My missus has an Ultra and loves it, had an S200
The S200 is too long for its weight so more difficult to hold steady, lovely off a bench. At least the Ultra with heavy mod and scope can just make enough weight for stability shooting off hand
Looking for TO-6 Trigger unit unmessed with or T0-6 kit for 34

Ultra better than S200, and there was me thinking you were being serious...
How many threads do you see about ‘sent my ultra off for fettling’ vs ‘sent my S200 off’? And then there is the ‘got my ultra back and it is still not right, should I send it to xxxxx ?’
Same goes for the r10 and I loved my r10...

I had an early s200. It was extremely accurate barrel wise but the rest wasn’t ideal for Ft so I moved it on. Wish I’d kept it for the barrel.
All the bsa barrels I’ve shot have been sub par.

I own 2 mk3 S200’s in .177 and .22, both Huma regulated with 150ml Altaros aluminium cylinders, and quick fill foster connectors.
Maybe if CZ had made a model like that they might still be in production?
In my opinion the weak point of the S200 was the trigger, however after spending a few hours on mine they are now as good as I need them.
It is a pity CZ has quit production of the S200 because it’s still a very viable pcp,
and there’s no doubt that barrel is far better than others in it’s price class.

All bsa rifles I've encountered are, for the money, crap. Biggest example of stick the right badge on anything and it'll get a following.
Why is it that everyone that owns a bsa has to advertise it as "JB blueprinted" when the inevitable sales post comes around? We all know the answer.
No one has to blueprint their S200. I've owned two S200s and regret selling bot if I'm honest. I've owned a heap of bsas in the hope of finding that diamond in the rough. All moved on, no regrets.
I loved the look of the r10 Mk2 (or is itmk3?) SE in pepper laminate. My mate bought one.... He no longer has it.
I wish I could support the UK badge but based on personal experience... I can't.
Love my theoben rapids, love my air arms, love my two artemis and my old daystate. Love my HW80... I'm not fixed on one brand but BSA are just a marketing success. Product is not good.

when the S200 first came out, loads of folks (myself included) bought spare S200 barrels and grafted them onto all sorts of decent rifles, including Pro Targets, Rapids, etc (this was a good few years ago).
The CZ barrels are excellent. BSA barrels can be excellent, but are a bit hit and miss, so to speak, and generally require some attention.
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

This is a very sad thread.........I had one of the first Ultras and currently own a s200...... In fact last night I used it to clear 30+ pigeons the total for the year is in four figures with this little underestimated gun, its light agile accurate nothing goes bleep or ping or breaks it works with minimal tlc and if it is discontinued I am going to get another sharpish .

Theres loads of S200s on the FT and HFT circuit, I'm yet to see an Ultra......

Maybe CZ has decided not to make airguns any more . Maybe they want to concentrate on Powder burners 100%.

If you really want to compare like for like, the a single shot ultra in a beech stock can be had for £400.
Cheers,
Mark.

on another site someone put an email reply from AA saying the s200 is still part of their current S range for sale .
