OK, thanks alot guys. I've been swayed towards the HW100T for quite a while now but a few people have recommended the S410 so i just wanted to get an idea of what you guys think of it.. and i've deffinetly made up my mind.

HW100T it is

It's a lovely little thing. good to see its actually killing things now though.

I'm not surprised you liked the rifle Rhys,you stood in awe at the owners shooting prowess

,the shake of your head when i head shot that rabbit at 55 yrds(standing) will be remembered forever.

Also that squirrel at the bottom of the trunk up Burts,i told you to shoot it & you said you couldn't,so i did.

Now bow down & kiss my sheepsh*t covered walking boots.

I've handled both and i think the webley fx2000 is nicer than both of them. HW100 is heavy and ugly and the s410 has ****e thin blueing.

I love my S410K it's a brilliant rifle, only used the HW100 at HFT comps when I had a go of other peoples, so really couldn't get a proper feel for the rifle. I love HW springers and have owned my Venom 80 since 1983, like some said all HW's are built to last. Its just my S410 feels like an old pair of walking boots, very comfortable to use for long periods.

The S410 was an excellent PCP and took many rabbits. It was light, well made and accurate. It never let me down either.

The HW100T Karbine feels more efficient. Its magazine system is the best of any air rifle I have used (including Airwolf & BSA Superten) and the cocking mechanism is easy and efficient. To the shoulder it feels right. Probably the best compliment I can pay to the rifle is that it brings you confidence to shoot your very best.

But, the HW100 is £200 or so more expensive than the S410.
