New F40 Rifle, XP4 Pistol from Stoeger Airguns

Stoeger Airguns introduces a pair of airguns hat deliver performance and value for shooters of all levels. Whether they use airguns as an affordable option for keeping their shooting skills sharp or whether they enjoy the challenge and excitement of hunting small game, these airguns are long on features for an enjoyable day on the range or in the field.

The new Stoeger Airguns F40 rifle is a fixed-barrel rifle with underlever cocking, available as a rifle only or as part of a rifle/optics combo. Airgun shooters know that underlever airguns offer many

advantages over break-barrel airguns, including mechanical consistency of shots. With perfect

rigidity between barrel and receiver, the design enhances the rifle’s accuracy. Plus, there is

considerably less wear to the airgun’s most important areas – where the barrel meets the receiver

and at the hinge pin. And with the extra weight of the cocking lever ideally located beneath the barrel, the rifle is steadier and inherently more accurate.

Available in both .177 and .22 caliber configurations, the new Stoeger Airguns F40 rifle features a powerful spring piston, a two-stage adjustable trigger, an automatic, ambidextrous safety and a hardwood stock. The rifle produces up to 1,200 fps velocities with the .177 caliber (up to 1,000 fps with lead) and up to 1,000 fps with the .22 caliber version (up to 800 fps with lead). MSRP for the rifle only is $199 for both calibers. The rifle/optics combo package includes a 3-9×40 riflescope and has an MSRP of $229.

Stoeger Airguns’ new XP4 pistol is designed for easy, ambidextrous handling. Featuring a light, ergonomic, composite frame, this .177 caliber airgun features a recoiless, single-shot, pre-compressed propulsion technology for easy shooting and increased accuracy. Equipped with a two-stage trigger and automatic safety, the pistol also has high-vis, precision fiber-optic sights with windage- and elevation-adjustable rear sights. There is also an integrated slide and accessories rail for accessories mounting.

The XP4 pistol produces velocities up to 410 fps (360 fps with lead) and has a sleek, black synthetic finish. The MSRP of the new XP4 pistol is $89.

All Stoeger Airgun models feature a best-in-class 2-year warranty.

TalonSS AirForce Airgun: Silent Hunter and Sniper Trainer

The TalonSS pre-charged pneumatic air rifle from AirForce Airguns is flexible and fun. This state-of-the-art airgun technology can be adjusted for high velocity or low noise and extra shots. The TalonSS is a highly accurate rifle which can entertain by punching small holes in paper or small game hunting.

Airguns are available in a wide range of price and performance levels from low cost, low power BB guns to multi thousand dollar match grade guns. AirForce guns combine features of the best guns with exceptional value. They rank just below the top-of-the-line competition guns in performance, but are priced much lower. These American made beauties cost about half of what you’d pay for a comparable gun made in Europe.

The fire control system features an automatic safety with the safety release inside the trigger guard like an M-1 Garrand. A light two-stage trigger makes the Talon shoot like a sniper rifle. A rail mounting system allows for mounting optics and accessories.

My gun came with an AirForce 4-16×50 scope, mounting rails and scope rings. It was a simple matter to mount the scope and sighting-in was easy using the external adjusting knobs for windage and elevation. The gun comes with a great DVD which details loading and zero procedures.

Pre-charged pneumatic airguns like the Talon SS can use regular rifle scopes. Spring powered air guns have an odd forward recoil from the movement of their piston that will destroy the reticles on conventional rifle scopes requiring the use scopes specifically made for airguns.

Shooting this rifle is noting short of amazing. When you pull the trigger, it releases a hammer which opens the air valve firing the pellet out of the barrel. You can feel a short snap when the hammer opens the valve but there’s no felt recoil.

When shooting a firearm, there are many variables: bullet weight, powder charge, and case volume. Shooting a particular cartridge is very consistent. Because pre-charged pneumatic airguns use compressed air, the pressure in the air tank decreases with each shot. AirForce guns use a trick to minimize that variable.

Here’s how it works. Pulling the trigger releases the hammer propelled by a coil spring into the valve on the tank. That pushes the valve open releasing a charge of air to accelerate the pellet down the barrel. The pressure of the air in the tank then overcomes the force of the hammer and the force of the spring to once again seal the valve. As the pressure in the tank goes down, it doesn’t close the valve quite as quickly, thus allowing slightly greater volume of air to propel the pellet. This brilliant self-regulating mechanism provides great consistency shot-to-shot through

There’s one more feature of the Talon which gives you control over the length of time the valve stays open and hence the speed at which you’re driving the pellet. On the left side of the gun, just forward of the grip, there is micro-adjustment for power level. This modulates the sound level, performance, and number of shots you get from a tank of air. To shoot in your basement or in your backyard you need a bullet trap designed for a .22 caliber gun and you will want to dial your Talon down to the lowest and quietest setting.

The Talon SS has a removable 490cc air tank which also serves as the stock. It has a maximum air pressure of 3,000 psi. There’s a built-in blow-out valve which prevents excessive pressure.The Talon can be filled with a hand pump, scuba tank or an air compressor without removing it. Scuba tanks relatively inexpensive and easy to refill. You can even rent scuba tanks. Let your local dive shop handle compressor maintenance and noise.

I am a scuba diver so I already had a tank and a refill card at my local dive shop. After three hundred rounds the pressure only dropped from 3,000 psi to about 2,500 psi, plenty of pressure to keep shooting. The Talon’s air tank is easy to fill. Attach the fill hose to the tank, connect it to the fitting on the Talon, close the bleed valve and crack the scuba tank valve. You should fill slowly but it only takes a minute. When full, close the tank valve, open the bleed valve, disconnect the fitting and you’re ready to shoot.

The SS in the name means you get an integral suppressor and a 12″ barrel, The short barrel makes it light and the integral 4″ suppressor makes it quiet. ATF is not involved in this because it is not a “firearm”. An innovative muzzle cap that strips away air turbulence and reduces discharge sound levels. Even quieter if you adjust the power down.

With quality pellets like the SIG Wraith, you can expect sub-minute accuracy and good terminal effects. I like to use reactive targets from Concealed Carry INC. They don’t tear like paper targets and the hits are easy to see.

Made in Texas, the Talon SS features a 12 inch Lothar Walther barrel (1:16 twist). Space-age polymers and aircraft-grade aluminum make the AirForce Talon SS light and strong.

There are many ways to configure this gun using rail-mounted accessories. Not sure which caliber to get? Extra barrels are available, and changing caliber is quick and easy and doesn’t require any special tools. If you replace the barrel with a longer one, you will get more velocity but the gun will not be as quiet.

Umarex Hammer .50 caliber Air Rifle! American Made

The Umarex Hammer™, the American-made .50 caliber air rifle that has become the most powerful production airgun on the planet. The Hammer has been conceived, designed and engineered in America and is being made in Fort Smith, Arkansas at Umarex USA.

The sheer energy and three full-power shots delivered by the .50 caliber Umarex Hammer™ is achieved by its proprietary, patent-pending, Lightspeed™valve. The innovative engineering used to design this internal mechanism coupled with a .50 caliber, 550 grain lead slug is responsible for the generation of its 705 foot pounds of energy at the muzzle. Almost as impressive, it only takes two pounds of effort to operate its straight-pull bolt. This short, effortless, two-inch action is all it takes to cock the rifle and advance the magazine.

Umarex USA’s engineers produced multiple prototypes of various mechanisms for the Hammer during nearly a two-year process that has resulted in the most innovative production big bore hunting air rifle. The soul of the Umarex Hammer is powered by our most essential element—air. 4,500 pounds per square inch of compressed air fill its on-board carbon fiber cylinder to a capacity of 24 cubic inches. The Hammer’s Lightspeed™ valve, coupled with a precision regulator instantly pulses a measure of air compressed to 3,000 psi, behind the projectile. This innovative patent-pending system efficiently propels a .50 caliber 550 grain lead slug at a muzzle velocity of 760 feet per second and a 250 grain slug at over 1,000 feet per second.

The Umarex Hammer™ has a multitude of useful and user-friendly features that both hunters and shooters appreciate. In addition to being the most powerful airgun delivering three regulated, full-power shots, it is the only production big bore air rifle that offers multiple shots from its patent-pending chamber magazine—other big bore air rifles require the insertion of a round into its chamber after every shot fired. Unique to the Hammer is the utilization of three safeties—a conventional hammer block, a magazine lockout that prevents it from discharging without a magazine inserted, and a trigger block safety. “You won’t find safety mechanisms to this extent on any other big bores. The Umarex Hammer is the most powerful production air rifle in the world, so we charged our engineers, from the beginning, to incorporate safety mechanisms that would help prevent unintended discharges.” said Steve Lamboy, Senior Director of Strategic Development at Umarex USA.

Umarex USA collaborated with PolyOne Corporation, a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions, in the design, engineering and material selection for the stock of the Umarex Hammer™air rifle. As a result, the stock, forearm and other key polymer components are produced from Nymax™, an advanced polymer that withstands the rugged trials of outdoor hunting and shooting. Designers from the IQ Design group at PolyOne added three locations into the rifle’s forearm that accept M-LOK accessories, and incorporated a sling stud into the lower half of the rear stock. Together, the advanced polymer materials and innovative design, including smooth edges and tight-fitting joints, form a modern and functional stock for the Hammer rifle that is both shooter-friendly and made to last. Richard Turner, President of Umarex USA, Inc, said, “In working with PolyOne, we targeted certain design and performance aspects of the polymer portions of the Hammer. The PolyOne team embraced our concept and the performance targets and worked hand-in-hand with our product development team to develop specific options that met our design, weight and most importantly performance goals.”

The Umarex Hammer™ is equipped with additional features that include a standard AR Magpul grip, Quick Disconnect Foster fitting to fill the onboard air cylinder, externally visible air pressure gauge, a button-rifled .50 caliber barrel, and 8.5-inches of Picatinny rail. MSRP $799.99.

SIG SAUER® Introduces the 1911 We The People BB Pistol

SIG SAUER is pleased to introduce the 1911 We The People BB Pistol – its newest semi-automatic, CO₂-powered airgun and first air pistol with a functional takedown lever for field stripping. Modeled after the exceptionally popular 1911 We The People full-size centerfire pistol, which is inspired by a rich, patriotic history, the BB pistol version of this uniquely-American handgun features the same custom grips adorned with 50 stars (25 per side) that represent each state of the Union. A distressed finish on the stainless-steel slide and frame includes patriotic engravings, such as 13 stars atop the slide and “WE THE PEOPLE” and “1776” on the slide flats.

“This new 1911 We The People BB Pistol is as close to an exact replica of its centerfire counterpart as possible,” said Joseph Huston, Vice President and General Manager of the SIG SAUER Airgun Division. “The weight and feel are virtually identical, and this BB pistol version features our first drop magazine in an air pistol. It is also our first model that is field strippable, for maximum authenticity.”

This high-performance air pistol also features a full-metal slide and frame with realistic blowback action of the slide and a 17-round, drop magazine which holds 4.5mm steel BBs. The slide remains open after the last BB is fired. The 1911 We The People BB Pistol also fits in current 1911 holster systems and has the same weight and controls of a traditional 1911 firearm, making it ideal for training. It also has a functioning grip safety.

The 1911 We The People BB Pistol is single action only (SAO) and has the same skeletonized trigger as the centerfire model. The front and rear sights are fixed, and the 12gr CO₂cartridge is housed in the drop magazine for quick and easy reloading. The 1911 We The People BB Pistol shoots up to 340 fps; however, velocity results may vary depending on temperature and altitude.

MSRP: $119.99

SIG SAUER ASP20: High-Performance Break-barrel Air Rifle

The SIG SAUER ASP20 is the company’s new high-performance break barrel air rifle. Available in .177 and .22 calibers, this suppressed single-shot, Advanced Sport Pellet air rifle delivers terminal energy and accuracy with the lightest cocking effort in its class, making it ideal for hunting small game.

Sig has a reputation for exceptional performance. This gun does not disappoint as it includes a number of key features which improve barrel lockup, cocking effort and trigger adjustment. The ASP20 is the first SIG airgun made in the United States.

SIG engineers developed an adjustable two-stage match-grade trigger system like noting else on the market. The ASP MatchLite trigger can be adjusted to break at one of eight different pull weight – from 2.5 to 4 pounds – allowing users to select the break that’s most comfortable for them. ]

The trigger is very smooth and breaks at 4mm, regardless of the pull weight selected. The pull weight is easily adjustable using a setscrew easily accessible at the rear of the compression tube.

Thanks to SIG’s proprietary GlideLite™ cocking mechanism, the ASP20 cocks at 33 lbs. (most comparable airguns require 48 – 52 lb. of cocking force.) The ASP20 is easier to leverage because of its large action and short length. This brings the pivot point closer to the body, making the air rifle much easier to cock and improving balance.

SIG’s proprietary breech-locking system precisely aligns the barrel to the action. This eliminates barrel droop and improves accuracy by bringing the barrel back to exactly the same position every time. SIG is making its own precision barrels at SIG’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility here in New Hampshire

The ambidextrous safety of the SIG SAUER ASP20 is located outside the trigger guard, not inside. The safety location makes it easy to engage using either the right or left hand.

Velocity vs. Muzzle Energy

Powered by a gas piston, the .177 caliber ASP20 delivers 20 foot-pounds (ft-lbs) of energy with muzzle velocity of 1021 feet per second (fps) using a 8.64 grain lead pellet while the .22 caliber delivers 23 ft-lbs of energy and a muzzle velocity of 841 fps with a 14.65 grain lead pellet. A common misconception among many is that high muzzle velocity makes for a better air rifle. In actuality, foot-pound muzzle energy is a more accurate gauge of the power of air rifles than the speed at which a projectile comes out of the barrel. Down-range accuracy and retained energy are better with a heavier projectile leaving the barrel at subsonic speed rather than an impractically-lightweight projectile leaving the barrel at a supersonic speed of 1400+ feet per second.

The .177 caliber ASP20 air rifle is ideal for hunting small game such as squirrels, crows and rodents while the .22 caliber model is well suited for hunting slightly larger animals such as woodchucks and groundhogs. The ASP20 has a SIG SAUER rifled steel barrel and is available with either a synthetic or wood stock. The SIG SAUER Whiskey3 ASP 4-12×44 Adjustable Objective (AO) riflescope, designed to handle the extreme bi-directional recoil of air rifles, will also be available for the ASP20 in May 2018.

World’s First Frangible BB Ammo from Air Venturi

Air Venturi has released the revolutionary new Dust Devil BBs, the world’s first frangible .177 caliber BB. 10% faster than traditional steel BBs, Dust Devils shatter on impact with hardened targets for reducing ricochets and providing an overall safer shooting experience.

“Made right here in the USA, this new patent pending ammo is designed for dynamic shooting sessions where shooters don’t have to worry about ricochet,” says Paul Milkovich, Air Venturi’s Director of Business Development. “While frangible ammo has been popular with firearm shooters for decades, Air Venturi is the first company to produce a BB that leaves ricochets in the dust. Dust Devils are BBs perfected and we’re sure backyard plinkers and indoor shooters will take notice.”

Dust Devil BBs disintegrate into tiny fragments that safely crumble and fall, instead of sending rounds bouncing back at the shooter. Its proprietary blend of special alloys create a round that shoots 10% faster and is completely lead-free. Adding to Air Venturi’s wide assortment of air guns, airsoft guns and ammunition, Dust Devil BBs will be available beginning in March 2018.

For additional information on the new Air Venturi frangible ammo, contact Air Venturi Marketing Manager, Kristen Coss by email: [email protected]
