I have owned two meteors, a mk4 which cost me £20 back in my teenage years and more recently I bought the mk6 for my son to use. The rifle hasn't changed much over the years and im happy to say it still retains the quality feel you expect from BSA and the price makes it an easily affordable first weapon. The build quality is as good as ever and once zeroed you will be able to produce some satisfying groupings, also the power (about 8ft lbs on mine) is quite enough for a younger / first ti ...

Good, I liked the feeling of the gun very light portable.
I dont like the power of it i shot at a rabbit at about 10 yards and did not kill it it bounced off it. Its a good overall gun and i would recommend this gun to others but it wont suit everyone.

I was given a mk 2 Meteor (made in the 1960's) a few years ago and it was in a bit of a mess, and recently got round to sorting it out. All it needed was a few spare parts (seals and new spring) a couple of hours TLC and some basic mechanical knowledge and It was working properly again. This is a great first time gun for anyone starting out in Airgun shooting, light, accurate and affordable. If you know what you're doing you can quite easily and cheaply take this gun towards the legal limit ( ...

Very reliable as the build quality is second to none. Priced at around '£120 this makes for a great present for someone just starting out.

I got this the other day, third hand, 30 years old, and it's my first rifle. It's still great! takes rats with no problems, and I fitted a new scope so I can see a bit better... I would recommend this as a good starter gun.

I bought my Meteor for a couple of months ago and I'm very pleased with it. The accuracy is very good and i can easily hit a 10x10 cm target at 40 m(with iron sights). I guess the accuracy would have been even better with a scope mounted and match pellets. The only negative thing with this gun I could think of is the plastic sights, they are very good and easy to adjust but I prefer metal sights. This doesn't matter if you are going to mount a scope on your meteor, because you can easily take th ...

This is a cheap, inexpensive weapon that is more than perfect for a first time shooter. All though underpowered, it is deadly accurate under 30 yards, which is about its limit, It will go through most things but not plastic or thick metal. No problem with cans. Goes best with longer pellets like the wasps .22 .

The BSA Meteor is accurate, cheap, reliable but not too accurate and underpowered. Buy it if it's your first gun.

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 choi ...

It will go through one side a beer can put don't even bother shooting plastic bottles because it doesn't go through them.
I have shot one rabbit at 10 yards and the pellet went through its skull and killed it instantly. I would recommend this gun for starters and people who need accuracy at close range because this gun is very accurate.
The pellets sometimes get stuck in the barrel but this is because mine is 40 years old and has been put in and old damp attic put i soon sorted that out by put ...

I received my BSA meteor .177 cal for my birthday from my wife. I had a magnum many years ago also .177 and after all that fun really nagged for a rifle something with a bit more accuracy.
Gun looks great, sounds great and has a nice little "kick". will be getting my scope soon!

I got this rifle - my first - under a week ago and i love it. it is really accurate and perfect for target shooting in my garden. i have not tried any animals yet as i have only just zeroed the scopes in but i should imagine it would cleanly take out a rabbit or a pigeon at 30 yards because it is quite powerful. compared to some air rifles it is not that powerful, 8ft lb compared to 12 but the meteor is still 22 times more powerful than a high power BB gun so its great for me. also, get it in .2 ...
