BSA BSA Lightning 22 magnum

Anyone have one of these? How much are they worth?

I believe the one I'm looking st is an SE model.

Here's what it looks like.

If your not talking about the gas ram model Ive got one in .22 I gave 275.00 or 300 for mine 6 yrs ago... its been tuned and had trigger work done to it..its a 35- 40 yd squirrels worst nightmare. Its very quiet in the woods, shoots right at 14ftlbs with H/N FTT pellets and isnt pellet picky at all.
Been told mine is one of the Birmingham made ones.

I had the gas ram model and it was super accurate also but very stiff cocking, traded it for a metal detector.

Thanks for the info! I think this one is a springer. 14 fpe is plenty for its size and purpose. I don't currently own any breakers, and I'd like to get this one to start with. Always liked the compactness of them.

A little jumpy. It's pretty powerful for it's size. No spring twang. I have the standard model in 177 and .22. Made in Birmingham. Very accurate
BSA barrels.
I never could find an SE model in good condition. I should have bought one new. Every one I see is scratched up and I'm picky. But I also keep mine nice and very, very rarely mark them up.
I do see one for sale that's not too bad. But I need to sell some more than buy any...................................And I just bought another HW55 this morning...... Makes 5 HW55's :oops:
