Macavity MA3 PCP Air Rifle Coming Soon At Pyramyd AIR

The Macavity MA3 PCP air rifle is coming soon. Pyramyd AIR is showing an estimated availability date of November 3, 2025 for its first deliveries. It’s a development of the MA2 which I enjoyed shooting recently at the 2025 Pyramyd Cup.

Pyramyd will have the MA3 available in both Standard and Long versions and in .22, .25 and .30 calibers.

The Long model has a longer barrel and is 4 Inches greater in length than the Standard model. It also has a larger HPA tube with a capacity of 265 cc, compared to 188 cc.

The result is that the MA3 Long will be more powerful than the Standard version. It will also have a higher shot count per fill of 3,600 PSI High Pressure Air. It’s also about 6 Ounces heavier.

The manufacturer gives a maximum Muzzle Energy for the Macavity MA3 PCP air rifle of 95 Ft/Lbs. That undoubtedly relates to the MA3 Long in .30 caliber. More detail on power and shot count will undoubtedly appear soon.

Interestingly, Macavity is very specific about the twist rates applied to its barrels. The specifications are 1 in 22 Inches for .22 caliber and 1 in 24 Inches for .25 cal. The .30 caliber models also have a 1 in 22 Inch rate.

As is clear, the MA3 is fitted with a hardwood beech stock – yes, real “tree wood”! It certainly looks good in the photographs.

Both MA3 models are fitted with an externally-adjustable regulator and have a larger plenum of 55 cc, compared to the MA2 model. The larger plenum allows for improved shot-to-shot consistency when the gun is fired rapidly. It also increases the achievable power the guns can generate.

All versions are fitted with a two-stage adjustable trigger and manual safety. There’s a full-length suppressor around the shrouded barrel for backyard-friendly shooting, too.

Of course, the action is side-lever operated and the rotary magazines hold 11 rounds in .22 cal, 10 rounds in .25 and 8 in .30 caliber.

There’s a 3-year manufacturer’s warranty and prices start at $709.99, with a slight uplift for the long models and larger calibers. Pyramyd is taking pre-orders now…

Nice! It's good to hear that they are making the plenum the right size to start with. They need a win with the stock after the first one. Wood is a safe bet.

 

[AM888]

I wonder if they will offer it with a synthetic stock to be able to have a folding rear stock.

Dang it looks cool but a choked barrel and slow twist rate makes it seem like Slugs aren’t gonna do great out of this.

I like how the gun itself (the MA2) is made, extremely smooth shooter, the stock had issues. My stock was a first gen prototype and is made in such a way that I can't even use a MA2 adapter made by Terminador. I got unlucky with that. They shouldn't make another half-a$$ed AR style stock or they are going to run themselves out of the business. If they make another one they better make it right with proper AR compatibility all the way around. They created a pretty big obstacle for themselves to overcome with all the negative reviews for that stock.

Nice Stephen! I ordered one in 25 caliber last week and it supposed to be here on thursday. Utah Airguns had one in stock. Can't wait to check it out!

 

[Beanflip]

Looks like it comes with an external moderator too. Nice.

This time its supposed to be a real moderator instead of a hollow tube which is nice!

 

[Chief 10-Beers]

A non-flex stock! I look forward to more info.

I'm really excited about that too.

 

[Chief 10-Beers]

Considering playing with a .177 for the backyard.

Such a tease, because the sale bill that came with my OmniStorm shows the MA3 in red or blue wood laminate stocks that aren't offered on the PA website.

There was no choice when i bought the rifle except regular beech. It arrived in great shape from shipping fedex today. Its a little heavier than i like but looks nice. The moderator it comes with works better than the hollow tube you got with the MA2 but not good enough so i put on my Yokozuna and that helped quiet it down. Cycles just like the MA2 buttery smooth. Got the trigger set at 9 oz and it works great. Set the regulator to shoot pellets to at 890 fps and shot some groups. First shot after fill shoots high. It has to get down to 3000 psi to shoot consistent groups about dime to nickle size at 25 yards. Last day of the sun being out as the next three days are lots of rain. Thats my limited time of testing it today and more to come! I'll post some photos soon as well.

 

[Dogowski]

By the way, it is not a woods walking gun for me its just too heavy. Makes for a great bench gun! Still can't shoot it more as the weather is not cooperating.

 

[Chief 10-Beers]

I was looking at Pyramid and for some reason they don't show the FPE like they do on many of the rifles.

I think they only offer it on one's they've tested, so probably just that they haven't shot one to see yet (other than some 10 for 10s).

That's strange they don't post it for sure. I last shot mine at 890 fos with the 25.4 pellets. 44.69 ft pounds. I'll try to squeeze out a little more next time weather clears.
