BenjaminCadd 109 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Whilst the HW97 will always be my first choice rifle, the vermin has picked up around the farm mainly rats and crows / rooks, so its more of a must than a hobby, im looking for a work horse rifle that will get a few knocks being used in trucks and around the farm. Personally i have yet to handle a PCP let alone shoot one so my knowledge is next to none, but reading reviews i like the following rifles: BSA Ultra Multishot but will it be to small..... im 6ft 6", saying that is it the best value for money? S400 / S410 looks like my favorite at the moment? HW100 never seen a bad review... is it worth the extra £100s? R10 looks great and has the best shot count? Thats my list but as i said i have never used one of them so advice would be great! Many thanks. Quote Link to post
Will 1994 5 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Theoben rapid absolute tanks and will definitely be up for the task and a very healthy shot count , getting quite rare now though regards will 1 Quote Link to post
Craig Fosse 286 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 He ultra and s200 are small rifles I'm 5 7 and its great, I'd head down the line of the 409 mate, cracking rifle, never fired the 100 so wouldn't wanna comment but they do sound good! Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Try a BSA Super 10, BBC are nice looking.... The HW100 are great, superbly accurate, if you need over 90 (.22 carbine) shots buy a 3 litre air bottle! Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 can highly reccomend an s410k if i get another pcp it will probably be a hw100kt tho. Quote Link to post
BenjaminCadd 109 Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Yeah i think s410 is looking the best option at the moment but i do like the S10, R10 and HW100 aswell and the build quality of the HW97 makes me think it might be worth waiting for the HW100. Quote Link to post
risingfriend 1,042 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 hi mate you wont go far wrong with any of the rifles you shortlisted the ultra are superguns in small proprortions but as accurate as any high end pcps, i have owned 3 hw100 and currently have an hw100kt and its a keeper for certain you could get the full length hw100, reliable as anything and built to last, my brother and a few mates have r10 and are all deadly accurate and good shot counts. value for money gotta be aa or ultra, but for me i would get the hw100 mate but your choice though try and shoulder all if you can though, ATB Aaron 1 Quote Link to post
villaman 9,983 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Hi mate I have a BSA Ultra .177 ,BSA R10 .177 and HW100KT .22 and like Aaron said value for money has got to be BSA Ultra IMO,its a fantastic accurate gun and if you have a regged one its even better. The R10 is great to shoot as well and a lovely looking gun with about 165 shots. HW100KT well what can I say Just the best all round gun of the three . Best silencer , two magazines , cocking is great and build quality is better than the other Two. My shooting partner has a AA S 410 and its very good but the finish isn't that good .He also got a Daystate Huntsman once again what a lovely gun to shoot and good looking but the bolt on them is not the best. This is IMO other people might say different ATB , Mitch Quote Link to post
The one 8,474 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I really rate my air arms s300 but its only a single shot ive thought about a conversion but never went threw with it yet Quote Link to post
ftm 3,357 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 rapid 7 all day long mate -bomb proof & deadly Quote Link to post
Halfinch 51 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 All the guns you mention will do the job very well, But my personal preference would be for the HW100, mine gets used in all weathers, takes a few knocks, but stands up to it all Brilliantly, Never had a problem with it in 4yrs. Probably best to try the ones you like in your RFD, and feel what suits you best. Quote Link to post
BenjaminCadd 109 Posted April 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Thanks , yeah i guess that's the next step to shoulder them and see which is best suited, but the HW100 seems likely. Many thanks. Quote Link to post
Fidgety 8 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 AA S410 in .177 all day every day Quote Link to post
