Overview
Built for shooters who want a traditional rifle-style airgun with familiar handling, this spring-piston, single-shot model pairs an extendable underlever with a sliding breech cover for the loading cycle. It is offered with a rifled steel barrel, fixed front sight, and a rear sight that adjusts for windage and elevation, giving it a straightforward setup for target practice and range use. The ambidextrous hardwood stock and two-stage, non-adjustable trigger keep the design classic, while the manual safety adds an extra layer of control. With velocity listed up to 1000 FPS in .177 and up to 800 FPS in .22, it is suited to shooters who value a conventional platform and are comfortable with a manual cocking system.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Single-shot operation means each shot must be loaded individually, so it is not suited to high-volume shooting.
- The spring-piston underlever design requires manual cocking before each shot, which adds effort compared with multi-shot systems.
- Velocity is listed differently by caliber, with up to 1000 FPS in .177 and up to 800 FPS in .22, so performance depends on the version selected.
- The two-stage trigger is non-adjustable, which limits user tuning options.
