    Thank you
    It is going well so far.
    I am using a 15.2" .25 Scorpion barrel on the Ultra. With a 250mm cylinder. 10 more or less consistent shots at 20 fpe. Excellent accuracy, I tested up to 60 yards.
    With the 24" barrel, I assume the power and shot count will be higher. There are 325mm and 425mm cylinders on their way. And a huma reg. That goes up to 155 bars, we'll see.
    But I do like .25.
    Best regards, Louis

    With 24" barrel and 425mm cylinder you could easily reach 60 fpe for around 10 shots if you want. That would be an excellent setup for 100M shooting with JSB Kings or King Heavies

    Thank you Riku. I see in your signature that you are experienced with powerful BSA's, nice.
    60 fpe would be nice. I think I'll sell my Bobcat then.
    I've just bought a Techstar and Lonestar as well. I feel a bit lucky. And like a bragger. Sorry. It is not intentional. But I have been looking for a long time and then someone has a whole collection of them and is prepared to sell 2... Great
    I need to sell the Bobcat btw, I can hear my bank account crying.

    Just use old style larger diameter firing valve and open up the airpath and you are there. I was able to reach 60 fpe with only 18.5" barrel in my .25, that 24" barrel can do about 50 fps more leaving room for improved shot count.
