The Umarex Octane nitro-piston air rifle easily makes it onto our Editor’s Best Value List with a combo that exemplifies the amazing level of quality and performance that today’s air rifles can deliver – all at a price point that would be unheard of just five years ago.

Our Review: Gamo Whisper Fusion Pro

Rick Butcher — Sun, 10 Jan 2016 22:11:28 +0000

The Gamo Whisper Fusion Pro has a lot to live up to; including Gamo’s claim that it is one of the “quietest” air rifles you can buy thanks in part to a “patented double integrated noise dampening technology.” But what’s the real story on the Whisper Fusion Pro and, ultimately, is it worth the money? […]

The Gamo Hunter Extreme has garnered lots of attention from shoppers looking for the next best spring-piston rifle, but there is not much consensus out there about its value, which begs the question: is this yet just another sexy model that fails to live up to its lofty price tag? In usual fashion, we cut […]

Top Value COMBO for $200 – Browning Leverage

Rick Butcher — Wed, 18 Jun 2014 00:13:22 +0000

While there are many good air rifles under $200, we can think of no air rifle combo that brings the same level of performance, quality and value as the Browning Leverage. Ironically, it’s also hard to think of another combo that is less publicized! Indeed, at a time when air rifle advertising is particularly fierce […]

Editor’s Pick For $400 – Diana RWS 48 / T06 Trigger

Rick Butcher — Fri, 13 Jun 2014 21:02:17 +0000

There are many, many great air rifles you can buy for $400 or less; however, in our view, none can compare to the total package that is the Diana RWS 48 with the T06 Trigger. And while it may not always be available for $400 or less, when you can get it for this price, […]

Crosman Nitro Venom – Deal or Dud?

Rick Butcher — Thu, 12 Jun 2014 20:12:44 +0000

The Crosman Nitro Venom air rifle is a gas-piston breakbarrel that comes in an especially affordable combo that puts it in direct competition with other value-oriented gas rams, such as the Benjamin Titan. But how does the Nitro Venom perform? And what are the big tradeoffs lurking behind all of this apparent value, if any? […]

Beeman R9 / HW95 – An Uber-Accurate Springer!

Rick Butcher — Wed, 11 Jun 2014 20:21:42 +0000

The Beeman R9 (aka Weihrauch HW95) is considered by many to be one of, if not the most accurate spring-piston air rifle you can get for under $500. And although we can’t confirm that claim, we’d be hard-pressed to disprove it too! In any case, there is no denying that this is a world-class, elite […]

Ruger Yukon – a Quiet, Powerful Gas Ram

Rick Butcher — Tue, 10 Jun 2014 17:56:15 +0000

The Ruger Yukon is one of the more feature-oriented and budget-friendly gas-piston air rifles, but is definitely up against some very stiff competition in its price class. Consequently, if you are considering this as your first “gas-ram,” you will want to pay close attention to this model’s strengths and weaknesses before deciding if its the […]

Maximum Value PCP Rifle – Benjamin Marauder

Rick Butcher — Thu, 05 Jun 2014 21:18:25 +0000

No, it’s not cheap, but for the money we have to say that the Benjamin Marauder fairly easily wins the top value spot among the PCP crowd for us. Indeed, what you get for your money in the Marauder (or “Mrod” as it’s affectionately referred to by forum junkies) is not just a capable rifle, […]
