    BSA Guns has a long and deservedly proud history of making guns right here in the UK, or more specifically in Birmingham. In recent years some of its production was moved overseas, but the good news is that much of it is coming home, which makes me happy.

    BSA recently told me that the next new pre-charged pneumatic it would offer would be completely manufactured in England, and that is the rifle you see here – the Scorpion TS. What blows my mind is that not only is it a truly British gun, it's the entry-level, affordable model. Just £569 buys you a fine sporting rifle, made to high standards at a price you'd normally expect from a Chinese-made product.
