mattwhite 1,993 Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 Cant speak for the scorpion personally as ive not owned one but my s410f classic multi was as accurate as they come pal. Really sweet to shoot. The only thing for me was it was a bit lanky but that suots some people 1 Quote Link to post
si brown 8,486 Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 I’m like Matt above, never shot a scorpion but I’ve had two 510’s witch apart from the cocking style are the same as a 400 and they were both mega consistent on FPS and accuracy was spot on! 1 Quote Link to post
vizlauk 1,568 Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 S410 carbine every time, what area are you in as I seen a nice walnut s410 for sale this morning, north east ! Quote Link to post
villaman 9,983 Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 BSA Scorpion T10 are very nice and very accurate , at the time it was the bigger brother of BSA Ultra which gave you more shots You can reg these guns very easy and will be up there with most PCP's , just like the Ultra If the s400 is single shot you can get a kit to turn it into multi shot (10 shot) The only thing the barrels can have bad rust pitting and are very thin on s400 and s410 Quote Link to post
lurcher.man 88 Posted January 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 How do you guys rate the bad r10? Quote Link to post
villaman 9,983 Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 Had two and both worked very well Quote Link to post
flynndog 543 Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) Scorpion over s410k but not s410classic. s410classic over r10 had a scorpion off Mac few years ago shot spot on had s410 at the same time scorpion shot better I've had 3 r10 a mk1 was useless mk2 .22 was inconsistent and a .177 supercarbine one that shot quite well I'd go for an s200 will h custom cylinder with gauge in and 10 shot kit on them little guns are always on my top 3 i love the s200 for the money you can get them at you'll get a full kit for scorpion or s400/410 gun and scope money Edited January 10, 2019 by flynndog 1 Quote Link to post
PLEDGEY 495 Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Had an S410 for 9 years now. It was second hand when I bought it. Left handed walnut stock. In all that time I have never cleaned the barrel once, just use napier pellet lube and It's as accurate to day as the day I got it. 1 Quote Link to post
Greyman 27,217 Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Think the AA 400 series is like the Morris minor of air guns you can get better,faster and more impressive, but if you just want a gun you can take out the cupboard put some air in and go shooting with no drama the 400,S win hands down, I,ve owned one for years, stuck an odd O ring in for penny,s and it’s never not been spot on even after a year or more in the cupboard Quote Link to post
philpot 4,954 Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 The 410 and the Scorpion have many followers so it is down to what feels right to you. I have not owned either but have shot both on a few occasions and whilst the 410 is a lovely gun, I far prefer the handling of the Scorpion. As Mitch said, you can get a reg for the Scorpion and then you really move up a gear. I know the 410 is a very difficult to have a reg fitted from what I have been told and not a job to undertake at home. If you prefer side lever cocking then as Si said the 510 is superb, no side lever cocking with any BSA. Good luck Phil Quote Link to post
