Another PCP purchase lurking in the horizon.???

[Marley5]

I'm spending every morning on the bench, then again in the afternoon and have a desire for yet another airgun. 

This isn't going to end soon but would like a little advice on up coming purchase. Been researching and reading and think I've narrowed my search to Air arms S510 vs FX Dreamline.

Similar pricing as well as similar reviews so going to AGN for expert advice or personal experience. 

Thankyou

That title describes all of us!

I don’t know what you own already but on my collection of close to 20 great air rifles, I have an S410 and S510. They would be the last of my rifles I would part with. Always super accurate and dependable. My .S410 is close to 20 years old.

thats the best plan ive heard all day ..

The S510 is a fine rifle, build quality is over the top, action is a joy to cycle, and the trigger is great! I had the Xtra FAC non regulated and to me, it had a pretty good bark. It’s a long rifle and putting a pickle on the end made it way too long. I ended up selling it.

If I were to get another, I would get the short version with a regulator. That way you can add a Donnie on the end and not have a fishing pole for a rifle.

Such a fine bunch of gentlemen, thankyou for the input.

I've got low tolerance for strays and entry level invites this. Own a few Airforce single shot that impresses and then my entry level that takes me back.

Simply looking to buckle down on a steady rest and tear a single hole with a smile.....in .22 this go around.

Air Arms with a regulator. Much better build quality and fit/finish than FX.

My wife has the S510 XS Ultimate Sporter, regulated and a little bit shorter, with the factory moderator. Super accurate, comfortable, quiet, high shot count and beautiful. It’s a super air gun! We love our FX air guns but the Air Arms is just a joy to shoot. Shoots a variety of pellets exceptionally well.

I would 100% recommend the Air Arms - or I should say, AN Air Arms.

They're exceptional. I recently acquired an S510 XS Xtra Ultimate Sporter in .25 and it is my favorite rifle. I have never, EVER, had a gun be so consistent in terms of POI from day to day. They're built like tanks and they seldom need servicing because of the simple, effective design, and excellent craftsmanship.

The S510T (tactical) just came out. It has a number of improvements over the S510 (other than the chassis).

Fortunately both are very good so doesn’t hurt to just toss a coin.

I love My Air Arms Rifles, I highly recommend the brand. Like others have said Air Arms make great Airguns, you won’t be disappointed if you buy the 510. My main hunting gun is my old 410 Xtra FAC bought in early 2000’s, still super accurate. Air Arms is one of those Turn Key airguns, take out of the box & clean the barrel, fill it up and shoot- once find what it likes for ammo. Don’t have to tinker much anything. - Jsb 18 gr shoot very well in mine as well as several others pellets.
