British company Air Arms is a leading manufacturer of PCP air rifles. As its name suggests, the S510 Ultimate Sporter R is quite literally the ultimate rifle built to win shooting competitions. In 5,5 mm calibre, however, it is suitable not only for target shooting but also for controlling small pests.
It immediately catches the eye with its beautiful, ergonomically shaped laminate stock. The stock features a rubber butt pad, but the adjustable cheekpiece plays the main role in ensuring maximum shooter comfort. It allows the rifle to fit every shooter perfectly. The new side-lever cocking system is certainly more comfortable than the ball-ended bolt handle on the S410 series.
The Air Arms S510 Ultimate Sporter boasts a highly accurate Lothar Walther barrel. It has 12 grooves that ensure superb accuracy. The manufacturer has also considered your noise-sensitive neighbours and equipped the air rifle with a highly effective sound moderator as standard.
The "R" designation means that the air rifle is equipped with a pressure regulator that ensures consistent muzzle velocity.
The air cylinder is filled to 190 bar and provides enough air for at least 60 shots. Naturally, the rifle can also be used with a magazine.
The match trigger is fully adjustable, and the safety is located directly on the trigger guard. We were particularly pleased with the inclusion of swivel studs for a sling or bipod; the front stud is mounted on a sliding rail for more convenient adjustment.
