BSA Sportsman HV Questions

[gamo2hammerli]

I`ve read somewhere that the Gamo Dynamax is not shrouded or in a bull barrel.....so I would think it would be loud.  Gamo should`ve just re-labeled the Scorpion T-10 or any BSA product and leave them alone.....

Yes, I agree with gamo2hammerli.  The current Gamo Dynamax design is a downgrade from just about any other PCP.

Well, I haven't seen or read much on the "Gamo Dynamax", however, from the photos it just appears to be a Sportsman HV, in a BSA tactical synthetic stock and re-badged as a Gamo. That's not necessarily a bad thing. The Sportsman HV is a superb rifle. Yes, it's loud. So is any other 30 + FPE PCP rifle without a shroud or other help. Based on what I have read, all the BSA PCP rifles are and will continue to be made at the BSA factory in Birmingham.

I'm somewhat amused that folks will belittle a rifle and decry its performance or reliability when they haven't even shot one, much less owned one. "Billy Bob said so, so it must be true.........."

btw, for what is worth, Gamo has owned BSA a lot longer than 7 years. From the BSA web site:

•      1986 BSA Guns liquidated, bought by Gamo and renamed BSA Guns (UK) Ltd

Bump for PeakChick's view on the matter!  If it is a rebadged HV then maybe the magazines will be a little more affordable............

Hunting rifles are loud....well they are hunting rifles, meant to be hunted with in a hunting senario...that rifle is capable of huge power....way way underrated on the website or anywhere else...too bad you dumped it as you lost probably one of the most accurate...not 35 yard accurate...but way out there accurate, rediculously powerful and inexpensive hunting rifles out there...my Lonestar dialed down with JSB 18g takes squirrels and the like way out to 100 yards...and can be dialed up to throw JSB monsters 25.4g or Eunjin 28 gr way over 900 fps to take coyotes no problem...
