Hot5hot 0 Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Hey guys and gals, This is my first topic start, but have posted before. Wanted to say hello and ask what you all thought. I have the AA S410 carbine, and I love the gun, I have never had any problems, and I would never get rid of it. That being said, I want another rifle, purely because I want one, not because I need one What do you reccomend I look at? I quite fancy the tactical look for my second one. I have thought about the Stealth but not sure I want to go back to a single shot. I also like the Edgar Brothers XVi, I have read about the downfalls of the S16 though. Any comments, thoughts of any others to look at. I will sort some pics out and a sig when I stop doing so much overtime at work. Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 I quite fancy the EB XVI as well. Hatsan (the manufacturers) have supposed to have changed the internals completely now to what the S16 was and they have apparently sorted all the problems out We'll find out from people if they have or not, but I'd deffinately give it a go. For a second Rifle why not go back to basics and get a springer? Phantom Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Get your self a good springer as a backup gun, it will improve your PCP shooting no end Quote Link to post
Hot5hot 0 Posted August 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Getting a springer just feels like a step backwards. It might improve my shooting, but not sure I want to take that step. What springer would be one to look at? I am swaying toward the EB though. Quote Link to post

Nah, not a step backwards at all honestly, reminds you of how easy the pcp's are and how lazy you become after using a PCP And really, raises your skill level Although I rarely take my springer out now, its fantastic when I do get round to it, sharpens me up no end If your looking for a high end springer the HW's and the AA's are superb Phantom Quote Link to post
johnboy19 38 Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Thats funny you should all say this, i was thinking the exact same thing today, i want a new gun, and i want a springer. Ive decided im going to get one, will take a while to save for it but i want one, and ive decided on a .177 TX200, something to look forward to Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 A very nice choice in springer John. You won't regret it Phantom Quote Link to post

You won't regret it Phantom Yeh my uncle has that exact rifle, had a shot of it a few times, really like the look of the TX200HC. Had the PCP for about 4 or 5 months now but really fancy going back to the basics of shooting a springer Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 I have a HW77, had it years, dont want to part with it, very accurate, good for plinking because you never run out of air Quote Link to post
Hot5hot 0 Posted August 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 I will be going out with a mate in the next week or so, I will have a few shots of his AA springer. See how I get on. I need to get out more really. Quote Link to post
apperknowle 3 Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 I recommend the Cometa 300 as a good hunting springer, spot on all the time Quote Link to post
pest hunter 151 15 Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Hi lads i have a EB XVI in .22 I like the gun but its not as good as my ultra or Tx but is better than my gamo and xl. so id tell you to get A good springer as said above. Quote Link to post
Hot5hot 0 Posted August 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 The HW97K looks like a nice rifle Quote Link to post
zini 1,939 Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 The HW97K is a brilliant rifle mate Si Quote Link to post
jackinbox99 41 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Hmm.. ive a s410 carbine too, but unless i had problems with it i wouldnt swap it. How about spending the cash on a regulator or some extras for your s410? Quote Link to post
