This .177 version\nis available in two power ranges: 6 ft-lb. or 12 ft-lb. It is purpose-built to introduce youth or small\nstatured folks to PCP shooting and does an admirable job. Based off of the BSA Ultra series of guns, and\neven utilizing some parts from the big brother, it has an overall length of 27\ninches. The barrel length is 11.8 inches\nof cold hammer forged steel made in-house at the Birmingham factory and comes with\n\u00bd UNF threaded muzzle with protective cap. \nThe scaled down sporter style Beech stock is made by Minelli and exudes\nclass. Nicely finished, it has laser cut\ncheckering on the pistol grip and fore-end. As a bonus, as your young shooter\ngrows, the Ultra JSR stock can be swapped into a full-sized Ultra model\nsynthetic stock. The metal is done in a matte\nfinish. The weight, without optics,\ncomes in at 5.7 pounds. Adding the MTC\nMamba Lite 4-16x42mm scope and a Trident suppressor brought the package up to\n7.1 pounds, a tad heavy for a child, but it balanced very well. Of course, in .177 the Ultra JSR is pretty\nbackyard friendly without a suppressor if the additional weight is a factor. Assuming it will be used to introduce junior\nshooters to PCPs, most likely that will be done from a shooting bench so weight\nwould not be as important as ease of loading and shooting, which the Ultra JSR\nexcels at. It is supplied with an easy\nto load spring loaded 10-round magazine. The bolt action is smooth and does not\nrequire a lot of force so kids will have no problems there. An adjustable 2-stage\ntrigger is smooth and crisp and broke at 1 pound, 4.6 ounces after a long first\nstage takeup. There is no anti-double feed capability so don\u2019t work the bolt\nmore than once with a loaded magazine. The\nsafety is a lever on the left side of the receiver, with a large \u201cS\u201d and \u201cF\u201d so\nit is easy for the shooter to quickly tell which mode the airgun is in. The rearmost position is safe and blocks the\ntrigger. It was a bit stiff at first and can\u2019t easily be manipulated without changing\nthe shooting grip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The under-barrel reservoir\nfills to a maximum of 232 bar, or 3365psi, and should give up to 40 shots per\nfill in the 12 ft-lb. version. More than twice that could be expected from the\n6 ft-lb. model, thanks to the proprietary \u201cStrikeFast\u201d valve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although a bit\nunwieldy for me to shoot as a 6-foot adult, I managed to put 5 Crosman 7.5\ngrain pointed pellets into a ragged 2-hole grouping at 20 yards. The pellets were travelling at an average of\n537fps. Imagine what a kid with good\ncoaching and this air rifle could do! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All-in-all a sweet little package that really delivers on everything you would expect for an air rifle designed to start youths in the world of PCP shooting.\u00a0 You can thank Robert Buchanan, owner of Airguns of Arizona<\/a> for bringing these quality air rifles to our shores through his company Precision Airgun Distribution; as BSA imports and support were lacking here in the colonies. \u00a0Although quality doesn\u2019t come cheap at an MSRP of $599.99 for the 6 ft-lb. model and $699.99 for the 12 ft-lb., you are getting the 150+ year BSA know-how along with all the modern steels, alloys and technology benefits backed by a 2-year, nontransferable warranty.\u00a0 If adding a suppressor is of interest, AofA can help there as well with the Trident and 0dB lines they carry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Great things come in small packages is an old adage that rings true for this little rifle.
