cupra_matt Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Hi everyone. I am new to the airgun scene, although i did have a RWS Rapier about 5 years ago. I fancy getting back into it again but i need to choose the correct rifle. It needs to be multishot, and also upgradable power as i may go for my FAC. I have read a little about them and found the Airarms S410 and Theoben Rapid MK2 to be popular. Can anyone point me in the right direction, i would like to buy second hand and i have around £450 to play with. Thanks for your time Regards Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibby Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 If you are seriously considering going to FAC at some point i would be thinking two different rifles needed. You'll find a nice s410 for the budget you have and could get nicely set up. But converting a 12ft/lb to FAC isn't worth it. You'll lose alot of the value as the FAC's are much much chepaer second hand. Air Arms also don't convert a legal limit to FAC. Buy a nice 12lb now and if you do want to go to FAC sell and do it that way. I only have experience with air arms when it comes to multi shot and i love them.

cupra_matt Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the reply. I really like the look of the S410. I remeber looking at them back when i had my RWS but i just couldn't afford one then as i was only 18. But now i have the opppertunity to get back into it. Think i will keep my eye out for one, or if anyone can point in the direction of someone selling one that would be great.

pumpitup Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 You could get a Theoben Rapid MkII. If you find one at 12ft/lbs and want to upgrade then just send it off to Theoben and they can increase the power for you. Yep, you guessed it, I have one meself!

cupra_matt Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 I think iam going to apply for FAC for an air rifle. Can anyone give me any hints and tips on how to go about this? It would seem pointless spending loads on a Non FAC rifle when i can hopefully be granted FAC. Thanks Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
