alanlee Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Hi, I`ve been considering purchasing an Air Arms s400 after reading good reviews about them, i have been looking at different online sites and there seems to be quite a bit of variation to how much they cost How much should i be looking at spending?? just to give you some idea of what i need is : The Lot! Scope, Bag, pellets, Targets Wheres the place to buy online?? No idea about the cost, but Uttings, Blackpool air rifles, and Ramsbottoms are usually the cheapest and do mail order. The rifle price is usually quite similar, maybe £20 up or down between sellers, but it is the scope choice that can make a big difference.£35 will buy an AGS or similar scope, quite usable, and adequate.Paying a bit more will give you a sharper image, and maybe better build quality.I've just downgraded froma £150 Bushnell scope to a £50 BSA scope, and to be honest, I can hardly tell the difference in image quality.At air rifle ranges, I dont beleive that you need to spend hundreds on a scope.Bags are £10 upwards, typically £30 for a well padded bag.(ever thought of buying a hard case? they are available for £30 upwards, and protect the gun much better than a soft bag). Pellets can be got from anywhere.£5 or £6 a tin. Dont skimp on pellets, buy the one that suits your rifle you can only test this by trying out a number of different pellet types, which you'd be able to do if you went to a Gun Club. Alan.

pin Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Are you sure you want the 400 and not the 410 multishot? I know HFT shooters prefer the single shot, but considering there isn't much difference... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
