I too have an S400 Muti and a Talon .25 regulated. I am very much in the camp of ‘spoilt Westerner’
Just saying is all!! 😆
Being a typical spoilt westerner , as described by Pablouk, I have an AA S410 and an Air Force TSS 😀 LOVE THEM BOTH !! I think if it came down to a choice, I’d keep the S410..It’s just “more refined” Like was already stated , getan S510 ERB and you’ll have an Air Gun that will make you smile for many years to come……I have custom fit walnut TH skeleton stock on mine and it is a thing of beauty…whereas the TalonSS is in-your-face tactical, strictly business-looking!!! It is everybit as quiet and, lighte in weight , and just as accurate as the S410////TOUGH CHOICE TO MAKE..good luck with whichever way you decide!!
How does the Evanix Rainstorm stack up against the AA510?
What is the intended use for your future airgun? How are you going to fill it? 4500psi carbon fiber tanks are the best for our uses.
That being asked, I have an AA S410 in .22. It is the the full legnth ERB model. It is a beautiful and accurate airgun to be sure. The adjustable power knob is a handy feature. Mine shoots Crosman Premiers from a high of 950 down to 280 fps. That’s a big range. It is long and heavy for my tastes and someday I will explore a carbine version.
I also have a .25 Marauder which has become my goto gun. It shoots with power and accuracy…and it’s quiet! It too is long and heavy, but it kills very well. I have my assortment of vermin around here and really like how it anchors them. As always, be sure of your backstop!
Good Luck and have fun.
If ultimate power in 22, just shy of speed of sound with any given pellet, is what your after, then it is the Condor hands down.
If your more of a traditionalist with wood stocks and want superb easily obtainable accuracy, then the AA510.
Yes, you can get up there in price on the Condor Mods. WOK AR15 trigger guard mod, $100.00, LDC $200.00, caliber change $200.00. Airarcher conversion, $350.00, ETAC $110.00, it goes on and on, and at that rate a FXRoyale or a Daystate does not seem out of line.
In case you have not bought an air gun at all yet, you might want to consider this, a beautiful woman in a Corvette may end up being slightly cheaper in the long run, especially if you can get her a job. 😆

LOL,now what is that supposed to mean Pabs, 😆
i have not spent a dime on the condor after original buy, i have done all mods and tuning my self, you can get amazing accuracy out of the condor, but you will have to work for it, it does not come easy or it did not for me.
i cant say what the stock gun would shoot like after break in because i didn’t leave mine alone long enough to know. well actually i can say what it shot like at 25 yards after 500 or so pellets , it was very good , pellet on pellet, when i learned that the velocity had to be tuned to the pellet for best accuracy.
but later , after learning how to work that condor , it would shoot literally one hole at 50 yards, (with tuneing to the exzact sweet spot and allot of work)
but yes i can see that if you bought every mod and goodie for a condor , that a AA would be a sweet buy for sure. but you don’t have the power available out of the AA guns, but they would most likely shoot good easier.
i would love to have one of the AA guns, i have too many other hobbies and things to spend money on to buy all the air rifles that i would like to, so i make the condor do full range, bench rest rifle, 80 foot pounds hunting rifle, or 7 foot pounds of energy plinking rifle.
do you want to mod and tune and be able to change the gun around, or do you want to fill it and shoot it.
you don’t have the versatility of the air force guns with the AA guns , but i think it all boils down to personal preference,
If you want a near surgical tool, get the AA 510 if you have the dough. 😉
If you want decent accuracy AND big power, get the Condor.
If you are a typical spoilt Westerner, get both!
I love my S410 it is a tack driver.
Getting parts for Falcons right now might be difficult as well as service.
Get the AA510 and you will be smiling for years
