strimmer_13 Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Well was doing a bit of crimbo shopping and yet again decided to have a browse.... Every time I go in avalon I buy a bloody gun, think I might need to join 'alcoholic guns anonymous' or some such. Any ideas what pellets it will like? Bar to shoot from? Ect ect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a .22. I got it from the street branch of avalon guns for £550, free tin of pellets, but ive spent nearly a grand in there this last 6 months. I just find them faultless as sellers, and a decent bunch of lads to chat too. I went down the .22 mark again as im used to the trajectory. I've 1 .177 and I never use it, so it's going for sale this weekend, plus I have a few different brands and makes of .22 where as hardly any in .177 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strimmer_13 Posted December 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Thought I'll get her makeup, get some nasty stall fried food to help my heart failure and have a looksie at a gamo boxer which caught my eye. Instead held the ultra and bought it after 2 mins. She thankfully didn't notice the other gun I bought a few months ago and I'm hoping the same with this..... 4 minutes ago, wymberley said: Don't panic.

strimmer_13 Posted December 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 And a real stupid question, which I don't care about asking as I'd feel even more stupid if I broke it, how do I load the mag up? It's spring loaded and tbf the most flimsy mag I've ever held, so I'm a tad worried about breaking it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultrastu Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Nice gun strimmer. The bsa ultra in .22 is a very unfussy gun .and it should shoot most quality pellet well .but some worth trying in order of which my bsa s like best Falcon accuracy plus 13.4 grn Crosman premier 14.3 grn Bisley lrg 14 grn Jsb jumbo 16 grn Whats the gun you want to sell . Just wondering ? I've never managed to break those mags they are tougher than they look . Only one thing dont rotate it all the way round to no10 and then let it go (when empty ) it can damage the pellet stop inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats my selection so I'll go with jumbos, I'll try accupells as well as I gave a full tin to my mate to use in his rapid which he sold I'm going to get rid of the falcon fn, I use it once or twice a year. After much shouldering in the last hour, I think I'm converting to it, but i reckon it looks like a toy on me being so tall 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttfjlc Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Nice gun mate, I've been toying with the idea of getting one of these or an S200, the limited shot count on both doesn't bother me going on the lack of pests on my perms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't generally have the dough to spend but ive had a really **** year health wise and I thought **** it I'm having a new toy as soon as I saw it on the wall. Bloody shop, I must show more restraint. Good job I didn't have my sgc on me or I'd be really skint 😅 51 minutes ago, Ultrastu said: Nice gun strimmer.

GingerCat Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 My bsa likes jumbos and jsb rs. The group size is the same but the rs are quite a lot flatter so easier to shoot. Both have the same effect on quarry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job I didn't have my sgc on me or I'd be really skint 😅 , I've got a car repair bill heading my way soon then I'll see what is left, I really like the look of those Ultras, a handy little gun to have to go wondering around the woods plus it would be easier for my youngest to shoot with. I bet next time you go you have your shotgun certificate in your back pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't reload or need any more shotguns (I have 6) but it's a itch ill have to scratch. 10bore on crows might get a tad expensive 😂 23 minutes ago, GingerCat said: My bsa likes jumbos and jsb rs.

Brilliant ill give the jumbos a go as they group in the fx alright as well, tho the air arms are best. So plan of attack, take the jumbos, zero it at lunch, nv on and go ratting tomorrow night and get it covered in cow **** by 9pm 🐮 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttfjlc Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) Honestly mate if you shot with a 10 bore for a few hours the Ultra would look like this, Edited December 22, 2020 by Ttfjlc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love .22 hobbys in ultras .they shoot well out to around 25 /30 yds and give a nice splat on old Roland. Cheap and effective . of those pellets in your picture for rats id use either the hades or the superdomes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
