Product: Air Arms S500 Xtra FAC Sidelever PCP Air Rifle
Review entered on 2011-06-01 12:02:19Things I liked:Great looking. Smooth action. Easy to operate and adjust. Extremely accurate.
Things I would have changed:Power adjustment knob needs positive clicks rather than free spinning. Adjustable butt-pad.
What others should know:This is one magnificent air rifle and is .22 caliber. I have been extremely impressed. Both Air Arms fields plus 5.52 and JSB heavies 18.1 grain work very well with the JSB grouping a tiny bit better at greater distances (70+ yards and up). After learning the rifle and finding the right pellet/barrel match, I have been able to make 5 shot groups of 1 inch at 103 yards. I have even made some 3/4 inch groups at that distance. A 20 shot group at that distance was slightly under 1 1/2 inches. This was using a rest. It has a sweet spot of 175 bar down to around 120 bar. This results in 25 consistent shots. Although you can fill to 200 bar and shoot down to 110 bar and get many more shots, which will be accurate at closer distances (50 yards and closer).

Things I would have changed:It's a tad heavy, but that is what provides it's stability.
What others should know:Although it's not necessary, a tune job has made mine nearly silent and exceptionally smooth and consistent. A tune is easy to do yourself and could be a simple relube, or a replacement of the stock seal and spring. The factory parts are great, but I just wanted that bit of edge. This thing is simple to take apart and maintain. Air Arms field, both 4.51, and 4.52 work awesome in this rifle. CPL domed work good as well. Get a tin or so through it and watch it become extremely accurate and consistent.
