My Updated Bsa Ultra

[Deker 3,453]

 

 

 

Fair comment, and no doubt (hopefully) it will shoot and feel better, but you still only have 12ft lb just like any other air rifle.

 

Fine for some, but if you want a decent rifle who on earth would start with an Ultra anyway?!

 

Just an opinion.

 

ERRRR some one like little hunter started shooting at the age of 8

 

to small to carry a bigger rifle around (even throw he could shoot a hw100, raider, hw97, pro sport and so on with precise accuracy out to 40 yrds off a bench at the range )

 

But not to hunt with as most are to big and heavy for him

 

and the ultra suits him down to the ground and will hold its own with the top rifles costing double the price of a new ultra

 

and will last him for years to come and then some

 

And not every one has top of the range money to spend on a top of the range rifle

 

BUT YOU CAN MAKE IT TOP OF THE RANGE by up grading it just like vm has and i am going to do to little hunters ultra

 

And iv had ALL THE TOP OF THE RANGE AIR RIFLES in spring and pcp apart from daystate rifles as i cant seem to justify £800 to £2000 plus on a air rifle

 

That a £399 ultra will out shoot every time

 

And will be in your gun cabinet every time you need it and not at daystates factory getting fix,d

 

Dont judge all ultras just because you had a bad apple

 

I had a bad apple in the bsa scorpion sent back to bsa twice just like yours they sent me a new one to replace it never had any bother with it at all.

 

Just got the ultra back from the RFD,s as it was leaking air had a full new seal kit put in her and its sorted

 

The one thing that lets the ultra down is the air cylinder 30 shots

 

So yes im getting one fitted so he has more shots up to 90 from 30 and thats a plus and well worth doing

 

and yes 30 shots is more than enough out in the field

 

but i take him to the range a lot to practice and you get sick of having to fill the bloody thing up lol

 

We all do things to our rifles whether its air or shell there is all ways some thing we want to do to make them better

 

THINGS THAT SHOULD BE DONE IN THE FIRST PLACE IN THE FACTORY'S before they hit the shops.

 

thats why there are lads out there like xtx air and Carl that can make the rifles better the way they should be from the start

Good grief, you are taking my comments out of context, of course the Ultra has its uses, but if the changes you suggest should be done in the first place were implemented, it would cost more to start with, and put it into a league where other rifles may be considered. "We all do things to our rifles whether its air or shell there is all ways some thing we want to do to make them better" No we don't, some of us spend a bit of time considering what we need and then buy it.

 

My point was simple, I just don't see starting with an Ultra and spending £2-3-400 tricking it up to make it a decent gun.

 

If you want a better gun, invest that to start with on a better gun.

 

If you simply want to personalise a gun that's another matter.

 

Like I said.... Just an opinion.

 

I'm not trying to start an International incident!

What i am saying is ,you do not need to spend any money on the ultra ,its a very good gun in it's own right

There may be some that will give you an argument on that, but that is not what I'm saying.

 

My comments all along have been based on starting with an Ultra and spending a load of money on it to improve it!

 

......NOT to personalise it!

So do you think a scorpion tac stock would fit Mitch if you have a longer air cylinder on

[villaman 9,979]

That i dont know

[philpot 4,927]

I think that Si Pittaway had a Scorpion stock fitted to his Ultra Mac when he had a full Ratworks makeover. Have a look on Vermin Hunters under ratworks reaper.

[philpot 4,927]

Here you go Mac, I was right they have fitted a Scorpian stock.

 

 

Phil

[bigmac 97kt 13,732]

If you have a look at my stock on the photos ,you will see its longer than the wood stock on the SE ,the SE tactical ones are like the scorpion

[philpot 4,927]

I didn't know there was a difference between wood and tactical stocks Mitch, I wonder why, you would think an Ultra stock was the same for all models. Handy to know that.

Well, I dropped off my .177 Ultra SE with Carl yesterday. I will next be in the area in about a fortnight's time, and can't wait for the result!

Without prompting, Carl spent over 30 mins explaining how my rifle worked, and how it could be improved. He showed me all the new parts he intends to fit (all made by himself on site), and how they fitted into my gun. You could clearly see his enthusiasm, technical knowledge and engineering skill, and pure commitment to open and honest customer service. The proof will be in the pudding, but I have every confidence my already decent rifle will become something rather special. I will report back in due course.

Mac

Why don't you look for a scorpion, as a alternative,

And sell the ultra

Just a thought mate
