Dandaman_24 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) Evening all, I'm pretty new to air rifles, so take it easy. I'm looking to get myself an airgun and have set my "sights" on an AA s410 TDR. Reviews on t'internet appear good, but then again their probably biased sponsored videos. Haaving only seen it online, i like it as its a take down air rifle, it looks nice and review looks ok. If / when purchased, i plan to use it on pigeons / crows / rabbits n rats. So has anyone got any advice on this gun ? overpriced ? is there anything else i should consider ? Thanks Dan Edited August 19, 2015 by Dandaman_24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenduri Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) I've used a S410 several times at my airgun club and I've had a play around with a S410 in my local Airgun Shop but from my personal observations from my limited time using either Its just a bog standard AirArms S410 (Which is a cracking rifle) but with an uncomfortable "stock" and no cheek riser. Also as it has no stock as such, its a bit front heavy but lighter overall than a Standard S410. if i was buying one i would have to fashion up some form of detachable cheek piece to make it comfortable to use for me personally Edited August 19, 2015 by Zenduri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I can only comment as a user of an S410 carbine - in left-handed stock/bolt version, which is absolutely fantastic. If the TDR is as good, then the weak link will be the Mk.1 human on the blunt end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Any incarnation of the S410 is going to be the Dogs Danglies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksman1997 Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 I looked into buying one for my younger brother mainly due to it being very compact and very light as he is 10 years old. Think its 5.75lb so pretty light. But then i spotted Brocock Contour Supersix and really liked the look of it! Very small and compact nice cheek-piece very accurate and im pretty sure it was under 4lb which is ridiculous! Amazing for a young shooter! And all that for around the £500 mark New. Brocock also do much newer models so there should be one that you like. http://www.brocock.co.uk/ a few reviews on the super 6 http://www.gunmart.net/gun_review/brocock_contour a place to buy the super 6 http://www.sportsguns.co.uk/air-rifles-uk/preeeshy/brocock1/ssix.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maidment78 Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 I have used the S410 TDR, the S410 and now use the S510, superb rifles, easy to use, reliable and accurate. Why the TDR? looks cool but personally I would go for the standard carbine and put a nice big scope on it. Just personal preference though, its what I did. You can use the S410 TDR with the stock off as it self regulates to air pistol power levels but I never bothered, I prefer carbines, less moving parts so less things to break and short barrels as rats in a small space are rather quick so speed is useful,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandaman_24 Posted August 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Thanks for all your replies. I'm turning against the TDR now. Been to my local store and they had BSA r10 mkII brand new for £600. appears to be a good price, better than anywhere i can find online. Same question, is it a decent gun ?

Marksman1997 Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Great gun in my opinion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polester Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 I've got a TDR top gun in my opinion. I used it mainly for ratting and shooting round the farm, with it being short and light it's a joy to carry and shoot around the buildings. It doesn't have the biggest shot count but I just take my bottle and top up if it gets low. The reason I bought it in the first place was because it fits into a case so it doesn't look like a gun so no one bothers when out walking with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat g Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 As has been said in an earlier post any of the AA S410's you wont go wrong. They are tried tested, very reliable easy to service/repair and parts are widely available should you ever need them. An S410 does everything you could ever want from a sub 12ftlb pcp. I've had my s410 carbine for nearly 8 years now and it's shot 1000's of pellets in that time. Apart from a couple of services and a new indexing spring thats all its ever had. There are some lovely pcp's out there HW100 various Daystates and the BSA r10 mk2 is a lovely looking rifle. Yes i've been tempted but for what i use an air rifle for these days none of the more expensive offerings will do any more than my s410 carbine and that's i would recommend. Carbine in 177. You won't go wrong. enjoy whatever you choose ATB, Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BattleFieldRelics Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 S410 was the best air rifle I owned until I tried a HW100. Now shoot the Weihrauch HW100, best there is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
