Ultrastu

Yeah the last one is sweet . A touch heavier than standard cos it now has 2 triggers and springs but its fine and feels very positive

Trigger linkages

My ultra se .in .22 did 60 shots in the sweet spot. Not bad for a short gun

Before Rhd diesese wiped out the whole area and the local cats and foxes got a taste for the remainder of them .

The main thing you have to remember with airgunning is that we are dealing with a single low energy projectile . Even with a .25 cal fac its still not massive .yes a .22 should carry more energy down range than the equivalent. .177, but that very small difference makes no difference to the quarry. Putting the pellet in the correct place is the key 95 % of the time .so choose a pellet /calibre that allows you to do that. And u will have success .

.177

That one in the pic is .11 fpe .and .177 I mainly use it as my competition hft gun .when i do it goes in a different stock .

Very few topics bring a lump to my throat .but you just have . Feel for you pal . Post us a picture of her if you can .

My single shot mmc ultradoing the bussiness .when i had rabbits on my perm

Ok .as a first (and possibly last )pcp airgun to biy and own .i would massively reccomend a bsa ultra. Se Reasons - Relatively cheap .excellent quality .very accurate .easy to work on and tune .loads of after market bits .Not pellet fussy .light to carry around .short and manoverable ..easy to pump up . BRITISH . Dont forget it can get expensive quickly .gun ,scope, mounts ,silencer , pellets bag .chrono .targets. pump /bottle .rangefinder ,Camo clothes . So starting out with a £1000 gun could leave you short. A bsa ultra se should be around £ 550 New and £400 ish sh. And as they are reliable a sh one is a great option .

Just cos i like this photo

So i belive bsa set their r10s in .22 at 28 fpe with 16 grn aa fields . I think the .25 cal r10 is 35 fpe which honestly isnt enough speed. Ifyou want a .25 cal go for an fx bullpup Or a big bottle gun .

Thats rather a strange question .? Presuming you mean a fac .22 r10 set around 28 fpe ? At 200 bar it should be 28 fpe. Same at 230 bar and also 175 bar . A regged gun should give the same energy irrespective of the pressure in the gun . (Up to a point obviously) ie no air left.

Well r10s are regged .so i theory you can fill to 230 bar (what they are rated for .) But ive heard that some r10s dont like being filled much over 200 bar as it upsets the reg.?? If you go for say an airarms s510 extra they only like 200 bar anyway .and 200 bar is easy to pump to .its the last bit to 230 + thats hard.

It is .very true . But its not possible or practical to carry loads of different guns out with u every time i go shooting and pick between them depending on quarry and location . (Though i do often take.a few ) I think the .22lr and .25 fac air ,are similar and can be pretty close in terms of performance i certainly didnt feel under gunned last night compared to my mate .22 . People often ask if fac air can compete with .22lr ,when trying to make a desicion what to go for .. And also remember your feo is more likey to grant air over rf .on a tricky perm

I pump up my 300 cc wildcat to 230 bar from 140 bar with my fx 4 stage turbo pump . Not too hard . I stop in the middle and count out my pellets (50 ) and then carry on .takes about 5 mins including the stop . A 200 cc bsa r10 is easy really . I dont think i would pump a 500 cc daystate tho .

Its often the lower velocity rounds that bounce the most .as there just isnt enough speed to deform the projectile on impact . So a .30 cal 50 grn pellet at say 900 fps could be as bad or worse than even a .22 lr . Heavy and slow equals richocet and pass through

Couldnt agree more mate . But i guess what im trying to say is that the .25 really pulls a close second and is very capable .under testing conditions. Also the reason i got the second rabbit and not the .22lr .was the shot was against a thin hedge which can have live stock behind it .the risk with the .22 lr was too great so the decision was to use the "safer "☆ .25 ☆ See less ricochet risk

Best thing to do .is say you want to set one up as a dedicated night vision gun with nv scope ..the other a day scope gun only .

Been out this eve after rabbits with my mate . .25 cal fac air and nv . He had his .22lr . (Sako finnfire ) its awesome . And me my wildcat . We had 2 shots on rabbits and a missed opportunity on a 3rd . The first shot was a given at 40 yds with the .25 in a strong cross wind i gave no windage and bowled him over . Second was the missed opportunity.as my mate lined up the long range rabbit 90 ish yds he hopped off 3rd was a 65 yd rabbit across an open field with a strong wind 90 degree to the shot .with my .25 ..i gave about 1.5 inches of windage and dropped him in his tracks. This .25 cal is holding its own against my mates .22 lr . Very chuffed .

I feel my hush 20 b is good for 40 yds .45 at a lucky push . My .410 hushpower .25 yds- .30 yds at a lucky push .no more .

I dont think the pellet would exit the barrel with only 25 bar behind it .

So what happens when you over fill an unregged gun is you can get valve lock . Ie there is so much air pressure (lets say 275 bar ) pushing the valve closed that the hammer and spring hasnt got enough force to tap it open .you effectively end up with a gun you cant fire or get the air out of. Without stripping the gun VERY gently to release the air. Most unregged guns shoot around 100 bar of pressure in an acceptable sweet spot. So from say 220 bar down to 110 bar. Or 180 bar down to 80 bar . Regged guns allow you to shoot over a wider range than just 100 bar .so say 250 bar down to 80 bar .giving more shots at the top end. Cheers
