Air Arms 510 Ultimate Sporter - one of the most talked about rifles of 2014, with the massive claim to be "Ultimate". Giles takes a look at this beauty of an air gun and works out a test of ultimate air gun worthiness.
This video contains a review of a pellet / BB rifle. Its powered entirely by spring actioned compressed air and uses no gunpowder and must not be confused with any form of tactical firearm. My Targets are paper and tins.

totally agree with mark, I bought one in .177 six months ago, stock was totally mint, accuracy well all I can say is with jsb heavies its the most accurate rifle I have ever used straight out of the box, single pellet holes at 40yrds and I don't mean clover leaf I mean single pellet holes, it is that accurate I,m thinking of sticking the barrel on my FT rig, in my eyes all I can say is its more accurate than any daystate I,ve ever owned and I,ve owned them all except the pulsar, Air Arms have got it right with this one
Its price plz?
I second that...👍🏻

That tick-sheet of yours is an excellent idea Giles. And thanks, as always, for taking the time and trouble to make these videos for us. I'm always educated - and of course hugely entertained as well.
I do like the honesty in the marking system, giving an "ULTIMATE" rifle a 6.5/12 do takes some balls to do, and I like it when an airgun guy actually do tell you the facts and not just praise the rifle with fluffs. The AA filling device CAN actually be quick fill though. I got mine to stick with a male froster first and so now it is always a snap to fill it up, no hassle, very fast. Sad to see the stock like that though, which is actually shocking to see from Air Arms... getting my HFT in hand very soon, hope the stock is perfect!
I have one and the stock is beautiful and perfect, you got a lemon there..
6:55 put a small amount of oil on your finger and rub on the orings. some people haven't got a clue, ive never seen anyone struggling so much filling the best guns in the world up.
Guys a plinker not a gun expert, no chrono no "options" no price IF you choose to buy air arms PCP's REMEMBER from empty you must cock the gun leaving the bolt/lever in the open position till you have 40 bar don't go above 190 bar or 90 bar.
Thank you for your reviews. They are always helpful.
Tiny bit of silicon grease smeared on the fill port o rings and it goes on and off silky smooth, no fuss, no drama, no need for cloths etc. And is prob best and safest fill adapter out there!!
great review there mate .
I am a air arms owner myself owning a s410 classic and I have to say that's one lovely looking gun and by the looks of it the gun shoots well . ideal for a good rabbit hunt .
Thank you. I found that thoroughly enjoyable.
i have a push on quick release on my bottle adapter and it is super quick to fill .. also being a lefty i find it most definitely LH/RH friendly, in fact when i target shoot i don't have to remove my finger off the trigger because i index with my right hand .. my stock is spotless and came in a plastic bag in the box hence he got his out of a cardboard box no plastic bag so was not untouched hence whoever removed the bag may have marked the stock .. i am mainly a Weihrauch man with 17 of them in my collection, my favourite gun is my Weihrauch HW100 KT with multi adjustable laminate stock .. but i have to say that out of the 30 plus guns i have ranging from Daystate to Air Arms to BSA to FX to Weihrauch, the ultimate sporter is my second favourite !
The AA fill adaptor is a pain in the a** but it is the safest and probably most reliable on the market
You can get these amazing rifles at around 1k, they compete at a much higher level than what you are paying for.
This one is around 1200 or so I know, but they can call it ultimate, supreme or whatever, it's got enough features to gladly say I ordered one after watching this video. My friend has one, he has Daystate, FX etc. He says his favorite to shoot is his air arms.
I love when you are so honest!
But I think that the stock you've got was one in a thousand, I don't think all the minelli stocks are like yours, even the best copany might have that problem.
I've tested a hw100 fac fsb Sporter and I can tell it's ultimate airgun, not perfect (40 shots per fill wich it's very eficient due to the air capacity but not enought and it's way too heavy).
Great to see you again Giles, cheers!
brilliant as usual Giles, thanks mate, can`t get enough of these reviews, I`d like to pitch my new .177 LGU against it though, wanna compare costs?
Great review Giles. Practical and honest. If you come to Extreme Benchrest again will you be bringing it along?
sir you are one of the few on UA-cam who show respect for the animals you shoot
Nice video as usual very nice looking rifle there I loved the stock, but I had a AA s510 superlite nice rifle but I hated the trigger it doesn't come close to my hw100.
I love the Airgun Gear Show! Just last week I was in a shop deciding what rifle to buy and had an ultimate sporter in my hands. I didn't buy it. For me the stock was too chunky up front (I am not a big lad and have small hands so this one is a personal thing), the pistol grip is too raked and I just don't like the look of laminate stocks. Quite frankly even without these issues I was not convinced that the very significant additional cost over and above a standard S510 or even a S410 was worth it. What did I buy? The S200 MPR FT as the stock was simply just a better fit and design for me once it's butt spacers were added, the barrel is the same as the U/S, the accuracy is the same (it's fabulous! I agree, you don't need a regulator if the action pumps out consistent shots with a decent shot count. A reg is another thing to go wrong.), I prefer single shot anyway (no double load issues, safe as you can load a pellet without cocking the action etc), now I just need to put a silencer on it and i have my own 'ultimate sporter'.
Love the review and have bought this as my first rifle.
What pellets are best through this please?
Giles, another cracking review. Just a thought to add to the list? How quiet? I know, another one of the bright ideas club. And I know measuring noise can be expensive or hard to gauge. I'm finding as the industry constantly improves on rifles that the silence of an air rifle becomes as important as perhaps weight, sling swivels etc. please keep your reviews coming! Great!!!
With regard to visible safety - I can feel the 'safety on' protruding if you gently rub your forefinger on the trigger side - you don't need to look at it in order to establish if the safety's on....also another thing that would help in your ultimate line up of 12 is how many shots per fill can you get - I chose .22 on mine and have a comfortable 120 before filling, which I think you made a total ham fist of personally. Its easy when you know how and do it regularly.
Sharp looking rifle. I love my AA S400 XTRA FAC. for a .177 it produces 20fpe and puts a hurting on all the pest that hop fly or scurry in front of my scope. Thanks Giles. I will be posting a short video of my Evanix soon and I will let you know when its up.
Enjoyed the video..looking to get back into air rifle shooting...was thinking of get the ultimate sporter?but may stick with the walther.
great review
love you giles !!
I have got one myself in .22 and it is fantabulous 😆
hi Giles awesome review do you think an FX crown would be good for HFT competition
Thanks Giles
instead of taping the moderator or using a cloth to protect your gun, tape up the fill fitting that way you don't have to keep masking off the gun. the tape can stay on the fitting because its only attached to gun while your filling
TheGreenMarksman Now that's lateral thinking, cheers :)
Great video
Thank you Giles, another good video.
Lovely gun, but coming from the 410 carbine I would look at the Weihrach 110 first. While not as pretty as the AA the Weihrach has a better safety and an anti double load feature. Plus you can get the mag out without cocking the gun by the looks?.... Along with a few other 410 fixes the 510 simply doesn’t have. Like loading the mag gun level. On my 410 lean the gun back and the pellet falls out the mag hole when loading, or lean it forward and the bolt falls forward blocking the magazine. I don’t see the 510 helping most of those issues. Sadly. But oh my, it’s a loverly looking gun the 510
The stock on my ultimate sporter is perfect so I score 7.5. If you apply some petroleum jelly to the fill adapter o rings is slides on and off beautifully.
Not sure how the stock ended up like that but my suggestion would be it is a demo model sent out to be reviewed in less than careful hands!
I bought one of these a few years ago and the stock was immaculate,as I would have expected it to be.
+Mark Smallman same here m8 .
was thinking the same thing and there by being a bit agitated hearing him say,no hi quallity stock...
Hello Giles,
I have to say im not a lover of the AA filler setup, but mine became a world easier to use with a wipe of silicone grease on the filler O rings. No more bangs on the silencer. Mind you id rather have a QD fitting.
Well thought out review thank you.
nice looking rifle. no regulation is bad but the fill port make it a no go
Good test.
Great review but can you please review the Diana P1000. I think you may like this PCP air rifle. May be a bit pricey but when you pick it up you'll see why.
aye up ,think you made a meal out of filling ,I don't have a problem filling my s510 even with my fat farmers fingers and have never hit the moderator any way the filling procedure should be taking slowly for safety and that you don't damage the rifle so should be never be called quick fill but easy fill, I agree with you on the safety catch but you don't have to cant the rifle to check if it's safe if your right handed just gently brush your finger on the side of the trigger and if you feel the button it's safe as you have to push the button to the left to fire but yes it could be placed somewhere better , it's also about time air arms fitted anti double load, oh one last thing your lawn mower is shite my mower lizzie the izi is the best mower in the world
Really like your honest reviews, keep them coming!
Awsome so wanna get it
I love airgun gear show ;)
You should do the hatsan 125 sniper for your next review
What would you say is better air rifle between the review you did on the Sumatra 2500 500cc and this air arms s510 ultimate sportster? Thanks
I have the same rifle . My stock was perfect . I would send it back for a better one .
Nice honest review Giles
Why on earth not send the rifle back with a damaged stock!? It's pretty much the only reason for buying one over standard.
Hi !!!!!! great show, as always. Just one question: What´s the air reservoir capacity in the ULTIMATE SPORTER CARBINE?
Regards from Mexico
Around 90 in 22
Around 90 in 22
I have an SMK B19 good gun!
.22 calibre cost £115
Great Review..
I'm in the beginning stages for consideration of Air Rifles. Air Arms is a leading contender for my purchase. What other manufactures should be considered that is on par with the A/Arms? thanks
the Observer there's quite a few quality manufacturer's. ataman, benjamin, daystate, fx, hatsan.. with a huge following swearing by their brand.. do your research on what you want to do with it, and how much you want to spend, and type airgun power plant.. whittle it down and further research your top contenders.
well great video my friend but you sure took long to make it lol just joking i couldnt wait so i went out and got one for myself the canadien version and i got to tell you its beautiful and shoots like a dream at 50 yards can almost put one pellet inside the other for the first 20 shots i own a few pcp and i got to tell ya 1600$ is alot but well worth the money for the quality of this rifle right out of the box and also love thats its ajustable from low power to high in just seconds anyways always anjoy your videos keep up the good work
Brad Wiebe hello if you have that kind of money this is the rifle for you smooth quite and accurate and a beauty to hold and look at i tell ya did i mention beautiful lol oh yes i did lol
what type of scope is that looks interesting
Got to add ...I own this and a hw 100kt laminate...the 100 is the gun first out of the cabinet every time...
mountfiled mowers are really good,ive got one!haha..the ferrari of mowers!!
Just bought one of these myself...
Accuracy is just ridiculous, pellet on pellet..
would you recommend this or the fx royale 400 both in .22
Oh dear just ordered one.! Hope they have sorted out those "X" in the last 4 years?
How sre you getting on with your s510. I am thinking of buying one myself.
@@markl4670 Same here! i cannot make up my mind
Looks like a great gun, however I can't stand that "on trigger safety catch" Air Arms need to make this go away and never come back.
Most put the safe in front of the trigger
@@yetiwheeler7972 Safeties should be thumb operated, and not within the trigger guard.
I have never used the safety catch on any of my rifles, if I Need to make them safe I just de-cock them. You should always assume that a weapon is not safe and you should never put your finger near the trigger unless the weapon is pointed in a safe direction
is it necessary to say goodbye like mr tumble haha only joking big lad nice vid.
Want one
Great review thanks, so what is your ultimate then ?
so is it an ultimate sporter, because if not then I will just stick with my s400f spaceflight, just as accurate, 250 pounds cheaper with the same if not higher quality including the stock. Giles could you please review the s400 superlight, it really is a fantastic rifle and a good single shot option for the money conscious. I highly recommend it, I have beaten FWB's, daystates and anshutz rifles with it at HFT events, my point is it is a bang for your buck quality rifle from air arms and with so many channels focusing on the high end of pop shooting this really bridges the gap between the quality and the price, please review it
Hi Giles
The AA quickfill surely isn't the most clever design but you can optimise it
I have a female adapter on my fill bottle to take all the different adaptors for all my different airguns
Get one of them plus a male to screw your AA stupid T design adaptor into, connect it to the gun, plug the female onto it, fill, bleed, remove whip and just take the adaptor off.
You'll never hit your silencer again
Nice vid btw and keep on shooting that bear LOL
think I'd rather the Huntsman regal tbh .good video though ,as usual 👍
With those nicks on the stock you should have gone back to the shop and you can buy quick fillers for the gun replacing the factory system.
Does anyone think he should revisit this accuracy test with a different scope?
Made me laugh 😌 fine video ! 👍
I was considering this rifle for the up coming Christmas and have a dilemma, I could choose this or get a Kral Puncher Jumbo and a Webley Mastiff for about the same price as the sporter, so is it to be the two or just the one? hhhmmmmm
Ultimate Sporter for me, now it's regulated as well. It's on my Christmas list.
so what is the "ultimate sporter" than ? i cant decide what to buy !!
Just wipe some silicone oil on the filler seals, the connector will slip on and off easily.
Hi Giles, would you like to re visit the comment about the Ultimate Sporter not having a regulator. Mine most definitely does
has bessie been used lately JILES
I ended up returning mine. The stock was beautiful, walnut, the action superb, but the adjustability of the rifle was limited.youre pretty much stuck using the 18.1 grain AirArms or JSB pellets. the extreme spread was pretty ugly. However, to AirArms credit they redesigned the regulator and offered to retro fit Mine. I just preferred to not go down that road, but rather do the return in favor of an FX Crown
That's really interesting! They are the two rifles on my shortlist in the fac version, how are you liking your Crown sir?
How about a review of Bessie the lawnmower?
Isn't it the same action as a normal S510 ?
yes, same gun shorter
If I got a gun with the stock like that I whoud be back at the shop for another one in better condition , if you are paying that much money you want a good one !!!!!
How did that stock pass QC with all those marks!
agree. I would have sent it back.
What Chinnature said .....Sir You got Balls to say Fill system Suck's. Thankyou .....Franky
You want an ultimate air rifle? It has to be Consistent, it has to be Quality, and it has to be Convenient.
Easy tuning.
Reliably consistent shooting.
Large fill.
Convenient filling.
Interchangeable, easily accessible parts for maintenance.
Adaptable for various situations/power requirements.
Effective manual safety.
Fill gauges must be AWAY from the barrel.
Trigger adjustable for travel in both stages, as well as weight.
Stock adjustable for cheek weld, pad height, and length of pull.
Built-in Picatinny mounting system.
Quiet.
Efficient.
Barrels are fabricated with the proper twist rate for the projectiles and velocities you're shooting.
Closest you're going to get is an FX gun.
What’s best 177 or 22
There's something bright red hanging out the top of your shorts Giles, i'm not a Doctor but i'd get some cream for it PRONTO and try not to scratch it... lol atb Dixie
Nah your off bro, this is the best air rifle ive owned since my A A s510 walnut thumbhole in .177 its perfect;
Quick fill it is. Just apply a tiny amount of Vaseline to the seals and you won't have to struggle to get it on or off and nor do you have to use the keyway to lock it on it will still fill. The earlier type didn't have it. You should always apply Vaseline to your seals it feeds them and keeps them supple so they don't go hard split or rip and makes them slide easier and will course no harm to the working of the rifle.
@@richardjones2811 Only an idiot puts seals in dry. What do you think the tubes of lube are that your suppose to buy for the seals. What do you think they use in electrical high voltage switch gear to stop it sparking and arking. Perhaps you now something that the experts don't. Another one that doesn't know his ass from his elbow. I've only been using and maintaining air weapons for 50 years and any PCP I've got gets the seals maintained with a thin smear of Vaseline on it. I didn't think anybody was stupid enough that I had to say don't apply it with a shovel and another thing is Vaseline is a by product of petroleum and isn't flammable but there are lots of idiots that don't know this.
@@richardjones2811 I don't mind punching the keys all night to correct someone that doesn't know what he is talking about. I was pistol and carbine captain of the club when I had a firearms certificate in charge of maintaining all club guns up to 308 and 36 of my own up 270 cal and I got that position through knowing what I'm talking about not through listening to people that don't. Now go and buy some Vaseline and look after your rifle 😂😂😂😂
@@geoffankrett7012 Richard Jones's other channel 😉
What about th weihrauch hw100 mag
Best mag in the world.
Try firing an unregulated rifle in very cold weather... power is affected, i have seen this
I think I'd be sending it back if only for the stock dings
still not as good as the Air Arms s410 classic, im yet to find a gun to match it in terms of power and accuracy
The fuss you made of filling using a t- bar was laughable. Sorry but I do it all the time with zero problems or delays.
you have never loaded a hw100 then you just chuck the pellets in on them
I chose the Daystate Revere over this because its not single shot and the safety sucks and I found it heavy.
Beta males always mention the weight of guns.
Don't like that scope mount, but replacements are dime a dozen as the they say
How much does one of these go for in the USA?
Don't buy one get a hw100 instead your welcome
Your quick fill example was over exaggerated in my opinion I’ve find it very easy to use with a pump and even easier with a bottle.
Trigger safety really is no big deal for me. Lots better than an auto safety.
jos om
How many dollars can it be?
Surely Everyone knows to buy a weirach over airarms by now.
The hw100 isn't in the same league as the new s510R Ultimate sporter I've had both the ultimate is staying
Il take a hw over that any day
@@neilpaul5835 well said the hw100 is around 100 years old now and weighs as much as a panzer tank! Great guns though, but air arms leave em in the dust even my s410 superlite can outshoot a hw100 no problem
foam pipe insulatiom would solve the problem
Its not regulated and has a quick fill ! :)
Your typical UK pub man proper English guy
good on you giles for aquiring your air arms, but its a few points away from being anything near an ultimate sporter ! looks like they are (AA) deluded and kidding themselves. but it looks to be an ok rifle none the less.
Now the HW 100, thats a different animal entirely !
phil.
True story.
my dads got a hw 100 just dont like it , , ive had a few air arms they are just better all round !!!!
