What's your next air rifle purchase (2026)?

[Madhatter]

I might get a pinty night force or whatever the airforce condor copy is.

 

[Hvacguy]

Same. I'm waiting for stateside parts availability first.

 

[PapaT]

I was thinking that since it's in stock and the other 2 I want are not, that I might go ahead and grab the Nightfall as my next...

 

[RobbieGio]

Did you get the factory Brocock adapter or a different one? AoA quoted me $175+ shipping for the Brocock one.. too rich for my blood

I do not recall the price they charged me, but that seems a bit more. Getting the package and add ons, they most likely gave me a price break.

Considering all air rifles that are currently available..., or rifles that have been announced for release this year, what new rifle are you really solid about buying?

For me, it's going to be an 'Epic Vision', 420mm, .22 caliber. While my favorite style of rifle is 'old school' long rifles, the new 'Vision' checks most of the boxes for a field rifle hunting ground squirrels on foot.

What are you craving for a new rifle in 2026?

I have the Epic Vision .22 CFB on order. The last info I got from EPIC is that shipping should start in late May or early June. Have you heard anything different?

 

[Billm]

A large box of human accuracy, it hasn’t shown up yet. . I might have to try a .35.

 

[Fishing 43]

Walnut royale 400. Never had one in my hands but everything I hear about them is positive

Talon has them right now.

I'll hold back on the first Visions and see what folks report about them.

Earlier this year I recieved my new 75th Anniversary HW50S .22 cal. in blue laminate from AoA. Of course, I love it. I only allow myself one new airgun a year, but next year is coming!. I may still use some HAM points to purchase a nice Hawke scope later this summer. My toybox is never full. Orv.

 

[Hvacguy]

A .22 cal GK1 would really tickle my fancy

 

[Pumacarl]

The Gen 3 Marauder in .25 and a small carbon fiber bottle for it.

Well, I'm locked in now, I got this:

Amazon.com : TUXING New Model 4500Psi Carbon Fiber Air Tank,0.36L/360CC/21Cu in Pcp Air Tank,HPA Composite Cylinder for PCP Airgun Charging System Paintball Fill Station : Sports & Outdoors

...and an arca swiss plate, for when the .25 shows up.

That's about 5" shorter and 20 ounces lighter than the bottle it is shipping with.

 

[elwoodblues]

Well canceled the Skout Semi way past expected ship date and the people that have them are mixed in the reveiws
took three calls to get it credited, never again will I preorder.

I hear you, I won't either, at least I can use a bottle and an arca plate somewhere else if I have to.

 

[Billm]

Either a Sightron or an Athlon high powered bench scope is probably coming next.

Not all companies are bad. Airguns of Arizona only asks for $25 for pre-order and they are a reliable company, although they cannot control the companies they are ordering from. Give them a try if they have what you're looking for. Orv.

 

[Wellplayedsir]

King Syn in 25 cal.

$25-$200 on deposits at AOA from what I’ve read, completely agree with you on the rest.

Well, I have learned no pre orders from Pinty. I like them, a lot. Is why I have 5 of them. But the pistol pre order has gone on to long. We all know about the often accused "Slow boat from China" excuse for long shipping times, but apparently they decided to route said slow boat by way of Iran. Never again will I pre order and fully pay for anything. AOA will get all my business as well if I want something not in stock.

I am torn between that 25 king and an Impact mark IV in 35 cal the one with the 800mm barrel. I know it is not practical but I can't help myself, I am a long time centrefire shooter and even had my own Grizzly Lathe and made my own wildcats. I have 6 rifles that shoot over 5000 FPS "not a typo" and many more that shoot way over 4000 FPS all day long, It may sound funny but when I go to buy that 25 cal King I pray they don't have that Mark IV in stock because I really don't trust myself to make the sensible choice. Oh well we shal see.
