Good Points

Easy to handle, light weight, packs enough punch for both plinking and mid-range hunting. And, it's a BSA Meteor with all the history that comes with it.

Bad Points

Break-barrel springer can't compare with pneumatics when it comes to long distance accuracy.

General Comments

I just bought a new BSA Meteor MK 6 in .22 calibre and I'm very happy with it. Some might argue that the MK 6 is under-powered when it comes to hunting, but I can say for certain that when it comes to ranges below 30 yards or so the meteor mk 6 packs enough punch in both .177 and .22 (around 8 ft-lbs) to down most medium-sized airgun game. The rifle feels very well-made and robust. If you don't need a walnut stock and recoil-free action (which is for ladies anyway) then the Meteor is a good choice.

   Great little gun i had a mark 4 and 6 in .177 very accurate but i wouldn't use it for shooting anything but starlings at 15 meters and less its just not got the power to do the job properly at ranges exceeding this.

   I bought my Meteor Mk4 in .22 33 years ago & still have it! Back then it cost me £14 quid new.
   It has a couple of stablemates to keep it company these days though!
   Out of the box this gun should shoot 10.5 Ft/Lb
   In it's time it's killed everything from rats to squirrels & pigeons @ 30 yds
   A rebuild in Oct 2006 adding a cheap square section spring saw the power increase a tad, but there's a limit to what you can (or should try to) do...it's a small gun with a short piston stroke & the regular spring is already under pre-load. Trying to get more power than 11ft/lb just means it will kick so bad you can't shoot strait anymore.
   A squirrel had the audacity to enter my garden on Christmas day 2006 so (spirit of good cheer & testing the new mildot scopes & all that) I gave it a present...from 20 yds & it was dead before it hit the ground
   It's a solid little gun..... got it's limits, but not quite as limited as you guys are saying
