Air Arms S410 TDR (take down rifle)

I stand by my statement that there is next to no need to have a take down style air rifle.Other than the fact they look kind of cool.

You certainly do have your right to your opinion, even if it is completely wrong and without merit. The fact that YOU can not see the need for a TDR is neither here nor there and implies that you have given the matter no thought, as had you considered their practical usages you would not have made such a vacuous statement in the first place.

For instance, TDRs can be transported in non descript rucksacks that do not arouse any suspicion on the way to one's shoots. Given their relative shortness of length, they can be shot with greater ease and comfort from confined areas. They take up less space in storage. Disassembley means that they can be rendered inoperable. They are considerably more expensive than standard airguns and to date I have yet to read of crminal fraternity showing a preference for AA TDRs or Skans over say pistols or in the case of juvenile delinquints, over springers!

I could go on but the above should provide you with some food for thought! Again, I ask you to you retract your statement

don't give people ideas and you can't use a pistol for live quarry
yes you do have your opinion but don't add fuel too the fire for these asswipes too bann our sport, i carry my guns in a guitar bag, (1) cos i only got a push bike too get too my shoots unless i go with my mate, (2) i like too conceal it then people don't know that i am carring a gun,i have a friend thats a copper and even he thought i had taken up playin and he knows i shoot and said bloody good on me,and i also have a take down the s16.so please don't go throwing mud cos it sticks and not everyone is up too no good you don't shoot live quary with a pistol .ps i have 5 farms i can shoot on which is over 7000 achers

I apologise. I made a blinkered comment about something that I hadnt considered properly.After reading your post I can absolutely see that TDRs could be essential to many types of shooter.
Im sorry for being so brash and hope I havent offended you in any way

No worries mate.

It can happen to all of us

[ryan martin]

cool cool no apologies needed, yah did the right thing n retracted it, sets a good example lol

I have a TDR & preferred it to the 410 I had, downside is 22 only & low shot count, mine doesn't get out a lot now as the verminator is my preferred hunting tool, but couldn't fault the tdr except for the two reasons as stated above.
Gary
P.S. As for the takedown thing, just because they can be doesn't mean you have to, my verminator has hardly ever been dissasembled, but I do have that option should it ever become useful to me.
