Airhawk Elite 2 .177 Pellet Rifle by Ruger

Looking for an affordable, value-packed gas-piston air rifle kit that’s equally at home in the back yard plinking, dispatching nuisance wildlife or humanely taking small game? If so, this might be just the kit for you.

The AirHawk Elite II Air Rifle pellet gun from Ruger comes equipped with an 18.7″ rifled barrel and a TNT gas piston power plant that zings pellets downrange at up 1,200 FPS muzzle velocity. Plus, you’ll be ready to nail bullseyes right out of the box thanks to the included 4×32 air gun scope. The TNT gas piston, which stands for Turbo Nitrogen Technology, provides a smooth and consistent cocking effort. You’ll find mounting the included scope is easy, because of the already-installed Nucleus Rail that covers the rifle’s receiver tube. It helps make this rifle just that much more quiet, modern, and user-friendly. Of course, you can always opt to forego the scope and use the bright fiber optic sights already mounted and ready for target acquisition.
