Old Soldier Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) New to the site.Ex army.Was into my fishing (carp) but had to give it up 2 years ago cos due to ill health.Thought I would take up arms again in the form of an air rifle,so far I have had a Logun s16, and a Stealth but sonn realised that if I wanted to actualy hit the target I needed to get a "proper"air rifle... I am after an s400 .177 Classic,so if anyone has one or knows of one for sale please let me know... Thanks see you around the site...

lakeside1000 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) Yes indeed I have the AA S400 .177, just sold my BSA .22 lightening spring gun as I wanted to move on to a pcp. It is very well engineered , a little heavy but so solid, with a good scope, I have the hawk with illuminated mill dot system, it shoots 6 shots at 30 yards inside a 15 millimeter circle. I intend to use it for lamping rabbits and some pigeon roost shooting, My only thought on this weapon is that I wish I had gone for the S410 with the 10 shot mag, reloading a .177 into the breach in the dark is going to be a bit of a challenge, its difficult in daylight with my fat fingers. There is a mag on the market to fit into the breach which holds 10 pellets , it dosn't rotate automatically when reloading , but would make reloading in the dark a lot quicker and easier, problem is its £60 , so think about what you want to use the gun for, but I can thoroughly recommend the AA S400.

Old Soldier Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Thanks for the very warm welcome,certainly better than the BBS where its almost impossible to get comment, unless it's "your Banned" lol. @ lakeside1000 They are good value for money and are capable of some good results. @ gdsm10airgunner Thanks for that,there is a few on there but there's always something wrong with them.Wrong calibre,left handed,carbine,too far away.etc etc. @ The Ghost Not sure about pictures,not too clever with a compooters. @ nicholiath what regiment mate? I was in the 2nd Btn RRF from 68-78. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
