huntmad. 67 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hi guys the misses as asked for a rifle for her birthday , she only wants a knock about one to take out on a walk with the dogs so was thinking of a BSA hornet. Just woundering if any of u have had or shot this gun for a review on it , any help would be great , she used to have a webly spectre that she loved but don't wana spend that kinda money again Quote Link to post
Bendover 67 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Nice guns if you find a decent one mate, the ultra mk1/mk2 is a smaller version of the hornet if size may be an issue. Quote Link to post

Thanks il have a look at the mk1 an 2 , the only reason I ask about this gun is because a shop up with me got them an they are only £100 so affordable for the misses to take it out an knock about with it but I wanted to know wat they are like as iv seen some cheap guns like that and they have been terrible , it's the synthetic stock one Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Hang on do you mean the Hornet break barrel? BSA Have had 2 rifles called the Hornet, one is a PCP, which is the bigger older brother to the Ultra, the other is a cheap break barrel whih is a rebadged Gamo pile of erm, well, lets just say a conglomeration of parts masquerading as a rifle.... http://www.surplusstore.co.uk/bsa-hornet.html break barrel. http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews5983.html pcp. Neither of these rifles seem to be made anymore (in fact the pcp has not been made for years)... Edited February 18, 2014 by secretagentmole Quote Link to post
