Airgun Shooter

GO SMALL OR GO HOME!

There are times when all of us have thought we could do with a smaller airgun. Most often that is when we have grown tired of hauling a long, heavy rifle miles and miles across the fields or through the woods, especially when there is other essential gear to carry.

Switch to a diminutive airgun like the Brocock Ranger XR and you’ve got a rifle that’s light to carry and can be stowed in a backpack, leaving your hands free to lug the rest of your kit. It can even be stashed under the seat of a truck by those who use a 4x4 to travel across the fields and through the woods.

Compact airguns seem to be getting smaller and smaller, and the Ranger XR certainly is tiny. But this cool carbine takes the concept much further by folding in half to greatly reduce its proportions in transit. Its name was inspired by red squirrel ranger Jerry Moss, and I can certainly imagine this little PCP proving very handy on his extensive pest control rounds.
