Ultrastu Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) Very nice .that is the second generation stock for the bsa scorpion . The first is like mine below . Mine was actually the bsa hornet stock.left over after bsa stopped making the hornet and startes the scop . Your mk2 was a dedicated scorpion stock that was shared with the ultra (shortened) .and is actually my favourite one . Id put your gun at 2008 Mine was 2006 - 07 This is a shot from a bsa catalogue from 2008 Edited April 11, 2020 by Ultrastu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebridges Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 Two nice guns there. My Ultra .25 looks different again. I know nothing about the gun. I bought in secondhand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 Mk3 "western style " my leasy fave as its comb is very low from 2009 And the 2010 scorpion se the forth incarnation of the wooden scorpion So the current mk4 se stock is very good and has been in production my minelli for 10 years now .with little change other than a slight fore end shortening for the ultra max .

I shoot another .25 in FAC and bought a serious amount of .25 pellets off a fella that stopped shooting. This Ultra was in the rack at a local RFD and i thought i'd buy it to help use up the pellet stash. When you said it was a CCS (Customer Configurable Shoud) I remembered an article in one of the mags. I've looked it up and it's on page 74 of The Sporting Airgun Handbook Volume 12. The article featured a gun which was fitted with an ambidextrous sporter black pepper laminate stock SRP £699. I paid £400 for mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) Here is my .177" T-10 Scorpion. I like the stock not having the cheek piece on both sides (I'm right handed) but only on the one side for a right handed shot. OTOH it still has the silly daft thumb scoop on the left side near the bolt. Why? No one I know holds a rifle with the thumb other than round the stock. Not held up on the same side as back of the hand. I also like the fact that there's no air gauge on these models. I count magazines to know how many shots I've fired and if it needs a refill. The "action" appears slightly longer, as it is slightly longer, I had Phil Crampton at Ratworks fit an inline regulator. The moderator is the Hogan Decimeater that I think was weight for weight and size for size the most efficient and the most elegant of all the then available moderators.

Ultrastu Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) I often shoot thumb up and all my bsa s allow it with the thumb scoops at the rear of the action .it can provide excellent trigger control reducing the tendancy to pull the gun side ways when tripping the sear Edited April 11, 2020 by Ultrastu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
