The Air Arms S410 is a British-made pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) air rifle that's been a benchmark in the airgun world since its launch around 2000.
It's the multi-shot evolution of the earlier S400 series and remains in current production as a bolt-action sporter that's prized for its accuracy, reliability, build quality, and classic good looks. Air Arms (based in Sussex, England) designed it as an all-rounder for hunting, target shooting, and plinking—sub-12 ft-lb in standard UK/EU spec, with FAC (higher-power) versions available in some markets.

It uses a simple, proven design with no regulator or fancy electronics—just rock-solid engineering. Reviewers (including recent 2025–2026 tests) still call it one of the best all-round PCPs: it shoots as well as far more expensive rifles, holds zero perfectly, and feels like a “proper” sporting rifle in the hands.
In short, the S410 is a no-nonsense, accurate, and durable PCP that’s been refined over 25+ years without losing its appeal.
