Good Points: Very accurate, good looking gun, powerful, price, quiet with silencer
Bad Points: None
General comments: I have been using the BSA Scorpion now for a couple of days and already I have hit 2 pigeons, a rat and a squirrel. It took roughly half an hour to zero in the scope, and now I can hit an apple sticker at 25 yards and a 2 pence piece at 30. I can hit and kills pest up to 45 yards but I haven't had the chance to use it at that distance. I would recommend that you fit a bipod as this makes shooting easy. Brilliant gun, for a great price.

I've had the scorpion for a couple of weeks now . the day i purchased it i put on the scope and got it zeroed in . the trigger was fantastic and accuracy was good . but things got worse! I chrono'd the rifle and got a reading of 8.5 ft lb. I tried heavy pellets, light pellets about 8 different brands in all and the highest reading was 9.7 ft lbs. I checked my chrono on other rifles and it was fine. I phoned BSA who picked the gun up and 3 days later i got it back. I put it back on the chrono and ...

I wanted a rifle with Pre-Charged Pneumatic and I thus sold my HW97K. I looked at all the models of PCP for simple shooting, on different forums. I hesitated between the AA 400K, Falcon FN12 and the BSA Scorpion. I thus chose the Scorpion .177 version.
It is easy to use, handy and very Accurate with its floating barrel.
The trigger of the scorpion is extraordinary, your spirit and the trigger is one.
I bought it at airgunbuyer for £299, it is one of the least expensive of its category ...

The BSA Scorpion is an excellent single shot pcp. It is well balanced and its carbine length makes it easy to handle it hides, woods etc. It is also very accurate and well balanced and I find its weight at around 7lbs just right to keep my aim steady yet light enough to carry in the field. The gun is very good looking with the new style stock and as I have always found with BSA the bluing is flawless. Fitted with a Logun QGS silencer this gun is very quiet and great for sniping Bunnies.
So if ...

I've only had this gun 3 days but went out Rabbit shooting the very next day i had bought it, and got 10 Bunnnies every shot was spot on, i am very happy with this gun the best I've had so far. As I've had a BSA Lightning and even though that was a great gun this Scorpion is amazing. I got a 3-9x40 scope with a silencer on and its very quiet, easy cocking and loading, light weight easy handling and a very good looking rifle, after i had zeroed it i am grouping an inch circle from 20 yards. I rec ...

I owned a Weihrauch 95K for a few months but decided I wanted a PCP. After reading several reviews I narrowed it down to the BSA Scorpion, Logun Solo and the AGS PCR1. After handling each of them and listening to some sound advice from the wonderful staff of Arthur Bales Guns in Cardiff, I decided immediately upon the BSA SCorpion in .22 calibre. It handles beautifully and when fitted with the Weihrauch Sport silencer is whisper quiet, far, far superior to my Weihrauch.
After fitting my Simmons ...

I bought mine for £299 but seen them for sale £350 plus! Excellent gun, light, decent amount of shots at one fill, more than my buddys BSA Ultra which also is a good rifle, got a bolt action load mechinism, pretty easy, doesn't come with a silencer but the BSA SAS silencer is rubbish get a Logan or Weichraich, you won't be disappointed

Ah well, where can a start, it's easy to pump up and i'm 14 don't know what that other review was about lol. Anyway i've shot hundreds of vermin (rats is the best :)) with the BSA and i think it's great, the best pellet to shoot it with is Accupell Pellets i find them the best and so does my brother (he has a BSA Hornet). If you buy the BSA Scorpion i recommend you buy a silencer with it (SAS silencer) the gun is very loud.

The BSA Scorpion is very good for hunting as it is very light and can be handled all day long. It is, however, a tad expensive if you're not loaded with cash. Worth getting a diver's bottle as even if you're fit, pumping the gun up is hard work. Don't think the scorpions size affects the overall performance as it does not. This produces standards that a double the priced airgun has trouble living up to.
