CLASH OF THE TITANS - air arms S410 or BSA R10?
1652HCU replied to Alex Arrigone's topic in Airgun Hunting
When I get the money together mine is the AirWolf. Excellent piece of kit. If I had the money it would be in the safe already. :D -
My project is rebuilding my XS79 into a S10 mk1 stock. See the ugly lump?
-
Got any larger photos? How did you reshape that ugly lump on the bottom.
-
That looks very good , I have a Mk1 S10 stock project that needs a lot of work. Good to see the hopeful outcome.
-
Personally, I would go second hand and get a good Springer HW ot TX and also a PCP - S400 or such. For example: HW97K @ £175 and S400 @ £325
-
I second the S410 - very good all rounder.
-
Looks way too cold with all that white stuff about. Good on you guys for staying the course. What springer is that, XS19?

You can get a RatBag for your Ratty off Evilbay. I got a RatBag for my Ratty off another forum and a Rifle/ Tool bag for my Custom Ratty off EvilBay.

Hi Manco, used to stay in P-town many moons ago. Love the Career 707, but here it would be best at FAC levels - limiting to sub 12fpe seem an injustice.
-
Agree with Phantom, the XS19 is excellent and when tuned even better. Am waiting for a gasram for one of my XS19s (somehow ended up with three ). The S200 is an excellent pcp - got a mk2 and it will outshoot my abilities anyday. If you have the budget look at the S410 & S510, both excellent air rifles.
-
Nice job removing the 'flying rats'. Now for the photos.
-
GinB - Custom Wood Stocks are also very good. The link will show you the making of a GinB stock. http://ginb.piczo.com/?g=51839901&cr=5# If I recall correctly the GinB stocks start at around £150.
-
What I should have said was it is sometimes cheaper to find someone who will custom make these items, as off the shelf they are getting to be too expensive. For Stocks have a look at: LP Gunstocks Just a few images:
-
Nice choice and nice rifle. Had a go with one the other day and it is a good solid airgun.
-
Nice video. The S200 is a very nice bit of kit, mine just needs a fill cover.
-
For my bluing project I just went to all my local (and not so local) RFDs and asked them if they had anything. Got a BSA Airsporter that needed TLC and a Webley Vulcan. The Airsporter cost me £20 and the Vulcan cost £10. So basically just ask - most guys want shot of these as they are just taking up space.

There was a quiz in a men’s mag many moons ago. Basically you had to concentrate on a pic with a topless girl in it for one minute and then answer a question posted a few pages on. The question was: “What is the colour of the background?†I had to page back….

As others have said ensure you are accuracy proficient, before shooting at live game. There is much info to be gained off YouTube, I like John Darling’s videos. Lots of info and all by a true legend. I always believe that the best way to learn is to accompany someone who is proficient in the art. Best way to learn.

The Falcon Accuracy Plus are also great pellets. RWS Superdomes are a very good pellet too, there are many pellet fussy barrels that do well with Superdomes.

The Underlevers can be sweetened out no end Shot one a year or so back in Coventry at a UBC meet. It was fitted with one of those Tasco scopes. Was very nice and knocked over a metal bunny at 40 yards on the HFT lane. It was actually easier to shoot than my beautifull beast (XS19) Phantom The XS36-1 (Carbine) & XS36-2 Are good underlevers and quite powerful and very good value for money. As is the XS38, but the trigger is a bit iffy and the gun is heavy. The XS19 is a good bit of kit and can be sweetened to a much better rifle for very little money & effort. Basi
