Praise for the ultra

[peddy]

Just got back from one of my farm permissions who was having trouble with jackdaws taking cattle feed in one of the sheds. Took my tactical single shot ultra Mmc in .177 using bisley mags that I bought new some years ago. Could only shoot safely over a wall so draped a scrim scarf over my head and the gun, the kill zone was between 20 and 45 yards. In an hour managed to bag 8 only missing one, considering the shed was full of cattle had to choose targets carefully, so they were pressure shots. The ultra performed faultlessly and couldn't expect more from rifles costing 3 times more. The farmer was very pleased and didn't know I was shooting it was that quiet. I then braved the weather to check on his livestock!

I'm looking for an Ultra as my next gun. Never had one, but fancied one for a while. I should of bought the one in Solware the other week

[Seamaster]

Good shooting mate.
They are great little guns, often overlooked because they're cheap I reckon.
I love my SE.

They are relatively cheap new, but they really seem to hold there value when selling. Some seem to sell for silly money.

Great guns and even better with a reg

[secretagentmole]

The SE is great, I hated the MMC version however, I had one for 2 weeks, it got sold back to the shop we bought it from however, I hated it! After a Super 10 the MMC was an abomination!

We have two, single shot 177

The bolt tactical version I first bought for 4x4 has put more rabbits in freezer over last two years than everything else put together.
Two problems, it's not got an ambi stock (two cheek pieces but pistol grip has obvious right hand bias), it's so light I can't shoot it off hand -

I bought another, an older MMC, properly AMBI (partner is a southpaw)
The MMC is heavier, even though Walnut (this one is).

JB has re baffled two steel PH mods with HEAVY brass baffles, calibre specific. This has improved handling, and made quieter.

The MMC has a heavy Hawke scope on, and shoots HW brand heavies best (I've found these better than bis mags, or barracuda in BSA 177 barrels that only shoot 'heavy') It can be shot off hand. My impression is that the MMC early rifles were built like tanks.

The newer one, likes JSB heavies, great my favourite heavy pellet. Being BSA's in 177, finding THE pellet is essential really.

If I had to choose one, I'd sell the newer one, but maybe re barrel the MMC to a JSB heavy friendly barrel.

I hope this helps. I'd recommend a JB Blueprint over any reg, especially as this affords the correct setting for pellets for that rifle by user to stay legal, rather than end up with a reg set for maybe not the most efficient pellet, and that's the way it'll stay.

The Ultra is a fantastic rifle, and as JB designed it, not a high capacity target rifle, but a compact, lightweight hide / 4x4/ barn/ rooftop type rifle.
I like the very early ones with much heavier stock, but BSA got their measurements a bit out on those, as technically illegal, so the second gen ones most folk 'think of' as Ultra's are actually a tad longer

I love the Ultra, I think they're great little rifles...
My only air rifle at the moment is an Ultra .177, a very accurate rifle which shoots the heavy JSB pellet at 11.25fpe. It's not regulated, but I have put a longer cylinder on it (175mm off, 256mm on), I'm now getting 56 good shots out of it.
I also had an MMC .22 version until a few months ago, but as I'm working on getting my FAC I let it go (a 1943 Lee Enfield is my current priority - got one reserved!). I liked the MMC rifle to be honest, but couldnt justify keeping too many air weapons when there are firearms on the horizon.

[lensman57]

BSA guns are underrated and get bad publicity from time to time. I find my R10 .22 quite lovely and accurate to shoot.

[Lightning1981]

I like my ultra se it's definitely a keeper along with my r10.

[phil384]

Mine's the unregulated, single shot, non MMC, non SE basic as a basic thing .177 which I bought a couple of years ago at BAR.

But boy is it accurate

Great with JSB Exacts and Bisley Magnums.

I've been thinking about getting it regulated with a Huma or XTAir. Maybe next payday......

Thoroughly recommend them.

[villaman]

Nothing wrong with the MMC cocking , wish i never sold my MMC , you could cock it with out taking your hand of the gun

I've had 2 Airwolfs a Wildcat 2 Ultra SE a HW100 KT an a AA 410 Superlite,the only ones I've got now is HW100 KT and 2 Ultra SE and they are the only ones I will have, the Ultras are superb rifles shooting as good as rifles 3 times as much.
