I chose to go for the Logun Solo now woth multi-shot mag for around £300 brand new & have never looked back, its a fantastic gun. I also bought a diving bottle off fleabay for £55 so cheaper than a pump ! Gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss12 Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 get the s200 it has a higher shot count, a lower fill pressure and can be upgraded to a self indexing 10 shot the only disadvantage of the s200 is that the barrel is not threaded so your stuck with the air arms one which is'nt the best but still works well. ss12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Sam Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 The Ultra seems good, I had one but after a hundred shots or so got annoyed with the stupid front cocking. Loading pellets was also horrid and fiddly. Could not wait to get back to a decent bolt action. Finish on the rifle was rough too. The AA S200 is a nice gun, I have shot one a few time, nice and compact and very accurate. Should be as it is made by CZ ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyjaimz Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) S200 all the way mate! My first pcp was a 2nd hand S200 with the 10 shot magazine system, AA silencer and an adjustable butt pad I picked up for about 200 squid all in. Bloody accurate gun (match grade barrel), very lightweight, good shot count (even in .177) I used mine for hunting and could easily despatch the bunnies at respectable distances. I even changed the stock on mine to a black thumbhole one. In fact, if I didnt have an Air Ranger now, i'd have another S200 any day. Hope this helps mate The top rifle is my old S200 Target from a zero-ing session last year Edited January 25, 2008 by monkeyjaimz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps mate The top rifle is my old S200 Target from a zero-ing session last year gotta agree get a 200 mate i got a 2nd hand mk1 for 200notes and its not missed a beat, you can get 1/2"unf adapters from the likes of rowan engineering so it can take a weihrauch or similar silencer, theres several differant multi shot kits for them and plenty of other 'bling' items to choose from, and the fellas on the air arms owners club are a superb bunch too....i know -im one of them lol lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

08shooter Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 air arms first choice then the bsa im sure it will be a capable gun but id stay clear of logun they usually let someone else build it then badge it as theres. id stick with gunmakers who make and develop their own. i know the s200 is made in coherts with cz but it is fantastically accurate and reliable to boot. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen, AA are without doubt an amazing make but when it comes to badmouthing Logun, I just aint having that. The solo is made by FX in Sweden who are a reputable company and is a very well made & balanced gun. I tested various versions of Air Arms, Loguns, BSA's etc etc and chose mine and am glad I did because its a fantastic weapon at a fraction of the cost of the rest. ... like you said its your opinion but it doesnt mean to say its not wrong.
