Why are so many BSA Ultras for sale
I have a BSA Ultra .22 and it is fantastic but my question is:
Why does everybody seem to be selling them?
I must see what seems like half a dozen for sale every week!
They seem to be held in very high regards but why is everybody selling them, is the novelty wearing off??

New gun people rush to buy.
Not so new people sell - lots of bargains to be had

I don't know, but I am not complaining. Picked mine up for under 200 notes locally, only fired 30 pellets
volume bought because of their very good price - so people selling off to raise some cash for xmas.
bought as a starter rifle and people upgrading to something bigger / regged for target shooting
novelty wearing off (although i love mine!!)
good springer wanted as alternative to a 2nd pcp?
many reasons why, there are a lot of superten for sale at the moment too (mine included)
Like a lot of the BSA PCPs very very good value, the Scorpion is

Sometime however I just prefer to use the Ultra, its nice and light and loves the same pellets.
What I like about the ultra is the ease of use without having to fiddle with slidy mags and small bolts like on my raider. The front cocking is ideal as I can load without taking my right hand off the stock, helps maintain consistancy.
Cheap, and somewhat an acquired taste. People buy it as a budget rifle due to it being one of the cheapest PCP's on the market.
Pity really, nice rifles no matter the cost.
Look at Daystates, £1200 new, and there's one up for grabs almost every day MK3/Airwolf.
Again, acquired taste for many due to the trigger.
Maybe its just because there are so many of them, bit like most car ads are for Fords.
I got mine second hand and very grateful for it I am too. Fantastic bit of kit.
Yup I agree, very good value, I think that the limit shot count is what puts plinkers off. I find it just right for pumping up!
They may have a limited shot count, especially in .177, but I wouldn't dream of selling mine.

How many shot do you get in .177? I find I get about 40 in .22
I quite fancy an Ultra but what is the power curve like and how many shots for 177? I like the idea of the smaller reservoir because I can't be bothered with a tank so it'd could be perfect.
Has anyone used this with a stirrup and if so how long to fill?

A fellow called, John Bowkett can work on them, and greatly improve consistency, plus up the shot count.
Very easy with a pump.
Pump takes about 5 mins from empty. I get 40 shots in .22 and here is my (rather dodgy) power curve.
In reality it only means less than 1/4" change in impact at 10 yards.

I am going to test it again, when it has run in a bit.
Cheers,
