    Whats mine

    I recently bought a bsa ultra from offa here, sitting in a tactical stock (less to worry about) I don’t care about it tbh, I think it would make an excellent all weather hunting rig with pulsar digex sitting ontop, I’ve not used it apart from a few mags into paper…. I have thought about having it tuned, to shoot smoother and quieter but then I think I’d care more about it!

    I need to maybe break away from the steyr which I love very much, too much to scratch it out in the field, that said it is my most successful hunting rig, it’s a sublime piece of equipment, always slick and reliable!

    What’s yours ?
    Get the Ultra sorted. Mine has an extended air tube with fitted reg and a carbon fibre barrel sleeve forming a moderator at the muzzle. Is it quiet, of course it is, is it accurate, yes and more accurate than me. Does it run out of air, only after about 110 shots. They don't need tuning, just a fine set up of the trigger makes them smooth and accurate.

    It was my ..177 Rapid, but....
    For the last 4yrs, it has been a Hatsan AT44 10 in .22..
    Raggedy looking thing, cammo taped up.
    Pard 008 on an Eaglevision mount, Boblov rangefinder
    and an A&M mod...as accurate as any of my old .22 Rapids , but it is one with the factory fitted Walther barrel.
    Dedicated night gun, dont seem to shoot in the light much these days.
    It has been a very successful outfit
    Out with it tonight again on the rats and the first time out with the thermal Hikvision.

    Was only for a few months about 15 years ago at the ex-wife's family farm - HW90K .22 with a Dampa mount and a Bushnell 5-15. Was extremely efficient.

    I've taken a few dozen grey squirrels with my TX200 and Bushnell 4200 Elite 8-32×40. It also doubles as my FT gin.

    I was going to answer the question in the title. Then I read the original post and realised 'shotgun' wouldn't be right.
