Air Arms S200 Beech

[Daniel Emsley]

AIR ARMS S200 BEECH how much could i pick one of these up for second hand there only £240 new so im guessing its a good cheep pcp?

[Hollowpoint]

Ive seen a couple in the sales section recently around the £170 mark but ive seen them go for as little as £150

[FRENCHI]

The best budget pcp money can buy in my opinion......The price's vary as people add bits & bobs e,t,c, To be fair i am a bit modest about em but they do hold there money very well. I Think you could expect to pay around £150 > £160 with no mods or extras, I'm sure others will agree, People usually work to a 60 % ish rule on ere but i think the s200 tops that....Hope this help's

[Daniel Emsley]

so its a good little rifle then is it better than the BSA ultra that seems to be about the same?

[FRENCHI]

I carnt really say because i've never owned one or fired one. But honestly the s200 is a great pcp ......

The Ultra will only give you 35 shots in .177, (the S200 will just get round a 40 shot target course, but the Ultra won't.) It has to be filled to 230bar, which makes pumping harder. We have a club bottle, which we only refill at 160bar, which is fine for the S200.The Ultra shooters are always moaning about this. Some juniors and ladies find the cocking mech a bit hard. The magazine version is slow to cycle. Lots of people like the Ultra, but I personally prefer the S200.

And with a bit of tuning you can get 5-10 extra shots out of an S200 (and they are quite easy to tune).

They're great little rifles and I regret selling mine (and that was in .22)

[MattLin]

I've had both in .22
Both great guns, its realy down to what suits you better, even though there is some pros and cons..
The Ultra has a better trigger IMHO and the finish/build quality of it is re-assuringly solid.
But as said, the S200 gets quite a few more shots.

Maybe its worth considering a BSA Scorpion?

[Daniel Emsley]

i have a springer and like it PCP i had a few shots of my mate hornet but to be honest there is no effort in shooting its just point click hit thats y i just want a cheep one for hunting as they are quite thats the main reason and cheep the scorpion is quite a bit dearer. (how much is an air reserver for this rifle it can be capt full separate from the rifle can it ? if so how much and is it worth having a spare for long hunting trips ?)
