    I bought this rifle a while ago, as soon as I saw it I knew it was going to be great. The wood, finish, and general build are superb. It looks lovely.

    I used RWS Superdomes (These are 100% the pellets for this gun) I'm drilling a hole at 15m. At 30yrds, this rifle still performs, it's highly accurate, and very pleasing to fire. The recoil is pretty intense, maybe this will lead some to be less accute with this gun, but it's quite satisfying to be honest. The trigger could have done with being ...

    You know, ever since owning my very first BSA Meteor, it's been, well, if you could fall in love with an inanimate object then I would have to say in the airgun world, I would be in love with this little beauty.

    It doesn't have the power of the hoards of 1000 fps air rifles available today. It doesn't have sensational styling, moulded stocks, or the dayglow sights, and the raised cheekpiece on the stock is not so great looking compared to some. As a matter of fact it looks rather like a "Plain ...

    I agree totally that the BSA Meteor is a brilliant first rifle. I got my .177 for my 14th birthday 46 years ago. I've used and abused it but it's been nothing but pure joy for myself and for my sons. Sadly times have changed and opportunities to use the gun are not what they were. I never got on to well with the telescopic sight, preferring to use the sight on the gun. In my day I was a crack shot taking on everything from match heads to edges of cardboard, hanging my head in shame at the number ...

    i was given one of these BSA Meteor rifles yesterday for free ! of one of my mates :)
    its a good gun, great accuracy.. i have no scope for it as y mate took it off and uses it on his more "powerful" rifles. thats a point people who are new to this rifle or any rifle... when finished with the gun leave the barrel broke not all the way just the first click. that way it wont go stiff and will keep the barrel inside clean

    i bought the BSA Meteor gun for £140 from a rifle shop near me and it was the best thing i ever spent money on in my life the powers amazing for the price the acuracy always hits where you aim at altough i had to adjust the sight slightly because it shot a tiny bit to far to the right and on the subject of sights it has fully adjustable luminous sights and a full scope rail a bit lous and a bit of recoil but it has rubber buttstock it could probably kill small game such as pheasents squir ...

    This gun is a very good gun for a first gun and would recommend it to any body thinking of buying a spring rifle. A little noisy with the shaking of the spring. Very light good power and a very nice looking gun.

    The BSA Meteor Mk7 has a very capable full power, full size spring powered air rifle. If you like a rifle with recoil, this is a good first rifle that you may never want to change. Over 2 million Meteors sold, so can't be too bad ! Quite capable in its basic state for 10 - 15m vermin control or garden plinking, although with telescopic sights this rifle would really shine. The BSA Meteor Meteor Mk7 is a full power, break barrel, spring action air rifle. Whilst no where as smooth or as quiet as ...

    The BSA Meteor is very good for small game, lots of power, though the barrel can get very stiff.

    The BSA Meteor is a great air rifle. very nice handling, good weight, very good price, easy for beginners, useful in all conditions and all types of huntings. Today i found myself in front of a deer while i was in my shalet and it took me 1 minute to take out my meteor and shoot the deer due to the guns perfect aiming

    Ive got a mk7 meteor 22 great hunting gun the only problem was i needed to pack the the back of the scope mounts out so the cross hair would go any were near the target but once i got the packing perfect oh my god what a perfect gun for hunting nice and light .
    Can hit a pellet with another pellet from 40 yards a slight twang of the spring but when i got 2000 pellets (the amount to properly break in the gun) the twang went.
    The only real noise is the slight air pop as the pellet leaves the barr ...

    I have one of these and over the 40 years of its existance it has only had its breach seal replaced ,the barrel de-rusted and the trigger mechanism oiled and serviced, all for about £30! all in all its a very reliable and cheap to run air rifle as far as maintenance. it is also easy to upgrade, i had its original hunting scope replaced with a "hawke 4x36 HD" target scope, and the spring upgraded. Now it is as powerful as an air rifle can get without needing a firearms licence! also they a ...
