Hi to all fellow Air Gunners. I'm a newbie on the forums but quite an oldie in the Air Gunner's world so I thought I'd post a review of my new Sub 12lbs/ft Air Arms S410f Classic.177. I've only had the Rifle for a couple of days and I'm quite eager to get out to set the scope Zero an old 'Tasco Varmint 2.5X10 - 42mm being a hand me down off of my Theoben Rapid Mk2 FAC .22. We've all recently had the 1st snow where being a bit of a fine weather fisherman I declined to go out and field test the new baby. So what to do? I decided to attache my Combro chrony to the Weihrauch Silencer in doors and checkout a few pellet brands to get some idea of the combination of pellet/rifle consistency.

When I eventually get out of semi-hibernation I will next zero the scope in starting at 25yds on 4 different targets with 5 shots of each of the 4 pellet brands to check which brand(s) produce the tightest groups.

However prior to the scope zeroing here are the readings of each brand of pellet, using an old Tesco Direct Catalog as a dead backstop at 1 Meter close range. Any comments appreciated.
