This handsome springer represents the newest chapter in the incredible success story of the BSA Meteor air rifle. It features the potent combination of a full-power action rifle with a beautifully checkered beech stock. The Meteor Evo answers all the demands you have for a serious hunting air rifle and will become your new best friend in the field.
Fitted with a BSA-made, cold hammer forged rifled barrel, and a fast handling stock that is checkered exactly where you need it most, the Meteor EVO provides for full control under any hunting condition you find yourself in.
In addition, the ABT Safety system locks the barrel down during loading and prevents firing until the barrel is closed.

Light weight. Inexpensive. Easy to break open and my gun is surprisingly easy to cock for its power. H&N High Speed wadcutter 7.5 grain is shooting at 981 fps, JSB Exact 8.4 grain is shooting at 902 fps. Another surprise is the smooth firing cycle for such as cheap gun, no "Twang", no "buzzing" and sadly no "thump", very little recoil and muzzle jump.
Things I would have changed:Make the trigger weight adjustable. Gun is loud, make it backyard friendly or machine a 1/2" UNF at the muzzle.
What others should know:I purchased the ,177 caliber from Pyramyd Air. Many Plastic parts, including the Breech Block, trigger, open sights and end cap. Trigger weight is NOT adjustable. The only adjustable part is the 2nd stage travel.

Nice looking rifle for under $200. Firing cycle is different than all my spring airguns, it has no twang, no buzzing and no thump or puff; the internals are quiet and all you hear is just the report that sounded like a bang. Unlike my Diana, HW and FWB break-barrel air rifles that need a hard slap or a hard pull to break the breech open, the BSA Meteor was surprising easy to open. Breaking it open and cocking can be one smooth motion. This makes the rifle very pleasant to shoot. JSB Exact 8.4 grain averages 904.7 fps (15.27 ft-Lbs) and Beeman Kodiak 10.3 grain averages 786.1 fps (14.14 ft-Lbs). The ease of cocking is a surprise. The power it produces is also a surprise producing 15 to 16 ft-Lbs., For such a light weight gun with 15 ft-Lbs of power it has surprisingly little recoil and muzzle jump. this gun like so I just pick JSB Exact. First stage trigger pull is long and the second stage breaks at 4 Lbs, but trigger break clean like the HW Rekord.
Things I would have changed:Allow the trigger pull weight to be adjustable. Finish the wood stock like shown in pictures which is lightly color stain and glossy finish.
What others should know:The breech block is not made from metal; it looks like plastic. The cocking arm links and pins are not plastic like one reviewer here claims; they are metal. Many plastic parts to make this rifle light weight Breech Block, Receiver End cap, trigger. The inlet of the wood stock doesn't look like it is cut for the Meteor but for another airgun. The inlet cut made in the fore-end looks like it is cut for a barrel band, so most likely it is for a PCP or Co2 air rifle. Check the guns accuracy using its open sight at 10-meter. I shot two 5-shot groups in the FT sitting position using JSB Exact 8.4 grains. I don't know which ammo this gun like so I just pick JSB Exact. Both 5-shot groups show a vertical pattern less than 0.9 from top to bottom. I expect this shot pattern because I use the 6 O'clock hold and cannot distinguish the front sight being a little high or low when shooting. If I mount a scope, I will get a very small group. I am surprise to learn how accurate this cheap gun is.

I liked the size and weight of the rifle,seems well made except for the plastic breech .Fit and finish was pretty good , blueing was good and wood finish about average,nice this Rifle comes in .22 .
Things I would have changed:The plastic breech was problem for me,I could just not get over that, I do not like a lot of plastic used in my guns - gun was returned for a full credit ,Pyramid Air was great on returning an item I was not happy with .
What others should know:Would like to shoot one of these BSA Airguns and that might change my mind on the plastic breech,the reviews are pretty good for a lower cost .22 light weight airgun.
