General comments: air arms s400 carbine is the best gun on market and i can prove.. i went into gun dealer and asked wat guns best for hunting. they said aa s410. i sed it was to pricey so i went for -s400- and the orderd it. come back next day and bloke attaches silencer and scope. he quickly shoots 1 bullet and adjusts 11 clicks left then 2 clicks up. i went to zero in my rifle the next day. and for 11 metres zero to 30? i shot 10 pellets and hit same target constantly omg... went hunting 1 hour later and they u go 2 rabbits in 20 mins best kit in the world. =] glad i brought and i HIGHLY reccomend it.

I got this Air Arms S400 Carbine.22ca gun today and was very pleased with it's performance. I have a small backyard with moody neighbours so this gun performed perfectly. You can't even hear the shot until it hits it's target! I wouldn't advise upgrading on this gun though until you get your FAC licence as their is no point - it's up to max power and is a pcp. I have a gamo shadow .22 break barrel which performs euqual to this in power and it's half the price so i won't be buying anymore air ...

Air Arms S400 Carbine.22cal is highly accurate and does make a good hunting tool. Although if there is moisture in the pump cylinder you have to get a new one.

very accurate when tuned in, good hunting rifle but can break.t

I have owned my Air Arms S400 Carbine.22cal for 3 years now and feel that I have put it through is paces.. Over 10000 pellets.. It is almost the perfect hunting air rifle with the only limiting factor being that there is no magazine which can be fixed I have just recieved one of rowan engineering and it completes my set up. Cleaning is very easy on the air arms as the bolt slides far back allowing an easy pull through. I am quite depressed though about the amount of these air rifles that come ou ...

Yeah you guys say the screw to the right of the action does adjust the power but only a small amount. You may hit 13ft/lb with crossman accupell, the real power comes from swaping the hammer spring with a heavier coil so that when the hammer strikes it does with a larger push behind thus opening the valve for longer and resulting in higher ft/lb. Gains of up to 23ft/lb can be made with a standard S400/410.

My first Air Arms rifle and I'm very impressed. I am happy with the .177 classic with the beech stock which produces more than enough power for the small quarry here in Scotland. I have lost that crazy velocity/power bug where every extra FPS running through my chrono is an achievement and a good find as far as pellets go. It is similiar to young guys trying to eek an extra 5 BHP out of their puddle jumper cars with the addition of cherry bomb exhausts or fuel additives, the manufacturers love ...

Would have liked more guidance from Air Arms regarding the S400 barrel clamp 'O' ring, - should it be a snug fit or not?

Air Arms S400 Carbine.22cal: I have always had spring airguns before and what a joy it is to switch over to a compressed air one, it was ordered straight from the internet so I have never even seen one before but very pleased with it.
The only thing is that is is only producing 550fps (am I right in thinking the legal limit is somewhere over 600fps depending on pellet?) (( that is only on a cheap chronograph I have though ))

I will be contacting the shop tomorrow to see what they say, I have ...

I bought my Air Arms S400k in .22 from CH Weston in Brighton,very good deal. The gun is very accurate and easy to tune 4 turns out on the transfer port gives 15 flbs between 90-140 bar=40 shots. This is using Air Arms hunter pellets weighing 16 grains, please don't do this unless you possess a fire arms certificate. I only have one gripe with the gun the barrel band could be a little snugger on the barrel, easy fix I put a little black wipping like what you do on fishing rod eyes, can't even not ...

I was placing shot after shot on top of each other with my Air Arms S400. I fitted a bipod and works really well for zeroing. A great quality rifle with everything an airgunner needs.

I have been using my Air Arms s400 Carbine now for over a year. I really look after this rifle and it has been a joy to use. It was my first PCP rifle ever, and came highly recomended from the seller. And I can see why.
I wanted a light rifle, with ultra accuracy, and having since purchase two other rifles, also PCP, I still go back to my AAS400 time after time, making it my choice for Field Target shoots, and hunting. I really can't fault this gun in any way.

There is perhaps one fault, alt ...

I wanted a rifle for hunting and ft, and after a lot of reading I found that the Air Arms S400 Carbine .22 was the gun for me. What a decision! It is perfect for me, and after zeroing my Hawke Mill-Dot 3-9 x 50IR Nite-Eye scope to 35 yards (resting), I can get every shot in a 12mm circle and at 15 yards (using the Mill-Dots). I can hit the top of our pin board pins (wife not too pleased) every time, thus having to go and buy the smallest headed pins (approx 2mm) to test myself, and I can hit 7 o ...

I have used Many air guns, my 1st being a Webley Mk3 My last was a HW77K which I thought was very accurate but a bit heavy. What a great difference this pre-charge is
It is lighter great to handle and deadly accurate. I bought it from new and sighted it in very quickly first at 40 feet then at 25 yards Hitting consistently into a 50p hole.
This gun is well built and very quick to load (why bother with multi shot).

A good hunting rifle, use air arms (field)pellets if you want accuracy and power (roundheads not pointed, there is no energy transfer to the target using pointed pellets). The allen key grub screw (under the allen key lock screw 1.5mm) can be used to set the power on a chrono, max is about 14-15 f/p with 16.4 gr pellets or set it less than 12 f/p if you don't have a fac (right).
Or get yourself a fac just for air rifles, alot of hassel, less hassel than a bullet fac. £50 for 5 years.

The Air Arms s400 .22 air rifle is perfect for hunting with it's 12ft/lbs capabilities and extremely good accuracy. If bought in carbine version, the light weight advantage means you can carry this gun about all day and not get too tired. If bought in .177 it is perfect for field target shooting. I won acompetition in my local airgun club with a s400 .177.

the power on the Air Arms 0.22 S400 air rifle is regulated via a small grub screw on the right hand side of the port. Used in conjunction with a crony, you can hit 12ft lbs with any of the pellets on the market.
***be careful, you will be using an FAC rifle if you do not use a crony**
