The Springer Revoloution

[Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701]

its rated very highly by a few members on this site who know their stuff.

 

not sure about prices mate but there great guns apparently.

 

I had a shoot with one a few weeks back, it was dark but the gun seemed very quiet and nice to shoot

How do any of you guys rate the BSA ultra multi shot ??

 

Is £300 decent for a 2nd hand one ?? With one mag ?

It's a smart little piece of kit mate and depending on the condition 300 rags seems a fair price. I don't think you will be disappointed. And if you are, you will always fetch back what you paid for it.

Put your money into the newer version, a lot less trouble to load, and the mags rotate better

ANYONE can be as good a shot as Si, Davy or myself

Each to his own, but for me you can't beat a springer,a self contained rifle where all you need for a great day out is as many pellets as you can shoot and enough tea to be going on with.

 

I've had a few pcp's but I find springers a real pleasure to shoot.

sometimes I can put 3 or 4 shots all touching at 35 yards .. SOMETIMES haha and I have to be on very good form to do it,, then the 4th or 5th shot usually goes and inch in a different direction! haha but hey that's just springers for ya!

 

edit to add.. theres not a cat in hells chance of me doing it past 45 yards tho

I started out like most with springers, using a tuned HW35 for many years. I then moved onto a AA 310k, which although easy to shoot had been bodged by a previous owner. That went and I went back to the 35 for many years. About 3 years ago I took the plunge and bought a Hw100. What an accurate and user friendly piece of kit that was! However good it was, it left me feeling cold, and as the springer got nearly as much use and has always been my got to airgun, I sold it a few months back with a view to getting a top end springer to replace it.

 

Comparing the 2 types back to back is like comparing a sports car driven with and then without all the safety aids such as ABS and traction control. With, is ultimately faster out of the blocks. But without is far more enjoyable to drive and ultimately, with time you will develop the skill needed to match the sanitised version

 

Shooting is no different to most things in life, success is not a destination, but the quality of the journey

they both have a place! the pcp is more business and the springer more pleasure. if you have a serious number of pests to control that silent, multi shot, easy loading, is for sure a real help. but on the other hand if you just want a few for the pot and a nice time well the simple springer is a great tool! easy to maintain and tune to your own requirements, and in my mind makes you think a bit more about the hold and the shot you are taking. i reach for the pro every time but the 410 is still worth hanging on to.
