AirgunGuy 362 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 The low shot count on the Ultra is not an issue if you're hunting but a pain if you're at a range. Probably best to go for something like a BSA Superten mk3 which is regulated and will give you around 110 full power shots with no power curve. Another to consider would be the Air Arms S400-S410 with around 60 full power shots though with the S400 series there is a power curve as they're not regged as standard but you would fill to 180 bar and that would take you straight into the sweet spot. The Superten is a bit weighty whereas the S410 is a lot lighter, especially at the front end. You should be able to pick up either for somewhere in the region of £350 second hand. I have both rifles and they're superb, easy to get parts for and the parts are cheap to buy. As for calibre...don't even go there ha Quote Link to post

GEOFF.223 83 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 the most important thing is to try an get a air rifle wit a regulator this will improve shot per fill and accuracy hw 100 peep say they are not reged but they are. some theobens fx some bsa's a mildot scope and a ranger finder is crucial for pinpoint accuracy on all air rifles Quote Link to post
webster 90 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 i was in your shoes a few months ago but decided not to go for a starter pcp and went for the hw100ks and love it too bits the starter idea didn't appeal too me as i would want to upgrade real quick so did heaps of homework tried shouldering a lot of guns and the hw100ks seemed to fit my frame spot on . everyone will have their own idea of the best rifle but the best one is the gun that fits your frame like a glove just my 2p Quote Link to post
