The side lever action is smooth and positive. The scope rail accepts standard 11mm mounts. The adjustable trigger is set at approximately 2.5 lbs out of the box.

BSA Scorpion TS Magazine — 10-Shot Capacity
The 10-shot rotary magazine is the Scorpion TS’s key feature. The magazine sits flush in the action and feeds pellets reliably. You can fire 10 shots before reloading. This is a significant advantage for pest control and target shooting. The magazine is easy to load and remove for cleaning. Spare 10-shot magazines are available separately, and we recommend buying extras for extended shooting sessions.
BSA Scorpion TS Problems — Honest Owner Feedback
The Scorpion TS has received constructive owner feedback on UK airgun forums. The most common issue reported is the pellet probe being stiff to operate, especially when the rifle is new. Using standard domed pellets such as JSB Exact or H&N Field Target Trophy resolves most feeding issues. Some owners have reported that the moderator adapter can come loose, causing accuracy issues. On the positive side, owners consistently praise the Scorpion TS for its accuracy, shot count, and smooth side lever. One owner called the Scorpion TS “a brilliant British PCP”. Another said it was “accurate, consistent, and a pleasure to shoot”.
BSA Scorpion TS Accuracy — What Owners Achieve
The Scorpion TS produces excellent accuracy with the right pellet choice. The BSA cold hammer-forged barrel provides legendary accuracy. Owners recommend JSB Exact, H&N Field Target Trophy, and Air Arms Diabolo Field pellets. One owner reported sub-1-inch groups at 35 yards with JSB Exact pellets. Another owner achieved consistent results at 40 yards with H&N FTT pellets. The adjustable trigger contributes to the rifle’s accuracy.
