    Bought my BSA .22 Ultra CLX two years ago, it’s been fabulous 👍 I fitted a Weihrauch moderator (might be a bit shorter than yours) and it’s very quiet.
    Air Arms Diabolo Fields suit mine nicely

    Excellent video. I purchased a BSAR10SE in 177cal. It's the FAC right hand walnut version. It's beautiful, accurate and stone reliable. I love the classic looks and feel. It's my favorite rifle and I own a few.

    Greetings from the US and thanks for showcasing that BSA. I’ve only ever seen the old vintage beauties from the USOG channel. That fellow must be rolling in money judging from his collection.
    Thanks again and I am just passing by on my journey through the airgun world.

    Thanks Jeff, I enjoyed the video. Yes, perhaps a complete begining to end guide - selecting, ordering, unboxing, cleaning, setting up, scoping, adjusting, finding the pelet type video. It may need a 2 part video. Your range of experience could useful as a sort of beginners guide of how to get started and settled down with a gun. Fly Navy

    Great video. BSA apparently use Goldstar to test these. I bought my BSA .22 Ultra CLX about 4 months ago and found them to be spot on. H&N s are good in mine as well. Top rifle I love the trigger over all of the other rifles I own (including those from the turks). Go for a pellet test I'd expect much improvements once you find the right one.

    Looks to be a cracking find that one. Either looked after very well or not been shot a lot. Eaglevision to a specific adapter from 13mm dovetail to picatinny, or you can get small adapters that fit inside each scope mount from Amazon. I have both an R10 and a CLX, never had any issues with either of them.

    I just bought a BSA R12 CLX TDR from pellpax in the black friday sale. paid £545
    Bargain, i could not refuse. Rifle turned up and tbh that was like a new rifle in the case. who ever had it must of only used it a few times.

    • @hftshooter

    Jeff, great vlog, mate .
    You're a lucky man getting that rifle at that price early Christmas present 🎉
    Yes, i think you should do a vlog on getting started with a new rifle. All the ins and outs also, no one really touches on the subject of storing your rifle at home what the Law states and what you allowed to do .
    Looking at the Gov website, it gets quite confusing .
    What is a safe method of storage out of harms way, etc.
    Have a great Christmas, and enjoy the new rifle .

    Each to his own. I have a stubby silencer on my Ultra clx. The balance is perfect when hunting. Bring it up to your shoulder and it doesn't waver around like longer barreled rifles. At least that's what I've found. Nothing wrong with air arms BTW. I just think the ultra clx is overlooked.

    Can recommend Eaglevision dovetail to piccatinny adaptors.Use them on the wife's S510 US. You can't bridge over the magazine so have used 2 separate adaptors and lined them up so that the slots line up as one rail

    Won't believe it but as you were opening and checking the rifle you were mentioning see how it shot and may clean barrel and so on I thought it be good if you had done a video about get a new gun and going through the practice of checking it etc..before general shooting .
    Low and behold near the end say you may do a video on it , if we won't it.
    Yes fantastic idea as xmas is here and people may have brought or been brought a gun to go through the process.

    As Tommy pointed out about the stock ua-cam.com/video/rtZLeRnkag8/v-deo.htmlsi=YM_STev8ZYOjIe9W, that’s why I recommend Dave’s kit first thing I bought when I got mine rather than packing it out with something. Great video, enjoy the rifle 👍

      BSA Not even close to the Build quality or accuracy of Weihrauch hence the price difference . Hw are superior to BSA in every department and I can speak from experience having owned two R10se rifles and HW 100 .Daystate, Brocock, Air arms all better than BSA in my opinion. Check out the reviews on BSA from the no nonsense channel sub 12 air guns.

      @fwdesecretary1500 16 днів тому

      ⁠@@shaunjones6049 I sold my S410 a couple of years ago. Accuracy is, or rather, should be, the number one priority over price or build quality for anyone who shoots live quarry. AA S410 is a brilliant, accurate rifle, but so is the Reximex Lyra K. For hunting, and purely on price, I would buy a “new” Lyra rather than a “new” Weihrauch every time. However, I bought 2nd hand, heavily used S410 for a little more than a friend paid for his K. Yes the build quality is better on the 410 but the K is every bit as accurate. All this stuff is of course purely subjective and a matter of opinion😊. Other manufacturers guns are also available!

    • @hftshooter
      @hftshooter  20 днів тому

      I don't take much notice of negative reviewers. They always shout loudest whilst you rarely hear from the people happy with their purchase. It's also difficult to determine their expertise and negative experiences are often of their own making. If a company makes products that are that bad they will quickly go out of business, it's simple economics. Look around and take too much notice of negative reviews and you probably wouldn't buy from any number of air rifle manufacturers! I prefer to check things out for myself. If my BSA turns out to be a lemon I will provide full evidence in my forthcoming review.

  • @rapalaron6348
    @rapalaron6348 Місяць тому +9

    I don't want to be unkind but the S410 is a way better rifle for hunting. The CLX stock has a to short front end for comfortable off hand shooting and could easy be 4 inches longer. Cheers!

    • @hftshooter
      @hftshooter  Місяць тому +8

      Thanks for commenting. Well, I guess I'll have to see. Gun fit is a personal thing and I'm quite short so the length of pull feels okay to me. Yes, the S400 is a good hunting rifle, but mines .177 and I wanted a .22 rifle. The Ultra has a very good reputation and I wanted to try a BSA so I guess time will tell. All will be revealed in my future review I guess. 🙂👍

      @steve4697 Місяць тому +3

      Hope it works out well, I know a couple of people who swear by their R10's (although they have had to do some tweaks)not being regulated is probably a bonus tbf..and if it's a good BSA barrel you'll have a great little gun..interesting video. 22 is my preferred calibre and my pcp is .177 so I'm in the market for a replacement 👍👍

I brought one 20 years ago, nothing has changed. We are bored, wit the same thing all the time. I brought an FX DRS because it is something new.
