Bsa Ultra Se Advice And Tips

[sparkycrew 22]

Hi guys,so me and my lad are getting into air rifles,done some pistol shooting nothing serious just plinking,gained a permission on a farm and we can target and vermin shoot at our leisure,we have settled on a bsa ultra se single shot as we hope to try and join a field target club close by,having seen vermin hunters tv and si (zini) i belive on here,demonstrate the ultras capabilities i feel it will cover our needs well and we probably wont be in a hurry to change,but i have a couple of niggling questions which i hope you can help with

 

1,does anyone know if the rowan multishot mag fits the later ultra se with the bolt action, i know i can buy a multishot rifle iam on a budget

 

2,i will probably be refilling the rifle by stirrup pump,yes i know there hard work some say they allow moisture into the air cylinder,searching the net around 50% favour pumps the other 50% scuba tanks.My question is to refill the ultra's small air tank from 90 bar back upto 190 bar,which i believe is the sweet spot,how many pumps on average would it take

 

3,If refiling by stirrup pump in the field and the weather was cold and foggy would this introduce more damp air into the rifle,

 

any help regarding the ultra se would be welcomed

regards nick

From what I've seen, the Ultra is more than capable but as you mentioned, shot count is low. Simplest way around this is to buy a second hand regged version which has an after market reg fitted and will boost shot count to 65+ shots I believe and a used regged ultra should come in at circa the price of a new one.

 

I use a stirrup pump on my S10 and R10 buddy bottles and can fill from 100 to 200 plus bar in about 5 mins. my AA S410 TDR has a slightly higher shot count than the ultra and takes about a pump a shot so estimate about 35 - 40 pumps if you are using the sweet spot.

 

I know an awful lot of people frown on it but I have used my pump outside in the fog, granted under cover, in a reasonably dry but open out building, with no ill effect. The purists will scream, but if you've driven to your permission, zeroed the gun, plinked at a couple of targets at different ranges, you either pack up and go home or pump!

 

FX pumps have a moisture trap built in and you can buy a moisture trap for a Hills pump, i don't know if they're enough in the very long term, but they must help!

cheers buddy,the low shot count i can handle,at 6'4" tall i can get over the top of the pump and use my body weight so it was just really how my pumps it would be to re charge

thanks nick

I use a FX pump to fill my mrs Ultra SE. From 90 bar to the sweet spot takes about 2 to 3 minutes max mate. Its easy work too. Its s total myth that its hard work. Maybe for a poorly person or someone really out of shape but for a fit or averagely fit person its a piece of cake mate.
