A Shamal was my first PCP air gun (Which I bought off you Steve not too long ago). My Grandfather has a nice .22 S400 classic. Which got me into airguns many years ago.

So far I think it is great! I put the scope off my Park RH93 onto it and I was amazed by the accuracy (I was using a cheap tin of .177 BSA Elites).

It is a bit heavier than what I am used to with the scope on, though not as heavy as the Park!

I did find out that it was in a Tennants auction back in 2011/2012. It did not sell but what it did have was a brass prototype magazine made by someone in Hull (cant remember the name). I wonder where that got to?

Having used both the Shamal and the S400 I would say the S400 is the better of the two, but with it being Air Arms first PCP, they sure as hell did a good job!
