peacey Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Isn't it funny when you read loads of reviews and ask so many questions as to which is the best gun blah blah. It's only when you go and pick them up and feel them, their weight, balance and shoulder it, you realize what's good for one isn't always good for another. I had 2 guns in mind today when i set out, the Webley Raider 10 and the BSA Scorpion T10 but when i finally got to the nice folk at GUNS INTERNATIONAL, BARNSLEY everything changed. As soon as i picked up the S410K that was it, all the others didn't feel right. The balance is so good, not sure on the new safety button on the trigger, but don't want to comment further until used in the field. All fitted out with a 3-9x50 Hawke Reflex scope and an Air Arms Silencer. They also put it on the chrono using Air Arms pellets and it put out 11.75 ft/lb which I think is pretty damn good. Very happy indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08shooter Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 top gun mate i dont believe you will buy a better gun for your money. the s400/410 range is incredibly accurate and comfortable to shoot.they are as accurate as a lot of dearer guns for sure. i for one would say my s400 was more accurate than my hw100 and im not ashamed to say it. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacey Posted December 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Went out first time this afternoon to the local golf course for an hour and managed to get 3 squirrels with it. Handled perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CARBINE Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 I`v got the same gun and just like you I feel it`s like an extension of your arms and part of your body I`v had a lot of air rifles and this one is the best by far so far.

proud dad Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 S410K is a lovely rifle, had mine a while now. Just out of interest, what golf course is it you shoot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckytrigger Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Good choice! Ive has a couple in the past both carbines in .22. Seriously accurate only slight niggle was that the blueing is a bit thin. Just be sure to give it a bit of an oil after each time you've been out with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacey Posted December 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 S410K is a lovely rifle, had mine a while now. Just out of interest, what golf course is it you shoot? Don't like to say the course as i know of one that the animal rights found out about and wrecked the greens. Took me ages to get and get the committee on side so don't want to cause any upset. If you're interested in doing a bit though pm me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Funker Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Great choice, I've got the standard S410 and it's ridiculously accurate. It makes even an *** like me shoot well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacey Posted December 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Another six squirrels today. Little ******* don't know what's hit em. Thats it though now until next weekend give them a break. I'd highly recommend to anyone to use the air arms field pellet in the s410k mine loves em and they're so accurate, mind you squirrels don't like em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommo12543 Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 what a great conversation to look at im going to buy an s410 tomorrow im etting a carbine hopefully. s410k............ what does the k stand for i've sen it everywhere but havent worked it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loopy bunny blaster Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 the "K" means carbine, basically means the barrel is shorter making for a lighter/handier rifle no less accurate, just means you get less shots from the rifle.

peacey Posted January 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 the "K" means carbine, basically means the barrel is shorter making for a lighter/handier rifle no less accurate, just means you get less shots from the rifle. Still get 80 shots though with the carbine and its about 100mm shorter which doesn't sound much but trust me it is. It feels just as good and as anyone can tell you 80 shots is plenty for a trip out in the field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loopy bunny blaster Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 yep. 80 is more than enough i charge the air ranger and it lasts me 3 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowan Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I bought my S410K last feb, my mate has the classic, we shoot over a lot of farms here in CORNWALL mainly lamping in my suzuki.I still can't believe how accurate and how silent it is, so much so that i rarely use .22lr or 17hmr, average bag is 30-50 and as we use them all thats enough to skin and clean in one go.

elz Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Couldnt agree more. Im so gutted im sellin mine. Need the cash to fund my new shotgun. I only fired roughly 100 shots and on every shot i thought WOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacey Posted January 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 They get better with every pellet through them too. Went out again today and got 3 more squirrels. It's a dream to use, balanced and so easy to point. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kipper Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 The AA S410 is a fantastic air rifle :unsure: When i applied for my SGC My mate said you wont use the air rifle again after you have a shot gun (I've got 2 now a semi auto and a o&u) Then wnen I applied for my FAC another mate of mine said you wont use the AA S410 again when you have got a .22lr rim fire. (I have got a .22lr semi auto) How wrong was they. I still use my AAS410 more than the shot guns or the .22 lr semi auto (exept when pigeon shooting over decoys and magnet of course). The AAs410k is a fantastic hunting rifle I have had mine for about 6yrs now. never had a problem with it and it has allways served me well. the only thing I dont like about mine is that it has no safety catch . but the new models have so thats not a problem anymore. If any of you are thinking of buying one I would HIGHLY reccomend them. FANTASTIC GUN IMHO. Kipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveieP Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 LO Kipper I'm quite near you at Dronfield Any suggestions for local gunshops, even if it's just to get pellets? Feels like a barren gunless wasteland in these parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
