Guest air gunner Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Hi if i were to buy an air arms s200 would it be a gun for life? what i want is to buy a rifle that i can rely on i dont want to think after a year that i want to change for some reason like it needs to be refilled every 20 shots or parts need replacing every 4 months of heavy use. any suggestions? also are they multi shot? the one im looking at has a Simmons ProAir 3-9x40 scope any good? any info on this particular rifle would be much appreciated.

jamiethehunter 0 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I've had my mk11 s200 for years and i wouldn't change it for anything swap the plastic trigger and bolt for a brass one and it's a really nice gun. Quote Link to post
Guest air gunner Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 How many shots does yours do before a re-fill? what is required in cleaning such a gun? i have only used a springer. is yours multi shot? also is £350 a good price for a new one with the scope mentioned above? i have to say the stock doesent look too good but thats doesent bother me really.

Deker 3,478 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Times are changing and life moves on, there is nothing wrong with the 200 but I don't see it as the gun to buy today for life! You need to consider a multishot for sure in my opinion! Quote Link to post

mad al 146 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I've just been advertising one with the 10-shot conversion Quote Link to post
Guest air gunner Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 im not loaded so if it is functional then it is good. and yup multi shot does seem ideal. Quote Link to post

Nice one J, the S200 is the most under rated air rifle on the planet, talk about value and reliability for half the cost of the S410 and you're just about there Quote Link to post
Guest air gunner Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Mad al is your gun still being advertised? how much were you asking? jamie the hunter 40 shots doesent seem much that wouldnt last me long at my friends house he lives a million miles from anywhere so if i went hunting there as i do often i would run out too early meaning a long drive to the closest gun shop 40 mins away. and diving bottles are not cheap neither are pumps? how many shots does a single shot aas200 give?

Guest air gunner Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) how much does a pump cost? and are they reliable? £175 for a good pump from a quick google. £525 over all. Edited January 25, 2009 by air gunner Quote Link to post
jamiethehunter 0 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 It will be a very rare occasion if you use 40 shots in a hunting session and if your going for a pcp you need to include charging gear in your budget pumps start at around a hundred quid Quote Link to post

You disagree that a multishot is the way to go but talk about a 200 with a multishot conversion Quote Link to post
Guest air gunner Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 the thing is i stay at my friends for weeks at a time and we also like to feck about in his really long corridor/ zeroing range so 40 is not ideal is it possible to get upgrades to cope with more shots? anyone ever used the gun shop/smith Ben taylor and sons? he is local to me never been there because he only deals with pcps and not springers.
