dazzyboi Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 What sort of effective range do you get from a full powered S410 (.22) (not the xtra FAC version). I want to know the effective killing range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to know the effective killing range. You are looking at 45 yds.................................infanct 30yds is the standard "happy" norm.....

roblade Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 it ould be exactly the same range s your spring rifle, 12/flbs is 12/flbs regardless of the type of rifle being used. ROB:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rarms Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 >I want to know the effective killing range A gun is only as good as the person behind the trigger. Rule of thumb is the distance that you can reliably put all your shots inside a 1 pence piece. For a 12/ft/lbs Air rifle this translates for normal people (myself included) at around 30 metres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08shooter Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 have the xtra have took shots at 70 plus yards bought a 12ft lbs would be lucky to see 40 plus i think the pellet is easier influenced with wind.just as well i bought the carbine for inside work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roblade Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 A HW35 is probably going to be a more powerful rifle to the S410, the majority of PCP rifles are leaving facotories around 10.5F/lbs to ensure regardless of pellets used they are within the legal limit. Like i said find a club and have a chat there. Clubs are not just for shooting targets, they are for getting the most experiance with the minimum of spending. Even if you dont join you can have a nose about. and a bit confusing having two threads going that could have been rolled into one so will answer the din/ Aclamp fitting Q here 300bar bottles will have a DIN fitting (possibly a clamp but will only be charged to 232bar with A clamp) 232bar bottles will have "A" clamp fitted. again best advice is go to a dive shop and see what is about, it realy depends on how you get about as i siad if you want you can get a 15Ltr 300 bar bottle it weights approx 30kgs! not something you want to carry to the fields with you! you really need to give us more information before we can give you the best advice, like i said the best advice i could give you was join a club.

dazzyboi Posted October 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 The HW35 is getting on abit now (7-8 years old) with some heavy use so i am questioning its power output and relliability. I have shot a number of quarry with this gun but its only recently iv been having trouble with it. I think its getting past that stage use by date. The S410 would be highly ideal for me as i shoot in positions making it hard for me to re-load with a break barrell therefore the 10-shot mag bolt action loader will come in handy. Not only that i like the look of the gun, it has class and where my HW35 at its current state is only effective of upto 25 yards where as this would be 40-45yards. If i do apply for a FAC licence in the not to distant future, i can sell up the S410 which will give me the money back to get me the Xtra FAC version.

No Dosh Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 My S410k just came back from some fettling at AirArms knocking out a consistent 11.5. That's how they seem to set them. With that I can and do take out rabbits at 35m, 40 at a push. Took out 12 on Monday in 30 minutes, shooting from my pickup (unlit) driving around a field using a red filtered Deben Mini Pro. I've found using a laser to help with sighting/rangefinding massively improves my kill rate and has extended my range by 10m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elz Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Does the laser zero in with the scope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKEBITE Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Does the laser zero in with the scope? There are threads on here that go into a LOT of detail so have a search. However as a rule of thumb you zero the laser at the same point as your target zero. Then when you ping the target depending on where the laser is on the cross hairs you determine the range.

No Dosh Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 If you download Chairgun you can run all kinds of simulations on the best setup for the laser and scope. For mine the scope (LoS 2" above barrel) is zeroed at 25m and the laser (5.25" above barrel) at 22m. This means that if the laser dot is on or above the centre of the crosshair the target is within 22m and I should aim using the crosshair. If the laser is below the crosshair but above the first mildot I aim for the laser rather than the crosshair (based on 6x mag). If the laser dot is below the first mildot the target is at or beyond 37m and the shot isn't taken as there is too much risk of wounding rather than a clean kill. Using this setup the crosshairs are within a 1" diameter killzone from 12m to 28m while the laser follows that same killzone out to 37m. There is a crossover between the crosshairs and laser at 22m to 25m, but the variance at the target is small at this point so either will do.
