Good Points: Very accurate, loads of shots per fill, almost silent
Bad Points: Too expensive, I don't like the 10 shot mag it is unreliable, heavy.
General comments: This is a great gun. I have it in .22 however I wish I had it in .177 as mine is 12ft/lb and there is a lot of drop. The mag is not as good as I would hope for the cash the gun does not always load first time because of this. You have to fire off a 'blank' when it does not load witch is loud and a waste of gas.
however if you use the correct pellets (Accupell, Matchpell) you can put pellets on top of each other at 35 yards. When the mag works it is a nice action to use. Trigger is great.
hope this helps.
Dave.

I have had two .177 BSA Supertens in as many weeks! First one a .177 bull barrel carbine, Very poor finish Mag wouldn't index correctly 7" groups at 30m! (My .22 AA s410k puts in 0.5" groups at this range with ease!). Second one a standard carbine.177 much better finish 2" groups at 30m
I now properly have more makes of .177 pellets then some shops due to the amount of brands I tried in these guns! Seems a lot of people have had the same sort of problems in .177 so maybe BSA needs a rethink on ...

I've been around spring rifles & pistols ever since I can remember, recently when I decided to get serious about hunting, I started to look at pcp's for there quietness & lack of cocking when around the quarry. My first choice was a BSA Spitfire because they are so cheap. Upon receieving the spit I found it to be very long with a silencer fitted and not that good at quick target aquisition so I decided to plump for a Superten. Bought one Sunday teatime and scoped up in the garden. I was very kee ...

This rifle is the most ideal rife for my kind of land.I often need to use long shots 35+ yrds and this rifle is well up to the task at 11.9ft lbs. It also is wisper quiet so i can dispatch rabbit after rabbit before i'am noticed. I would reccomend this to anyone who take shooting seriously.

All in all the Superten at 11.9ftlbs with a Simmoms 3-9 X 40 scope is one of the best purchases I have ever made in a gun.
Well done BSA.

I wish i had known about the possibility of water damage on my BSA Superten Mk1 as i would have treated the stock before taking it hunting. BSA said the rifle was not made to be used outdoors? Does anyone know how to beef it up? many thanks SEB.

I found this gun to be superbly accurate, after running 200 shots through a chronagraph (.22cal) i found very little varience between velocity.I liked the gun so much i bought another one (.177cal) which i had converted into a Stalker Tigerten LE.

I bought this gun recently having previously used a HW90K and various spring guns.I have found the rifle to be more accurate than any other rifle I have fired and the amount of shots from 1 fill mean there is no need to take charging kit with you.For those who really go to town a spare buddy bottle cost about £36, compared to about twice that if you buy a rapid 7.
