I own a BSA GRT Lightning which only has a 10 inch barrel. This gun and the Lightning are identical except for the length of barrel. I can get 5 shot groups with the Lightning that you can cover with a dime. With this gun a 3 inch group is as good as it gets. yes, I have tried many different pellets and get the same result with all. Yes, I have cleaned the bore several times to no avail. My advice...buy the Lightning.
Things I would have changed:More accurate barrel.
What others should know:nope

This rifle is very accurate. It took nearly 1000 rounds to begin to group but this gun is very accurate with H&N FTT's and several other pellets as well. It is also very attractive. Looks are important, but accuracy is what it is all about and this is a remarkable rifle. I posted a rundown of the gun on the GTA forum with pictures of targets and the gun.
Things I would have changed:The trigger!! It isn't terrible, but the second stage is too long and overall the pull weight is too heavy. It would be nice to have this same stock design in synthetic as an option.
What others should know:The gun is a little loud. It is really a fun rifle to shoot. The cocking effort is a bit tough because it's a gas piston, but with 14.66g FTT's it is shooting between 692.5fps and 713.1. Average is 701.9fps and 16.04 fpe-21.75 joules with an extreme spread of 20.6fps and std. dev of 6.3. I could nit pick this gun if I was so inclined, but it is great. I spent the 10 for ten and I got a great rifle. Don't take my word for it. Go to GTA and look at my 20 yard 5 shot group targets.

I am here and thank you guys for your information. I got my lighting xl se .177 spring version two weeks ago and my supersport se grt yesterday 12/04/2013. I can't write my reviews right now because there is some issues I need to check before writing my reviews. Thanks and I like to read you reviews.
To Michel My review for my GRT Lightning is published it may help you. I just received my Supersport GRT .22 but too cold to take to the range, so I am interested in what you have to say about your Supersport.
to Val you had PA verify? My BSA Lightning is not hard stamped made in ________. It is not ink stamped made in _________. My communication with BSA UK informed me the Supersport is manufactured by Gamo in Spain as is all the other springers and GRT models. The only exception is the BSA Lightning XL-Tactical which is made in England. What is the name and e-mail address of the BSA UK general manager?
Ok, clarification I just got today. The barrels are still made in UK (and they are stamped as such), this particular gun is assembled in Spain. The only 2 guns still fully made in UK: Lightning Tactical (not in USA currently) and Supersport Tactical BSA Supersport Tactical Air Rifle...
ok, now that you mention Lightning, maybe that's what I was originally checking. I will be calling PA and post an answer here. Sorry for the confusion everybody if I am proven wrong.
Val, What is the source of your information?

Also BSA UK General Manager confirmed
It says so on the side of the gun, had PA verify

Beautiful stock. Great trigger. Easy to cock. However, the slack in the barrel hinge was so bad that I could never get a decent group. You could close the action and holding the barrel in one hand and the stock in the other feel lots of sideways play in the hinge. Odd that this was so bad as the BSA GRT Lighting I bought had NONE and was a tack driving little rifle. I took it apart, used a sharp punch to swell the holes in the barrel piece a bit smaller and have got much better results.
Things I would have changed:QUALITY CONTROL!!! The best hinge assembly I have seen so far is in the Crosman Nitro Venom which is less than $200. This poor of workmanship in a $300 gun is inexcusable.
What others should know:Be prepared for some adjustments if you buy this rifle.
