They made quite a few versions, some are better then others. Very hard to get parts for, I have a CF2 I've been trying to find a bolt for (for less then the cost of a new rifle) the last couple of years. - dan

iwas thinking this may be a cf2 aswell what do you think it has the smooth rounded type of end on the bolt assembly with a brass "tit" on the top
 
There motorcycles where finicky at best hopefully there scopes are better i just ordered one.
 
I just picked up a BSA Model 12 Martini action 22lr competition rifle with full bull barrel and peep sights. Its about 100yrs old and it shoots like a hot damn. Aside from that its accurate too. If this is an indication of their quality then you have nothing to worry about. Quickly becoming a fave. Then again BSA made better firearms than motorcycles but most of the problems with the cycles were the electrics. They were supplied by Lucas Electric-often referred to as the "Prince of Darkness" as well as being the reason the British drink warm beer. Lucas also made fridges. Sort of...

The gun club I learned to shoot at 40+ years ago had a bunch of those, although maybe not as fancy as yours. I'd love to have one again. I also have a BSA-sporterized P-14 that is very accurate.

As to the British drinking "warm beer"- REAL beer should be served at "cellar temperature." Ice-cold is for rats's piss. (Flame-proof suit ON now!) :p

BSA scopes arent BSA. They are Chinese, imported with stickers put on. BSA ceased to exist a long time ago. The new sporting rifles as opposed to those made up from surplus parts were done when the L1A1 contract finished to keep the factory going.
long gone, much missed. I believe the air rifles are imported too.
 
Well josquin, at least here in Canada we have a choice. Me, I prefer my brew cold and also my port sometimes. Hard to cool down on a stinking hot day with a brew thats only as cold as your cellar though....

Today being a good example! And I have to admit that even my amber ale is in the fridge as I don't (currently) have a suitable cellar.

However, I think today is an excellent candidate for a nice COLD gin & tonic with bitters. :cheers:

Talking about warm beer. One year on opening day of bighorn sheep on a certain mountain, I left my vehicle at dark in the morning in mid September. I'm always one that can find water to drink on a mountain, so didn't take any. Hot day, no water to be found, hard clibing all day. Late afternoon I return to my vehicle, very dehydrated. Game warden was waiting there. My first words were, "Have you got anything in that vehicle to drink?" He said the only thing he had was some beer and it "might" be warm, since his vehicle was in the sun. I said, "It will be wet, let's have it."
That beer was a cross betwen warm and hot, bit it WAS wet, I guess better than nothing.
