You could yes but that goes with hunting at all ranges. This is where practice and reading wind is a must.TenMetrePeter wrote: ↑Fri Jul 26, 2019 4:21 pmOr with a wind change you could sneck off its beak and it would die slowly.

Re: S500 FAC Barrel Leak
Is it the original loading bolt? If it is then the only cause will be the o ring if it's coming from the breech.
Another o ring to check is the transfer port.

Re: Dialing for elevation.
There's still plenty of power left at 80 yards to penetrate a birds thin skull Peter with an accurate shot placement.TenMetrePeter wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2019 9:44 pmI wouldn't recommend trying to kill anything humanely at 80 yards with an air rifle anyway.

Re: Dialing for elevation.
Took a magpie last night at 80 yards, dialled in 16 moa and dropped like a sack of potatoes. Dialling does work, even with non regulated rifles. Just have to operate strictly within the sweet spot and find using a chrono. Mines pretty low at 155 bar using the mpr ft due to the way I've balanced it ...

Re: Dialing for elevation.
i dial for elevation. my sport is FT. I bet your scope costs more than my whole shooting setup haha. And for what? Most ft shooters are gear tarts, fashion over purpose. I'm using an old Hawke Varmint sf on 10x mag for 80 yard kills consistently, think about that next time your at an ft comp seeing...

Re: S410 Gauge Stuck.
Inaccurate is one thing, stuck is something else. My new s400 came with one stuck at 150. Always seems to be 150! I think theres just one manufacturer in China that makes that hexagonal gauge. Some are AA some are plain. Any other needs to have the correct profile for the O ring fitting too. I cont...

Re: S410 Gauge Stuck.
Can you buy aftermarket gauges? Ones which work properly!
Mine isn't too good either on my new S400f but really accurate on my 13 year old not ft.
Seems the British engineering was better back then.

Re: Dialing for elevation.
I use hold over/under for hunting and (some) dialing for targets. Turret adjustment for changing zero range and compensating for changing pellets is something else I do for hunting. But true dialing I only use for targets, and only with scopes that have the same reticle and turret graduations. Can'...
