JABB Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Background: I have sold my HW77k to buy a PCP. I have always liked the look and feel of the AirArms S300 / 400, and I don't mind the look of the BSA Hornet.I had these in my shopping list to look at, and got the funds last week.BUT, in stepped Dad. He has Multiple Myloma and is in third stage ( last ). 12 months ago, he bought a BSA Ultra multishot .177, as throughout his life he had had shotguns, rifles and air, and wanted to still retain a gun, albeit to plink tins in the garden. He bought it new, with a scope but no pump, thinking he would buy a bottle. He has now got to the point of no return and has admitted he won't use it and will sell it to me. Basically, he bought it, and was told to store it full. Because he didn't have air, he has locked it away and never fired it. The scope is still boxed, as is everything else. It is a new gun, at family rates. Great I hear you cry, but I don't much like it. It is too short for my liking!!!What do you guys think? I have approached the selling dealer, who really don't want to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFN Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 If you think it's too short then get rid of the totally pointless BSA stubby moderator and put an HW on, it will look better, sound better and still be compact. Or sell/swap it for something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JABB Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 sorry but what do we think can I ask about what cheers Evo Am I mad not taking the ultra, or would I be better trying to sell an almost new gun to buy a AA or Hornet. Are they all about the same in performance, thus being down to appearance, or do you suffer a little with the ultra being small? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countryman Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 The Ultra is a good compact gun, i use mine mainly to shoot from the cab of my pick up, it will hold its own against any other pcp. the shot count may be a bit low being a small air cylinder but is easily filled with a hand pump if you don't have a dive bottle.

I'm a 6 foot 17 stoner and I know exactly what you mean If the price is right why not, otherwise I'd have a look at the second hand market to see what I can sell it on or swap for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
