Air Arms S410 Classic Vs. S510?
Posted: Tue Jun 09, 2009 11:56 am
Yet more investigating...this time for my dad as he's seen the light of PCP for serious hunting work. Also I must admit to being tempted by one of the above myself.
I've always liked the looks of the S410 in walnut, even when buying my HW100 it came close...but now I'm looking into them as a serious contender to replace my HW100 as I don't seem to be getting on with it that well as I find the balance to far forward (some you win some you lose - I like a well balanced rifle and got on very well with my heavier HW90k) and also my dad is looking into a PCP to replace his HW80.
What I'd like to know, from those who have used either / both: is there much difference between the S410 and S510? I know the 510 has the side lever cocking as the FAC 410 and HW100 have, but is that really all the difference is? They are both stunning looking rifles (IMO) and priced similarly if buying new. Whats the weight and balance like to use in the field with a scope?
Thaughts and advice would be most welcome
