AA S510 XS Ultimate Sporter 22 - Final Chrono tests

Jump to latest Follow Reply
Great, I'll have your rifle pulled and get it to Tyler so he can shoot it tomorrow, we will have it ready to ship out asap (should be ready Monday). I apologize, I was in a meeting when James talked to you so I wasn't able to approve more than the 10-for-10 at the time. Thanks for your patience! 

With regard to the policy on shipping your gun back before we send a new one, that is something I am working to address. It is unfortunately a system limitation that is forcing us to do it, and we are working on being able to ship first in the future for these situations. I'm new to this role at Pyramyd (started in July) so bear with me while I identify and work through some of these things that we could be doing better for you guys (and gals)!

Well, sounds like PA picked the right person to be Director of CE!

I fully understand not shipping a replacement before you get the defective one back, it would be an easy way to get burned. But I've learned that it never hurts to ask! I also know that just because one person or business handled a situation one way doesn't mean the next person will handle it the same.

Thank you Eric.

Thanks Bigdog....you too.

Hi Bob, great news your gun was picked up by UPS and is on the way. Tyler tested it out for you this morning and it shoots great!

Shot your .22 this morning as Eric said. The numbers were very good over the chrony. Shot 5 mags from 250 BAR down to 150 BAR and 48 of the 50 shots were within 15 fps. 938 fps average with JSB 18.13 heavies. The last two shots dropped as it was coming off the reg. I know the gun is rated at 60 shots per fill, but I am seeing less than what Air Arms has called for with the .25 that I am working with for an upcoming Insyder review. I talked with the techs at Air Venturi (the US warranty and repair center for AA) and they have sent an email to Air Arms to see if an update of the shot counts as they are listed online is in order. Will update everyone once we hear back.

Side note, put 10 of the heavies into a .38" group at 30 yards. Basically a large ragged hole. Hope that does the job for ya!

Geez Tyler, thank you for the detailed report! 50 shots is more than satisfactory to me with performance like that. I was only getting 873fps avg with the 18gr on an optimal fill with the rifle I had.

I hope you get to check my orignal rifle when it gets to PA. I don't expect results of the inspection to be posted, I just hope you get to check it for yourself being your close involvement in this.

Thank you so much!

George,

Sounds like it's going to be fantastic!! Thank you for all your help. 

🙂

Couldn't second any of those sentiments any faster than I did Mark, good call...



Also I'd like to give a sizable shout out to Corey Bach at Pyramyd Arms who had took not only calls but took the time and had the patience to reassure me that the partnership of Air Arms, Air Venturi and Pyramyd Air should there be any issue with my own as yet unopened S510US XS...Now some here might question why in hell didn't I simply call at the beginning of the thread for that reassurance...well as I said I was out of the country and it's a bit difficult to call from a jungle when theres no carrier signal and the spotty ass internet connection was far too spotty to VOIP. So, It's been a tough few weeks sitting on the bench when I simply wanted to yell "put me in coach!" and test my own rifle...

I posted the end game here to the Air Arms Owners Club's board in England. By the way I found them to be very knowledgeable chaps who were as perplexed as any here about the results but had some brilliant observation and insights on the issue. Excellent people with whom I intend to keep in touch. So...I get to finally open the box tomorrow when I go to my son's house. As I told them at the end of my post...

"Gents, Its Christmas tomorrow morning!"

I remember that mike.

It sure sounds like it's going to be perfect, over the chrono it sure seems to be! If it's as accurate as the one I had to send back, the pigeons don't stand a chance!!

From the sounds of it Bob, a near miss with would result in “death by massive concussive trauma"...but then of course I don't see many misses in your videos.

Personally I’d be editing out misses near and far, left and right such that any vid I had the stones to upload would probably be pretty short...I’ve been learning that a hand held mirror doesn’t work very well as an inexpensive camera holder and aiming aid.
