[@steveensom7238]

Much better titles Jeff ….great content

[@hftshooter]

Thanks! 🙂👍

[@nickwebb9290]

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

[@chrisfs150]

This is the 1st video of ours i watched and Hft isnt really my thing but i do like the clear concise manner of your review No fuss, no overreacting, no overcomplication.. Ill have to trawl through your back library and have a watch Keep up the good work!

[@hftshooter]

Thanks very much. Hope you find some more videos you like on my channel. 🙂👍

[@markhomer5704]

Excellent vid, a full appraisal will be something to look forward to, as will beginners guide, that'll be brilliant, will keep even seasoned shooters on the ball..

[@hftshooter]

Thanks for the feedback. 🙂👍

[@thecraftycarper5484]

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]

Snap. This one came from pellpax in the sale too and I thought exactly the same; may have been the same previous owner, lol. I paid a lot less!

[@iancosh874]

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

[@hftshooter]

Hi Ian, thanks for the feedback. Have a great Christmas. 🙂👍

[@johnnyhouston9913]

Yo bro, great video once again.. I was all excited with you opening the box.. 😂😂I think you won a watch with that rifle, its in pristine condition 👍👍 happy new gun day.. 👍👍 I like your new tune at the start of your video, nice one.. Have a great weekend.. 👍✌️👌

[@hftshooter]

Thanks mate, yes well happy with it. You have a good'un too! 🙂👍

[@paultowns9880]

Congratulations on your new gun. Great video. Has your tuned 97 settled in? Take care.

[@hftshooter]

Thanks. Yes getting to grips with the 97 just need a bit more practice to get back where I was. 🙂👍

[@davidmackee8575]

Definitely do a pellet test looking forward to seeing more on the BSA.

[@hftshooter]

Will do!

[@alanmullock381]

Nice early Chrissy prezzy Jeff,your smile said it all🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎

[@hftshooter]

Thanks 👍

[@Singh64able]

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 .

[@hftshooter]

Thanks for the feedback, some good ideas there to add to my list. 🙂👍

[@three-phase562]

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.

[@hftshooter]

I got the eaglevision adaptor. 🙂👍

[@Airgunfunrich]

Also the eagle vision converter sits flat along the dovetail an mag still fits

[@hftshooter]

Yes, I got the eaglevision converter. 👍

[@Airgunfunrich]

@ they do 2 one for BSA an standard. You probably know that though!

[@jameshathaway2636]

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

[@hftshooter]

Thanks James. I bought a 150mm one and it does leave clearance for the mag, but not a single shot loader. 👍

[@glenford4527]

Hi mate , the Whierach XL is a superb silencer a must check out , and the shorter XLK , good looking aswell in my opinion , cheers .

[@hftshooter]

Thanks for the tips! 👍

[@davidcook380]

Beautiful gun Jeff , I have the AAA on air limited edition in 177 and have had no issues at all and Love it. David , PS , Ratworks do a lovely shroud available in 2 sizes up to 30mm look like business .

[@hftshooter]

Thanks. I've taken a look at the shroud but happy with just a mod at the moment. 🙂👍

[@Airgunfunrich]

If your fund’s allow I’d highly recommend a huma shroud over a moderator. Have one on my ultra CLX in .177 and it works v well mate

[@hftshooter]

Thanks. Happy with just a mod for now. 🙂👍

[@grahamedwards9920]

Great little gun but what exactly is the weight - “light” is mentioned several times but not what it actually weighs unscoped. Nice review.

[@hftshooter]

Thanks. Mine weighs 2.7kg without the scope. 👍

[@grahamedwards9920]

Thanks for the reply.

[@rapalaron6348]

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]

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]

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 👍👍

[@davidbarclay2032]

I have one, love it, I am six foot two, it’s not too short for me. Shooting style is personal thing, Standing I use target style and have no problems.

[@AdamMcCool-01]

I wasn’t aware people actually still purchased BSA guns? Considering the alternatives in the same price bracket are far superior 🤷‍♂️

[@chrisfs150]

​@AdamMcCool-01 I think bsa can still hold their own against the competition... You just have to pick the right model, I wouldn't go so far as to say all bsa are rubbish however some models defintely are.. I don't think you can go badly wrong with an older british made version?

[@donpeer4477]

If you're going to use the gun for pesting, you should test the sound with a SPL meter set to dBC. Animals don't hear the way humans do.

[@hftshooter]

Thanks for the tip. 👍

[@migsy2728]

Good luck with the pellets jamming and leaks matey

[@hftshooter]

I shall remain optimistic mate! 🙂👍

[@stephengunrunnerhanson3550]

Barrel needs cleaning and the pellets are letting you down when scoped in and all of the the pellets go.in the same hole

[@hftshooter]

I hear you Stephen. It was just a quick first shoot. I will be setting the rifle up properly and will expect better results. 🙂👍

[@unzulaessig]

Is BSA on same level with Weihrauch?

[@hftshooter]

Well that's a very subjective question. I would say they probably are, but I'm sure there are plenty who would disagree. 🙂👍

[@IanBradley-ns1bg]

BSA aren't even on the same level as SMK.

[@Airgunfunrich]

As Tommy pointed out about the stock kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKW9fZiIo9CUnZosi=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 👍

[@hftshooter]

I got in touch with him straightaway too. His stud is now fitted. 🙂👍

[@gailforrester5769]

Try a twink 2 very quiet

[@hftshooter]

Cheers! 👍

[@Airgunfunrich]

I’d highly recommend one of Dave’s kits as well as the stock mount is a weak point on the rifle kzbin.info/www/bejne/jV65dK2dbKunosksi=CJKzHU6y9oA_9L-Y

[@hftshooter]

Agree! 🙂👍

[@RaoulDuke333]

Congratulations is it a boy or a girl ?

[@hftshooter]

😂 Isn't everything supposed to be 'gender fluid' these days?

[@RaoulDuke333]

Haha

[@markbarkntrunk102]

I have the Ultra elite and brought a bolt for the underneath as in the attached YT www.youtube.com/@dave20thmay

[@hftshooter]

I got one of those from Dave too. 🙂👍

[@alexmcdonald3493]

Nearly made me cry watching you toss up between moderators, here in Australia Mr plod won't allow them. Even pest controllers have trouble getting them

[@hftshooter]

Wow that's a shame.
