More specifically the Career 707 9mm/.357 but any 707 owners input would be helpful.

Looking to fill a spot between my .117 Disco and Dragon.
NordicPirate seems to absolutely love his! Couldn't help but notice.

I want something that likes lead balls...a size that is easy to find...and a size that a ball mold is common. From what ive read, the 9mm 707 Ultra takes to .360 balls quite well. Possibly .357 too. I dont know.

I like the 707s multi shot ability, the power adjustment, and isn't nearly as air hungry as my Dragon (5 good shots max but 3 devastating ones! Just think...there are much more powerful pneumatics than a Dragon out there!). Oops. $:-\$ Sidetracked.

I noticed that NordicPirates 707 has a curved lever and different stock than the ones listed in all the online stores... Is that the latest model? Pirate?

Can you even find a 707 Ultra anywhere anylonger ?, I don't even see them popping up in the classifieds no more, surely is a cheap gun to shoot, the Ballistic Product .360 roundball runs at less than a nicle a shot

Ive found what is "called" a 707 Ultra anyway. What makes an ultra and ultra?

Nomadic Pirate · « **Reply #3 on:** February 21, 2011, 04:15:42 PM »

Ultra is the 9mm Model, there's 707s in .22 and .25.

You should look into the .25 Sumatra too, wanderfull gun

Well....then they do still sell them.bout $550
So all the ultras look like yours with a curved lever?

Will do. Which is the better value? In your eyes.
Will a .25 Sumatra take a lead ball? That is kinda a requirement of mine for big bore. Thanks man.

Nomadic Pirate · « **Reply #5 on:** February 21, 2011, 06:26:25 PM »

No, the Sumatra won't take a roundball.

Most of the 9mm Ultras out there have a straight lever action, I've only seen a couple like mine.

Where have you seen any for sale ?...because I wouldn't mind get me a second one

spysir
Thanks for the great info!

"If I wanted a new 707 Ultra I would try ARS first." Sorry to sound stupid but what or who is ARS?

"Do think about a sigle shot also." Why? I seem to find them close to the same price. Simpler?

How about a home poured bullet from a mold? Probably fine?

Thanks

I just google career 707 ultra 9mm

mojomoto · « **Reply #7 on:** February 22, 2011, 01:03:36 AM »

Thanks tons guys!

Ive been doing A LOT of research on the 707 ultra. Im kinda stuck on that one.

Like the fact that it likes ball and bullets both, repeater, seem to be popular, I have found very few negatives about them, price is quite fair in my opinion, and NomadicPirate would marry his if it could cook!

I was thinking you guys should get together and compile a history of the changes in the career line of big bores since the started selling them here in the us. The models and updates all that. Its a shame to not share that knowledge.

Hey Mojo,,I'm in the same boat,lol! I was waiting on the New Condor's to come in in .25 cal and now they are,,but I'm hung up on the 9mm and they will hold it for me until I decide,but I can't expect it forever,lol.What to do,,too many decisions he he.
I want that last 707 Ultra Bad,,but I want the .25 cal condor too so I soon have to make the choice.
Hope you get yours soon and let us know what you think of it.

Thanks,

Troy

Yea. You couldnt go wrong either way. Im leaning the 707 Ultra for the price to shoot point, the if I need to make my own ammo point, being a repeater, and adjustability (Condor is adjustable too. right?). Ive got a dragon and like the quality. If I won the lottery.......guess i have to buy a ticket. There are so many good PCPs out there these days at decent prices too.
Good luck

Nightstalker · « **Reply #10 on:** February 22, 2011, 05:42:03 PM »

Thanks Mojo! Well I have the option and I have it nuntil tomorrow to make up my mind as there's guys are wanting that 707.I've read so much about the Orings on the breech probe blowing out that it's got me undecided.I may have to just say no and keep my existing plan so someone else can have it,(But being the last of it's kind,I'm still pondering).

Yes it is and the thing that's got me about the New .25 Cal Condor is that you can buy all the rest of the calibers barrels.I think I'm going to pass on the 707 and let those guys go for the gold,lol,and keep my current plan for the Condor.I apprecieate them giving me another day to decide,but I don't want to mess up a sale for them either! Keep with the plan my wife say's,lol.

Besides,,passing on this may open another option that may even be better. Good Luck and I hope you get what you wan to.

Thanks.

Im working on it.

Jaymo · « **Reply #13 on:** February 23, 2011, 01:09:08 AM »

000 buckshot is .360" diameter.
I might even get a .35 Remington barrel for my planned PCP build. I'm thinking about making it as a switch barrel so I can convert it to .25, .28, .30, .38, .45 and .410
I may narrow it down to .25, .30, .38 and .410. A BB gun for all seasons.

JonnyReb · « **Reply #14 on:** February 23, 2011, 01:18:18 AM »

Now that sounds pretty cool, especially that .410.

Nomadic Pirate · « **Reply #15 on:** February 23, 2011, 02:17:51 PM »

I've seen that one, the restriction to an even smaller ammo loading port makes it undesireble in my case, the Ultra has a lot of potential if we can only get a bullet maker to make 100 or so gr ammo for it,.....I'm working on it

mojomoto · « **Reply #16 on:** February 24, 2011, 09:21:24 PM »

Well. Im getting closer to a decision. I may have sold an old Briggs and Stratton (1934) engine on craigslist. That would make a new gun a sure thing.
Last questions. Mostly to Pirate....or people who own a 707 Ultra.
So a .360 ball is a good choice....as far as balls go?
Should i send it in directly to be tuned before I even get it?
Where should i send it if so?
How much is a good tune?

Anybody want to save me from a mistake?

(in their eyes)
My requirements again.
Under $700
Takes to lead balls fine.
Repeater. (more a want than required)
Adjustable power.
Mid big bore size. (I already have a Dragon .50)

Thanks again for your patience guys!!!
David

Well seems that the ultra fits all of your requirements.

the .360 Ballistic Product roundball is the only round worth getting right now, there's some slugs being developed but they are not ready yet, The .360 roundball comes out at less than a nickle per shot, same price of a .25 pellet

no need to get her tuned right away, i would do that in a few months, a good tune runs in the 200 bucks range
