@Johnny 7 - what a blast from the past on some of them... Recognise the Daystate Huntsman, Theoben and the wacky Gunpower Stealths from when I was a kid ![Cool :cool: :cool:](/styles/default/xenforo/vbSmilies/Normal/cool.gif)

But used as the action for the Gamo Phox (and the many other names they sell the same thing under with a slightly different stock) etc.BSA Buccaneer that was developed from the BSA Scorpion in to a carbine, Not very common these days!
A couple of Jackals, Top one is Air Arms Combat, Bottom one is the older Sussex Armouries Hi Power.

I have the all black version that i think was bought around 1996. I'm currently looking for the stock/arm brace that you could get for these but they are as rare as bloody hens teeth.Webley Nemesis single srtoke pneumatic..

Hi Avalon, Both the Buccaneer and Scorpion I mentioned are older springers, This is the Scorpion that I meantBut used as the action for the Gamo Phox (and the many other names they sell the same thing under with a slightly different stock) etc.
My mistake - I hadn't paid close enough attention to the photo and had forgotten that BSA produced both the Scorpion (aka Shadow when fitted with a shoulder stock), Buccaneer and Trooper in spring guise. The Scorpion and Buccaneer going on to be PCP's, with the latter becoming the Gamo Phox etc. With you on the Ultra's though, they're lovely little pointable things and an ideal field gun or for the smaller shooter, it's one of the few BSA's (other than a Scorpion in Union Jack stock) that i'd quite like to own from the modern era. A shame, as on paper, the CLX/R10/R12 should be great guns.Hi Avalon, Both the Buccaneer and Scorpion I mentioned are older springers, This is the Scorpion that I meant
The Bucc is a Carbine, Actually the same size as my Ultra Multi at one metre long (That's what the toolbox is)
A bit of a Necro and a story behind this. So i picked this up for £350 with all of the above. Scopes about £55, bag about £15 so the Rifle was prob about £280. It shot well and accurately but it had a small leak so other the space of a week it would lose all the air. I was tempted to try and service it and as i started to take it apart i decided it was probably better to have it done by someone who knows what they're doing.Bought this today, albeit not brand new but at a price I couldn't sniff at and with the saving I've made i can do the work i want to it and still have change left over against if I had bought it new.

Bought the below as a package:
AirArms S410 .22 Pre-Anti Tamper
Nikko Sterling Mount Master 3-9x40 AO
Generic gun slip
Then grabbed a few tins of pellets for it, some AA Diablo Fields, H&N field Target Trophy and some EDGAR BROTHERS HiVel Pellets
What sort of ‘gunsmith’ doesn’t warrant the work they do and provide a chrono print out of a shot string showing the gun is both consistent and more importantly legal? Ratworks aren’t perhaps known as much for servicing/tuning AA, more BSA/Tench, but AA are pretty simple and not a lot has significantly changed on the platform in decades, so should get a decent result as long as you stick to the sweet spot.
