S410

[Its_grim_up_norf 577]

Just bought myself a nice new s410. whilst second hand also has its advantages, i was trading a rifle in so...seemed like the best option.

 

I was wondering how long 'bedding in' period would be..? should i spend the summer bedding it in with a few tins of pellets, ready for september when i start going out for rabbits again..? is it a really noticable innacuracy? Ive never had a brand new rifle before and this is my first PCP.

 

Thanks for any help.

hi there,i got myself a new s410 on sataday and set my scope up that day i used 2 mags and i was on the bullseye then i went out sunday and shot a woody so i would say if you doing your targets ok you should be fine,and out of all the rifles i have had this one seems the best one to get on with very light and easy to use and very acurate. atb bud with your hunting symon

thanks mate. I'd just heard a few people saying I will need to put around 1000 pellets through her before she gets on point. Yeah I've came from a tx200 so the weight is a big big drop. nearly threw the rifle over my head when i first lifted it up haha! atb with you're hunting as well mate, cheers for the reply.

The best thing to do is clean the barrel with a pull through ,then put about 40-50 pellets through to re lead it then zero in.

They come with factory grease in them .

ok mate. i can do this without taking the rifle totally to bits?

Yes you can mate . Just feed a pull through down the barrel pull out at magazine end ,spray some gun oil on 3 patches if .22 or 2 if .177, do this until the barrel is clean then do one with out oil .
