bwfc 164 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) As far as classic springers go,youll have to look very hard to find something better than the BSA Goldstar.I love my 1989 HW77 in all but one respect,its just too hefty after a short while.The Goldstar is every bit as accurate,has consistant power,the weight is just perfect and its a multishot.I also like the fact that every Tom,Dick and Harry doesnt have one,and everyone who shoots it loves it.They all ask the same question too,why arent they made any more and why did they stop,this was the BSA flagship. If you find one grab it quickly,usually found in average condition,even rarer like this one. Edited February 9, 2013 by bwfc Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Own one? I have a BSA Meteor mark 4 (1972 vintage) that is a reminder of my father (he had an identical one out of the Kays catalogue to deal with a pheasant infestation), only springer I ever knew to be set up with a range of 25 yards at an downhill angle so he could snipe the swines that were eating the veg seeds in our garden from behind his bedroom curtains, not to mention my 1986 Theoben Sirocco Deluxe, I have a Webley Falcon that is being gifted (ie given away) to someone from this very forum, who shall be named when we eventually get enough time together to head up north, I also have a Crosman 1322 medallist from teh 1980s in original packaging too!
