Overview
The BSA Ultra SE is a compact pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) multi-shot .22 air rifle manufactured in Birmingham, England. One of the shortest full-power PCP sporters at just 820mm long and 2.6kg, it uses a 232 bar self-contained air reservoir, a cold hammer-forged barrel with a removable muzzle brake, and a traditional bolt-action loading system feeding from a 10-shot rotary magazine. It is regulated to the UK 12 ft/lb (16J) sub-legal limit and yields around 50 shots per fill in .22 caliber.

Notes
Successor to the original BSA Ultra. Available in .177, .22 and .25 calibers with beech or synthetic ambidextrous stocks. The modern BSA airgun line is produced under Spanish ownership (Gamo) but the Ultra is built at BSA's Birmingham works.
Background
BSA's Ultra series is prized by airgun hunters for its carbine-length handiness, letting it swing freely in dense woodland and hides where a full-length PCP would snag.
