The RWS Model 56 Target Hunter by Diana!

noreply@blogger.com (Airguns of Arizona) — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 17:16:00 +0000

By popular demand, we are proud to offer the RWS Model 56 TH! While the US importer for RWS airguns did not add the Model 56 TH to their 2010 product lineup, we at Airguns of Arizona were able to convince them to allow us to special order, and are now able to offer this great product.

Besides sporting an ambidextrous thumbhole stock, the Model 56 TH is loaded with several new features to the German-made Diana line. The trigger assembly is the latest version with a lighter release range and ALL METAL components. That's right, it's an RWS rifle with a metal trigger! And to top it off...it also has a metal, resettable safety catch! Add to the list an adjustable butt pad and a barrel harmonic dampener, and you have an amazing recoiless rifle with practical purpose as a field target rifle or long range hunting tool.

Well done Diana! The RWS Model 56 TH is a huge step in the right direction. Not bad for a company that has been manufacturing airguns for 120 years!

Baikal IZH-46M Air Pistol

noreply@blogger.com (Airguns of Arizona) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 21:42:00 +0000

Just arrived...fresh out of Russia, the renowned match pistol...the IZH-46M.

A single stroke pneumatic powerplant with ample leverage for smooth and easy cocking, while maintaining 500+ fps in .177 caliber. The IZH-46M pistol is one of the best values in competition pistols, and also serves as a sporting and plinking pistol as well.

After getting tired of the lack of supply in the US on these pistols, we at Airguns of Arizona decided to go directly to the Russian Baikal factory for supply. Now, instead of the occasional few trickling in, we have them coming via freight by the hundreds. This also has given us the opportunity to import other models that were previously unavailable in the USA. Stay tuned for more on that!

Also, if you are thinking of adding a scope to the IZH-46M, don't forget to pick up an adaptor rail which leaves a Weaver base on the pistol.

JSB Exact Jumbo Monster .22 Pellets

noreply@blogger.com (Airguns of Arizona) — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 00:07:00 +0000

Generally, we equate Monsters with bad things like horror films and angry mobs with pitch forks and torches. However, the world leaders in pellet manufacturing ... JSB ... are changing the way we view Monsters!

Introducing the JSB Exact MONSTER in .22 caliber!!! Tipping the scales at 25.4 grains, these pellets show huge promise in high power airguns...specifically the magnum precharged pneumatics. While maintaining the pellet shape, the new Monster pellets take on a bullet-like appearance. This gives the pellets a better ballistic coefficient, and helps to retain downrange energy.

The new JSB Exact Monster pellets come from a manufacturer with a long standing reputation in the airgun industry as being the most consistent and accurate pellets available. It is no surprise that the new Monster's are specifically designed and tested thoroughly to be accurate in magnum .22 caliber airguns.

Brocock AimX Grand Prix

noreply@blogger.com (Airguns of Arizona) — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 23:48:00 +0000

The airgun market had a gap in the precharged sporting pistol market at the $500-$600 level. That is until now! Introducing the Brocock AimX Grand Prix pistol...

Weighing in right at 3 pounds, this comfortable pistol delivers 12 ft/lbs of energy in .22 caliber...perfect for target practice, plinking and varmint control in your back yard and beyond. The trigger is an adjustable 2-stage unit while the grip is ambidextrous for right or left handed shooters. The action is operated by releasing the locking lever, pulling the bolt back to cock the action, single loading the pellet of choice, and sliding the bolt closed in the locked position. It couldn't be more simple to use. The air cylinder is pressurized to 3000 psi using a standard Fosters style quick connect concealed nicely beneath the thread-on fill cover. Open sights are optional, and either version comes standard with an 11mm dovetail scope rail grooved into the receiver. Value, ergonomics and performance wrapped into one pistol equals the AimX Grand Prix, made in England by Brocock LTD! Available now...Click Here For More!

Haendler & Natermann Sport

noreply@blogger.com (Airguns of Arizona) — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 22:11:00 +0000

Direct from Germany without any private labels, we are proud to now offer the H&N line of pellets. In case you didn't know, Haendler & Natermann Sport (H&N for short) are the suppliers of pellets for Beeman under their Precision Airgun Pellets labels. Due to the long standing delays and spotty availability, we went after a direct line on pellets to keep supply coming. As a result, we may now offer new pellets which Beeman does not bring into the country. With that background, we introduce:

H&N Rabbit Magnum II pellets are designed for high power airguns. With a bullet-like shape, they have superior ballistic quality for down range energy retention. Translated...these pellets hit hard!!! For airguns with high energy, like precharged pneumatics, these pellets will perform well.

H&N Neue Spitz-Kugeln (New Spitz) pellets have a stable design for medium range shooting. Spring guns and precharged guns will shoot these New Spitz pellets. H&N states that they were designed with Silhouette shooters in mind. The tip shares the advantages of pointed and wadcutter design. With average weight in both .177 and .22 caliber, the H&N New Spitz are good for any airgun at common power levels.

Aside from these two new pellets to the US market, we have the popular Baracuda, Baracuda Match, and Field & Target Trophy pellets available as well. Click Here to View the Full Line of H&N Pellets.

Crosman Nitro Piston

noreply@blogger.com (Airguns of Arizona) — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 23:11:00 +0000

Crosman is stepping up their level in airgunning with the new Nitro Piston line of airguns. Replacing the coil spring with a gas-ram piston, the vibration and noise are greatly reduced, making for a quiet and smooth firing break-barrel airgun.

The Crosman Nitro Piston airgun is available in .177 or .22 caliber with two stock colors available in either caliber. The stock colors available are:

Carbon Fiber

Digital Camo

The stock design is comfortable for either right or left handed shooters, and the shrouded barrel serves two purposes as a cocking aid and a noise reduction device. Included with the Nitro Piston rifle is a Centerpoint scope and mounts.

Crosman has been doing an exceptional job with creating affordable airguns in categories which were previously dominated by expensive options. If you were thinking about getting a gas ram airgun, the Nitro Piston line is not only affordable, but seems to be an excellent value for the investment.

Introducing the first member of the Royale family...the FX Royale 400!

noreply@blogger.com (Airguns of Arizona) — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 00:14:00 +0000

Q: What do you get when two leading designers put their heads together on one project?
A: One amazing airgun!

The FX Royale 400 is built by FX Airguns in Sweden. Fredrik Axelsson is both the owner and designer of FX, and he pooled the knowledge of Ben Taylor in the making of the Royale series. Ben Taylor is the man who started and designed the Theoben rifles many years ago. He has since gained years of knowledge and experience in custom valving and precharged design. Combine that with FX's leading designs, and you have one very nice airgun.

Here's a quick rundown of the features:

Removable 400cc Bottle
Quick Fill Adaptor
Pressure Gauge
Side Lever Cocking Arm
12-Shot Magazine (16 in .177)
Integral Barrel Shroud
Thumbhole Stock in Walnut or Synthetic
Adjustable Butt Pad
2-Stage Adjustable Trigger

Many of these features are available on other rifles in production, but with the Royale, the words "Best available" should be inserted before each feature. This rifle is extremely nice, and a superb value for the money. But what of performance? Here is some of our test results:

35+ ft/lbs in .22 caliber
60 shots per fill in .22 caliber
1/2 inch groups at 50 yards

Good News for .25 Caliber Shooters - The RWS Superdome and Super-H-Point in .25!

noreply@blogger.com (Airguns of Arizona) — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 20:53:00 +0000

Up until recently, the US market has been short on the availability of .25 caliber pellets. Introducing the new line of RWS pellets in .25.

Now available are the Superdome .25 pellets, weighing in at 31 grains, these pellets will work well in a variety of high powered airguns. While they are similar in looks to the well-known Beeman Kodiak .25, they are in fact a completely different design.

Also available are the Super-H-Point .25 pellets, weighing in at 25 grains. These are designed with the hunter in mind, and are effective on small game, with rapid expansion from the hollow point design.

Both come packaged in tins of 200 pellets. Congratulations to RWS for bringing out additional .25 caliber pellets. We are now proud to offer .25 caliber ammo from several good quality sources!

Daystate Rangemaster .25 Pellets

noreply@blogger.com (Airguns of Arizona) — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 18:51:00 +0000

Daystate has developed an entirely new .25 caliber pellet design in the Rangemaster product range. With the Daystate Air Ranger 80 ft/lb rifle switching over from .223 caliber rimfire barrel to a more common .25 caliber airgun barrel, Daystate sat down with a leading British pellet designer and came out with the Rangemaster "TWENTYFIVE". Weighing in at a mere 36 grains, these pellets will perform exceptionally well at Magnum power levels. While they may shoot with some success in spring powered rifles, Daystate recommends them in magnum precharged rifles like the Air Ranger 80 ft/lb version. Just as Daystate is proud to offer an entirely British-made line of air rifles, they are equally proud to offer their Rangemaster pellets, which are also "Made in England". Quality pellets from the company who leads the British airgun industry!

noreply@blogger.com (Airguns of Arizona) — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 19:38:00 +0000

This DVD video makes a great addition to any airgun or shooting collection, and is a valuable tool for showing others the capabilities of modern airguns. Click Here for more information!

Daystate Rangemaster Pellets - Ballistically Superior By Design

noreply@blogger.com (Airguns of Arizona) — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 18:58:00 +0000

Expanding the Rangemaster pellet line, Daystate has added conventional .177 and .22 pellets which have been highly developed and tested to be ballistically more efficient than the pellets currently available. The new Rangemaster HE pellets are not just another rebranded pellet made under several badges. While the general accuracy is no better than the best pellets already being sold, the advantage comes in downrange accuracy under less than ideal conditions. Because of their superior design, the new Daystate Rangemaster High Energy pellets retain velocity better than conventional pellets, and give better results in windy conditions. UK writer, Nigel Allen, published an article entitled WIND CHEATER, a 3-page pellet review in the Airgunner magazine, describing in better detail the major advantages of the Daystate Rangemaster pellets.

Weihrauch HW35E - The Last "CLASSIC"

noreply@blogger.com (Airguns of Arizona) — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 20:40:00 +0000

If you are an airgunner of many years like each of us here, you have been around long enough to see a change in the build style and types of airguns made today. While many airguns are extremely nice today, they all lack that classic look and style of the past. That is, with one exception…

A highly experienced factory located in Mellrichstadt, Germany is responsible for designing and building many classic-sporting airguns. In the early years they were imported by Air Rifle Headquarters as HW models, and then by Robert Beeman in years to follow. Like many of the other “classics” these rifles have been taken out of production, with the blame placed on cost to build and low demand. Aside from the used market, these “classics” are not available for purchase, save one, the Weihrauch HW35E.

Sporting a very classic walnut stock, complete with grooved fore end, a white line spacer and grip cap as well as checkered grip panels, the Weihrauch HW35E is the last “classic”. So, what makes is so special? The HW35E sports a barrel lock-up device that was common in the early years to provide a break barrel spring gun with the strength and rigidity needed for competitive shooting. Popular models from the past that utilized this same concept were the Weihrauch HW55 and the Walther LG55 as well as many others. Today you do not see this design in use, as break barrel spring guns are now categorized as hunting rifles, not competitive rifles. The HW35E also has a precision-machined rear cylinder cap that is threaded into the spring cylinder rather than pinned in place.

We encourage you to take this opportunity to purchase and own a modern “classic” while they are still available. Judging by the pattern shown in all spring gun factories, quantity, not quality, is steering their production, and very few quality factories, like Weihrauch, are still building spring rifles.

Crosman Premier Pellets - From Box to Tin

noreply@blogger.com (Airguns of Arizona) — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 23:12:00 +0000

Effective immediately, Crosman has switched over from packaging the Premier .22 pellets in a 625 count brown box to packaging in a 500 count tin. Based on our visual inspection, the pellets are exactly the same, and the weights match up. However, what is lost is the fact that the boxed pellets are Die numbered, which means they are batched. The tins, like all of the Premier tins, are not batched in Die numbers. While the hardcore target shooters may be able to distinguish the difference, most average shooters will notice no difference in accuracy. The good news is that the new packaging costs less per pellet. We have them in available now.

For those who still want the boxed Premier .22, we were able to secure 300 boxes of the last available inventory. These are in stock now at the time of this news release, so act fast to secure your pellets. At best we can tell, Crosman will not make them in batched Die numbers again.

Air Conserving Pumper - The Benjamin 392ACP

noreply@blogger.com (Airguns of Arizona) — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 17:52:00 +0000

Springer Quiet, First-Class Sporter Trigger, and Full Power from 3 Pumps

Developed by Steve Woodward, the Benjamin ACP takes pump-up rifles to the next level. Utilizing unique Air-Conserving-Pumper (ACP) technology , the AoA Benjamin ACP requires less than half the pumping to achieve full power than the standard model. By installing a proprietary Hammer-Debounce-Device (HDD) in combination with other modifications, the usually wasteful pumper valve is made to conserve and recycle most of the stored air over and over, shot after shot. Charge and fire the rifle just once with the usual 8 full-power pump strokes, then subsequent shots require only 3 recharge strokes (on average) to achieve the same constant full power. This drastically reduces the shooter's time and effort between shots, allowing more shooting and less pumping. Accuracy also improves, because constant power means a constant MV and a consistent trajectory for the pellet. Plus, less air expenditure means less noise, so air conservation greatly reduces muzzle blast compared to a standard Benjamin's. To keep the rifle simple to use, the ACP incorporates an automatic pressure sensor device. This prevents both overcharging and undercharging the rifle - important because either one can cause power loss. Simply pump until the pressure sensor protrudes from beneath the stock, signalling that the rifle is fully charged, then load and shoot. Besides the innovative ACP valve design, the reknowned SuperSear trigger is also installed, improving the factory trigger geometry and providing a true 2-stage trigger with dramatically reduced pull weight and creep.
