I have a post about buying AA S510 but I have looked at the FX Royale 400. FX is about 200 more dollars than the AA S510 Ultimate Sporter. Which one do I buy and why
This is a lot of money to spend on an Air gun and I want to make the best choice. Looking for an accuracy and
consistency . Please reply because I don't know much about which brand is best for me. I have very limited experience with air guns.

No hands on for the FX but love my S510 .177 great rifle and out to 50 yards she is a tack driver

What are you going to use it for? Target, hunting plinking?
and in what caliber are you looking at?

I personally like the fact that the 400 is lighter weight,
I believe they come with regulator and CF bottles standard now so that is a big plus,
you will get more shot per fill from the 400 but it doesn't have the classic rifle lines of the S510 if you like those...

personally I would most likely go with the FX but you will probably be very happy with either.

I will use it for hunting and I like to shoot paper just to see how good of a group I can shoot. It will be 22 cal.

You will be pleased with both rifles.Personaly I would buy the S-510 and I would invest the extra 200 usd in buying a quality scope.

Thanks for replying. Ordered the FX Royale. Will have it Friday. The regulator and the air capacity is what made the decision for me.

I do think you made the better choice

I have a 400 and my son has a 510 .
Both guns are awsome but I like the bigger tank on my fx and I like that the gun lets you know your out of pellets instead of waisting air to find out your empty

Enjoy it!Happy shooting!

Got FX Royale 400 this afternoon.Shoots good. Won't shoot Baracuda 21.14. JSB 18.13 shoot good.

After shooting FX some problems showed up. It had about 170 bar on gauge and it shot 789. That speed was fine. 200 bar fill only gave me797 to 805 FPS. At about 170 bar it was shooting about 843 and next shot was 888. Not grouping good at 50 yds at all. 25 yds not bad but not as good as I expected. AOA said to send it back and they would look at it. Really disappointed so far but maybe it will come back better. Hope so. My Benjamin Marauder 22 shoots .250 inch and smaller at 25 yds. at 900fps. Maybe I shouldn't have purchased another gun.

Bummer sounds like you must have gotten a dud

glad to here AOA is helping you out with it.
I've heard so many good reports on the fx 400 I'm thinking it must have been a flawed rifle...?

Scalf · « **Reply #13 on:** September 16, 2016, 09:37:12 PM »

It didn't seem to shoot nearly as good as I thought it should and the velocity was all screwed up. Sure hope it comes back better but they got their work cut out for it.

Dairyboy · « **Reply #14 on:** September 16, 2016, 09:59:48 PM »

That's disappointing always heard those royale/bosses were very reliable and proven guns hopefully they'll just send you another

Scalf · « **Reply #15 on:** September 16, 2016, 10:14:46 PM »

People on the Internet are claiming 890 to 925 FPS for 18 grain pellet. One half inch groups at 50 yds. That I would be happy with.

Scalf · « **Reply #16 on:** September 16, 2016, 10:17:34 PM »

I always seem to get a dud even when I think I am getting the the best.

Sfttailrdr46 · « **Reply #17 on:** September 16, 2016, 11:13:01 PM »

No FX rifles in my stable but very happy with my Air Arms S510 and Daystate Huntsman Regal XL

Scalf · « **Reply #18 on:** September 16, 2016, 11:24:52 PM »

Don't know right now what will happen with gun but it really not worthy. Took about 2 weeks to decide what to buy
I hope AOA takes care of me and I end up with a good shooting gun.

Hope they fix you up, nothing like buying a new gun and it doesn't work properly. You probably just got a lemon and your replacement will make you happy.
