As the name suggests, the Ultimate Sporter range is designed for those who want the very best when it comes to a hunting rifle. The super-slick sidelever action is very reliable, as is the magazine and action overall. Accuracy and consistency are excellent throughout the range in all calibres. The stocks are highly adjustable. The only thing to consider is whether you want something a little smaller, lighter and more compact.

For hunters who need more range and a flatter trajectory, the S510 XS TDR combines all the benefits of light weight and portability with high, but adjustable, power levels – 20 ft. lbs. in .177 and 25 ft. lbs in .22. The inclusion of Air Arms Series 7 regulator and valve means that despite such output, the S510 XS TDR still delivers 20 shots (.177) and 30 shots (.22) which will be more than enough for most hunters. Like the other TDR rifles, the XS is available in walnut and Tactical Black with features including an adjustable stock, shrouded and moderated barrel and two magazines.

The Xtra version has all the features and performance of the award-winning S510 Ultimate Sporter XS along with the added benefit of a larger air cylinder to deliver more shots per air fill. Available in .177, .22 and .25 at 20, 30 and 44 ft. lbs., you can expect 60 shots in .177, 55 in .22 and 35 in .25.

The range comprises a variety of rifles and carbines, each of which is available in a choice of three stocks: laminate, walnut and a black soft touch synthetic, all of which are ambidextrous and feature fully adjustable cheek pieces and butt pads. Power levels range from 12 ft. lbs. up to 44 ft. lbs. in .177, .22 and .25 calibres and include regulated and non-regulated options. Non-regulated rifles are filled to 190 bar, regulated rifles to 250 bar, by using a probe that attaches to a valve accessed by removing a cap at the front of the cylinder. And there’s a built-in manometer to show air pressure.

The S510 R TDR has all the benefits of portability, light weight and consistent performance of the S510 TDR with the added advantage of a regulated action. As a result, at 12 ft. lbs., shot count increases to a claimed 90 and 110 shots in .177 and .22 respectively.

The S510 range has a lot going for it. The rifles have appeal to this looking for a light weight, traditional sporting rifle looks thanks to elegant woodwork. Perfected over many years, Air Arms has ironed out any kinks in the action and the S510 range has a well-deserved reputation for reliability. Finish and engineering are high quality and won’t let you down. In terms of cons, there’s very little to criticise the S510. Being cylinder rifles, shot count is something to consider, although in the regulated model in particular, there are more than enough for several days hunting.

Without a doubt, Air Arms had hunters firmly in mind when it created the Ultimate Sporter. However, the addition of a regulator on some models means the Ultimate Sporter is a more than competent performer in HFT and FT events.

The S510 XS Xtra introduces a .25 option to the line-up alongside .177 and .22 calibres. Accordingly, this is a high-powered rifle putting out 20 ft. lbs. in .177, 32 ft. lbs. in .22 and 44 ft. lbs. in .25 although levels can be reduced with a breech-mounted adjustment dial which takes the .22 model down to just seven ft. lbs.

The S510 Ultimate Sporter is regarded by many as one of the finest air rifles available. Indeed, the S510 Ultimate Sporter XS was voted as such in the 2019 Great British Shooting Awards. The range is distinguished from other S510 models mainly by enhancements to the stocks, but shares the proven 10-shot magazine and side-lever platform of its stablemates. Like many other Air Arms rifles, S510 Ultimate Sporters are popular with hunters and target shooters who value their consistency, accuracy and reliability.

Winner of the ‘Airgun of the Year’ at the 2019 Great British Shooting Awards says it all about the S510 Ultimate Sporter XS. At 1115mm, it’s a full-length rifle, weighing 3.7kgs in the black finish stock and a little heavier in laminate and walnut. In addition to all the features associated with the range, the XS model is regulated for greater shot consistency and introduces .25 calibre availability to the range alongside .177 and .22 options. The ‘XS’ depicts high power levels at 20, 32 and 44 ft. lbs. in the three calibres which correspond to a shot count of 40, 35 and 25, which is ample for a dedicated hunting rifle. A dial on the side of the breech means you can adjust power levels to suit your shooting environment.

Comfortable and light, the S510 range is designed with hunters firmly in mind. That said, a dependable and reliable action delivers impressive levels of consistent accuracy – especially the regulated models – making the S510 a more than competent FT, HFT and range rifle as well.

The S510 XS Xtra has a 10-shot sidelever action magazine system, whereas the S500 XS Xtra has a sidelever single shot action, meaning you will need to manually insert a pellet each time the rifle is cocked. Some feel that a single shot action offers more precision. The S500 XS Xtra does not have a .25 calibre option.

Although the S510 XS is a high-powered variant, it is slightly shorter than the standard S510, but only by five mm. The XS model uses the Air Arms Series 7 regulator and valve system and delivers outputs of 20 ft. lbs. in .177 and 30 ft. lbs. in .22 with corresponding shots counts of 20 and 30 respectively. A dial on the side of the breech enables you to adjust the power to suit different shooting environments. Stock options comprise Beech, which is the heaviest by 0.4 kgs at 3.2kg, Superlight Hunter Green, Superlight Traditional Brown, Walnut and Walnut Thumbhole.

Based in south east England and founded in 1983, Air Arms has a long and well-respected reputation. It was one of the early pioneers of modern-day pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) air rifles, introducing its first model in 1988. Today the company produces some of the most respected PCP hunting and competition rifles, as well as class-leading underlever spring-powered rifles.

The ‘R’ designation hints at the fact that this carbine benefits from the Air Arms Series 7 regulator and valve system. It is identical in every aspect as the standard S510 Ultimate Sporter other than a higher shot count of a claimed 90 plus in .177 and 120 plus in .22. In addition, not only does the additional of a regulator give more shots from the 250 bar fill, it means they are more consistent across the fill pressure with no drop off as the air supply drops.

The S510/500 range is one of the biggest, and possibly most complex, product line ups on the market. Not including the separate S510 Ultimate Sporter range (see below for this range), there are eight different rifles and carbines, each with its own list of stock options and variants. Note that whilst Superlight models are ambidextrous and there’s a left-hand option for the Walnut stock, the Beech and Walnut Thumbhole derivatives are right-hand only.

All rely on the same dependable and proven side-lever action and adjustable two-stage trigger which incorporates a safety catch. All but the single shot S500 use a 10-shot magazine across all calibres. The S510 introduces the larger .25 calibre in some models, as well as the choice of high-powered shooting up to 44 ft. lbs. Non-regulated rifles are filled to 190 bar, regulated rifles to 250 bar, by using a probe that attaches to a valve accessed by removing a cap at the front of the cylinder. And there’s a built-in manometer to show air pressure.

“S510 Ultimate Sporters are popular with hunters and target shooters who value their consistency, accuracy and reliability.”

Whilst there is little by way of comparison for the TDR take down and twin cylinder TC models, alternatives to Air Arms rifles and carbines include the Red Wolf and Wolverine R from Daystate, as well as the Weihrauch HW100 Range.

The S510 range uses a sidelever system to cock the action whereas the S410 uses a bolt action. Both use the same 10-shot magazine. The S510 range is much broader too, with a take down option, .25 calibre models and high-power variants.

Designed with hunters firmly in mind, the S510 TDR (Take Down Rifle) breaks down into component parts all stored in a foam-lined hard case and can be put together in just a few seconds. The design ensures everything locks down tight with no movement. Available in Walnut or Tactical Black, the S510 TDR is a full-length rifle at 1030mm long and 2.8kgs. The unregulated 12 ft. lbs. action delivers a claimed 55 shots in .177 and 70 in .22. Two magazines, fully shrouded Lothar Walther barrel with a built-in moderator and adjustable stock add to the S510 TDR’s hunting credentials.
