Good choice with the Streamline. Excellent quality , very pointable, accurate and very quiet. Best wishes, Mark
Hi all, been a bit of a lurker, but not posted before.
I'm in the process of selling my FX impact as it's a bit of a pig and even if it can be gotten to shoot straight, I've got to the point where I'd just rather see the back of it.
So I'll be looking to replace it. While I'd love to buy a used gun, other than my s510 US, I've had nothing but bad luck with them unfortunately, so will also be considering new for some peace of mind (but will not rule out pre owned, but will be a lot more strict with who I buy from).
Ideally I'd like to keep the budget to around 800 if possible, and have a few ideas at present, such an FX streamline. I'm a member on another forum, and due to the brand loyalties etc which exist there, I know what those guys would suggest, and it's always the same things, not necessarily a bad thing. However, it would be good to see if any other suggestions come up from you guys, which I wouldn't get over there.
My requirements are:
Multishot PCP
Cylinder rather than bottle, but with a decent shot count (I use a pump, but prefer pumping more, but less frequently)
Light weight
Very quiet (for reference the impact with telescopic shroud was a bit loud for my garden)
Ideally be able to fit a picatinni rail without much fuss, although I am tempted by a javelin bipod
Can be rifle or bullpup, not too fussed
Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.
Thanks for having me here
Hugh

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 ...
Looking for TO-6 Trigger unit unmessed with or T0-6 kit for 34
Zbroia Hortista, cylinder, 2 magazines, a shroud that works, regulated, but a hernia to pump up, 300 bar working pressure....
Very nice....

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 .
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?
Compatto might suit.
Custom BSA S10 .22 PAX Phoenix Mk 2 .22 Custom Titan Manitou .22 (JB BP) HW77 .22 FWB Sport Mk1 .22 Sharp Ace .22 Crossman 600 .22 Berretta 92 .20 Desert Eagle .177
If you want a trouble free PCP dump your pump buy a bottle and only use clean dry air!!!!!
My RFD has got my old Impact GSX100 on the shelf for £700 (I think?)
It's in excellent condition and, fits your requirements.
All of the above.
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.
