Does anyone have any significant pros or cons between the .177 and the .22 in the S510? I think I am sold on it. Just need to pick a caliber. Mainly gonna use it for target hole punching, plinking and Starling control in the backyard. For reference I already own a Daystate Airwolf in .22 with the same purpose, only it is a bottle gun. I have an Akela in .177 also. My Crown is my field hunting gun in three calibers .177, .22 and .25. and also have the Caiman X in .25 as a field hunting gun. The beauty, traditional styling and accuracy of the AA S510 is what really attracts me.

Since my previous post, I've bought another S510 in walnut and .177 caliber. I love rifles with nicely styled walnut stocks and I think they are disappearing from the market. I am not disappointed. Tis rifle shoots extremely well, gets 60 shots per fill, and shoots 10.4 gr pellets at a strong 984 fps. I like its ability to adjust power easily. Fit and finish, as all Air Arms rifles, is outstanding. My first AA510 was in .22 caliber and was great, but since I'm not a hunter, I bought the second one in .177 primarily for FT or 25M BR. For me, I would get more use from the smaller one. For distances of 50 yd or less, it would have plenty of oomph to dispatch smaller pests too. Even though I have several .22s, 25s and .30s, I kinda like the .177s and I have more of them than the larger ones.
