BSA Scorpian Multishot

In my personal, limited exploration of the historical content on the internet on the BSA Scorpion Multi-shot .22 I find little information. I'm sure this is due to the rapid technology advancement of PCP rifles, BSA and Air Arms included. Nevertheless, I am a lover of traditional rifles with beautiful walnut stocks, with precision accurate barrels, so the BSA Scorpion Multi-shot, though an early 2011 entry to the PCP field, I have read virtually all of the threads on AGN on the Scorpion, trying to research technical information on my "early" (2011?) BSA Scorpion Multishot .22. I am flying against the headwinds since the receiver block of my Scorpion has no factory printed or embossed information about this rifle. Only the barrel, beneath the shroud, has the manufacturer and caliber of the barrel imprinted. It does not have a manometer, but I think it will take 232 BAR of air, just like my new R10. This thread is for those of us who like traditional BSA rifles, and would like to post those nuggets of information they have discovered over the past decade, to help those of us who are just discovering these jewels. Huma Air and Rowan Manufacturing are two companies that support this rifle as well as airgunspares.com ; https://www.air-superiorityproducts.com/ : https://www.bakerairguns.com/product/bsa-scorpion-multishot-pcp-air-rifle/ :

Hi!!

I don’t have a BSA Scorpion, but I have a BSA Techstar. Bought it new on 2006, IIRC it was $ 275 (oh my, those sweet old times). It was my first PCP and I still have it. An excellent gun, 22 cal. and very-very accurate. It has no manometer, and gives low shot count per fill, but it is a laser. Good reliable trigger. I am sure if I shot it long distance (with regulated tethering) it would do very well. The MMC cocking feature is great for hunting: You cock for taking the shot, and can uncock if the shot is aborted, super easy. Not something you can do with an auto indexing magazines. I bought a “magazine kit” from Rowan Engineering years ago, so it now is a multi-shot. Work well. I love those older BSA’s...

Thanks for posting!

Owned several Scorpion based BSA'a in the past 10 years or so. To this day still have TWO that get used/shot semi-regular.
Both have been extensively massaged to personal wants & use requirements.

#1 is a Gold Star & Scorpion hybrid.
#2 is the Scorpion Single shot converted to an AATFA legal Field target pistol.
