Air Arms S410 Sidelever, Walnut Stock

I got this gun in .177 RH and I'm loving it. It's so quite that the people next door don't even know when I'm shooting. The Sparrows and Starlings have all but disappeared. (one shot, one kill)

I'm going to keep this one "AS IS"!!!!

This will be the gun that will be passed down, when I'm gone.

I purchased the .22 caliber rifle in walnut and it is gorgeous. Workmanship is beautiful and the gun is supremely accurate. 1/4 inch groups at 45 yards no problem. The bluing on this gun is better than my Weatherby MK V. Also, I would like to thank Gene in the tech department. I had an issue with a defective S410 initially and Gene got involved and took the time to make sure the replacement gun was perfect in every way. Kudos Gene!

The power adjustment on this gun is very useful. Not only does it give you a range from 14 to 36 ft lbs, which takes you from backyard plinking up to small game hunting at the twist of a dial, but once you do some chrony testing it is possible to get some really long shot strings at level well above that of a magnum spinger (25 or so ft lbs) by starting at half power and adjusting upward at predetermined points. Also, JSB heavies are the perfect fodder for this gun. Heavy enough to withstand some wind and light without drifting but light enough to easlity nail targets accurately out to 110 yards and beyond.

 the AirArms S410 FAC. Is a superbly crafted rifle. Every component of this gun is flawless. from the ergonomic stock, to the rugged and reliable action, to the overall fit and finish. This gun is cocked using a side lever action which I find to be a improvement over the traditional bolt action. The outstanding accuracy obtained with this gun is really impressive. I am getting 1/2" fifty yard groups that opened up to 1" at 100 yards. It is a dream to shoot. The rifle is spitting out pellets at a avg. velocities of 915 fps, using the JSB 18gr pellets packing a walloping 33ft/lbs. The shrouded barrel is very quiet. AA S410 FAC is one of the finest PCPs available superb accuracy excellent trigger and beautiful.  

can’t find anything lacking or wanting for improvement with this gun.

Buy a extra magazine and lots of pellets you will shot through them faster then you think. 

I have been putting off this review along with several others for too long, as I have had too many guns to write reviews on recently. This however, is probably the most important of my collection, and deserves the time to review. Other owners should consider this as it is vital to "potential" buyers of this gun for us to express or opinions on this incredible rifle! I opted for the S410 Sidelever .22. Like my 2 other Air Arms guns, the fit and finish on this gun are EXCEPTIONAL! Visually, this gun is stunning. It looks like a true .22 rimfire rifle. Upon receiver this gun I chose the Leapers 8-32x56 AO IR scope. I bought the best scope I could afford for this rifle, considering at the time it was the most expensive rifle I owned. I am very happy with the Leapers scope on this gun. It is a great combination. The initial inspection of course was typical Air Arms, and flawless! I zero'd in my scope in my backyard at 25 yards, and literally took less than 10 shots to achieve. This gun is simply incredible to shoot. It is so comfortable and light, I think this is one of the rare higher end rifles than even a beginner can get used very quickly! The clip slides in effortlessly. The cocking arms indexes and loads the next pellet with such ease, it is truly amazing, and I had to make sure I indeed load a pellet into the breech the first few times. I couldn't believe the first few shots, there is NO recoil, and the sound virtually silent. It's more like a puff than a bang....

The only thing I could possibly think of is a little bit shorter barrel. But, that is just nit picking, because you can just buy the carbine version if you want shorter....

This is definitely not for everyone financially, but for those that are on the fence and are considering this, but are having a hard time justifying the price, STOP! Buy this gun! Once you own it, you will be proud you own it, and never look back at the price paid again. You will love to show this to family and friends and let them shoot it. It is one of those purchases you can enjoy anytime. It is so much fun to bring out on a nice sunny day and set up a bench outside with some cold drinks and shoot all day. I find people wanting to shoot this more and more once you put it in their hands one time. This is the toy that people ask you to bring out when visiting. It has surprising power, number of shots, and accuracy is incredible. Like others have said concerning particular guns, this is one that will probably outshoot me for a long time to come. You can learn a lot from a gun like this, with potential to make you a better shooter for a lifetime.
Buy this, enjoy, share it with people you enjoy being around, invite your neighbor over to shoot it. This is the gun that inspires people to want to get into arigunning over again or for the first time. You will definitely recruit new users into this awesome hobby with this gun, and bring family and friends closer. However, you will NEVER want to lend it out. It becomes part of your personality, that you just can't part with. Save up if you have to. Build a nice backyard, "safe" range, stock up on pellets and targets

I just got the S410 in .22 caliber with the beech stock not even a month ago and it's already turned into my favorite to shoot. It performs wonderfully whether it was targets, plinking, or some small game/verminting. A beautiful designed stock. The entire gun shows quality and excellent build. Extreme accuracy, easy to use side lever. Very quiet, neighbors will never complain!

Seems to be fairly accepting with a variety of pellets. Power adjustment goes from mid 900's to the mid 350's. 30-40 shots at high or near high before significant drop.
