ryanod90 17 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Hi all Im in the market for a new air rifle and am looking at a new s410/s510 But think i swaying towards a s410. Im just wondering are these guns nice to shoot straight out of the box or would you say they need tuning. Resaon im asking is because when i was buying my tx200 it was between that or a 97kt. But the trend was to Tune the 97kt to have it up to the same preformance as the tx200 which was good out of the box. Hope to hear from you all soon. Ryan 1 Quote Link to post
bigmac 97kt 13,796 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 No need to tune a s410 or any pcp imo the s410 is a cracking rifle and one of the best out there but if your buying new just clean the barrel out as most new rifles have factory grease in them even the hw100 after that lead the barrel with your chosen pellet and in most cases do it again when you find the pellet the rifle likes not you lol have fun and stay safe with what ever you buy atvbmac :thumbs: PS a tx200 is out of this world out of the box but a tune,d and polished 97 is out of the universe no comparison what so ever a tune,d 97 all day long i should no iv had plenty lol Quote Link to post

jocky 198 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 both my 177 and 22 shot perfect from new, but do like mac said and clean the barrel. i use aa field pellets in both guns, and can pick drawing pins off with them. the sweet spot on them is around 165 bar on my guns 1 Quote Link to post

mark williams 7,558 Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Take a very close look at the BSA Ultra SE and my babies HW 100`S - absolutely lethal to small game/ vermin. Good luck with your choice. 1 Quote Link to post
villaman 9,983 Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 S410 great guns but why dont AA put regs in them and get rid of the power curve 1 Quote Link to post
Rez 4,961 Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 410 is, for me, the one that go away, never had one, had an early S300 serial 069 when they first came out in the mid 90's and f**k me that was epic. I personally would look, as mark says, around the S510's, and probably would get one if they did a carbine version. A carbine 510 with shroud Quote Link to post
