S510 ultimate

Opinions on hunting with a 177 S510 ultimate sporter please
I already have an S410 carbine in 22
Thinking about the S510 for hunting and target shooting
Cheers

i have no problem hunting with .177 it is accuracy that matters .

I use an S410 TDR in .177 and there's no difference to .20 or .22 in knock down power, after all, it's still the same ft/lb at the arrival hall (skull).
Make sure you get a head shot on a rabbit or chest on pigeons, but that applies to all calibres.

It will perform just dandy. As long as you feel comfortable and it naturally points.

Use mine for benchrest and hunting, adjustable stock always a good thing, fittings for slings / bipods etc no extra holes to drill, once anti tamper is out easy to service, can be a bit heavy for some, have to say it dsnt perform any better than my S400 in an MPR stock, but still ok, your money mate.

I have very recently made the leap to .177 after years of exclusive .22 shooting. I have had no problem obtaining results. Hunting/vermin control is pretty much the main use for my rifles. I found the flatter trajectory quiet easy to get a grip with. If you can place the pellet where its needed then there's no problem with stopping power.

I've had a play with it this afternoon it's been a bit windy but I'm happy with it
I even managed to cut down a couple of blades of grass
Mounted a Hawke side winder on it
