I don't know a thing about tx's except they must be very fine rifles. But sure want you to feel welcome here. Tell us more about your shooting. Hopefully some one who know about Tx rifles can offer some help. I'm just a 1 year springer guy learning about the R7 and BSA SuperSport. I managed to take 2 grouse with the R7 early this fall.

Thanks for the welcome Dand.My first rifle was a BSA Cadet,
bought in 1954 with first weeks wages.You have a good rifle
there with BSA.I dont know R7, but the grouse was good shooting.
Bye for now.9c3gj

I got the Super Sport 3rd hand and its taking me a while to learn to use it. Made progress last night after reading here somewhere that a guy uses a step ladder as a shooting rest. I'm just trying to figure out the accuracy potential of this gun since its history is unknown. I shot it off the bench for chronographing but was only getting .6 to 1.5 inch groups at 28 feet. Began to suspect the hard rest bags and forceful spring were responsible as I was shooting some beeter groups offhand.

Sure enough, standing, resting the forearm on a ladder step with a soft bag under it, I got most groups in the .5 inch with one 6 shot group that almost looked like one hole. Maybe I don't need to send this gun to Russ Best for a $110 tune up. At least not right away. I may want his trigger work though.

Hey tx shooters speak up!
