TommyL 0 Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 BSA Supersport with one piece mount or HW77 or BSA Mercury, running 10.5f/lb, fitted 4x32 scope Is this a good rifle for a first timer wanting to shoot rats rabbits etc?? Please advise Quote Link to post
Guest pete evans Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 HW77. i used one for years. Great gun Quote Link to post
maty j 6 Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 the hw77 is the better gun but will probably be more expensive and i think its allso the heaviest, but thes supersport would be ok just to start you out with. the one peice mount could allso be usefull if you choose to put a scope on but it depends on prices and condition of the rifles. the HW is about £254 new were as the supersport only £139. you get what you pay for though.

Guest quinny1 Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 HW77- They go on and on, never had a problem with mine....bit heavy but helps with accuracy. Quinny Quote Link to post
bunny bouncer 0 Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Tommy Go for the 77 [bANNED TEXT] you wont regret it Plus they hold there price better if you sell it later Quote Link to post
Garypco 3 Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 I DISAGRRE WITH MOST YOUR OPINIONS GUYS,IVE OWNED THE HW77 AND THE BSA SUPERSTAR,THE HW77 IS A GREAT GUN BUT WEIGHS IN AT A WHOPPING 11 LBS,the superstar is only about 8lbs its a great gun to use as well simple easy to cock and load the hw77 is a bugger when u got cold hands too u drop loads of pellets tryin to load it,the superstars a tad cheaper i think u can get a gas ram for it where u cant for a hw77,and you can get a quality silencer for it where the 77 silencer is shit,dont get me wrong the 77 is a good gun ive owned one,but being built like a brick shithouse is a must cos its so heavy,the superstar is a craking summer gun ideal for squirrels and rabbits,hope this helps guys,problem is u didnt say how old u was,so dont really know if the weight applys,just the same tho it would be the superstar for me....

Guest smokin Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 77 - undoubtedly <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The hw's are the way to go imo - nexver found the weight to be a problem and im a short arse. got myself a hw100 these days in .177 love it to bits, my falcon fn12 and theoben fenman have spent some serious time in the gun cabinet recently!!
