Halloween Boinger Bash, 28th/29th October --- Event and Payment Details

[NewPaul]

I've just had a good plink with the new S510. I've had to up the ante a bit with this one. grapes and cherry tomatoes always make for good plinking fun with the springers at 25 yards but with the pcp I think I'm going to have to resort to peas to increase the challenge!!!

At 25yds with a S510 you should be able to hit peas all day long Mike. Lovely rifle mate

Cheers mate. I'm amazed at the accuracy to be honest. Having not used a pcp before other than a go with Daves TDR at the bash it took me by surprise a bit. Once I have a bit of spare time I'm going to shoot over to the HFT club in Rye and have a crack. Also the guy I work with has a friend with some land which sounds like it might be possible to obtain a permission on.

That would be great if you could get a permission Mike I've got the S410 in .177 and I love it, I think it's just the cocking lever that is different on the S510.

I believe that is the only difference. I really fancied one but couldn't really justify it. I popped into CH Weston in Brighton the other Sunday and they had a cracking used one for a good price. What sort of power is yours putting out? Mines at around the 10.6 ft lb mark at the moment which if I understand correctly is pretty much the norm these days for an AA pcp. I don't feel its worth tinkering with to up it anymore really.

Mine is in excellent condition but I had a little issue with it when I first got it secondhand, long story short, the anti tamper was removed and it was left shooting at 6.5 fpe. Got it sorted now and it's running at 11.4 fpe. I do like the cocking lever on the 510, it's similar to the HW100 which I think is superb. 10.6fpe is fine Mike, another 1fpe isn't going to make a marked difference, what calibre is yours ?

I went for the .177 in the end with the HFT etc in mind. I'm a bit torn with calibres to be honest. I've had great fun plinking with the HW35 in .22 and the HW77 also in .22. Need a good selection I reckon

Trumpetier always says .22 for springers and .177 for pcp and I must say, I agree with that. And..... yes, a good selection is also the 'right answer'
