amazed you haven’t had any R12’s back due to reg problems, I work in a large dealership up north and we have sense back at least 15 for reg problems and leaks.. In fact we will only order them in now rather than stock them and that’s only after informing the customer of out opinion.. the Ultra is a great (probably BSA’s best model) but its simplicity was the key here.. I wish they would just give us the laminate cheek piece they chipped out of the stick in the first place rather than the plastic version..
We had a few leak issues in the early days, usually the gauge required tightening and that was it. We recently had one that had to go back to BSA as it was very slow filling, I guess an o ring had been squeezed a bit too much during assembly. The biggest problem with the R12 was the early magazine but this has been addressed now and all faulty magazines were replaced by BSA.
@CG_Farming can get a 410 or a hw100 for that price as a package and with the new gray laminate hw100 can't see this getting much traction personally especially with all the bad publicity bsa have had over the past few years....wonder if we'll see any reviews with pellet james etc
@@ryangardener242you can get an R12 CLX pro with hard case,better scope for less than the ultra and shoots better,the ultra has only one thing better…..the stock, so yeh the ultra is over priced considering you can buy a BSA rifle for less that’s actually better
Thank you gentlemen for your video. I think this BSA air rifle, looks absolutely fantastic, especially the laminated stock. To me, everything about it looks beautiful. Your accuracy test couldn't have been better. I just find it aggravating to then read some the comments and find out opinion and whats really happening and seeming like sourcing the perfect air rifle thats works and functions as it should without problems is like walking on egg shells. I have the R12 CLX PRO and love it. I've practised at 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 yards. I know exactly where to aim at those distances. It's a fantastic gun and if I miss, it's something I've done. My R10 wasn't consistant and I didnt shoot it as much, thinking I was the problem. I just by chance took it to my local gun shop and they cronograghed it. The legal limit unit was shooting at 13ftlb. I hadn't in any way tampered with it. I'd think that ludicrous if you weren't a technician or super handy and knowledgeable. Less than a week later, my much loved R10 was back, shooting well. I have had a bit of a pellet, magazine jam, though sorted it myself. With great respect, someone not as practical may have returned the unit, labelling it as a fail. I was pleased to rectify the jam myself with just a little commonsense and gentleness. For me, BSA make some gorgeous air rifles at a price point exactly for the working man. I love to see them do well given their history and what they've done for us. I just find it a little deflating watching your video and then reading the comments. I go from wanting to own what youve reviewed, to being very, very careful how I tread. There's nothing worse than being so so enthusiastic about a what seems a beautiful new purchase, performing perfectly, only to find a whole host of problems. I hope this air rifle does as well as it looks, I think it looks fantastic. I'm sorry to rabble, I just wanted politely to make my point and write the truth. Ps. I adore my BSA air rifles. I could place them on my knee all night and just love them. Their walnut stocks, body lines, action excellence, I just think, are fantastic. Like many, I work hard and sacrifice. So when I have some spare time and fine weather and use something thats cost a lot of money, I'd like it to perform properly. When they do, there's nothing better. When they don't, it's very disappointing and a time impact we just don't have.
Great review guys 👍it made my mind up to purchase one . received mine today from my local gun shop its a fanatic gun very accrete 177 and the ultra compact scope with the adjustable mounts compliments the gun too.
Nice rifle, would have been better if it had the optional shroud like the R12, missed a trick there I think, nevertheless it'll sell out, just like AAR's **special **
Try test shooting your BSA rifles 👍. by shooting up at a angle as if you were hunting birds or squirrels keep the rifle on a rest kept at a angle and cycle and shoot the magazine 🤔 put at least 3 magazines through it and see if it jams 👍. Safely off course 👍
Another fantastic video,very enjoyable, I was looking up this rifle as we have one locally at my Gun shop….However I DO agree it looks FANTASTIC…But…. Your paying a lot for the looks when you consider as of January 2024 this gun cost more than the R12 CLX Pro also as a kit( Hard Case and better scope )….having fired both guns the R12 CLX Pro shoots double the shots and bizarrely actually more accurate than the ultra(yes this could be down to the set up but even then the ultra doesn’t feel as good but again this is subjective to the user….If I was going to put this ultra in a bag I’d say it shoots more like an R10 just upgraded…..love the gun,love the style and stock and would have bought it,IF it hadn’t been in the same price bracket as the R12 CLX PRO..
I have been bequeathed one ... its crap so its off to ratworks for a tune as it owes me nothing , its grouping at 30 yards was 3 inches , went to my Daystate and got 20mm group.

£1400 for an Ultra is a big ask no matter how limited it is but there are people that will pay that for it.
I’ve seen it for £1200 but yeah I get what you mean… it is nice tho 😂
Don't forget the scope , hardcase etc will add up , it's not just the air rifle your paying for 👍

Didn’t you guys have to recall any R12’s due to reg issues?? My gun got recalled . And what about leaks? My first R12 leaked like a sieve .
Nice rifle, would have been better if it had the optional shroud like the R12, missed a trick there I think, nevertheless it'll sell out, just like AAR's **special **

I have had an r12 from week after release I have had no problems and along with my crown is the most accurate gun I own
same as my r12 one of the best guns in my collection
The cheek piece totally ruins the lines of the stock.
Price and shot count would have been more useful
I think it looks top draw well done BSA
Seriously no regulator issue!🥴. Both mine and my friend’s R10 had. You need to be honest
This is a completely different regulator to the R10, have a watch of our R12 video and that will explain.
Is the silencer thread 1/2" UNF?
You usually say if it is.
Any chance of a review of the kral empire xs please bsa are starting to lag behind the other companies cheers

Both ? 😂😂😂😂
Shot count in .177 is around 60 shots and in .22 is around 72, there is no current plan to make a .25 I believe.
@@rangecountryairguns5883
60 shots in .177 calibre
70 shots in .22 calibre
£1400 RRP but if you check around you can find it for £1200
Nice rifle, ugly wood.
