Part 1: Air Arms S510 vs. Steyr H5A Scout vs. Taipan Veteran Long .22 Cal Shootout

A Head to Head to Head comparison of the Air Arms S510 Carbine (regulated), Steyr Hunting 5 Automatic Scout, and Taipan Veteran Long. All rifles are in .22 caliber. The review/comparison has been broken down into 2 parts. This is Part 1 which includes non-accuracy related content. Part 2 focuses on accuracy and precision testing and comparisons.

Have had the barrel silencer threaded on the Steyr.

That scout has a beautiful grain in the stock.

Interesting video, but you gave the Steyr 0 point for the ability to adjust the velocity, then you said you wore out the hammer spring... adjusting the velocity?

[@ajarnmichael1]

The Steyr can't be adjusted without taking the gun apart. Silencer, air cylinder and stock need removed to reach the hammer spring adjuster. I awarded points for adjustments that could be made to the gun without disassembly. An FX Impact would score a 10 because you can adjust the regulator, transfer port, and hammer spring all from the outside of the gun. No disassembly required. Air Arms can adjust the transfer port externally, and the Veteran can adjust the hammer spring externally which is why each were awarded 5/10 points.
