Work. Physical activity. Labor. These terms in an age of automatic this and power that are a bit anachronistic. When I was a kid, I always thought that working out in the gym during the summer break was a neat concept, but I was too tired from mixing cement and keeping the brick layer I worked f...

 

In the shooting sports world, firearms dominate the U.S. market thanks to Second Amendment protections. Globally, many regions heavily restrict or ban firearms—and even airguns face regulations in some places. But in the United States, where shooters have real options, PCP air rifles (pre-charg...

 

Options. It’s good to have options when you need them. Think of trying to change out a part on your car with only one tool.  All the bolts might be the same size, but one might require a deep socket, another might call for a ratchet wrench, and still yet another might call for a 12 point socket...

 

When we go to public events, especially firearm-centric events, we often hear comments that contain some of the following phrases: “Ah, those are airsoft guns”, “Oh, they sell BB guns”, “Pushaw, I have real guns…” Yes, it’s a big world and not everyone understands everything. And, unfortunately...

 

Welcome to the eighth chapter of Umarex USA’s Airgun 411 series, where we explore the dynamic world of airgun shooting. This installment focuses on small game hunting and pest control, two pursuits that blend precision, strategy, and practicality. Small game, such as rabbits and squirrels, offe...

In the world of airgunning, traditional spring and gas piston-powered pellet rifles stand as reliable, time-tested tools for target shooting, pest control, and small game hunting.

 

 

The old saying is that money doesn’t grow on trees.  Yes, the struggle is real and these days more and more people are struggling to pay their bills, let alone pick up some new gear for their hobbies. Inflation and stagnant wages are tag-teaming us average Joe's to cause pain.  One of the nice...

Forgive me for coming up with such a creative title. Sometimes you just can’t church it up and you are left with being boring and succinct. As succinctly as possible, it would appear that the topic of this blog will deal with comparing PCP air rifles to each other and then, those rifles to the common .22LR rimfire caliber. If you have gathered that much, thank you.

Sitting quietly in the pages of our catalog is a little rifle that was introduced about 4 years ago. Well, introduced isn’t the right word. It would be better to say that the Fusion 2 was re-introduced as the successor of the original Fusion. While these two rifles did share the same power source, 12g CO2, and both shot .177 caliber pellets- the revamped Fusion 2 utilized a 9-shot rotary magazine and slick bolt action. Not to mention the CO2 tube was vastly improved as well.

And it’s about time. Yes, the Gauntlet 2SL in .22 and .25 have arrived. In case you need a reminder, the Gauntlet has historically used a bolt action system, but now the new generation of the Gauntlet is equipped with a side lever. We were able to introduce the .30 caliber Gauntlet SL earlier in the year and it was a huge success. We sold out in a short period of time and have been awaiting a restock. Moreover, the people who chose the G30 SL loved the side lever and love the big 24 cubic inch tank and consistent performance the Gauntlet is known for.
