I had one in .177 and it was laser accurate. Had a pretty good shot count too for an unregulated gun. The only reason I got rid of it was it was too long and to make it quieter it had to be WAY too long. A 1200 SE in .22 would make a great bench gun for longer ranges IMO.

I've wondered why BSA never offered the 1200 SE in .25. The power is there that's for sure.

Adjustable power would be nice the 12 flbs U.K. Version gets a lot of shots per fill would be nice to turn the power down for plinking, by no means a deal breaker for me love this gun

Turning down the power is easy. Look on youtube for detuning a BSA Ultra, it's exactly the same and takes about 10 minutes. With a new spring and hammer from airgunspares.com, you could take it down to 12fpe. As it is, you should be able to drop it to around 20fpe, get more shots and still have a very capable hunting gun for squirrels and birds.

Thanks mate great advice, 20fpe would be fine for squirrels ect , back in the U.K. I wa s hunting them with 12 fpe (ish )

Nick from Air Superiority built a 25 cal for Southern Gunner. Kenny (Southern Gunner) said it's one of his most accurate guns.
