I’ve been using Air Arms guns for over 20 years and have come to know their range very well, with my Year 2000 S410 holding pride of place in my collection. Typically, Air Arms guns are beautiful sporting rifles, with classic wooden stocks and elegant lines, so the Air Arms S510 TR on test came…

One of the many great things about airgunning as a sport is that it offers so many opportunities to enjoy yourself, and collecting functioning replicas must be near the top of the list. Just think, you can own James Bond’s Walther PPK or Dirty Harry’s Smith & Wesson Model 29, and better still shoot them…

The introduction of the Sako S20 Hunter Camo Cerakote The Sako S20 has been available now for more than two years and it has become an instant success, primarily due to the clever hybrid, adjustable and changeable format that this rifle possesses. More importantly, it is just such a natural rifle to shoot, with great…

It’s no secret that piston-powered rifles are more demanding than their PCP counterparts, and the hunt is always on to find a sublime springer that lets you eke out the maximum performance it has to offer. A springer that’s as mild-mannered as possible during the firing cycle will minimise recoil and maximise your chance of…

Being able to shave some weight off a rifle and scope set-up can be a huge advantage. And while there are plenty of lightweight guns on the market, the weight savings they offer can easily be undone by bulky optics. BSA’s Ultra SE airgun has been my go-to lightweight option for farm and woodland pest…

Professional Airgun Optics has an extensive line-up of telescopic sights, and that line-up has now grown with the arrival of the new SSS series, one of which, the PAO 6-24×56 SSS, is on test here, which offers two different types of scope technology. SSS stands for Smart Spherical Structure, which is an all-metal turret/erector tube…

SsangYong launched the Musso pickup in 2018. It’s recently undergone another facelift with a long-wheelbase (LWB) version being added to the range. The Musso is available in four specs; the entry-level Ex, the Rebel, the higher-spec Saracen and the new LWB Ssang Young Musso Rhino, which is the one we have on test. SsangYong Musso…

Looking for a proven competition clay gun that’s won almost everything on offer? Your search is over with the Perazzi MX8

In recent years, Turkey has been a hotbed of air rifle development. There’s Hatsan of course. Then Kral burst onto the scene, and recently Reximex and Niksan Defence have thrown their hats in the ring. It’s fair to say that collectively, Turkish air rifles are aimed squarely at the budget to mid-price market, offering good…

I shot a Miroku for a good few years and became a bit of an addict. In the UK, we have four models: the MK60, the fixed-choke all-rounder; the MK38, the clay demon; the MK11, the pretty game gun; and the MK70. WE are testing the MK70 Grade 5 here, a multichoke game gun. The…

I’ve often been intrigued by just how well a vehicle such as the Polaris Ranger XP 1000 would work as a night-time foxing tool. It should be understood, therefore, that this article is being written from the perspective of a hunter – not that of a farmer or a gamekeeper. The Polaris Ranger already has…
