BRY 79 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Hi I have had a rapid 7 now for 19+ . Great rifle but with getting older and back problems I need a lighter smaller carbine type rifle. ( Mainly for rats and feral pigeons ) 1 Bsa Ultra SE synthetic multi shot 22 ? 2 Brocock Contour super 6 multi shot 22 ? Any other candidates to add to the above ? Not selling the rapid, other thing I know is the above are low on shot count per fill. And Brocock has no Safety . Looking for advice from people who have these rifles or have used them . Any info much App Cheers Bry Quote Link to post

mattwhite 1,993 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 As random said but just to chuck another into the mix you wouldnt do any harm trying the air arms s410 tdr. My pal has one and its nice and light. Quote Link to post
villaman 9,982 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I will be the 4th man to say BSA ultra ,great all round gun and very accurate Quote Link to post

BRY 79 Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Thanks for ALL the feedback :-) As its for rat nite shooting and Feral pigeons I have to watch out for over penetration into the cladding of the building. Its gonna be a 22 and I might go for the Ultra synthetic stock version as its a working rifle. Shame no one does a try before you buy to see which rifle suits the best. Which pellet is most suitable in the Ultra 22 ? I always use accupel in my rapid. Cheers BRY Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Same in the BSA (I had one) or you could use the manufacturer's own label version - Crosman Premier Ultra Magnum. But why not have a word with a few rapid experts to see ways of lightening the beast? They are not that heavy, could be a new stock might alter the feel, might want to try one in a CS500....

BRY 79 Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I was thinking along the same lines Mr Mole , but once you scope it up then put an add on NV and sling it adds up the weight . Don't get me wrong I have had this rapid a long time. Just thinking with my back problems getting worse, adding a new lighter modern rifle can ease up my back problems the next day. What is a CS500 ?
