Ttfjlc Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Whichever one fits you best pal, both very good guns for the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clangerman Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 carried a s510 super lite carbine in the landie last few years faultless tool never breaks down out shoots me and drops them like a brick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 I think the S510 has a better reliability record. I used to have one and they're lovely rifles. Not used a Regal, but the S510's a superb gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUNKS Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 I used to have a 510 I now have a Huntsman classic. cant see much difference to tell the truth. Never had a problem with either. Just get which one feels best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Reliability and spares prices - S510 but dont bother with the "R" - not worth the extra cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeside1000 Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 I have the S400 AA , was a single shot but too fiddley getting the pellet into the breach, so invested in the magnetic mounted magazine, 8 shots, sadly manually operated but it knocks down anything I shoot at, I think the Air Arms are very well engineered and stand up to plenty of field work, mine is the .177, long flat trajectory, sub 12 but plenty of punch, great for rats, rabbits, pigeons and crows, but especially good for ferals around the farm buildings as its very quiet in use, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchers Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Had a s410 which I didn't like so always wanted a s510 but have amongst others a huntsman classic which just looks great and works ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Hello, they both are, just depends what appeals to you most and not forgetting if your buying for long term use then think of the spares, not that your need for an AA, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 It really is down to what tickles your fancy, they will both do the job if you do and both equally as reliable. I have a Mk2 AA S200 which I have put a fair few pellets through since acquiring it second hand and it still shoots like new. Had to replace the rubber retaining ring in the magazines once but now treat them with a,little graphite grease and no wear at all since then.

retromlc Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 I had a HW 100,, absolutely fantastic gun Soooo accurate, but it was too heavy to walk about with, I have an S410k now, very nice, not so keen on the bolt action compared to the HW side lever and perhaps not as consistent, the HW was incredibly accurate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkedUp Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 I have a 20 year old AA S410. It has had one service in its life and can put pellets through the same hole at 25 yards. I have never had an issue with it and use a stirrup pump. I can’t comment upon the Daystate as I have never needed to use another PCP.

Nearly every pcp will put pellets through the same hole at 25 yards still very accurate guns even at distance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 Yeah my springers do that at 25 yds . Even my 5.5 fpe hw30 makes a single 10 mm hole with flat head pellets at 25 yds . 25 yds isn't a test of airgun accuracy .50 yds is .

WalkedUp Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 I’ve got a .22LR for 50 yards, a .17hmr for 100 yards, a .223 for 200 yards and the .308 for anything past that so wouldn’t really know 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 In answer to the op AA less complex and cheaper to repair maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Pick the one that you like the most or whichever you can get the best deal on. Both are same same, like Browning or Beretta, Ford or Vauxhall. I've had AA s410, didn't keep it long, months iirc. Bought a Daystate Huntsman Classic, stunning walnut and fits like it's made to measure. Sold to my nephew as he loved it when he shot it. I had the Huntsman for around five years, never let me down. The Daystate Redwolf gets great reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biketestace Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 My Daystate Redwolf is a superb rifle, it had a typical air leak as Daystates qc is carp, since then its been faultless. The S510 iv got has been spot on from the off, is the Redwolf worth double the money ? Nope.. Would i buy another Daystate ? Yes... A Huntsman will be on my shopping list soon, along with another S510, but in FAC this time. I will choose which one on the day, after handling both.

villaman Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) Would I buy another daystate, let me think for a second, in fact I don’t need that amount of time No bloody way , overpriced, overrated **** Edited January 26, 2021 by villaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo33 Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) I've had a new leaky air arms, a superb air arms, leaky HW100, that when sorted, was a great rifle, a beyond ghastly FAC Rapid MkII. I have now, an Airwolf 40ftlb FAC which is the most absurdly brilliant machine. not missed a beat in 7 years and an Air Ranger in .177 again, faultless, that will ping drawing pins at 40yards for well over 200 shots before a refill. They all have their different qualities. Some are lighter with a low shot count, others a high shot count, some with the most gorgeous walnut, others bland lacquered and stained Beech. All I can offer to the conversation is, buy something you enjoy owning and have fun with. All the top makes, Air Arms, Weihrauch, Daystate are superbly machined rifles. There will always be someone who puts down a make for whatever personal reason they might have. I would buy any one of these rifles again, but for me at the moment, the Daystates have proven to be the class of the field over the others by a huge margin.
