SteveieP Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Shot count is a bit low i.e. only 20 in .177 or 25 in .22 Saw a guy at the range a few weeks ago & they are a bit loud without a silencer. My springers are quieter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilsparks Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Hi mate, why not take a look at the BSA Utra, I think this is a massively underrated rifle. It's small, light and quick to the shoulder, incredibly accurate(BSA make some of the best barrels in the business!) and bang on for power. The downsides are the low shot count ,about 30-40 at full power depending on calibre, and the MMC cocking system, which some people love(I'm one of them), but other people just can't get used to. Another similar rifle is the BSA Hornet, the predecessor to the Ultra, slightly larger, longer air cylinder so higher shot count 80-90 full power shots, but heres the best bit-IT'S REGULATED! The Hornet is now discontinued so anything you buy will either be secondhand or old stock from the RFD's store room, but don't let this put you off, you can pick these up ridiculously cheap for a regged rifle, and because many of it's parts are shared with the Ultra, spares arn't a problem. Hope this has helped Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigchap Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 is it the multishot or the single shot? either way it's a good deal especially if it's a walnut one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullet boy Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Save that little extra and get an Air Arms S410!Other rifles that have been mentioned are too fiddly to load IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loopy bunny blaster Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 get an air arms s400, s410 if your desperate for a multi-shot, it will be worth it in the long run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
