Should I buy an Air Arms S410

[luckymjr]

Hi guys.

I'll soon be looking to buy my second PCP and I quite like the look of the Air Arms S410. I know this rifle has been around for many years, but I've never actually owned one before and don't really know much about them. My current PCP Is a legal limit 177 HW100s, but my next pcp will be a 22.

My budget will be approximately £700, so any advice or recommendations will be greatly appreciated. I'm just after an accurate reliable rifle that won't keep leaking air all the time.

Thanks lads 🤔

you wont go wrong with one
I like mine that much I bought another
very accurate once you find the pellets it likes put a good scope on it and it will hit what you aim at

your hw 100 take it to the airgun doctor in Cannock .mine leaked to empty overnight it was fully serviced and a problem found --sorted fixed and done while I waited -never had a problem in 2 yrs ---don't remove the air bottle its the most common cause of leaks

Yep go for it. The only leak you are likely to get is easily fixed.
Doubt if you will get anyone who does not like it.

I preferred mine over the HW 100 more accurate more shots per fill. you should be able to pick a very nice one for £400
and very rarely go wrong

I bought my HW100s brand new back In January 2013 and the rifle has never leaked once. Plus I've never had It serviced either. An absolute bullet proof gun In my opinion. And like you said, I've never removed the air bottle or tampered with anything. If It ain't broke, then don't fix It. That's my motto. And the proofs In the pudding 👍

I would definitely NOT use the airgun doctor. I sent mine for a full strip, clean and seal. It came back broken. Another stripped and found the action full of crap from HFT comps that should have been cleaned and relubed. No refund offered. Strongly suggest you need to think about this Doctor....

Excellent rifles, but YOU are the only person who can decide if it's the correct item for hold, balance & general feel.

Personally I prefer the s510 both for the shrouded barrel & sidelever, I'd also consider the BSA Scorpion.

Had both. Still have the 100. Overall a much better gun

But there are many reasons that influence taste and reasons why.

I teach with 400 and even complete novices notice how much better the 100 is.

I’m considering a 410 .177 in left hand format for target use at a local club but the HW100 is always there at the back of my mind for serious consideration.
The latter was used as club guns at my last Airgun club in South Yorks although I never used them.
I don’t believe the cocking lever can be converted for left hand use on the Weihrauch although I understand it can be on the recent HW110 ?
I assume the cocking bolt on the 410 can be switched over, is this correct ?

If you can, go far a Walnut sticked Carbine - every bit as accurate as the full length version, few less shot but plenty for the vast majority of scenarios - it's quite hard to explain just how good these rifles are for hunting. Used 2 for over 7 years in a semi pro vermin control enviroment and they never, ever, let me down.

I've had both the S410 and the HW100 and for me the latter is the better rifle. The S410 was very accurate, and reliable, but I disliked the bolt action nature of the loading compared to the German counterpart. For me, the HW100 is much easier to index and reload pellets into the simplest magazine of all.

i've had hw100's in .22 & .177
also had a couple of s410's in .22 & .177 in the past.

i wanted to get something in .177,i ended up with 2 hw100k's in .22,i traded in one of my hw100K's for an airarms s410F carbine,wanut thumbhole, in .177,i had a pre anti tamper one of these, sold it to a mate of mine about 5 years ago,i tried to buy it back off him, but he won't sell it.so i purchased a new one, it's a very capable hunting rifle,i'm please with mine,
i do like the mag's & side lever on the hw100
nothing wrong with the loading bolt on the s410,take's a bit of getting used to.

the airarms s410 is more expensive than the hw100,it come's with one 10 shot magazine, the silencer is an optional extra.
where as the hw100 come's with two 14 shot magazines & a silencer.

I’m in a similar position to you and looking for a PCP around the £700 mark. Unfortunately, my budget keeps on creeping up so now as well as the S410/510, I’m also looking at the Brocock Compatto Sniper XR for around £850. It may be worth a look.
