Design and Features[edit | edit source]

The BSA Supersport Air Rifle is a break-barrel, spring-piston air rifle, which means it uses a coiled spring and a piston to compress air to propel the pellet.

It is available in .177 (4.5 mm) and .22 (5.5 mm) calibers, catering to a wide range of shooting activities, from target practice to pest control.

One of the key features of the BSA Supersport is its adjustable two-stage trigger, which allows shooters to customize the trigger pull to their preference, enhancing accuracy and comfort. The air rifle also comes with an automatic safety, which engages every time the rifle is cocked, adding an extra layer of safety during use.

The stock of the BSA Supersport is crafted from hardwood, giving it a classic look and feel, while also providing durability and a comfortable grip. The rifle is also equipped with open sights for quick target acquisition, and a grooved receiver for mounting optical sights, such as telescopic sights, for enhanced accuracy at longer ranges.
