kipper Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 I've got a AAS410 carbine .22. I love it and I think it would take some beating. make sure you get the new model tho. they have got safety catch on trigger. HW100t I cant coment on this gun I have never used one. good luck I hope you find what you are looking for. KIPPER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldandnew Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 im a hw100 owner both s and t only one small fault with these rifles and thats the weight you wouldnt really want to lug one of these round all day and then have to take a shot up a tree !!! i normally set a hide up leave all my bits and bobs in there and return a couple of times now if your just target shooting these things are **** on ive been hitting a 40mm spinner at 65 yrds no probs rgds oldandnew although you could go for the new hw100 carbine and there about 2.5 lbs less in weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronttuk Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 used both hw100 all day lond it might be heavier but thats its only downside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theskyfox Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Both my Rifles have the German Weihrauch barrel fitted and I can 100% say that the German barrels are good . One is 22 and the other is 177 and Im thoroughly impressed. -Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean c Posted November 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 i will use the rifle for rabbit shooting and target shooting so the weight is a issue so that is swaying me to the air arms but the next problem is calibre.i allready shoot a .22 but i fancy trying .177 what do these calibers perform like at fac power levels.

pin Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 I prefer .177 for legal limit hunting, obviously you'd want .22 for FAC. In general you'd be better off getting a legal limit gun then chopping that in or keeping it and buying a dedicated FAC rifle when the time comes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean c Posted November 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 ive decided on the classic s410 in .177 with hawke sr6 scope and ive just bought it today.ive only shot a few shot to zero everything but so far its a beautiful gun and im glad ive chosen it i would highly reccomend one.
