AA400/410
Much better feel and fit with less fidling and more function.
Go for a bolt action..

Personally I too prefer the AA400.

Heres my hornet if you need to see what one looks like, http://photos.fotango.com/p/eba00472800f00000015.jpg

I made the mistake of getting a .22 version, but other than that it's a great gun ! ( "not that i tried any others", so this opinion dont count for S$&T ! ).

Get one of each

Nothing wrong with .22, but definately agree with the one of each idea.

ive had 2 hornets , sold the first because because i was working to much and didnt get time to go shooting , wish i had'nt , but ive got another one now ive also had a s400 which i sold to get the first hornet , both guns have nice stocks and nice chequering , and i like the loading of the hornet its easy and safe , you can load the gun without cocking it first , and the second version has a safety catch , and it can also be de-cocked if you dont want to take a shot , not many rifles can be de-cocked once there loaded and cocked ,
i also get around 50-60 good shots but have never really counted , but i fill up shoot about 10-15 on a practise range then do a hft shot which is 20 targets 2 shots at each , ( wish i could hit all the targets )
the air arms s400 is easier to use , but no safety at all ,the new ones have a saftey catch on the trigger , which you can get a s a retro fit , and its lighter , but when it gets into its sweet spot then its as accurate as any gun you can buy ,
basically its up to u , hope that helps

slightly of the original subject.
i heard the other day that there is a non carbine version of the hornet, which has a thumbhole stock, does anyone know if this is true or was it jibberish ?
( i like the idea of a thumbhole stock for my hornet ! )

[Darren Petts]

There is and always has been a rifle version. I've had mine now for 15 months. Not heard of the T/H though

Cheers Darren, just shows how little i know ! i'll still be looking into the t/h stock though.
