Looks like you got the steal of the century there mucka.
I'm a bit old skool and prefer springers to PCP, mind you I've got some Yorkshire blood from way back and springers tend to be cheaper so mebbe that's why?

As new condition some one took it out of the shop new about a month ago and then brought it back and put it in for an FT rifle it hasnt seen any use the guy bought it thinking it would be ok for field target and then realised it wasnt apparently he put it back in for some all singing all dancing target rifle
Give these people a ring and see what else they got its a real good shop run by a father and son team and real nice guys

Hiya punch its a .22 I prefer it for hunting I found the .177 faster shooting and flatter but sometimes at closer ranges it,ll pass straight through and you can lose your quarry
I picked up the stick thing through hunting with live ammo rifles

Ah!! .22 thats why the last owner didn'y get on with it for HFT then

peter in the shop said if the guy had said what he wanted it for he would have sorted him out but was unaware at the time ,which was very lucky for me
Apparently he came back and he gave him full value on it off a full field target rifle and scope but of course it rendered this one second hand I just fell in lucky I think to be honest a rare occurance for me
I,m really pleaswd with it I,ts a cracking hunting rifle

I was zeroing it ,thats a one inch square at 35 yards the far left was the first shot the far right the second and I think the last one as a free standind shot was not to shabby
The other targets were my jeni,s and considering she never picked up an air rifle before I think she did a good job don,t you
Ask the rabbit in the pics what he thinks of the groupings on an S510
