Elmer_Fudd 28 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Dear Air Gunners, As the title suggests im looking at .177's and as i am new, i am trying to NOT do my usual and go get a super expensive gun, and running before I can walk. I have Got at the moment a BSA ULTRA .22 (which i want blue printed any advice welcome). But I would like a .177, to give me some variety and also that slightly longer range for when i get done with the basics and for as my level of shooting improves. All comments welcome as i am trying to build a good foundation of knowledge to help me progress forward. (Please excuse any spelling or grammar I am dyslexic, My lectures hate reading my work) Many Thanks Gareth Quote Link to post

Elmer_Fudd 28 Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Hello Bill, I am looking at getting another one in .177 however my local gun shop seem to push Brocock rifles hard and shooting one they seem the business to be fair. However second hand your getting more for your money and the gun is warn in (hopefully not warn out) so I am in two minds hence the thread. Regards Gareth Quote Link to post

Tough call mate, I have no experience with Brocock rifles myself. If you had another Ultra, you would have the benefit of being able to get it Blueprinted later on, same as the .22 Ultra, two very nice rifles sorted and on the money. Love mine .22, dont think Ill ever part with it. ATB. Bill. Quote Link to post

19powell90 89 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Would you say the s410 is solid gun then? ATB Gareth solid and incredibly accurate. i had one before my hw100 and i dropped it once and bent the barrell after sorting out the scope to cope with the difference it would still do 11mm groups at 30metres scott edited to add that the only reason i bought a hw100 is because i picked a hw100tk up at the shop and loved the mag system and side lever, i wouldn't say it is more accurate imo go for the s410 carbine Quote Link to post
