What is the most powerful air rifle you can buy in the UK?

Answer 1

It's not so much the model of air rifle it's the class of air rifle, and that is the PreCharged Pneumatic (PCP) class of air rifles. Makers like Air Arms, Evanix, Hammerli, and a few others are in this class. These produce more power than any C02, pump or springer air rifle, But these do cost a considerable amount more than a regular air rifle.

There are other PCP class air rifles that may, or may not be available in the UK like the ".25 cal AirForce Condor," "357 mm Benjamin Rogue," "50 Cal Sam Yang." All of these are extremely powerful PCP air rifles.

All air rifles sold in the U.K. have a power limit of 12 ftlb, no matter who makes it.

Don't get caught with one shooting more than that. You will get into big trouble because any more power will put it into the firearms category. If you want something with more power you will have to get a FAC. (Fire Arm Certificate)

Answer 2

Other PCP class airguns such as the .25 cal AirForce Condor, 357mm Benjamin Rogue and 50 Cal Sam Yang may or may not be available in the UK. These are all very powerful PCP airguns.
