oneshotkiller Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 I’m in the market for a nice compact pcp , something for ratting and occasional rabbit or squirrel while up the farm yard and in the woodland . The Bsa range look nice and compact but I haven’t had one since the early ultras and the low shot count and leakage I had put me off ? Has the bsa range improved ? My falcon light hunter was great for ratting and squirrels but I’m wanting something new , just has to be a compact rifle . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultrastu Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 I have one of the new bsa ultra clx guns . It's light .accurate short and has a shot count of 60 in .177 which is twice as much as the very early ultras (for the same size gun ) . I love mine and it has all the features you could want - anti double loading ,cocked indicator , pressure gauge etc best of all its cheap for such a quality gun from a British manufacturer.

Ultrastu Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Spot on . Never skipped a beat . Oh .hold on ,the barrel did work a bit loose .but its very easy to tighten back up as the screws are on the top of the breech . 10 second job and sorted .

oneshotkiller Posted October 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 I’m not a fan of the look of the bull pups to be honest I know that shouldn’t really matter but I like a rifle to look like a rifle haha. I will take a look at the Bsa range thanks lads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pork chop Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 On cheap side look at a p15 Mid p35 top end agt vulcan/uragan/vixen ,these are a little more than your budget though but we’ll worth the extra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
