At least it probably will exist unlike daystate’s smart or dumb (whatever they called it) versions of the alpha/delta wolf that don’t have the built in chrono or auto tune. Guns I think they just made up.

Yeah, maybe the market for this gun is a more affordable AA option. 3 mags is definitely a bonus too.
To be fair the price I found was for a poplar(or whatever they use), not a walnut stock. The walnut was £100 or so, more.

I think you may have done Euros, rather than Pounds(used in UK). I just looked and it is a $1345 conversion.

I'm with you, a high shot count is what I would prefer the most. I shoot pellets, and don't seek out ultimate power. My old 410SL only gets like 30 shots on a fill, but I still love it. I guess the regulated AA guns get around 50, so that is an improvement, but yeah, 100 shots would be awesome.I get it, bottles are not the nicest looking guns, but as of now with the tech available to us it is the only way to get high shot count or high power and decent shot count. It might not be a concern for those who shoot from a table with an air source nearby. When they come up with the 7000-10.000 psi version and compressor we can meet both shot and keep small tubes. For now now tanks are the only solution. Its time for something really new. They could at least put out something with 300 bar fill. I own AA300-400 and 500 series. Im not power hungry at all- shot count is what I care about. Btw- best looking gun FX put out was the Taurantula. Google pics of the old AA XM100, another classic. Added a pic below.
Air Arms SM100 & modified XM100
Here is the base model of the Air Arms 100 Series, the SM100: This example was acquired only a few days ago courtesy of forum member @Devondumpling . It isn't in perfect cosmetic condition, but given it dates from around 1990 and has been used as a field rifle it is in good honest used...airgunforums.co.uk

They dont have anything to compete in the US market, they are loosing a lot of sales to the ugly guns lol. Really would like to see a version from them. Robert Lane regs make a hammer debounce which may add some shot count. Not sure if anyone has tried tunning one for efficiency.

For me, someone that usually shoots off hand, the weight is a burden. It's the trigger, cocking action, barrel, stock, regulator consistency and craftsmanship that make it accurate.

Weight does make a difference, especially where it is on the gun. There's a reason Olympic shooters add weights to their guns.

I don't care for left side mag loading.... but i do like the AA S500XS lineup as they can load from the right if using SSL or Rowan manual mags.

I'm not an Olympic shooter, and for my purposes, the S510 is too heavy. By that same token, I got rid of my Lelya 2.0 because it was too light for the trigger it has (among other reasons).

For a company that produced state of the art pcp's, 20 years ago, this is very disapointing.
At this rate, I seriously doubt that we will ever see simple features like 40+FPE, and Foster fittings on new Air Arms products.
C'mon Air Arms....Roll up your sleeves, put on your thinking caps, get busy and show us your DNA....BEFORE its too late.
I feel like I am watching the Titanic sink.
Sad.

The name...."CORE".
Makes me wonder if it might feature interchangeable, larger caliber barrels, with smaller shot count mags?

I’m regressing and bought a UK specs S400 from Europe.
For my type of shooting and 25-yard range, 12FPE or lower is ideal

After this coming tax season, I may very well buy one of these in 22. Hopefully by then there will be enough reviews to show if they're worth it or not.
Anyone know if these are being produced in the UK, or are these coming from the new factory in India? If India, the price should be a few hundred less IMO.

In the video, they are embossed as "Made In England".
For $1300, I expect that Air Arms will continue to deliver their typical high quality and craftmanship.
