Good Points: All wood and metal nice sporting trigger made in England
old world craftmanship nice blueing.
Bad Points: Here it Texas you can run around with a Air rifle in you car with out it being in it's case lock up the in trunk or boot as the law here see a air rifle as a kid's toy. But I had my BSA Supersport in the back seat in my car and I was pulled over by the State Troop's and they didn't believe me we I told the that it was a pellet rifle. So they took it to there car to look it up then came and and toss it in my Trunk and said here you BB gun back.
.
General comments: I like my BSA I can hit Bird in the eye with it. I use's a simon's 22 mag 4x scope on it. I had a hard time finding a Airrifle rated scope for it when I got this rifle in the 90's as alot of people had not heard of reverse recoil in the State's at that time' as this scope held up I tried another scope and broke it in about 10 shot's lesson learned. I guess were luck here as we get the full powered gun's in the State's If I do a body shot on a Black Bird it will go in one side and out the other side leaving a nice size hole. This was my first springer once I learned to shoot it right I liked the not having to pump 8 to 10 time's to get full power and the easy reloading of a break barrel. They don't sale the SS in the USA anymore but you can get the lighting it's the same gun.

This is a powerful and accurate rifle, the only downside is that there is too much recoil and this knocks the scope off point unless you constantly tighten the mounts. An overall good rifle though- Read Guest's review (35 words and 1 comment)

I do not own this rifle, a friend of mine does (user: Cognition) but I shoot with it often. I'd like to go into more detail with some of the points mentioned in Cognition's earlier review.
The checkering was indeed added at a later date, so most of the pictures of this rifle on the internet are not up to date - it actually looks slightly better than the picture! As far as more important factors are concerned it's very accurate especially with a scope (I've shot it a few hours ago with an "AG ...- Read Josso's review (192 words)

I was given the carbine version of the BSA Supersport in .22 about four years ago now. back then it was the perfect size for me, i spent every waking moment shooting it and put around 10000 pellets through the barrel in three years.
However, when i reached 15 i received a shotgun so naturally my air rifle was put away and forgot about for some time.
A month ago i got out my air rifle in the first time in over a year to discover that it was still perfectly zeroed in, the power was still we ...- Read Rob Cooke's review (304 words and 1 comment)

After putting a lot of time into researching which air rifle I should get as my first, I came to the drawn conclusion of the BSA Supersport - only just winning over the Weihrauch HW99s and Webley Xocet XS (which I plan to buy a bit later when I get more money).
Stripping the box away to get the gun out as fast as possible, I was not disappointed. The Supersport is a good looker; compact, with a nice finish to the beech stock. Taking it out of the box and holding it in my hands, I was surpris ...- Read Cognition's review (390 words)

I have just purchased this BSA SuperSport .22 with a BSA 22 special scope as a package for £180. I compared it to a few other rifles in the same price range like the Remington, Webley and a 2nd hand HK57, and I have to say this won hands down. I have a Logun Solo and an Airarms s400, and the build quality feels as good for a third of the money.
It is deadly accurate having taken out 3 rabbits in one hour and all one shot kills at approx 25-30 yds.
This rifle is not a toy or a plinker ...- Read Blackjackblue's review (141 words and 2 comments)

I've had the BSA SuperSport .22 for around a month, first time out shooting I bagged 3 magpies! Incredible accuracy and easy to zone-in, (5 pellets). The BSA SuperSport .22 is 100 times better than my previous rifle (edgar bros 60). I would recommend this gun to all hunters!- Read magpie murderer's review (73 words)

BSA SuperSport .22: I recently had a HW97k & traded it in because it was just too "overkill" for the backyard.
Not long passed & i had to get hold of another rifle for some shooting. The BSA Supersport was at a cheap price at a gun shop due to its condition. The woodwork was a bit tatty especially where the rubber recoil pad joins the butt. I guess its been stood in a damp place & the damp has got under the enamel. The metalwork in comparison was slightly better ..
apart from the barrel being ...- Read Russzero's review (353 words)

I have had a BSA SuperSport now for quite a bit. It is a .22 and had plenty of stopping power. The accuracy is also good with my Nikko sterling 4x40 scope, I was hitting a 1 1/2 washer at 40 yards! but now I feel that it is losing power, and now that I have an FAC I would like to increase the power could anyone tell me a few tips on tuning it to around 15+ fbl.- Read bumf89's review (92 words)

I bought my BSA Supersport .22 about 2 weeks ago for £130, this is my first gun and as I have a large build I decided to get a proper full power weapon rather than a junior one. The gun is very light and I found it quite hard to master with my scope (ags elite tactical 3-9x40). The recoil is quite Substantial. The action is very good and is easy to cock without breaking over the knee. Overall it is a very well made rifle. The iron sights are a little flimsy, and would only be effective to ...- Read jcow's review (122 words)

I've had a BSA SuperSport .22 for over 10 years. It still has good power (ME of 14+ fps) and is easy to shoot accurately. It is primarily a field air gun and its light weight lends itself well to this use. Its shooting behavior is very pleasant for a Springer of its power and weight. Although the trigger is not bad, it lacks crispness. Perhaps this has been improved upon in newer models. For the price, I think the SS is difficult to beat.- Read insmeister's review (101 words)

I have had the BSA SuperSport .22 rifle for 3 weeks. Everytime I get within range of a rabbit it has resulted in a kill (I try to stalk to within 30 metres, 25 if possible). Accupell seem the best ammo wise. I have noticed comments concerning recoil but would say that a firm but forgiving grip and practice is all that is needed. Anyway I do not think the recoil is excessive. The only downer is the plastic sights,(I use a scope) but they do cheapen the look of the rifle, but to be honest it was b ...- Read bantam321's review (124 words)

I had a BSA SuperSport .22 as a starter. I fitted a webley 4x40 scope on it and started to zero it in with eley wasps which didn't go well with it, so I changed to accupells and they were very accurate, with 3/4 of an inch groups at 30 yards. I was very chuffed when I bagged my 1st rabbit with it. it is definitely a perfect starter rifle.- Read daman's review (80 words)

I bought the BSA SuperSport .22 Air Rifle a few months ago and have been very impressed with the performance so far. I use it with a 3-9x40 scope which makes it very accurate indeed.
I use it for target shooting as well as hunting vermin. Its lightweight, even when combined with scope and good for those really long treks stalking prey.- Read bsasupersport's review (73 words)

I just got my BSA SuperSport today (April 2 2004). It took me 20 minutes to setup the open sight for 35-40ft range. Very accurate and good price ($375 CDN). This is my third rifle .22 for this year and I can really expect something nice from European Air Rifle. My next rifle will be the .177 Diana 36 and .22 Diana 350 Magnum.- Read sonic07's review (81 words)

for £140 quid you cant go wrong with the BSA SuperSport .22. but for the same price you can have a AGS-SR2. which is a really good rifle.
not too good for hunting. Once you shoot it. your quarry goes away, so you have to make sure it hits home first time.
so far only shot two crows with it.- Read cracker's review (67 words and 1 comment)

I have owned & used 3 of these over the years, and recommend them to anyone wanting a decent hunting rifle at budget price
If you are looking for an air rifle for rabbits & grey squirrels, combine this with a 4x40 for a winning combination.- Read UKRabbiter's review (75 words and 6 comments)

I Reccently brought a .22 supersport for xmas and have found it very good. Ive used several other airguns such as Gamo, Winchester and webley. But the s.s seems to be the best light high quality powerfull you name it rifle. It hasnt let me down when hunting and works well with targets. I have noticed one thing that throws me of target just a tiny bit and thats recoil but im not that used to it yet so I cant complain.
