I'm so jealous !!!!!
I would love to have a .22 but unfortunately anything from .22 and bigger got to be registered and licenced. Getting a license for a firearm here in SA is getting almost impossible.
Everytime I use my Supersport (.177), I'm more impressed. Yeah I know there's die-hard AA, HWxx and Diana(RWS) fans here that will shoot me for saying this, but I won't trade my BSA for any of those rifles. It's robust, light, powerfull (14.5 fpe) and accurate enough to hit what I aim at without dialing in, range finding etc. Just cock, load, lock, (quick)aim and shoot. I can take a headshot on a pigeon at anything from 10 to 50 yards using this method.
OK, I'm not stupid either... I will trade anyone who wants to prove me wrong... I'll just sell the more expensive gun and buy a Lightming XL. And YES I have tested and shot those rifles before I bought the BSA.
I want a Sumatra or Career, don't know why, because I will hardly ever use it. I guess I just like the look of it. The whole scuba tank/pump thing is just to much of an issue for me, I will rather use a springer.
Hmmm, just thought of something. Isn't there a springer (not a BB gun) that looks like that?
Before some dudes crap on my post, let it be known that I'm not judging or criticising... To each his own.
There is a photo of the BSA in my album.
