Air Arms S200 Target Rifle
This is an entry level target rifle. The S200 Target’s .177 calibre barrel is renowned for its accuracy and with the dioptre sights fitted as standard; the shooter is fully equipped to make the most of its match winning potential. Further aiding the accuracy of the S200 Target, is a supportive, match-type stock and precision trigger, plus the recoilless consistency of the precharged pneumatic action.
With its power set at 6 ft.lbs. the S200 Target produces over 130+ shots per charge, which is more than enough for any match, including sighting shots, and the manageable weight and perfect balance of the rifle is designed to promote on-aim stability, without tiring the shooter.
These air rifles are only suitable for use by older Scouts, Explorers, Network and Adults. This product can only be booked by members of the Mersey Weaver Target Sports Activity Team and members of the District Shooting Squads. They are only available for use with the approval of the District Shooting Advisor.
