roffrod Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Looking to sell my .22 rimfire and buy myself a BSA ultra se multishot in .177. Any body else own or owned this rifle?

countryman Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) I am looking at one of these as well, i did look at the FX Verminator, but at over a grand it seems way to much money, BSA have been around since Noah was in short pants so i cant see it being a duffer, would be good to hear from someone who has one though.

roffrod Posted September 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Ive heard of people having them reg'd which doubles the shot count and keeps it in the sweet spot for the full amount of shots. Costs about 120 but sounds like money well spent. Just need to sell my rimmy now to fund one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djgeoff Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) i had one, the early type, bit of a pain cocking and loading but spot on, shooting from car window was brill, mine liked bisley .177 magnums had loads kills with it. recently sold it to chap on this forum, he wanted it for rat-ing. sold it to upgrade to bsa r10 mk2. http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/topic/252903-bsa-ultra-multishot-177/ i believe the newer model is far better for cocking etc Edited September 9, 2013 by djgeoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) The newer model is loaded and cocked by a rear bolt, the first model is loaded by pressing a dinky little switch (that often breaks), then catching the probe before it reaches the end of the spring (which can break the probe), then pressing the probe in, it is then cocked by pulling on a mechanism at the front of the stock (which is damned nigh impossible if you are carrying it with a bipod fitted unless you fit the bipod back to fron so the legs fold up towards the trigger, which then makes it awkward to hold with the legs up). By which time the target has collapsed laughing and then legged it.... Buy an Ultra SE! Edited September 9, 2013 by secretagentmole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roffrod Posted September 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 I've heard mixed feelings about the cocking action of the BSA. Again a very valid point that I will make sure I'm truly happy with before taking the plunge to actually buying one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 I've heard mixed feelings about the cocking action of the BSA. Again a very valid point that I will make sure I'm truly happy with before taking the plunge to actually buying one. The older model's was a complete farce. I've not heard anything negative about the new system yet? Now they've gone back to a traditional rear bolt action, it's made the Ultra the mini-gun it always should have been! I've had a play with them and I really like it. If i ever need a gun for shooting in tight spaces, the SE will be top of the list to look at, especially as there are plenty of places to get them fitted with regulators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullet1747 Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Looking to sell my .22 rimfire and buy myself a BSA ultra se multishot in .177. Any body else own or owned this rifle?

Longbower Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 I have the Older Ultra.22 Multi shot Tactical. Being the older version it does have the Cocking mechanism that everyone seems to dislike so much. But for me , being able to have a pellet up the breech, and de-kock the rifle so the trigger isn;t live while I crawl under an electric fence, or negotiate some other obstacle, has proven to be a bonus. I have had the Ultra regulated by "Tench" (who you will find on the BSA owners group forum) , which doubles the shot count (not dear) and does away with the so called "sweet spot" and lower fill level, I have shot probably many 1000's of pellets through it and have never had one breakage to date. It is fitted with a HW 100 Silencer it is my No 1 bunny hunting weapon. And I do own a .22 Rimfire. I use the lightest .22 pellets I can (Falcon) , for best trajectory and impact contact area. I have a BSA Lightning gas ram , which is absolute PANTS, so if the Ultra was anything but good I would say so. The newer one with the Scorpions bolt, is very slick, and nice to use, but dont be afraid of the older ones. BSA ULTRA MMC Tactical. AA S200, Both Tench regd. HW95K .Venom Tuned . BSA Lightning GSR. Winchester SXP 12G; Baikal 611 o/u 12g Webley Scott 410 3 Shot, Baikal 12g Single. Cz brno .22lr .10 shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roffrod Posted September 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Thanks longbower the reg is something I will be considering if this is the rifle I finally settle on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkfanz Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 i have the earlier ultra with the button on which some dont like but i do,when waitin for bunnies allways keep one up the spout and just push button when a target appears,in 177 multi has accounted for lots of magpies an bunnies.

Longbower Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Another , very able good quality pcp is the AA S410 Carbine.Not Regd, but really doesn't need it. Good luck with your gun hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikiork Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Hi . I've got one .177 cal Great , small , well balanced rifle .the only <<problem<< is about 40 shots per fill . Deadly for rabbits at 65 yards ;-) very nice to use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinribz Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Wots the point of buying an ultra se then paying to have it regd just buy the scorpion se its small enough to use in tight spots has all the new features 60 shots in .177 and no power curve as such ive got one and its fantastic pellet on pellet through the 60 shots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roffrod Posted September 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Is that so? I shall no google the scorpion and have a read up. Again more valid insight. Thank you. I wanna buy once and buy right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinribz Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Try and have a go before you buy the scorpion is defo worth every penny imo great little gun its never jammed on me and if i miss its me not the gun have a look at some of the reviews on youtube very highly rated and it wont break the bank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbower Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 My friend has the Scorpion SE, and i must admit it is a excellent air rifle. As Tinribz says, it doesnt appear to to require a regulator to get a steady output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
