 Steve.'s recommendation | |
Classic good looks,
Small & light for youngsters,
Accurate for fixed range use,
Safe power levels for training purposes.
Non-adjustable open sights,
No grooves for fitting a scope.
The BSA Cadet is a very pretty little break barrel plinker with open sights (fixed rear). Not designed to take a scope. This is an ideal starter gun and there were thousands sold in the 1950-60's. Mine is an ex-fairground model and, with new stock, seal & spring is still providing fun for me & the grandkids (the old stock has now been cut down to suit a six-year old). It's small size, light weight and easy cocking are ideal for youngsters. It has to be well made & robust to have stood 50 years of abuse.
This is not a 12ft-pounder, so don't go expecting to kill vermin with it. But it is ideal for fixed range back garden plinking at 8-20 mtrs.
