hello mate, i paid 400 for a second hand one about 6month ago in 22. im tempted myself but im saving for a deposit to buy a house so my mrs would kill me.. ATB with it mate

hello mate and welcome to the forum as mentioned above, i would personally buy a good quality springer,tried and tested ones like air arms or weihrauchs wont let you down, if you look in the for sale section there always coming up, for less than £250 u can pick them up with scope and bag sometimes. get a tin or 2 of pellets and some targets and have fun plinkin away untill your consistant at 25-30 meters. pointless spendin 5 or 600 pounds on a pcp setup because if you dont like the sport it may end up in the back of a cupboard! anyway mate enjoy..mick

good thread this. good to see other peoples take on 177. as i shoot 22. some good information there and i have fancied 177. for a while as most of my shooting is done at night. my range estimation is not that bad but i do miss too many shots, with a 177. i just might put more in the bag, most of my shooting is done at a maximum of 30 meters, most being much closer, so deffinatley something to consider. atb mick

CLASH OF THE TITANS - air arms S410 or BSA R10?
mick01 replied to Alex Arrigone's topic in Airgun Hunting
hello mate, im an s410 mam myself but my pal sold his his daystate air ranger and bought an r10 and doesnt regret it, his daystate was just to heavy, as lovely looking as it was. up to you matey -
classic and carbine is just the barrel length pal, classic is longer and carbine the shorter version. both rifles for me are of equal class, the only difference is personal preferance i suppose and as 90% of my shooting is from the standing position the carbine just feels more balanced and i can hold it still for a fraction longer. like i say its down to the individual. couldnt comment on the r10 matey my mate has 1 and he swares by it. i know si who commented above has 1 and he'l probably let you know his thoughts.

Hello Scott, i will try mate i have a carbine version in 22. and owned one a while back in classic, also 22. to be honest mate there are lads on here who will post shortly with far better advice. i dont get out enough to know it inside out and as there the only pcp i have owned i have nothing to compare it to!! anyway mate i love mine, i have had very few problems if any, accuracy has been perfect apart from a little blip a few weeks ago, it seems light enough to me as i often walk miles and it causes no bother. only thing i could possibly whinge about is the pressure gauge is knackerd. says 1

i guess there just a popular rifle like the man said, im happy with mine mate so far so good anyway.. touch wood
-
for me personally, its dark clothing, i wear black craghoppers or similar trousers, and a dark fleece/jacket or when its freezing i do have a realtree jacket but more for warmth than trying to get on top of my quarry. each to their own i guess. for tackle tarts its a great excuseto spend cash, for a tight arse like me its a great way to avoid it!! atb

them points must be stacking up anall gary! keep it going mate

alarm went off at 5am, thought i was 6-2 but im nights tonight instead so got up and had a coffee, realised my error, then thought sack it im up now so i grabbed my s410, charging kit, some targets and warm clothing. about 45 minutes drive to my permission and arrived just after half 6. the rain and wind was battering my car and i was beginning to feel i had wasted my morning!! i sat for half an hour or so and the rain settled down, was getting much lighter now so got my targets up, laid down on the soaked grass and began checking zero, it was miles out. low, and left. began clicking the turre

well done gary.. i was out this morning got soaked and was bloody freezing, had an awful plinking session, and shot no quarry.. the joys of airgunning

as long as you hit what your aiming at mate then it sounds good to me. my mate zeroes his using a vice not sure exactly how but he gets pellet on pellet at 25meters so it obviously works.. ATB mate

i would like to keep my s410 in the condition i bought it, it will pick up the odd marks but i need to stop being so lazy and learn to strip and maintain it. im shooting more than i used to which is good but with the bad weather coming i will need to look after my kit. i will research the stripping part as i know you have been through all this, but what is the best oil for me to buy? and how to apply? how much to apply? and where to? any advice or help would be massivley appreciated.. thanks in advance
