Probably the most accurate hunting 22 I've ever used.
Is this a collectable item

Bit confused mate. You say a Sportsman 10 but then go on to say it has a 12 shot tube mag.
The Sportsman was made in single shot, 5, 10 (the rarest) and the 15 shot.
The 15's come up regularly on Tardme, the 5's less so (often missing their mags) and occasionally the single shots.
The 15's seem to go for between $80 and $200. Less than top dollar if someone has side mounted a scope, threaded for a suppressor, sanded off the BSA trademark on the stock. Not greatly collectable.

Numbers made The BSA SPORTSMAN & SUPERSPORT RIFLES

The 10 shot was only made for a short period of time and then replaced by the 15, supposedly to satisfy the Oz market with a largest capacity mag, or so the story goes.
