What are match air rifles?

Gunfinder Magazine

Air rifles in general are very popular sports and leisure weapons, with both models requiring a purchase permit and those that do not. Whether a model requires a purchase permit depends, with few exceptions, on the energy with which the projectiles are discharged: air rifles with a muzzle energy of up to 7.5 joules and the designation F in a pentagon are free of purchase permits.

Match air rifles are extremely precise high-tech air rifles designed for repeatable accurate shooting results. They are used in competitive shooting, primarily with compressed air.

When shooting, a distinction is made between two execution variations: freehand and supported. To enable the shooter to make precise shots, the design of the match rifle must be ergonomically adapted to their anatomy - for this purpose, the stock of a match rifle has versatile adjustment options, for example at the fore-end and buttstock as well as at the buttstock cheekpiece. 

Additionally, weights are used to perfectly adjust the center of gravity of the weapon to the needs of the shooter. Just as the trigger adjustment must precisely and repeatably release the shot, a finely adjustable sight ensures accurate and precise shot delivery.

Main features of match air rifles:

Match air rifles can be purchased on platforms like eGun, Auctronia, or the VDB, but we recommend specialized online shops like Frankonia or 4komma5.
