s410 classic vs carbine

[coatesjamie1998]

i bought a s410 classic about a year ago and had to sell because i needed the money. i loved it while i had it and really had no complaints whatsoever. im now in the position where i can buy a new air rifle but am not sure what to get. as i said the s410 classic was great and i dont want to ge a worse gun than that. there seem to be a lot of s410 carbines on the market but was not sure if the shorter barrel would make it less accurate than the classic. i was very proud of my standing shot capabilities and the carbine being shorter should make it lighter and therefore easier to shoot accurately from standing but if it is a lot less accurate than the classic then im not sure i want it. has anyone compared the two?

As far as I know (from reading previous threads) there is no difference in accuracy between the two. I have a carbine and find it highly accurate.

Hi

I had a similar dilema over a year ago
Tried both --- bought both and after a month sold the carbine
i just felt it was better with the classic
but not a lot in it

Its personal preference i guess

more shots with the classic

I tried both but i bought the carbine, nothing between them from a bench but my standers are better with the carbine.
Best to try both if you can.

I agree accuracy wise there is nothing in it, I would say if your a Hunter go with the Carbine, easier to manouver. If your a target shooter go for the Classic with the higher shot count.

Good advice

I am lucky having both, a aa400 in ginb stock with fac cylinder very long very heavy and super accurate, and just put together a .177 carbine in a leftie stock, only trialed in restricted garden range of 7m max , very impressed with it so far, going to try it out on our ft range at local club, its a lot lighter and more handlable, but got to see what its like over longer ranges

Hi,
I owned both a while back,and in my case I found the carbine to be slightly more accurate than the classic.When fired the carbines action was noticeably louder,but with HW silencers on,muzzle noise was about the same.
From memory I got about 56 shots from the carbine(15 fps spread) to the classics 80-odd.
HTH,
Chris.

wierd thing is with my converted classic to carbine I am getting 70 plus full power shots in .177, dont think it has a reg but I do seem to be getting very good results from it

we are talking about 4" more and 20 more pellets

ive got a classic ,carbine ,and the tdr and there is nothing between all 3 for me , i find the thumbhole stock looks much better on the carbine than the classic though ,and i play more with both carbine and tdr( even with the poor shot count )than i do with the classic
