FalconFN Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 £600 would get an Air Arms s410 and scope new, hard to beat for the money. Or Rapid 7 etc secondhand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo33 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I would go for a mint s/h weihrauch hw100ks (karbine sporter) q/f...plenty around for 550ish more shots per fill on the full length, (HW100s)but they are heavy. If you want to buy new, an Air Arms s410. You will get a beeched stocked one and a moderator for close to 570...70 more for the walnut stock. Again, there are some good second hand deals to be had and a mint one will probably be around 450 with scope. In terms of accuracy I find them both as accurate as each other. The AA is lighter. Hope this helps, good luck in your search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vampire Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 For a 12 flb get the AA410 CLASSIC .177 i cannot praise this rifle enough,in the classic you will get extra shots and .177 will as a fact shoot faster and further and the equiv to 22lbs .22 according to the chair ,i sold mine to fund my fac and it went for £450 inc mod earlier this year,it was beech model and mint,the only thing i would say against it was; The classic with a mod on is very long The bluing is not so good and MUST be oiled after use The bolt action can be notchy til you get used to it I have owend and used others and would still buy a 410 again,if fac i would prob consider a rapid as well,but at 12flbs it would defo be .177.

spiceychilli57 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Another vote for .177 over .22 Does the AA 410 have a regulator? When i bought my BSA hornet (long time ago now) it was a choice between that and the air arms, i was swayed by the bsa having a free floating barrel and a regulator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i bought my BSA hornet (long time ago now) it was a choice between that and the air arms, i was swayed by the bsa having a free floating barrel and a regulator Not the AA doesn't have a regulator as standard, but you can get them after market...but costly. The weihrauch does.The AA is a little erratic if you fill up to the max recommended max pressure of 200. I fill to 170-175 and then have a sweet spot down to around 95. That allows plenty of bang on accurate shots and to be honest if you have a pcp you will have charging gear so imho its pointless to try and run it down to its last breath or worry about buying a rifle because it doesn't have a regulator. I havn't yet used more than about 15 shots on a hunting outing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishatheart Posted November 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 I want it for bunnies, pidgeon and crows, my old mans rapid 7 would be ideal. I would like to stick to one of those, but want other opinons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
