First Blood For My New S410

[Jono_g 27]

Well I finally decided to treat myself to an air rifle after a good few years without one. I decided on the s410 super lite hunter,beautiful gun and I love it. Well after a few weeks of getting to know her and shooting as many targets as I could I decided this afternoon I'd try the rabbits on my ferreting perm,arrived at about 16.00 which is a bit early but needed to be home for something. I walked the boundary of one of the fields and didn't see much about so decided to find a likely looking spot and sit it out. About 45mins in and I saw movement to my left, slowly moved the rifle into position and ranged the bunny at just on 52 meters,I took out my range cards (a bit of a geek) and set up for the shot,squeezed the trigger and the unmistakable thwack followed. I walked over and there she was,stone dead. The pellet didn't exactly hit where I aimed,a touch low but I'm over the moon anyway. I'll try upload a pic as soon as I'm near my laptop.

Also want to thank you lads because I've been lurking here for ages and reading as much as I can and the knowledge on this site has helped me a ton. Cheers lads

Sounds a worthwhile outing. Nice one.

[Jono_g 27]

Yeah it was mate,I'll hopefully get out more,I wanted to get used to the rifle first.

[random 659]

Sounds like you are used to it and well prepared too,food to get out and get something with a new rifle,more write ups to come and some pics then?

[Jono_g 27]

Hi Jono, welcome to the forums .

S410 - great rifle !

52 meters, forgive me mate- get closer, be "totally sure". Get your thoughts around some fieldcraft.

 

 

Great start jono.

Yes. About time we saw a 410SL in these forums. There so f'kin smart.

 

I'm guessing the only reason you 'only' got one is due to that muzzle crack AA are known for. Get the AA mod up front and you'll have a bag filler indeed.

 

Nice one.

[Jono_g 27]

Yeah I totally agree,I got caught up in the moment,it won't happen again unless I'm totally sure.

[Jono_g 27]

Partly rez but I also needed to make tracks for home as my Mrs had family over and wanted me there...I shall be getting a decent mod as soon as funds allow,think I'm going for the q-tec. Cheers for the comments lads

Nice going very nice gun mate

Good choice of gun and nice shooting.

 

I've got a 2003 model and it is spot on so you will have many many years of quality use out it.

 

Keep us informed of your sessions.
