Wow!!! I just drooled all over the front of my shirt! Been wanting the Ultimate sporter for the last 3 or more years but I have had a lot more desire than I have had money. And with this latest edition having more power and a regulator I'm I might even wet myself if I was so lucky as to win this package! I'm sure everyone here is ready for a shot at this stuff! A big "Thanks!" to all the companies providing these goodies!

Today was a good day of discovery... once the rain moved through. Below is much of what I learned.



This new version is regulated and after about 100 shots it settled in very nicely.

Run it down to just 145 bar and oh my. Lop off that 871 fps bump as it fell off the reg and ES would have been 10 ish.

Power seems to have settled at 42-43 fpe at the muzzle and arrives 25 yards away holding 35.

The 5-way power adjuster came in handy for dialing back the lead-frees... dropping velocity from 990 to 930 helped.

The LW barrel in this one felt lapped... almost glass-like inside when pulling patches through. It wasn't fussy either and surprised me with some of what it liked.

Air Arms told me they designed the barrel around the AA 25.4gr and it didn't disappoint.

Left yes/right no.

This works remarkably well and I was not able to twist it off to try another.

This still slows me down but it's nice & safe.

This is amazingly perfect right out of the box.
