Commonly known as the ultimate in air rifles, the Air Arms range is perfect for long-range hunting and target shooting.

 

Air Arms have combined the latest CNC engineering with high quality materials to establish themselves as one of the Great British air gun manufacturers.

 

The parent company of Air Arms, NSP Engineering LTD is a precision engineering company established over 30 years ago.  In the early 1980’s NSP manufactured and marketed their own range of air guns – and Air Arms was born.

 

In the 1990’s NSP decided to concentrate solely on manufacturing.  With NSP’s wide range of design and development experience and equipment, and the fact that Air Arms have always invested in the latest technology, growth for the following 10 years has been almost 300%.

 

Air Arms intuitively design rifles that air gun enthusiasts love to shoot.  This is not surprising when all of their air guns have been designed with the cooperation of many well-respected shooters, some of who are accomplished engineers in their own right.  Air Arms would not be in the respected position it is today without this invaluable expert advice.

Wolverine 303 - Launched at the 2012 Shot Show, Las Vegas, USA


Daystate develop the big bore sporting air rifle in response to great demand from airgun hunters world wide.

Enter the new Wolverine 303 -

Airgun hunters have for a long time, enjoyed the benefits of using an air rifle to take small game, and for pest control.

Airguns are unique, with low cost of ammunition, the potential for lower power outputs than firearms making them safer within buildings and hazardous locations, and less environmental impact (noise).

Until now, airgun hunters wishing to hunt for medium sized game have had to change to full bore rifles or shotguns.

With the introduction of the Wolverine 303 there is now an airgun alternative !

Featuring a new specially designed .303 airgun bullet, the Wolverine 303 with its 5 shot rotary magazine and muzzle energy of up to 120 ft lbs is more than capable of taking larger game species at sensible airgun ranges

mk4 daystate

in Daystate

In the world of airguns, there has never been anything quite like Daystate’s patented electronic system. Building on the ground- I breaking MK3 system, the latest Map Compensated Technology (MCT ) that’s fitted to the new MK4 iS models turns a revolutionary system into an evolutionary one, providing total shooting control from the advanced software programs that power it.

The MK4 wears the crown for being the most advanced PCP air rifle on the planet. A new information screen brings into view the state-of-the-art technology hidden inside, and also gives the shooter ultimate control via its user-programmable options.

The MCT pulse beating at the heart of the MK4 action generates a lock-time - the period between the squeeze of the trigger and the pellet’s acceleration along the barrel - that’s up to five times faster than a conventional, mechanically-driven PCP. Additionally, the shot-to-shot consistency is effectively digitally-regulated courtesy of the MCT’s sophisticated electronic monitoring system.

Whilst the phenomenally-fast firing cycle makes it easy to get outstanding down-range results, the MK4 is backed by numerous other accuracy enhancing features, from an electronically-operated, fully-adjustable two-stage trigger to a target-grade barrel that free-floats within a full-length, sound-moderating shroud. Yet despite the cutting edge technology within, the MK4 is also a stunning looker, whether you opt for it in Sports (S) or Sports Thumbhole (ST) livery. Created by top stock designer, Gary Cane and crafted in high-grade Turkish walnut by world renowned stockmaker, Minelli of Italy, the MK4 models handle as beautifully as they look.

The on-board LCD information screen of the iS models (MK4 and Air Wolf MCT) gives you an instant report on the rifle’s status, showing the cylinder’s air pressure, which of the two pre-set power settings it’s been programed with, the current shot-count, the voltage of the battery and how many shots remain in the 10-shot magazine.

Besides showing this working data, the information screen is used to set the rifle’s eight shooting modes. Using the trigger to navigate through the options, you can quickly and easily program your Daystate’s computerised operating system to ensure the rifle performs in exactly the way you want it to for any given shooting assignment.

RESULTS MORE EASILY

The Air Wolf MCT... the ultimate in high-tech hunting air rifles that features the very latest in on-board refinements to make it easier than ever to achieve great shooting results.

This latest version of Daystate’s highly popular hunting and Hunter Field Target competition rifle now contains significant upgrades on former Air Wolf models. It includes Daystate’s patented Map Compensated Technology (MCT) as well as a new LCD information screen to keep you informed on the exact status of your rifle. Battery power for the electrical system is delivered courtesy of a Ni-MH (Nickel-metal Hydride) rechargeable battery that provides enough power for thousands of shots. (Battery charger supplied.)

Internally, the Air Wolf MCT now features a new Harper Patent valve system for increased efficiency as well as a market-leading shot capacity. This also provides the potential for high power if required. Combined with the full length, sound-moderating barrel shroud, the patented electronic system makes the Air Wolf MCT a near-silent rifle to shoot in the field. Supplied as standard in Carbine length - complete with a threaded adaptor to suit Daystate’s Airstream IV carbon fibre Reflex silencer - the Air Wolf is also available in a full-length Rifle model, as well as a high-power version.

The ambidextrous thumbhole stock fitted to the Air Wolf is made in Italy by world renowned stockmaker, Minelli, and incorporates only the finest, selected Turkish walnut.

Also available in some countries is the Air Wolf MVT model. This features an on-board chronoscope and is programmed to allow the shooter to dial in the exact velocity required (upwards from 400 feet per second), adding another dimension of adjustability when required.

The open sniper style turrets are calibrated to 1/4 MOA per click. To adjust the turrets the whole assembly is pulled up to unlock, then once adjusted they can be securely locked into position by pushing the turret back down.

The turrets are simply reset to "0" by loosening a hex screw on the top.All Hawke Sidewinders come with a large 4" side wheel, to enhance range finding, a sunshade for bright conditions, and screw-in lens covers to protect the outer lenses.
