Page 6 of 6 - Air Arms S510 XS Xtra FAC Sidelever Reviews

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.
