Air Arms back in stock!

Received a fresh shipment from Air Arms in the UK!

We have back in stock the CZ made Air Arms S200 Target detuned below 500fps so a firearms license is not required! A beautiful target/plinking/youth/backyard PCP. Incredibly accurate at a great price.



Also, just received the updated S510 in carbine length with extended airtube for increased shot count. We will get a chance in the next few days to provide some real world numbers.
First you will find the S510 Carbine .22 cal in the Super-lite ambidextrous poplar stock. This carbine rifle matched with the super-lite stock makes for a remarkably versatile hunting rifle.

Here is the elite carbine version with walnut thumbhole stock and adjustable buttpad


JSB made Air Arms pellets have also been re-stocked as well as TX200's and Pro Sports in .177 cal

Long Gun Registry - 1995 - 2012

As some of you may or may not know the Canadian long gun registry is no longer in effect.
This simply means Non-Restricted firearms no longer have to be registered to a business or individual and on your next purchase we just need to confirm you have a valid PAL license and complete the transaction.

More info can be found on the RCMP's website

A customer wanted us to make sure his new Air Arms S510 .25 calibre was shooting accurately out of the box......30-shots later @ 30 yards with JSB Exact Jumbo's 25.4 grains confirmed ...Yes!
Always impressed with accuracy these rifles deliver.

Browning Leverage Combo



New for 2012 is the Browning Leverage underlever air rifle. Currently available in .22 calibre, this single-shot spring action rifle has the added benefit of a fixed barrel which greatly increases accuracy and the underlever action aids in decreasing the cocking effort.

This model has been released by Umarex USA with the infamous Browning name attached and is the third product in their Browning line. The rifle is manufactured in China and is packaged with a decent 3-9x40 scope with adjustable objective and a set of weaver rings as the Weaver/Picatinny scope rail has replaced a standard 3/8" dovetail rail commonly found on airguns.

The rifle is also equipped with a nice set of fiber optic front and rear sights which is quite common on most guns these days. 
Automatic safety is engaged once the rifle is fully cocked and is located just in front of the trigger.

The wood stock is ambidextrous but does have a raised right hand cheekpiece and a nicely fitted rubber recoil pad with a small Browning logo engraved on the left hand side is a nice touch.

As with most fixed barrel air rifles accuracy is improved and the same goes for the Leverage. Most inexpensive break barrel rifles packaged with a scope such as the Ruger Air Hawk, Crosman Quest, Gamo Varmint Hunter etc. tend to take a little work to get shooting right. It only took me 10 shots from the Leverage to get the scoped zeroed at 20 yards while it was still dieseling from the factory oil.
The 10 shot group below left me impressed with accuracy so far!


Velocity for the .22 calibre model is rated at 820 ft/sec with a standard lead pellet. We tested the rifle with JSB Exact 15.9gr pellets and received these results:
1- 717.9                         
2- 727.2
3- 722.7
4- 728.6
5- 732.3                 
6- 717.8
7- 715.5
8- 721.3
9- 729.4
10- 725.2

Overall the Browning Leverage seems to be a well shooting rifle that will most likely outperform other similar priced airguns. The 3-9x40 scope with adjustable objective is a nice improvement over 4x32 models with fixed objectives that are slapped on. We did find the fit & finish to be a little harsh in some areas but is typically expected on a Chinese produced airgun.
