I've been an airgunner since a kid. I always had a Sheridan that worked and several years back I got into springers and bought a few Beeman's that I really liked. But since watching Rldgcntr (Cliff) and all of his new PCP toys I thought the time has come for me to get one. I prefer to shoot left handed but finding many if any adult air rifles in left hand is an accomplishment in itself. But I finally got a couple of ideas talking to Cliff and found what I was looking for. I sent an email to Straight Shooters and inquired about Air Arms PCP's and what I was looking for. They actually showed a nice left handed sporter stock in walnut. But since I was paying some pretty good money and going all out on a NEW Air Hog tank and all the goodies I really wanted a thumbhole stock. I was told they could order one but it would take between 30 and 45 days to get one. Bummer, I really didn't want to wait that long. So I thought about it and called to see what else they had. Apparently it just so happens it depends who you talk to as to what they have in stock. I had been looking at the Air Arms S400 ERB-Walnut which is a single shot but it was a available in a LH thumbhole. But when I called I said I really would like a repeater with a magazine but you guys don't carry those in LH. He said yes we do, I was really excited now. He said in fact I have one sitting right here in front of me. But I said it's RH right? He said no it's LH and a thumbhole. Man I jumped on it right now. I had bought from them before so they had my info already and I added a bunch of extra stuff. He said let me open this thing to be absolutely sure it's what is marked on the box. I waited patiently and then he said yes it is, and I think you'll be extremely happy with how it looks. They have a new cocking feature on the newest models and I was almost afraid to ask if this was an old model. He said NO it's the new lever model. I can't tell you how thrilled I was. So it was off in the next days UPS and I got my tracking numbers. The tank was drop shipped from Air Hog so it arrived two days early. Then Wednesday arrived and the UPS driver pulls up and gives me one little tiny package. I said HEY there should be a BIG package too. He dug around and said here it is. That's a relief it got here. I was going to open them right then but had gotten some bad news so I didn't get around to opening them until a day and a half later.

So here she is my latest adult air rifle an Air Arms S410 ERB Thumbhole. Nice piece of wood if I say so myself. I guess that's why they said I'd be pleased with it. Thanks for your help Cliff!





Here's the gun's target from the the store showing they checked it.

Here's the new Airhog tank to fill it with.


Now to go get the tank filled and wring her out. I'm hoping to use her this weekend for turkey hunting since here in California it's actually legal to use an air rifle of .20 cal or larger for turkey and mine is .22 cal.

Freakin awesome John!!

Thanks Glen. I think even Cliff is going to be surprised with how nice this thing looks.

I bet he makes plans to come & shoot it!!!

Jon will be drooling over this one too!!

That is a fine looking rig.

Congratulations!!

I going to try her out on one of these this weekend if I get the chance. Spring turkey season opens tomorrow.



Well not these specifically as these are in front of my house.

Very Sharp Indeed!!

Yeah you want something with a little more beard than that.

Wow...That is a beauty John! I grew up with a sheridan and still have it and it's still a pretty good shooter. What's your opinion on how air gus of today stack up with the old sheridans for both accuracy and killing power? My Dad bought my Sheridan for me at a place called "Uncle Bill's" in Cleveland Ohio. It cost $19.95 back then I've killed many of rabbit, squirrel and crow at decent distance with that pettet rifle. That one you have there is sure a looker!

Mike, when I was growing up there wasn't anything I shot at with my old Sheridan that I couldn't kill. All of my buddies were jealous of that Sheridan and I still have it till this day. Here it is in all of its glory. It's 46 years old and still shoots very well.

But several years back I got talked into buying a springer barrel break Beeman. I was amazed at the power and how quiet they were from the old Sheridan. That was one of the things I hated most about the Sheridan was that loud BLAP! Plus the Beeman's shot over 300 fps faster than the Sheridan. I think a lot of the old Sheridan mystique was the 5mm pellets. But todays pellets are so much better and more accurate. My Beeman's shoot much more accurately than the Sheridan. But this new Air Arms will be hitting harder at close to 50 yards than my Beeman's will at the muzzle. I still shoot the Sheridan but hunt with the Beeman's and now this. In fact I already have my eye on another PCP. But I have taken a turkey with my Beeman .22cal and it dropped without hardly a wing flap. I shot him in the eye at about 40 yards.

Wow ...I'm sold John...thanks for the review. I've always had a love for a new long box in the back seat of the car or under the Christmas tree. I'm going to have to take another look at air power. So much fun!

SJ, that is without question the most gorgeous and functional looking airgun I've ever seen. No doubt it'll behave like it looks--sleek, obedient, deadly.

Thanks for sharing this with us.

WOOWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!


Beautiful rifle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are goning to love it, I've really gotten very attached to my Air Amrs guns they are just a notch above alot of the guns out there. Just look at what they use for factory wood, high quality all the way!

I'm sorry I just have to put this one back to the top. This is the best looking wood I have ever seen on a 410.

John you got a real keeper there. Kill something soon!
