Seamaster 153 Posted September 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Some may disagree but I'd opt for the v-Mach with HW's. What made you choose TbT for it? I do have one for my PS, but found that the internals of the AA springers are better from new, so literally only use the guide. My thinking was to replace the intire lot for the v-made spring/sleeve etc for my 97. I don't know if the TbT kit is as good as the vmachs for HW V mach kit is the way to go with the 97 full stop and i should no iv had plenty of them top class rifles but do need a tune and polish get it done now dont wait until its bedded in as once the kit is fitted you will just have to bed it in again and may even have to take it apart if the power stays over and it will go over once a kit is fitted and it takes a few tins of pellets to bring her down the benefits of a tune,d and polished rifle will be noticeable strait away less recoil smoother action and very accurate by far And less noise atvbmac :thumbs: It's settling down as it is Mac but I'll look at VMach.I've been signed off work for the next two weeks for reasons that I won't bore you with so I'll have plenty of time to test.

Chris If its settling down then just give it a polish and tune and put a kit in later you will still get less noise and less recoil and less recoil means better accuracy atvbmac :thumbs: Quote Link to post
Seamaster 153 Posted September 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Well it's gone back! Safety catch went wangy so I took it back for repair. While I was there I bought an Ultra in .22, plaggy stock with an HW silencer, these new BSA magazines are brilliant. It's a very accurate gun from what I can make out after an hour. The next couple of weeks off work are going to be interesting. Chris Quote Link to post
villaman 9,982 Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Chris , you seem to buy a new gun every week 1 Quote Link to post
Rez 4,961 Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Where did you get it from? Going on we're in the same county and that. Edit. Both rifles I mean. Quote Link to post
Seamaster 153 Posted September 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Wragby mate. The R10 I got from Country Sports of Boston. Chris 1 Quote Link to post
Rez 4,961 Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Good shop. I know it bloody well. Imagine that, your there when I go over I say good shop, I think the customer service is superb, but I have to say there knowledge lies a lot more in the full bore and bullet side of things, when you ask any of the brothers about the air rifles, they almost done seem to know the finer details.

That's true mate, although Chris knows a fair bit. They have always looked after me and I like listening to the old boy's stories. Chris Quote Link to post
Seamaster 153 Posted September 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) Just to add. I've had a play today and feck these Ultras are cracking little rifles. I know Mitch has had trouble with BSA customer service and it's wrong that they've treated him how they have, but this little Ultra is a bloomin' marvel. On AAField 5.51 it is honestly pellet on pellet. I know that's a cliche but this rifle actually does it at 40yds. From a full charge it does the first 30 shots with 5fps variation, from an unregged gun I couldn't ask for more. My HuMa regged R10 Super Carbine does 8fps variation and the same with my HW100. What do you lads reckon? £440 for a gun that matches guns at four times the price. I'll shut up now, it's just that I'm gobsmacked by this little cracker.

Seamaster 153 Posted September 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 I have been saying it for a long time Chris , these are super guns even the old ones I know you have mate, and I've not disagreed with you.I've even started to think, why not just have one in .22, one in .177 and, maybe, one in .25. Then I'm sorted and don't have to worry about regs, electronics, fecking shite Harper valves or anything else. I'd just have to fill up more regularly. Chris 2 Quote Link to post
