samboy Posted Monday at 11:06 Report Share Posted Monday at 11:06 Hi gang. Just been watching a chap on YouTube slagging them off. Especially the S510 Core. He said the firm are now behind the times. As for the S510 Core i like it. Nothing wrong with my 19 yr old S410 either and they are still making them. So what are your views on Air Arms compared to Bsa, Weirauch Daystate etc ?. Thanks all.

oldypigeonpopper Posted Monday at 11:30 Report Share Posted Monday at 11:30 (edited) Hello, Nothing wrong with any PCP if it works as is and reliable, Mostly it is the people who run these Companies, I have met the Air Arms and Brocock/ Daystate Teams , They seem to not take notice of what is required in the PCP rifle range and never ask what customers want or like made, Oh lets make this S 510 Core , We can just add a few extra bits more than the S410 and charge a Grand , Thats a £1000 folks, Oh before any comment i have used over 25 years a AA PCP, BSA PCP, HW PCP, Falcon PCP, Brocock PCP, FX PCP, but declined the Daystate, I have had on occasion to call Air Arms and always had good support, While i cannot say that for the Falcon team but it was years ago, I believe they have now Amalgamated with Air Arms ??

steve_b_wales Posted Monday at 12:18 Report Share Posted Monday at 12:18 The Air Arms S410 (FAC) was the very first PCP rifle I owned. I found this a fantastic, very accurate and well built rifle. I have also purchased a HW10 since then and this too is a very well made rifle, but for me, the Air Arms is better. 48 minutes ago, oldypigeonpopper said: Hello, Nothing wrong with any PCP if it works as is and reliable, Mostly it is the people who run these Companies, I have met the Air Arms and Brocock/ Daystate Teams , They seem to not take notice of what is required in the PCP rifle range and never ask what customers want or like made, Oh lets make this S 510 Core , We can just add a few extra bits more than the S410 and charge a Grand , Thats a £1000 folks, Oh before any comment i have used over 25 years a AA PCP, BSA PCP, HW PCP, Falcon PCP, Brocock PCP but declined the Daystate, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKD Posted Monday at 12:36 Report Share Posted Monday at 12:36 Who cares what people say about things like this ? As long as you're happy with your kit/outfit/combo, just laugh at them and carry on as usual 😄 BTW, I think Air Arms are garbage 😆🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see very little that's bad said about the 4/500 series, I'd happily shoot a 510 with side lever, not fond of the 410, much prefer my R10, but that's my preference.

I've had a few dealings with them over the years and always been very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultrastu Posted Monday at 17:23 Report Share Posted Monday at 17:23 I'm not an air arms fan boy - I'm a bsa fan boy admittedly .but I would never say air arms are **** .far from it . They make very good and reliable guns with a quality that is hard to beat. The only air arms I had (tx200 ) was super accurate and reliable. To Diss. Airarms is to make your self look stoopid .
