Good choice with the Streamline. Excellent quality , very pointable, accurate and very quiet. Best wishes, Mark

Thanks Mark. It does indeed look a belter, although a bit if a bargepole with a moderator attached (although as said, I like shooting off bipod, so length isn't an immediate concern, not until I get a dense woodland permission at least). Just wondering if there is anything I've overlooked beyond the suggestions I normally see (hw100/110, s410/510, r10 etc). I'm also reading up on the offerings from Zbroia as while there seem to be few owners, the little feedback around suggests they're going from strength to strength and putting out some great stuff at the price point.

I'd buy a s/h BSA and have it blueprinted and moderated to your spec if a standard silencer not enough

If you've not shot a JB BSA, you are missing out ...

Zbroia Hortista, cylinder, 2 magazines, a shroud that works, regulated, but a hernia to pump up, 300 bar working pressure....



Very nice....

Forgot to add, has a picatinny scope rail as standard...

My RFD has got my old Impact GSX100 on the shelf for £700 (I think?)

It's​ in excellent condition and, fits your requirements.

Thanks for the reply, but I've a blueprint ultra se already. I have to admit I am anything but impressed. Harder to cock than my springers, the hammer is almost as loud as my springers when dry fired without air in the res, and the shroud he installed makes it as loud as my springers. I know he does fantastic work, but the tuned gun I bought second hand is definitely not one of them (although it could certainly be that the guy I bought it from meddled with it once the AT was removed). No more BSA for me (although I love my BSA supersporter even if it kicks like a mule).

As you want a large shot count a twin cylinder rifle like the AA tc or Sumatra could fit the bill .

A long cylinder Hortista in .177 has over 200 shots, should be enough.....

Ah a fellow AGF member. Its hardly fair to describe the performance of a heavily messed about with pile of junk bought at night in a service station car park from someone you dont know with an unmolested Blueprint Tuned reflex silencer/shrouded Ultra. Chalk and cheese. Did you ever bother to contact JB to find out if it was his work and how much it would cost to get sorted as was suggested in your thread about it on AGF?

[gingernut]

Compatto might suit.

Nope. Absorbed the cost a good while back, so i've happily consigned that gun to gathering rust in the corner. Bought my s510 about a week after the ultra and never touched the ultra again due to the comparative inferiority in build quality.

Will take a look at the hirtista, else it looks like it might be the streamline.

Kalibrgun Cricket. I have one in .22 and it's the most accurate & consistent pcp I have ever owned. Loading is a bit of a faff with the sidelever at the back, but this is my only criticism.

If you want a trouble free PCP dump your pump buy a bottle and only use clean dry air!!!!!

As above to be used on an Air Arms Ultimate Sporter.

Have you spoken to JB about it ? I would suggest a call, leave a message if he doesn't pick up and he will call you back

I've had several several rifles that JB worked on and no issues with them
