Hft Which Gun ?

[oakey 57]

Bit of back ground i did a lot of bell target back in the day and proud to say won the 10m air rifle at the cla game fair on 2 occasions . So i can shoot a bit . I fancy having a go at HFT i have got a .22 BSA ultra would the same gun in .177 be any good ?

Yes, perfectly good gun for HFT but shot count is a little low so if you don't get many stoppages where you have to shoot the round off into the ground you should be able to complete a 30 shot course. We have a club that meets every Sunday in Martley Worcester (Nomads) so feel free to come over any Sunday around 9.30.

People used to do well, with the ultra, at a club I used to attend.

I was looking at the HFT shooting at the Northern Shooting Show a few weeks ago and saw a variety of guns being used. One chap I had a brief word with on this very subject said the Scorpion was a better bet but if you already own an Ultra, perhaps fitting a longer air cylinder would give you the shot count you needed.

 

Airtech sell longer cylinders for not a lot of dosh. A reg fitted will also increase the shot count and maintain even pressure to the shots.

Why the hell are you selling that Jon, it is a little cracker. If I have some cash I would have it.

It is a very nice little rifle mate but, It's not going to get used.

..... I'd rather move it on than let it gather dust
