BSA scorpion pistol in the 70s seriously overpowered back then!

That rifle stand looks as though its been through a few wars dan have a good bank hols

Fab review as always Dan and so please you liked the rifle. I have an Ultra and R10 and absolutely love them and l think I’m now going to have to add a Scorpion to the gun cabinet. Keep up the good work, your reviews are the best on KZfaq.

How times have changed eh Dan lol. The last BSA Scorpion I owned was in the 1980's and it was actually a pistol in .22, can't recall if they had a rifle variant back then. I believe it was one if not thee most powerful air pistol of it's time. I do remember it was a cracking pistol, very accurate, quite bulky for a pistol as you'd expect from an old springer pistol.

I do wish (some) air rifle manufacturers would get wise to what contemporary shooters require? One thing being pic rails! In my opinion a pic rail to the 6 o clock position should be standard. Static pest control at distance requires a bipod for that definite pellet placement, range shooters also require it, home bench shooters also need it. As for the scope mounting, dovetail is pretty much outdated as a pcp mounting option. You don't need dovetails, as it's not a springer and doesn't produce as much recoil scope creep. This is why companies like Reximex offer the best choice for scope mounting. They give you a dovetail/pic rail combo, thereby not isolating their customer base into buying new mounts for their scopes. As we all enjoy shooting safely and it's at the forefront of airgunners hobby, it really is time that manufacturers took this aspect of the hobby seriously. It seems to me that they're cheaping out when it comes to manometer placement. If they put their manometer placement on the side of the rifle or on the underside of the forestock, ANYWHERE that doesn't have you staring down the business end of the rifle..... Then this gives you a base level of added safety measures on which to overlay you're own personal safe shooting regime. They should be leading by example. Companies such as BSA that have a long and well esteemed history of arms manufacturing, should especially be at the forefront of this manufacturing habit. Personally if I had a choice between a PCP from a well known named brand that had the manometer on the business end, or, a PCP from a lesser known manufacturer with the manometer in a safer place on the rifle - I will go for the safer option every time.

After a year of testing my best groups have been with QYS Domed.

Definitely one of the better bsa’s 👌👌👌

Great review Dan, that’s cracking accuracy from a brilliant little rifle, well done mate. 👍🇬🇧

Really interesting review Dan keep up the good work 👍

Great video. Cheers Dan.

Top review as always Dan. 👍

Great review and that looks like a really nice rifle.

Assuming the chronograph test was with unweighed pellets the actual mass can affect the results and tighten the energy spread. Using the nominal mass for each calculation can give an artificial energy spread since velocity may be changing due to the mass rather than the gun energy release. Great review and really helpful 👍

Dan mentions a single shot tray. I have the 0.177 version and BSA say there is no single shot tray option for the Scorpion TS, only for the earlier BSA Scorpion. However, with a little modification the single shot tray from the original Scorpion can be made to fit. Inside the magwell on the bottom right (looking in from the left hand side) you should see a small triangle of plastic, part of the mag holder. This will stop the BSA SCorpion single shot tray from fitting, as the single shot tray is square on the inside edge, unlike the curved end of the magazine. Very careful removal of that triangle of plastic will allow the original Scorpion single shot tray to fit and does not hinder fitting the standard magazine in any way, although may cause issues if you need to return the rifle for any warrantee work. Mine now works fine with a single shot tray option. Also, mine isn't ammo fussy and will group well with almost any pellets put through it, with only a PoI change evident because of the different ammo weights and characteristics.

👍 Great review After many years of various pcps I recently bought an ultra se and glad I did Cracking little rifle also loves ftt's .... Think it's a keeper as the gauge is in the right place 😁

If the stock is a new moulding it is a shame they didn't take the opportunity to cast in some pic rail at the front.

Got the Goldstar SE, based on the scorpion I believe, one of the most, if not, most accurate rifle I own, that includes the Redwolf, it truly is fantastic, doing seals in filler unit at the moment, I've owned it for years and never took it to the range, so this coming Sunday will be it's debut, a fantastic vid Dan, on a great rifle, just do me a favour, give the Debin stand a quick wipe over, looks like youve dug it out of a ton of cow $h¡¥ 😂

Now that I like lovely looking gun and I for one don't believe the reg is needed. I got the AAS510 ULTIMATE SPORTER NO Reg and no reg in my s400 both spot on Nice review Dan

I think the scorpion is much better choice that the ultra , it's only slightly longer and has much better shot count. Thanks Dan , I'm obviously not the only one.

Great video would just like to say for those who like to have the single shot option also there is a guy on ebay that 3d prints single shot mags for these.

Always like your reviews, they’re excellent 👍 but….that pressure gauge does not have to be viewed right from the very end of the barrel to check the pressure. Look again, the lens is cleverly angled so the gauge can be viewed easily without having to be in front of the dodgy end.

Bought one last year had to change from paper targets to toothpicks and matches. Really didn’t expect it to be as accurate as it is.

Great shooting, bit of exercise won't hurt keep setting the targets, personally I'd get auto reset ones, basically because I'm a lazy git. 😂

My daughter has one and (when she lets me shoot it) seriously challenges everything I have!

The problem with the mags is they are far too easy to double load. Polish the sears before adjusting the trigger. Mine loves RWS Superfield though AA Field are very marginally better over 35 yards. However the are also a hell of a lot more pennies and for hunting it isn't worth the extra as the RWS do the job. For HFT the AA Field every time.

I'm about to buy a pcp and I'd narrowed it down to the reximex pretensis, now you throw this one in the works! So with your own cash which would you honestly recommend??

These new scorpions , seem like a cheapen down version from my BSA Scorpion SE version , no mag retaining catch , the air gage has been moved to the front the old scorpion has it underneath the stock , it be good to see a video of this version off the scorpion vs the older SE version if you have one floating around

I had one for 6 months but I took it back, the gun was nice and it handled great….. but it shot terrible😡. My grouping point moved every day I used it, sometimes as much as an inch from my zero point. I used dozens of different pellets but it just shot bad. I was told it was sent back to BSA and they replaced the barrel on it. Just my luck I guess..☹️

Is the Scorpion £100 better than a Gamo GX250? Don't know what the situation is now but upmarket trendy BSA were bought out by down market no name Gamo. Can't help thinking we are being charged extra for the BSA name. Just about everyone has reviewed the Scorpion but not many have soiled their hands with a GX250.

Mmm, Gx40, phox, coyote, absolutely brilliant rifles,anybody notice there's no barrel band?.. Eh big Dan..

Dan, when is the review of the RTI being done.

Maybe mine is an older Scorpion stock but my gauge is underneath.

Dan please try the ata airborne

Just like the gamo phox is the most accurate 22 ive ever shot but everything else feels cheap and clunky. Wouldn't be seen dead with a bsa air rifle.

Wasn't the point of this rifle from bsa to produce a budget high quality pcp that's made in ENGLAND! 💥🥊

Looks like my Gamo

Never understand the logic of making a synthetic stock on a budget rifle with a right handed bias. A fully ambidextrous is really not likely to put off right handers at this price but could discourage a few lefties. Makes no sense to me. Apart from that, looks like a good lower budget pellet pusher. ATB MMMD

Only 20 minutes!!!!!!! Have we upset you?

Closest to babe station I’ve ever been 🫠
