Air Arms S200 Mk2 Bipod

Hi

I'm looking to fit a bipod to an S200 Mk2.

Is fitting a picatinny rail the best way to go, given the shape of the forend?

Re: S200 Mk2 Charging

Hi Guys - hope you all had a great Christmas. Thanks for all the input. After dry firing the power went up to 10 ft/lbs +. So I gave the adjuster screw on the right hand side of the breech a little tweak and it's now shooting at 11.1 ft/lbs over the chrony, and that's good enough for me.. Maybe it h...

Re: S200 Mk2 Charging

No, it was used.

I've probably fired about 50/60 - I haven't had it long.

As I said, I got a chrony after getting the gun, at which point it was running 10.4, which seems to be the normal power output.

Re: S200 Mk2 Charging

In an ideal world a cylinder would be great. But the ability to top up at any time appealed. Plus, I did some checking before buying the pump, and couldn't find anywhere local to top up a cylinder.

Swings and roundabouts I guess.

Re: S200 Mk2 Charging

Ran a series of shots which came out at 8.7 / 8.32 / 8.66 / 7.96 / 8.20 / 8.04 / 7.97 / 8.50. Dry fired as recommended and next series of shots came out at round about the 9.60 mark, with a +/- of 0.3 over 6 shots. So, we're moving in the right direction. I've read what others have said about not be...

Re: S200 Mk2 Charging

Hi Guys - thanks for the responses.

It fires OK - shooting at 8.35 ft/lbs - was around 10.4 just after I got it and got round to buying a chrony.

Can't really justify a dive bottle - the pump cost £160 so it should be up to the job.

Could it just be a clogged fill valve?

Cheers

Russ

S200 Mk2 Charging

Hi I'm a PCP newbie here hoping for some assistance. I've got an S200 Mk2 and I'm trying to charge it with a stirrup pump. The gun and pump have the old style male/female connectors - no gauge. My problem is - although the pump gauge registers 180 bar, this just seems to be the 'in-line' pressure - ...
