The rifle is excellently made, lightweight and very compact. Due to the Carbine version, the air cylinder is shorter, which makes it easier to fill with a pump. The stock is nicely and carefully finished. The grip is very secure and comfortable.
Rifled air rifle in 4.5 mm caliber, falling into the category of the most advanced PCP (Pre-Charged Pneumatic) models available.
Pellets are propelled by compressed air stored in a permanently fixed pressure reservoir positioned beneath the barrel. A fully filled cylinder enables up to 60 shots on a single fill. Refilling can be accomplished via a dedicated manual or electric pump, or by using a diving cylinder. The package includes a specialized adapter compatible with both filling methods. A pressure gauge mounted at the base of the stock allows users to safely monitor air levels and prevents overfilling.
WARNING!!!
An external compressed air supply is necessary to charge PCP air rifles:
- a bottle system and a PCP filling kit are suitable for air transfer
- refilling with a hand pump is also possible
Injected or transferred air must be dried to prevent internal corrosion. The cylinder should always remain charged to approximately 30 BAR for self-sealing.
For the safety of both the user and the rifle, the cartridge is designed to automatically vent if the maximum fill pressure of 250 BAR is exceeded, ensuring surplus air is safely released. Overfilling the cartridge above the recommended limit can cause irreversible damage in severe cases.
Pellet loading is simple—just pull the bolt back, following the design of a small-bore rifle, and insert a pellet into the loading chamber. Pushing the bolt forward returns it to its firing position and makes the air rifle ready to shoot.
The air rifle’s main benefit is the total lack of recoil. As the pellet is discharged, recoil is virtually nonexistent. This absence of recoil significantly boosts accuracy, delivering remarkable precision. In terms of accuracy, the S-400 clearly outperforms even the highest quality spring-powered air rifles. The precision-rifled barrel is manufactured by the renowned German Lothar Walther factory.
The handguard, carved from beech wood, ensures a steady hold, while a specially designed rubber recoil pad conforms to the shooter’s body. The ergonomically shaped Monte Carlo stock provides excellent cheek support and alignment.
Mechanical iron sights are not equipped on this air rifle.
Trigger adjustment features allow for precise customization of pull length and trigger weight. The notably low total weight (2.48 kg) offers ease of aiming for enhanced shooting accuracy without exertion.
Exceptional build quality, robust performance, minimal recoil, and outstanding accuracy—firing this air rifle is a truly gratifying experience!
The air rifle includes a 2-year warranty.

Air Arms is a British brand operating since 1983, specializing in the production of spring and PCP air rifles. The company quickly gained recognition thanks to the TX200 model, which is still considered one of the best spring air rifles in the world. A distinctive feature of the brand is the use of cold-rolled barrels and precision adjustable trigger mechanisms. Air Arms was one of the first companies to introduce a multi-shot magazine system for PCP air rifles, which significantly increased the comfort and speed of shooting. The brand is associated with award-winning shooters such as Andy Calpin, a legend in the Field Target discipline, and James Osborne, a multiple champion and representative of the world's elite. Series such as the S400, S410, Pro Sport, and HFT 500 are recognized worldwide.

Great choice of rifle, top quality workmanship, extremely accurate.

Good equipment, as expected from AIR ARMS, great stuff.
-
The rifle's build is flawless... Packing by militaria.pl was also great. I'm still getting used to the rifle, but it's very good... + Adjustable trigger...
-
Top class airgun, as described - 240 m/s. JBS 4.50 works great, but I'll try QYS Streamlined. I recommend it!
-
Build quality, weight, and balance are perfect. The trigger is okay but could be improved. Accuracy is amazing. I haven't fully gotten used to this rifle yet, but it's already showing great potential. In the photo, the sixth group of 5 pellets after zeroing the scope. 27 meters, QYS streamlined pellets. Exact flew poorly.

This airgun is a great classic. The workmanship is excellent. Accuracy and operation are at a high and refined level. After purchase, you don't need to change anything. I mean, you can change things, but there's no need, you don't have to. After buying the 7-shot magazine, you have everything you need for a long time. I recommend it!

On the internet, this platform is sometimes called the 'Unicorn.' Rare in civilian circulation, here it's offered on a platter and in a version for home use, even in the living room :) The workmanship is almost perfect for a replica. The plastic texture, weight, and detail quality are all big positives. The control layout is very convenient. The ability to shoulder it during training is significant. Firing continuous or long bursts accurately is exceptionally easy. These are the advantages of the original that this replica offers.

Beautifully made, every detail fits perfectly, intuitive, powerful and accurate, I've dreamed of this all my life. It's an alternative to a sporting rifle, which always means much higher costs and a trip to the shooting range, but now I can have a small training in my garden! I RECOMMEND
