Hello To Every One From Aberdeenshire Scotland Im Not Long Back Into Using Air Rifles

[walker smith 12]

Hi I'm new to this so forgive me if I'm posting this in the wrong place. I've bought another pcp a bsa ultra se 177. I see you can get them regulated to up the shot count.and again forgive me if this has been asked before.can you get one of the a&am cylinders to up the shot count then get it regulated to up the shot count again

 

Thanks walker

First off welcome to the MAD HOUSE

 

i dont no about the a&m Cylinders but the scorpion cylinder fits them and will up shot count a lot more and even better if you get it reg,d .

 

the ultra is a cracking bit of kit but it all comes down to what you want it for hunting or plinking .

 

the shot count is ok if your hunting as you will not need all of them any way unless you have a perm that is over run with vermin lol.

 

But if its for plinking it can be a bit of a pain having to fill it all of the time .

 

Iv limited my grandson to 2 fills at the range with his ultra because of this, he then changes to one of his other rifles more his springers and his ultra is put away for when i take him hunting

 

here is his ultra in 22

Welcome mate

[The one 8,495]

We go up as far of your neck of the woods for a bit of ferreting some nice country up there

[walker smith 12]

Hi thanks guys the perm I've got for a start is good for the Ferals as there are a few good sized barns and for the last few months I've just been shooting targets, most of the time getting the feel for the gun an shooting off the car bonnet. Using two sandbags but I'm recently fitted a Harris bipod and as such I've not had the chance to try it out due to our lovely Scottish weather. Most of my shooting will be done off the bipod, And reading posts on here I think ille stick with the ultra se. As I was thinking of getting a hw100 as well. But looking at some of the previous posts their as accurate as one another, or some are for one and some for the other but mind you (trying a we Scottish joke with this weather most of us would preffer a bit of the other )

Hi mate and welcome!

 

There's nothing wrong with the Ultra SE you have as far as accurate hunting and target work goes. You are starting out the right way by getting back into shooting with proper practice, getting to know your rifle and its limits; and yours; and I salute you for that.

 

In time, you'll come to know whether or not your rifle needs an upgrade on its reg or, are you shooting perfectly successfully and happily as it is now. If you feel that your rifle would benefit from an A&M upgrade, at least you will be a better position than anyone to know how that will turn out for you.

 

Looking forward to reading you posts about your shooting with your BSA.

ATB

Welcome mate, I come up aberdeen sometimes with work. There is a an airgun club up there but it was shut when I was last up.

[secretagentmole 1,701]

I do believe that the Scorpion SE air cylinders fit the Ultra action, so get one of those regulated and really up the count!

Hi and welcome , have a look on XTX AIR and speak to Darrin http://xtxair.com/bsa-scorpion-se--ultra-se.php

 

IMO Darrin is the best person on BSA guns , I had my ultra regged by Darrin about 4 years ago and never its never let me down

[walker smith 12]

Hi villaman and secret agent mole thanks that's a good bit of info I do fancy getting the ultra se regged. And I notice your saying the scorpion cylinder fit s it to up the shot count again. But what about the light weight cylinders from is it a & m gunsmiths would one of them be lighter and also give me more shot count any info much appreciated

[walker smith 12]

Thanks for the welcome as well guys

[villaman 9,983]

Don't think a&m do one for the ultra , I still say you are better of having it regged , no power curve no sweet spot and each shot will be with in 6 fps or less with the right pellet

[walker smith 12]

I'm defo getting it regged I alse emailed Mandy at a&m but they hadn't a ultra se there to give me a quote on price etc. but looking at price of the reg and tunning then the price of a scorpion cylinder am I better going for an hw100 as well. As I'm happy with the way the ultra se shoots it's just the shot count Ide like increased.And as the hw is considerably heavier.so guys what's the verdict spend roughly £400 or more doing the se up or spending the extra on a hw100 o the joys of an air gunner this is probably going the way of many other topics some of you saying go for the ultra tart up or go for the hw100 with more shots. Right what's your thoughts on an ultra se with reg an tune up against a hw100 straight out the box what's the better gun then guys

[bigmac 97kt 13,806]

Iv say,d it many times the ultra even out of the box will match any hw100 any day .

 

BUT AS MUCH AS IT PAINS ME TO SAY IT the hw100 is a better rifle and this PAINS ME MORE even the hw100kt

 

Yes its a tage on the heavier side but you will get used to it

 

Hw100 more shot count

 

A loading mechanism next to none ,the best out there bar none

 

and as accurate as they come bar none

 

plus the a&m cylinder will fit this

 

bsa ultra

 

cracking rifles and up there with the best

 

low shot count

 

and dose need to be reg,d to increase shot count

 

ok out in the field but not when plinking at the range

 

and good out of the box

 

If your willing to push the extra £££££s then get the hw100 all day long

 

but handle a few first and see witch model suits you as the full length hw100 gives you even better shot count and you may not need the a&m cylinder
