gazandjen Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I have a .177 hw100 and am wondering whether to swap it for a .22 AirArms S410. What you guys reckon? The AA seems lighter, I had the s400 and now have the HW100 and it seems much heavier. Also because of the large mag you seem to fire off more shots than required - seem to be refilling costantly AA is nice but you will regret losing the HW100 as everything seems to be disigned better (mag and loading system) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyjaimz Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 It depends how old your HW100 is, if its an old pre anti-tamper one and you're looking at a new S410 then it might make sense. That said, if you had a new HW100 and a new S410 next to each other - the 100 is the better gun by a mile in my opinion. As for going over to the dark side (.22) are you ******?

sternyboy Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 The reasoning for thinking about a .22 is that I want an FAC airrifle and didn't think a .177 would be much cop at that power. What you guys think on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyjaimz Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 I think that a .177 air rifle running at around 18 ft/lbs with Barracudas (10.65g) or Bis Mags (10.5g) would be a fantastic hunting tool. In fact thats what I plan to do with my Daystate when I get around to applying for the FAC. I chrono'd it on sunday night with Bis Mags and over 10 shots it came out at 11.9 ft/lbs - hellish close! and it's lethal Bigger and more power doesnt always mean better.

Axeman1984 Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 i chopped my s410 classic in the other month and got myself a HW100s, the s410 is a cracking pice of kit "BUT" the HW100 is much better, its got a better reload you get more shots per fill and i just think its a bit better gun but i would say that wouldent i, theres not much in it really there both top guns. cheers.......fenman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salop Matt Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 I know am Fairly young (23) etc but in september we replaced our daystate with a HW100 and we only had that 3 weeks and just didnt get on with it so we gave the AA S410 ago and loved it. To get more shots out of it we have had a regulator added inside the gun and its preformance and consistancy is great ! I only shoot upto the range of 35 - 40yrds regardless and with a head shot .22 or .177 theyr brown bread ! So calibre is no issue for me !

sternyboy Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 OK guys, we're50/50 on this poll now!!! Seeing as I do get on with the HW100 I may as well keep hold and keep dropping the bunnies with this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axeman1984 Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 if you can afford it sometimes its nice to just have a change the s410 is a top rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad al Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I have a .177 hw100 and am wondering whether to swap it for a .22 AirArms S410. What you guys reckon? B) wouldn't even go there, to me the 410 is THE most over rated rifle in the world ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CARBINE Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 The S410 is not over rated at all, it does the same job as the HW100 and I have had mine 2 years and 10,000 pellets down it and have had not one bit of trouble with it and is still as accurate and powerful as day one.

peacey Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I have the s410k and it's a great rifle and not overrated at all. I didn't like the feel of the hw100t and preferred the shorter s410k that i bought. I shoot with a guy who has the hw100t, he loves it and i love mine. Personal taste. The world would be a boring place if we all had the same opinion. By the way I'm right ha ha B) :unsure: :blink: :wub: :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptcruiser Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 I have a couple of .177 100's.1 has my NV scope permanantly mounted for night time shooting and the other i use for daytime shooting.I rate them very highly!...Fantastic cocking system,quiet and very accurate!.....Having said that i am looking to buy an FAC rated Air Arms S410 .22 but am gonna keep ythe 100's.....Just wondered if anybody out there could recommend a silencer to put on the S410 even though i am told they are pretty quiet anyway?

peacey Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Logun or Air Arms are good. My S410k has the Air Arms and it's whisper quiet. Have you priced for an FAC S410? If so how much, cos the prices I've had seem a bit dear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSA Shaun Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Have you tried the S410? If I were you I would get down the range with both and then decide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HW silencer is awesome on a 410. Obviously you will need an adpater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
