I've had an .177 ultra clx for over year now, Great little gun, deadly accurate, but it does have one problem, in .177 it's possible for the pellets to fall backwards out of the magazine, and they end up in the mechanism, most of the time turning it upside down and giving it a good shake and they will come out, but sometimes you've got to remove the stock to fish them out. And the magazines themselves a pretty c**p, I've already had to replace the o-ring twice on my. But I live with these problems, as it's so accurate 👍
I had a look at the BSA when I was looking for a PCP, looked very nice but have to say for me HW100 was just better. That said I can see a time when I will have one in my collection.
Mrs had one when they first hit the shelves, had it 2 months, took it back, had FX Dreampup in part ex.. There were multiple problems on hers ( apparently with quite a few early ones) not knocking BSA, I've got the Goldstar SE, 2 x R10,"S an R12 and a 1974 Mercury, but the CLX was poor on several fronts.. There's better on the market at that price point..
Yeah I think longevity is always a question. But I’ve noticed I can just be bad luck. Got two np02s ones a dream the other just had nothing but problems!
You'll always have problems with PCP'S, acurracy is the trade off for reliability, and the other way round, seals go regularly, my Goldstar, R1O & Brocock are all in need of a reseal, gonna do R10 & Brocock in summer break.. Have the seals ready..
