    Sub 12ftlbs lightweight hunting air rifle

    Hi all, im looking for new hunting pcp , must be lightweight, good shot count ,powerful, multi shot.
    My short short list pushers me towards bsa ultra se , but not sure shot count is very good, I like bottles but still need light. Max budget £1000.
    Thinking about.
    Bsa ultra se buy now budget.or save for
    Bsa r10
    Fx maverick

    You could have a look at the BSA Scorpion se. Very similar to the Ultra but a bit higher shot count. For hunting how many shots would you take in a session? the Ultra probably has enough for the average trip.

    Brocock commander/sniper. They’re literally just over a grand new, so maybe even a used one. I don’t have one, but people seem to like them, carbon bottle etc.

    Forget an Ultra if you want a decent shot count, mine done about 30 ish.

    Look at something like a Regal HR/S410/HW100k and an R10 if it's had it's reg sorted

    Kral NP02 is good for the money, multi shot and light weight. 200 shots per fill

    if its a grand then the fx maverick will be over budget. A fx dreamline lite compact or standard. The compact will give you a good shotcount certainly above the bsa ultra 18 shot mag adjustable power and regulated. under a grand.

    I get fourty five shots per charge from my 177 ultra se, which is fine for most outings, when I need more shots I use my np02, not quite as lightweight but as has been said earlier plenty of shots per charge for busy sessions

    That's a lot of shots for a Ultra in .177 Chris, is it standard or you fitted a reg ? All the ones I've had seem to get about 30 - 35 in .177.

    Bought a scorpion se amongst other guns for a pest control company, was very impressed with it. Not much heavier than an ultra. You will have plenty left over for a scope and bits.

    i used to get about 45 out of my .177 running at about 11.4ftlb. Most of the ones i have put over a chrono run about 40-45 shots.

    Totally standard mate, doing about 10.5 ft/lbs I think bsa quote fourty shots in 177 and fifty in 22. I assumed I was getting a few more because it's slightly underpowered.
