Page 3 - Air Arms S510 XS Xtra FAC Sidelever Reviews

This is for those who're not willing to invest time in shooting a springer. Perfect for hunting with surgical accuracy. My .22 took out a rock dove at laser-ranged 47 yds, and the dropped bird was an ugly mess! Highly recommended!

More space in the front for scope install. My Sidewinder 30 Tactical is pushed all way to the front for eye relief. I'd also lke to get a .177 in Carbine!!

You won't regret! PA shipped it without calling me, like they always do. I had to spend more money buying a scope mount from someone else!, since PA wouldn't add the item to my order. I emailed them about the mount, yet was told the next day they don't check emails, and that I should left a voice mail...

Just about everything.

I personally dont like the the safety.It is mounted on the trigger blade which could cause safety issues having to touch the trigger to engage or disengage it.But for what you get that is mere nit picking.

I recieved mine on 2/3/10.I wish I would have ordered it on Feb the 1st on a monday the day it went on sale.But I ordered it on a FridayJan29th.I could have saved $150 plus.But with that said I still would have baught this gun anyway thanks to this review page and others.Back to the gun.This is a sweet shooter.I have shot the Theoben Rapid and as far as accuracy goes It hangs with it if not better.I sighted this gun in at 1/4 inch high at 20 paces.Using a 4x16x50 leapers scope.After that I set up 3 one inch circle targets stuck to a cardboard box at a measured 50 yards. I could not believe my eyes,the first shot went dead center bullseye.The second shot hit the first shot.I shot ten shot groups at each one of these targets and each group was under a 1/2 inch.All thirty shots went into the one inch circles.The gun was pumped up to 180 bar(Whatever that comes to in LBS. of air).And shot at full power using JSB exacts 16 grain.So the advertising dont lie you get 30 plussssss rounds with a full charged and the neighbors dont here you.The one I got is the 22cal.and has the beech stock.It is a beautiful gun and the blueing is awesom.Seeing and firing this gun is believing.If you have the money to get this gun,DO NOT HESITATE ANY LONGER BUY IT! You will never part with it.

I like everything , it is quite powerfull not heavy compared to other rifles, and accuracy is superb at any distance , and best of all no recoil as with all PCPs this is the best rifle that I have so far it's a keeper , too many things to name is a great gun very well done Air Arms .

I can't really think of changing anything but just to my liking a do would change the way rifle is filled , instead of using the adapter that comes with rifle from factory it woul be nice to just use a male foster quick connect fitting just like the Discovery and many other PCP rifles use , but the way is filled it's ok,

get a scuba tank it makes refilling the rifle a lot easier than using a hand pump.

Innovative design. It's very comfortable and looks great in every way.

For a gun that cost more than my hunting rifle, they could have made a better safety switch. A better safety mechanism is a must.

I bought two of these guns and had to return them both. The first one had to be re-zero every time I refilled the tank. Once re-zeroed again, the accuracy of the gun is unbelievable. Zeroing the gun every time the tank fills isn't cool so I sent it back. The second gun was unbelievable. I've never seen anything that accurate before but had to send it back because too much air was coming out each time it fired. It was filled to 200 bar and it takes only 10 rounds at high power to bring it down to 150 bar. So total shots were about 20 shots from 200 bar to 100 bar. The first gun was able to shoot 55 rounds before reaching the 100 bar. I wouldn't shoot at anything if below 100 bars. Save your pellets and refill the tank. If the product is exceptional, you shouldn't have to order the 10 for 10 review on the gun to avoid getting a lemon. I would've gave this gun a five star but it didn't work right for me.

This rifle has everything. Its very accurate if you do your part you will get 1 hole groups at 50 yards.

Not a thing, for what this rifle can do for the price its perfect !!!

For the best results I recommend the .22 caliber. On full power the rifle averages 832fps with Beeman Kodiaks at 32.4ft/lbs. 945fps with JSB Exacts at 31.5ft/lbs. And 976fps with Crossman Premiers at30.3ft/lbs. If you are a avid airgunner this rifle is a must have to your collection.

The classic hunting rifle look, with a beautiful right-hand walnut stock with rosewood schnabel, and modest checkering. The smooth sidelever cocking system makes it easy for anyone to advance through the 10-shot rotary magazine and get better then 1" groups at 50 yards. I also like the shrouded barrel...keeps it quiet.

I am hard-pressed to find anything I would change on this rifle.

With its adjustable power, you get the best of both worlds--an awesome hunting rifle on high power and a target rifle when the power is dialed down. You can expect to get up to 40 shoots with a full charge. Rifle comes in both right- and left-hand models with your choice of beech or walnut.

Excellent crafstmanship, multi-shot, powerful, fairly quiet, adjustable power

nothing, this is an awesome rifle

you will be very pleased with this rifle, it is very comfortable to shoot, very accurate, and the quality is better than most real guns

Dollar for Dollar, this is the best value if you want accuracy and power. They all have the match barrels(12 grove).

It would be great to have an exchangeable tank. Also, synthetic stock.

I am able to shoot group of 1 to 2 inches at 50 yards. I even have 3ish groups at 90 yards. I would compete with any PCP on the market to do this. Of course, I could have been the problem for some of the accuracy issues.

I like the power, accuracy, the smoothness of the action, it indexes perfectly, the quality stock and machining, the power adjuster, the quickness I can get shots off, the balance and weight, it is perfect for field target or hunting squirrels, rabbits or starlings...I think it will be a collectors item someday...This rifle will compete with $2,000 field target rifles, for half the price...I'm getting 105 shots on a 195 bar fill, with my .177, with the first shots at 1020 fps with 10.6 kodiaks and ending at 731fps at 50 bar..... JBS 8.4 gr start at 1081fps and end at 792.... Mine takes a fill of 220 bar and then you can add 10 to 15 more shots that... At 50 yards I don't have to start aiming high until after 50 shots, then only 1 - 1/2 mil dots by the end at 50 bar!! No other PCP can come close to that number of accurate shots on a tank... I think that FN of Sweeden is making the parts for Air Arms on this one... it looks like the FN line a lot...

Nothing to change, a perfect design and manufacturing job!

This is the easiest air rifle to shoot, no recoil, easy to target and hold...you'll be a winner in no time with this rifle.... save your money and go to the top of the heap... you'll not need to go any further than this....

Well designed and well balanced. This is the best of the best, the workmanship, quality and precision are all first class. It puts my Weatherby Magnum to shame. The rifle is very quiet, very accurate, and a joy to behold. It draws a crowd at my rifle club.

The guage is hard to read, the numbers should be larger, and perhaps a color coded guage like the one shown in your illustration. The current guage is black and white.

If you can't afford this great gun don't worry. St. Peter will give you one when you go through the pearly gates.

Very Accurate, Very pretty, Very quite. CP's @ Hi power = 954 FPS avg. SD of 3,...@ Low power = 446 FPS avg, SD of 2. 20 yds. indoor smallest group @ .063 C-C @ 180 BAR fill. Side lever works great. Has a really nice trigger.

I would like the magazine to enter the rifle from the right side, can't use a large sidewheel on the scope for parallax adjustment, it blocks the magazine port. an adjustable cheekpiece would be nice.

Leapers 8-32 x 56 scope(SCP3-832AOMD) mounted on this rifle makes a fantastic combination ! Used Accushot 2 piece 30MM Hi mounts.

Very powerful. At full power a Kodiak in .22 has a muzzle velocity of 868fps, and Premiers go 985fps. I have only fired it to 11 yards, but Premiers and JSB heavies go into 1 hole. The quality of the rifle is excellent. It is quiet. At full power it's noise report is between an RWS 350 and a Sheridan Blue Streak, with no sharp blast. At the half power setting (870 fps with Premiers) it is as quiet as an RWS 350.

The cheekpiece is not ambidextrous. I would prefer to have the top edge more rounded. The power rheostat has 5 marks, and rotates only 90 degrees. I would recommend it be a full circle with more settings.

For the money, I don't think there is a more quiet, powerful and accurate airgun.
