    I own an HW77 & BSA Superstar. I always tell everyone that my HW77 is my favourite air rifle, but I actually seem to take my BSA Superstar out much more often...
    Much safer loading mechanism when compared with the 'Bear trap' that is the HW77. Nice and light when compared with the brilliant HW77. Intuitively accurate when raised to shoulder and shot quickly.
    It's not as aesthetically pleasing as the HW77, but does look nice. Does require more maintenance than HW77 to keep the Superstar in top ...

    I've had this rifle from new, its one of the early ones. It is still my favorite rifle, much more characater than my PCP, has to be one of the finest springers ever! Powerfull, accurate and no need for air cylinders! It is a bit heavy but that nothing really.

    It would be fair to describe this as the rifle that saved BSA, before this they were still making and relying on designs that had been around for ages. If you can find a cherished example grab it and look after it, you wont be disappointed. It is almost beyond comprehension that BSA have not developed and continued this rifle.

    Very accurate to 30m. Can hit a penny at this distance every time. Although it is quite heavy.

    The BSA Super Star is a nice, quality gun!

    I have had my BSA Super Star for years, not really sure when I bought it, maybe 1990 or 1991. She is .22, I bought it with a 3-9x40 Bisley scope and 1 piece mount. The scope died and the one piece mount has long gone. I now use a Simmons Whitetail Classic Compact 1.5-5x20 scope. I have a silencer fitted but cannot remember the manufacturer name. Fitting of this required scope adjustment. I had the rifle chrono'd 4 years ago using Field Target Trophy pellets and 11.9 was the power reading o ...

    The BSA Superstar .177
    I've been given one by a friend at work, I thought it was a bit old and heavy, till I stripped it down give it a good cleaning, degreased and re blued it and a little drop of oil
    I then put a few pellets through it, then I thought what a lovely gun, the accuracy for this old gun is fantastic
    I was hitting a 1p at 25 meters 9 out of 10 shots,
    I don't know what any body else thinks but it's good enough for me,

    The BSA Superstar will suit most air gunners needs good hunting rifle and will cope with field targets with ease. In my opinion better than rapid series 250 shots per charge is good. Had number of guns through the years this is the best there is. No need to have any extra power than 12ft lbs to tune this gun would ruin it with lack of shots an accuracy. Trust me I have tried you don't need the extra power if you can shoot straight

    At 13 my dad got me a .177 brake barrel [unknown brand]which I loved and spent all the money I could get my hands on buying pellets for. By my 15th b'day I wanted a .22 so I traded in my old .177 for a BSA Superstar [just released?]
    Now I was not the biggest 15 year old and the weight of it with scope took some getting used to but when I did I could out shoot all my friends. Happy days. It has lived in it's rifle case now for a good few years as I have been living in towns and to fire it in the ...

    I was looking for a second rifle down the ranges as my HW35 is getting on a bit - 25 years old - and came across the BSA Superstar. Ever since I laid my eyes on it I can't stop thinking about it, its accuracy is spot on without scope and I totally recommend using .22 Logun penetraters with it, suprisingly the most acurate rifle I have ever used, I think it could certainly could compete with (PCP)'S. It's perhaps even better than some top range modles. Finally build quality is superb, the stock i ...

    I bought my BSA super star air rifle when it first came out. I was just handed it along with a selection of weapons that I'd chosen to try out (dealer said that I might like it). Superb balance - I used mine for pest control work for my employer on overtime (hence its paying for itself).

    The spring gave out eventually (during pest control sessions I would grind out silly amounts of pellets)

    I found it worked really well with a 4 x 40 scope at 20/25 metre ranges.

    I bought my BSA super star when they just came out; it was used daily for pest control to 45 metres, and plinking practice. The spring gave up at about 15000 shots, and was replaced with a gas ram, which has finally died at approx 150000 shots. piston, gas ram and other items have now put the rifle beyond economical repair. Bsa rule! Now bought a hornet.. and its even better, time will tell if it lasts as long!

    Every bit of all the old BSA super star are tough they dont make them as good anymore in my opinion. The super star was the best looking and most powerful

    I have bought my BSA super star second hand from Allcocks gun shop in Worcestershire, it cost me 129.00 GBP which I think for a gun of this quality and power is reasonable.
    I had been looking at a Cometa 300, but on trying out the BSA there wasn't any comparison. I have only tried about a dozen pellets through it yet so can't really speak of accuracy, and anyway I have still to fit a scope. I fired from about 10 yards at a floor board and it went straight through and also through the wooden sh ...

    I bought this BSA Superstar Mk2 .22 Cal. new from Quality Sporting Arms a month ago and after
    shooting some 3000 pellets with it I can only say that I am very pleased with this rifle.
    Fitted with a Hawke Varmint 8X32X42 scope on a
    one-piece Sportsmount with built arrestor pin
    it is very accurate. On a target range of 30 yards I get 12 mm CTC groupings. The two-way
    trigger works very well and is in the same class
    as for example the Rekord-Match from Weihrauch.
    The pellet loading port take ...

    Bought mine in 97'. I have the .22 carbine version. I have pillar-bedded the action. Also, have installed a Theoben Gas Ram. Have drilled 2 large lightening holes in te buttstock. Total weigh with Burris 6x compact scope is 7lbs.15oz. Firing behaviour since with the Gas Ram makes it feel almost recoilless. Most enjoyable air rifle I have ever owned. Crossman Pointeds go 3 shots in a single cluster. Regular copperheads(flathead) do the same.

    I have had this air rifle for a bit now and can handle it's slight recoil the best pellets by far are eley wasp 5.5mm
    This air rifle is a classic and is so acurate and if I could I would by another one. For those how want to know its primary use I would say it has the accuracy of an ft(field target)air rifle and the hard hitting of a serious hunting air rifle and constently hovers around 11.8ftlb with an ox accelator spring size 3 around £17 Has a very good bag filling potential and I rea ...

    I bought this gun about 5 years ago second hand (about 6 months old). The person that had it before me had kitted it out with carry case, silencer, good quality sights and mounts and a woven leather gun strap. I had had a few airguns before this but was totally stunned with the power of this gun especially with the right pellet (I use the magnum double shoulder or prometheus) The spring snapped when it was 2 years old so I had a more powerfull spring fitted and now 5 year old this gun out perfor ...
