shaun sale 0 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 i would go for 245 ft/lbs every time .17HMR 150yards range and still hits at over 100 ft/lbs Airgun hunting need to be within 20yards ideally - for a good respectful kill ATB well if ur trying to make yourself look big in the airgun section with your 17hmr thats all very well but it looks like a gat gun compared with my 300 win mag .

j davies 8 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Not sure if i can take it back to a shop as i bought it from a member on here in good faith and was a decent fella, and the gun has been treated well and is in fantastic condition. i got 2 s400 mate dont like any of them read about them for over 6 months and got them now i wish i never did want to sell them they say they are cheap air guns well at 400 quid i dont think so air arms need to sort this out lots of people have trouble with them.

I haven't heard of many problems with them either. A few have been down on power, but that's usually easily sorted out by the dealer. Quote Link to post
spike25blue 55 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 hi there bud i would either get it to a shop or contact AA and see what they have to say and contact the guy on here that you bought it off to see if he still has the receipt my RFD said to me the other day that a lot of guns are being sent out underpower from many manufacturer's atb rob Quote Link to post
shaun sale 0 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 spike and maltenby spot on some guns do come under power from the factory afew makes are well know for it .but in generl its not air arms. like what has been stated jus return to the shop where you bought it and they will sort it.
