Which Gun To Buy

[WAKEY HUNTER 2]

Hi everyone. Been a shotgunner for 15 years on a pheasant shoot in Warwickshire. Moved back to wakefield, yorkshire and want to get into air rifles again. Question is what to get. Have been looking at reviews and have come up with these. All comments welcome.

 

Daystate regal

bsa r10 mk2

air arms s410/510

 

if there is anyone in the area wanting a friend to shoot with give us a holla.

aye up

 

out of those three I would go for the air arms as I have one myself and is very accurate and reliable , but why limit your self to them what about the hw 100 or the bsa ultra both very good , I would steer clear of the regal I believe some lads on this forum have had issues with them.

Out of them 3 i would say s410.

 

Add hw100 to your list mate....

[harryvardon 1]

Yes, surprised the HW100 wasn't on top! There are a number of excellent examples for sale around £550 second hand; some with a variety of extras.

[Flipper_Al 1,012]

Couple of very nice HW100's for sale on the Weihrach groups on Facebook....

Defo hw100

[PJWmids 35]

Bsa r10 mk2, but I'm biased as I own one lol

[J_Edwards 70]

I'd lean towards the S410. Cough, I'm in Doncaster and selling one ;D

 

HW100s are good, but they're that extra price bracket up, and paying that much for a sub 12ft/Ib airgun just doesn't sit well with me.

[Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701]

I would rather buy a pretty fairly priced hw100 than an overpriced daystate......

Havent had any trouble with my r-10, used my mates regal the other day and that was lovely aswell,

Pretty difficult to go wrong with any of them just depends which you like the feel of etc

[Skut_monkey 7]

I'd say S410 as well, mine was fantastic

[silentshot1 206]

Bsa r10 mk2, but I'm biased as I own one lol

 

I'm with the brains! I have both Mk I and Mk II R10's and they are both cracking guns. I've had an HW100 (hated the side lever) and have an S410 (amazing accuracy but a bit too light for me). Not ha a Daystate but wouldn't mind a Huntsman on looks alone, but for me the R10's are keepers.

I was expecting to see Ultra and HW100 in that list.

 

I have no experience with HW100, but the Ultra was a really good rifle. I had an Ultra for a while. At the time it was not what I wanted, so sold it. I am slightly regretting that decision, to be fair. But having too much fun to dwell on that.

 

Personally, I'd decide what I wanted to go for. Is it the fieldcraft skill element? High volume kills? Is it targets? Is it Live Quarry? Ratting? Rabbits? Indoors (e.g. ratting)? Outdoors (e.g. rabbits)? Professional Pest Control? Just a bit of fun? Or what? Then I'd work my gun choice around that.

Had a regal and a r10 ,regal , nice looking but over priced crap and I mean that ,r10 nice gun but found not to be a very pointable gun imo . I have two hw100kts ,.22 ,.177 by far beater guns than the other two , I all so have a ultra m/s .177 regged by xtx air and that will match any top Daystate gun any day and I mean that to
