Having fired a MFR belonging to a a friend of mine and owning two S410K but not thumbhole stocks.
Why change?
I would get one and keep the S410.

I wan't to get a Theoben MFR, To get one I'll probably have to P/X my lovely AAS410 Thumbhole which is very accurate and relaible. Were talking purely .177 here. I'm worried if I get the MFR I'll be dissapointed and would have lost my baby (AAS410) Bench rested I can get 1/2 inch groups at 50 yards. It wouldn't be used for hunting really, So another question is would an MFR be a waste ? Opinions please, Cheers

I know, I'm sad, Just fell in love with the MFR when I had a go. Bit of spare cash,Might get something cheaper,Like a new brain !
I have a Rapid 17 and a Air Arms 400 in .22
Both very accurate guns.
Why change guns if they work well
Looks and feel do not always match accuracy and known comfort![]()
The thought of giving this Goverment more VAT on a New gun is good enough reason for me not to change![]()

Don't think you'll be disappointed, mine is accurate at 70 yards![]()
This is shooting at paper, I'm not suggesting that it is an acceptable range for hunting!

Tigger C, Is that 12fpp and in .177 ?
Yes, 12ftlbs, and .177I'm waiting to be told Rapid barrels are cr-p ( not by you, but a few others on here!)

Chris.
ps. But I did have a S410 that was stunningly accurate too.
Tigger, Thanks, I also know what you mean. A lot of people seem to have a hatred of Theobens for no apparent reason ?
They must be jealous eh?I love mine anyway. I fitted a Simmons 6-18x40 and use it for hunting and HFT. The perfect tool for both. BTW Theoben are very approachable and helpful these days.

Very True, Quiet aint it ?

So Kev G are you saying S-10 is a more reliable rifle ?
nope not at all,to me a s10 is a poor copy of a fantastic gun(the rapid)its just that BSA barrels tend to shoot any thing you put in them.the rapid is the only gun i use so i aint slaging it of,ive used and owned most but the rapid is the daddy imo.Originally posted by The Birdman
