That's why BSA have produced the Scope Master range of sight mounts. 1 Piece fully adjustable, Medium 1' (25.4mm) - 12.9 - 14mm Maxigrip scope rail.
It’s easy to get swept along on a tide of technology these days; often losing sight of the very ingredients that attracted us to the sport of airgun shooting in the first place. Ultra sophisticated cutting edge are all very well, but the associated paraphernalia required to ready them to a state of usefulness, can become irritating at times.Indeed there’s much to be said for ‘keeping it simple’, and in terms, there’s no finer example, with regards to ease of use, than the classic powered break barrel. Fond regard for this timeless design is often forged in the early stages of airgun ownership, and a succession of Webley Vulcans certainly left me in no doubt as to its merits.Household NameBSA were of course the other home grown household name from yesteryear, and it’s their Supersport model that I’m giving the ‘once over’ here.Opening the manufacturer’s protective carton reveals a selection of inclusions which can only add to the user - friendly nature of the product. Among these is the safety locking device, which is now a standard free issue with participating manufacturers within AMTA (Airgun Manufacturers Trade Association) - in a bid to promote safe handling and storage of airguns in general.
It’s a nice touch, and add to this the CD instruction manual from BSA, and any prospective Supersport owner and newcomer to the world of airguns should be up to speed in no time. Having viewed the CD before, I can certainly vouch for its excellent instructional contents, covering a variety of airgun related topics; all delivered in a refreshingly clear format.With BSA now incorporated into the operation of Spanish airgun giants Gamo, much of the traditional production has sadly moved overseas, yet I’m happy to report that this latest Supersport has remained largely unchanged from the original highly successful blueprint.PowerpackThe Supersport is an incredibly compact little sporting rifle, which certainly punches above its weight. Given the relative shortness of the compression chamber and cylinder, it’s amazing that the power plant generates near legal limit energy levels, and it’s this design brief that has kept the Supersport high in the sales charts from its inception.With an unscoped weight of just 6.6lbs, this is a rifle with real ‘pointability’, making it equally suitable for younger or slighter built shooters - as well as hulking great adults!
