I seem to be leaning to one of these . Uragan I wanted will be on back burner.

I cant stand the plenum hanging down from the stock on the DRS, so between the two AA easy choice.
But a 600mm DRS Grade 2...

That’s a tough one. Two guns that appear to be the same in stature but are completely different. The AA is a better quality gun but the DRS is a cheaply built performer. It’s gonna come down to what you expect to shoot with and out of the gun.

Not sure what the difference is between the the 410 and the 510 but someone has the 410 on the classifieds for a 3rd of the price.

Thanks for the tip Jace. Just looked it up . Bolt thats mentioned to be stiff and not always secure.

AA - quality, less points of failure, sublime shooters, consistent
FX - More versatile, good looking, live by the seat of your pants brand
I would not be able to decide, probably would go with FX, purely because I am comfortable supporting their failures(easy to repair\service) with added adjustability and extra power for longer range shooting with slugs.
If you just want a rifle that works forever with no technical interference from yourself, go with AA, you will always enjoy it.

Agree…two different beasts. The Air Arms is going to be a lower powered compared to the 700 drs. Agree definitely better built. The drs will shoot slugs where the air arms might. All depends on your purpose.

Air Arms if you can accept that you can’t really mess with it. It does what it does and that’s it.
My 500 is wonderful.

Air Arms would be my choice, out of the box no BS , air it up ,load it sight in and start stacking pellets! I Have few AA rifles, all are lasers, High quality. My old AA 410 Extra FAC will shoot Slugs accurately to, recently just started testing H&N Slugs - with Great results.
I do like the looks of the FX DRS and it’s got Fair price. I’m just not sure I would be ready to go down the FX rabbit hole yet personally.

I can't believe that I have come to this, but I would go with the FX, the slug bug bites deep!
Edit: And with that magazine/plenum hanging down, don't waste your money on wood, it's never going to look good anyway. Get the tactical Drs.
