Rez 4,957 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Anyone have any thoughts or opinions on AA Hunters over AA Fields and visa versa? Do the hunters come in 5.52 like the fields? I can't seem to find them in my normal convenience store Uttings. Quote Link to post
jamesS410 106 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Are the hunters not pointed pellets? If so experience makes me inclined to say stick with the standard fields. I've never tried the hunters but I'm yet to find a pointed pellet that flies with any degree of accuracy Quote Link to post
Rez 4,957 Posted September 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Yes. My thoughts exactly, from reviews they seem to go ok, but the members options matter more. They don't seem to be that pointed actually. More so an 'acute dome', hence the post... It's all perhaps in real world results. Quote Link to post
jamesS410 106 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Interesting. Keep us all posted if you try some. I find aa fields suit my rifle pretty well but I don't seem to be able to resist experimenting with others in search of that all elusive perfect pellet so I am genuinely eager to hear if you have good results. 1 Quote Link to post
villaman 9,980 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 My mate uses hunters in his S410 with great results , tried them on paper and getting them to group at 50 yards in a 5p bit size group 1 Quote Link to post
Rez 4,957 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Nice one v'man. Got some exacts for now, after these ill lube my tube and get the points. Safe. Quote Link to post
pianoman 3,584 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) I once had a .22 Air Arms TX200 rifle that loved Air Arms Hunters over Air Arms Fields Rez. It's a semi-pointed (semi-Diablo?) pellet in reality. Not a full-sharp pellet which, I've yet to find, are anything near as reliably accurate. Definitely worth a try at least Simon Edited to add. I'm certain they are available in 5.52mm headsize. Edited September 8, 2014 by pianoman Quote Link to post
Rez 4,957 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Yeah that's um Simon. I will do, I'll get though these exacts, I know they'll be good, picked um up today @ 5.52. To be fair, if they are grouping well, like really well, I might stick to um for a bit, but it's good to hear they get the nod from the members. Quote Link to post
carlo5983 11 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Has any one tried the h&n hunter or hunter extreme are they any good?? Quote Link to post
jamesS410 106 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I've had a play with hunter extremes in .177 sub 12ft lb and was very impressed with them up to about 40 yards. Up to that sort of range you couldn't fault them at all in my s410 but the groupings seemed to open up very quickly beyond that. When they're on song they hit with one hell of a whack but to be honest if you put the pellet in the right place dead is dead regardless of what you use your best bet really is to get a sample pack and try a few (if your using .177 pm me and I'll stick 20 or so in the post if you like) 1 Quote Link to post
villaman 9,980 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 I found them ok to about 45 - 50 yards in my old regal ,when it was working 1 Quote Link to post
silentshot1 206 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I bought hunters about 5 years ago, mistaking tbem for fields. Only recently gave the spare 850 from the two tins I bought to a friend. Not that bad, but not as good as 5.52 Fields in my AA, Weihrauch BSA barrels. 1 Quote Link to post
