N Field target trio and am hitting bulls eyes from 50 meters, Have a look at the rifle and see what you think. I use a Stealth scope 3.9x35 budget lined but it works ok.
Yay hats off to BSA !!! Thanks Andy 😎👍🏻
Credit where it’s due Andy, most people would of done a 25 yd test to make the results look good. Not you, straight out to 35m no messing about a good test for both the shooter and the rifle. I would say though that most people in the market for this type of rifle at this price point are most likely to be beginners and should spend a long time practicing before taking aim at anything with a pulse out at 35m.
Nice budget starter or even cheap pest controller. When the lead ban rumours first surfaced I tested the Baracuda Greens at .177 in my BSA R10 SE. Reassuringly I found them to be very accurate (although expensive of course) I was getting centre to centre 5 pence groups out to 35 and 40 yds. (During testing I used all 300 pellets through the gun) The pellets I used were unelected or weighed straight out of the tin. My BSA R10 SE is little underpowered and I was considering sending it to John Bowkett to have it tuned up. However in my mind I wondered if it was the slight lack of power which was aiding accuracy in my hammer forged barrel. It eased my mind a bit on the lead ban, aside I'd the cost implications. My only other concern is if long term damage to the barrel may occur using alloys. Anyway I am back to the lead now (QYS) as we await news from the enquiry. Although judging by the state of the government goodness knows when that might be .... 🙄
Just hope it's fifty years down the line!
Very encouraging performance from a budget rifle. Great, professional video, too!
I bought one of these for targeting shooting. Its ace!
Another enjoyable review Andy and many congratulations. Just noticed that there are now over 200,000 subscribers to your channel !!!
I recently picked up the comet silentium model with gas ram tech and built in silencer and it's a beauty for a first time hobbyist like me
I had the meteor evo for my first, was a decent little plinker
Wow pretty impressive, I think if someone took care of all the noise the cocking linkage is doing you would have a pretty nice little rifle
Morning Andy, nice quality budget rifle from BSA. Brillant review as always.
I have the Evo silentium very accurate light rifle people will say it's GAMO it's gamo as long as it hits what I'm aiming at I don't care it's a tuff knock it about and won't break rifle 👍
A very nice rifle from Bsa [Gamo], and with that power,it will shoot rats pigeons and rabbits and the gray squirrels, but the price was we told how much great video
Great review Andy, sounds like a very capable, yet affordable springer!
I've always enjoyed BSA - you've reminded me, I haven't shot my R10SE, for a while...
Thanks for sharing,
Atb Gus 🍺
A Very Effective little Rifle from the looks of it I Have had Numerous BSA Rifles over the years and apart from my 22Rimfire I Loved my old 177 Airsporter S Have been looking for another Under lever really But from the looks of your Review i could very easily be tempted to go with this instead Looks to hold a half decent Group over a Moderate Distance and be simple and Hardwearing most importantly Cheers Andy Going to have to have a look at one of these myself
On the back of this review , I have just bought one so I can learn my son how to shoot !
I’m very surprised in that this could be my first springer plus how the alloys performed to, is this a lead free gun? A great review Andy.
That’s pretty good accuracy for a springer. A little tweak on the scope and the red on the target would’ve vanished.
The Comet line seems quite interesting. I'll have to see if they're available on my side of the pond at a good price and more power.
That looks like a very nice budget gun. Thanks for another great review.
Love the show by the way, I have watched many of your reviews.
Have been working out ? talking and loading that springer, wile holding a steady shot, impressive, I’m sure you have got better at it.
I love my BSA. Great guns
Very nice 🙂👍. Reminds me of my Gamo Varmint, minus the synthetic barrel shroud.
Not a bad little bit of kit and very cheap too. Great review.
Hi AA!
I live in the US and I am just curious. I love springer and air ram rifles because most are affordable and I love to tinker on them and get the most I can out of them. In the US a lot of break barrels are over the 12 foot pound threshold, especially the magnums. Are springers popular enough with the FAC buyers that you can find magnums in the UK?
How easy is it to modify this and put a more powerful spring in?
Hi, and thanks for the review.
You mentioned that this model can be fitted with a silencer to keep the neighbours happy. I can't see a thread in front of the sight? Am I missing something?
Very interesting. Shared the Vid with a neighbour, he is picking a Silentium up tomorrow from Cheshire Gun Rooms. Looking forward to trying it against my Lightening XL SE.😎
Seems to be very much like my hatsan .22 which I do enjoy shooting but have to use it rested these days as it’s quite heavy
This availlable in canada? We have this 500 fps and less law...Andy you have a lots of energy this week. Nice vidéo.
trudeau and more dont knows to blame .
I really like them BSA fiber optics!
_[Looking at my no sights Gamo's in a weird way]_
a good lead free gun ,its amazing
I had a BSA Air supporter' had it chronographed wad pushing out 15fpb!
You don't have to spend a fortune. I have crossman phantom mk2. It does the job, ask the rabbits , squirrels and pigeons i have baged. It cost £200:00p with a good scope.
Thanks for reviewing an affordable ag.
Great review, definitely worth a look for that money.
There is a old saying that only accurate guns are interesting I would add budget and accuracy make them even more so ! I might try the non lead ammo after the group that you shot 🙂
It would be interesting to know how much energy those lead free pellets retained downrange compared to lead pellets.
And be good to see how the barrel is like after 250 pellets they must wear the barrel out
@stephen gunrunner hanson I wouldn't think so. H&Ns green line pellets are made of tin which is a fair shake softer than steel which generally runs 6.5-7 on the Mohs Hardness Scale which is more than double the common rating for Marble which tin dioxide is occasionally used as a polishing agent for.
All in all the lead free pellets should cause no undue wear on the barrel.
Great Review Andy, & for that kind of money, I`d have one in a heartbeat, unfortunately here in Scotland you can`t have any kind of gun without a damned good reason, I don`t have a good reason to own a gun 😒
The usa just got a new BSA Meteor Super gas piston. Hoping to see some reviews on it. Unfortunately its a 12 foot pound rifle would have like to seen it in 20 foot pounds for the American market
Looks Decent For The Money !! Cheers Andy👍
You should definitely try the hatsan airtact. It's under 130 US dollars its .177 version gets upto 1300fps, its come in upto . 25 cal i have the .22 cal and i dont think its ever not been able to go through any bird no matter where ive shot them even with 10 grain pellets. Its a great budget gun definitely try it.
You should do a modern take on the classics like the air sport.
Not reviewing the Ghost Andy ?? Love your work !!
