    I can't fault my own ultra , it's spot on for what it is. Polishing and lubing the cocking linkage and holding back the trigger whilst cocking make for a silent smooth operation.
    It's a quiet at the sharp end aswell.

    New one on me unless you are calling me a runaway slave using the verb, as this is the only one that has any context.
    Anyway I am not going to argue with you anymore on the forum or on the video comments, you have made your point as anyone is entitled to do.

    My ultra Mmc tactical single shot .177, has been my main hunting tool for the last 5 years, never let me down ,mega accurate with bisley mags. Find I can cock and load with minimal movement, very quiet to cock if you take the probe release pressure with your thumb..essential when hiding in a barn. It accounted for over 100 jackdaws last year alone at ranges upto 45 yards. I've hunted with airguns since I was 11 and own 17 rifles now, the ultra has been my best hunting gun by far.

    maroon

    a firework that makes a loud bang, used as a signal or warning.


    Something that makes a loud noise!

    I do know the English language, a little better than you it seems!

    Did you have the volume turned up high Moley? It was quite a low key review on my 'phone.
    I didn't agree with everything Catatonia said, especially about the trigger being sublime, but he's having a go and doing a reasonable job.
    For the more inexperienced airgunners, I think it's a useful and informative review.
    The point about the release system breaking is only relevent if you're daft enough to let it fly back under it's own steam. Anyone who ever owned one learned within 10 minutes that the probe needed to be cushioned.
    Your point about it being loud is irrelevent too. It's a short barrelled carbine so needs a silencer and, with one, it's as quiet as any other carbine.
    Keep up the good work please Catatonia. You're helping more people than you think.
    Go easy on the 'Just For Men' though mate :-)

    'but what maroon would pay £450....'

    Nice well presented online review Steve.

    We don't get enough airgun reviews on the BBS.

    I regret selling my .177 ULTRA SE - it was a super little rifle, very accurate and easy to carry and aim - although mine was only the single shot version, I did enjoy shooting with it.

    Keep up the good work - I will be watching your review of the ULRA SE next.
