Written on: 27/02/2013
Excellent rifle ,had mine around 6 years now ,fitted multishot adapter kit and I would say if you like the look of these Biathalon styled rifles you will not be dissapointed ,low shot count in .177 so stick to .22 or buy a regulator if you want more shots . light weight ,excellent balance and quiet with good silencer fitted .

“"For those on a Budget" ??? ”
Written on: 17/07/2012 by thesmudger (1 review written)
I have just recently returned to the world of Air Rifles and, apart from a couple of "modern" CO2 pistols, I have remained faithful to the old barrel real springer models that I had been used to. That was until I tried an Air Arms 200, and I was hooked. This model is variously described in the literature as "A Budget Model", "for beginners" and "the ideal gun for a lady or child". Don't believe a word of it. Budget Model - yes, in terms of its stable mates, but it is none the worse for... (read more)

“Air Arms S200”
Written on: 05/02/2012 by VinceGreen (1 review written)
I bought a MK3 in .177 flavour, used but in mint condition. Flawless! Accurate, very accurate. 35 yard clover leaf grouping with ease. Light, and comes to the shoulder with such ease. If you want a pneumatic rifle this is one that should have serious consideration. It may not have the looks of the one you want, but it will be as accurate! (read more)

“Air Arms S200 .177 calibre.”
Written on: 16/01/2012 by mattycons59 (7 reviews written)
After shooting an Air Arms S410 and Pro Sport in .22 calibre for a year I decided to join my local (as local as a 50 mile round trip can be) air rifle club to gain a bit more experience and pick up some tips from more seasoned shooters. Great fun but after a couple of weeks I noticed that I was one of the only ones using a .22 rifle, everyone else had .177. So, I decided to get myself a .177 to see what all the fuss was about. Having used Air Arms rifles in the past I opted for an Air... (read more)

“What a gun! Great for starters and the like.”
Written on: 27/09/2011 by sam-airguns (1 review written)
The Air Arms S200 is possibly the most user-friendly pre-charged sporter I’ve ever tested. Comes in bolt action single shot and has a fill pressure of 200 bar. Gives around 50/70 in 177. This is good for starters, younger people and women but it's also a great gun for pest controllers because of it's weight. The overall finish of the gun is good and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a starter air gun. There's a good review of the gun here... (read more)

the s200 is a remarkable rifle, i have had 3 now.. and even though i have had daystates and loguns i have still come back to the aa s200, as my favorite rifle.
the stock is a personal thing only.. i prefer the 2 piece mk2 stock than the horrible 1 piece mk3, but thats only personal opinion!! nothing more, the mk2 is easily twaekable and mine is running around 17ft/lb in .22 form.

remove back stock and turn in red screw until it doesnt fire, then keep on turning it back half a turn until it does fire

Got myself a second hand air arms t200 second hand for £320 with a silencer, walther 3-9x56 ir scope, Mag system, brass trigger and brass bolt.
it's the model with the target stock on it i find it much better than the 'normal' stock because if you have the mag system you need high scope mounts so i needed a high cheekpiece. Took it out to the garden with some bisley practice, 10 shots to zero it after that pellet on pellet at 20-25 yards not tried it at longer ranges yet.... Amazing gun...

Written on: 18/05/2010 by mandemerdam (3 reviews written)
I have now owned the Air Arms S200 MkIII for about two years. I previously owned the Weihrauch HW97k (also a great rifle).
The rifle is quite light (at a push 4kg with the scope) meaning it will not tire you out after carrying it around in the field. The pistol grip makes the rifle very easy to shoulder and keep steady. Also the one piece stock looks great and sits well in the hands. The trigger can be adjusted for different hand sizes but I left mine as it was. The new air bottle can be...

Hi , Recently purchased an Air Arms s200 mk3 .22 from City airweapons , £320.00 Best price i could find.
I took it out to the field with Air Arms diablo and Accupels , Zeroed at 30m i could get just about pellet on pellet at 30 yards and less with the accupels , The Air Arms diablo felt a bit light in my barrel they were going all over the place but after a few hundred shots it calmed down and i was hitting milk bottle tops at 50m :)

AIR ARMS S200 : Had this gun 2 weeks and i'm well impressed so far. Very tight groupings, nice and light, I have the MK3 a 1 piece stock which in my opinion is a lot better looking than the previous models plus it has a metal bolt action which i also think is better, the MK3 does have tamper proof fixings now as i think all air rifles do as of the new law passed in 2007, but still mine shoots at around 11.8 ft lbs . Its reasonably priced too at around £295 + Accesories , i have a silencer... (read more)

I agree the woodwork is a bit crude. I bought my s200 from guns international in barnsley about 18 months ago. have been buying gunsfrom here since1975. they changed the stock for one from the s400 I think. it transformed my gun into a very managble bit of kit.I ve onlygot small hands but anyone with big hands would find the nearly sqare shape of the original stock quite stable. Overall a very efficient tool. Before I bought this I always had boingers. Its a different world.

if you own an s200 id say you were the wiser one as this rifle does everything it says on the box of an £800 rifle, if you bought it for hunting then a 30 yard kill or less is good enough for me (one shot one kill) dont try to brag to your mates you did it any further " it aint an FAC rifle nor a shot gun" if you ve been to the range like me and seen a .177 out perform you no worries now go buy a s200 .177 aswell.

The Air Arms S200 is a great little gun i can kill a rabbit at 30 yards no problem but it is reccommended you buy a magazine or you loose count of how much shots you have left. At medium range it will clear a roses tin and it should be regarded as more than a plinker (read more)

had an Air Arms S200 for a while years ago
if you cannot hit a 5p size target every time at 20m time to give up really
so easy to shoot
practice with a springer then use one of these so so easy
i wouldn't bother with the .22
some are saying power is about 10ftlbs so maybe a gun smith can tune it up a bit
mine seemed fine in 177 cal
if you are a weakling and need a light rifle,, fine.. but using a pump to re-fill the cylinder may be a shock to those arms

The Air Arms S200 is a very compact and competant peice of kit. The accuracy of a .177 over .22 is huge (if you are not used to judging flight path of a .22)
Must have accessories, silencer and 10 shot repeater upgrade. One more item which I would recommend but not essential is a brass or steel cocking bolt. The plastic one already fitted really does feel plasticky...!! you will know if you ever get to handle one

This Air Arms S200 is the best pcp rifle by far that i have owned. it is a lot more than a starting pcp as a lot of people seem to think.
i would reccomend this rifle to anyone.
light enough to use all day and night
extremely accurate up to 60yrds (i have found)
can easyly dispatch a rabbit at around 60yrds (.177)
easy to load and cock the rifle, even easier once the magizine is fitted
easy to charge up the air supply, needs a silencer as it is quite loud.

Written on: 20/10/2009
I found this review helpful because...I have recently obtained a S200
<br/>Mk 2 .22 caliber I have found that over 35 yds I can see the pellets drop quite a lot from what I expected. About 3 inches (8oclock)from the orginal zeroed distance of 25 yards.all with 20mm. Slight cross wind 5mph
<br/>I know that the .177 caliber had a much flatter trajectory & accept that the .22 is a heavier pellet, but is this ecessive?
<br/>I have been using H&N trophy, I seem to recollect that on the shop chrono using their pellets the read out was 10.16 or maybe 10.62 so maybe the rifle needs a tune up. The pressure in the tank would be about 160 as I had put about 30 shots down range from a fill up of 190. Any idea's?

Used it for a year now in FT/HFT competitions and it didn't miss a beat. Even managed to out shoot people using far more expensive rigs like Air Arms EV2's! Worth its weight in gold and wouldn't swap it for all the tea in China!
