About the Air Arms Pro-Sport
The Air Arms Pro-Sport is a British underlever spring-piston air rifle chambered for .177 (4.5mm) and .22 pellets. Introduced in the mid-1990s, it is built around a fully enclosed underlever cocking mechanism that hides the cocking lever within the action's profile, paired with a 12-groove Lothar Walther barrel and an integrated moderator. Renowned for its match-grade accuracy and adjustable two-stage trigger, it is a favourite among field target and hunter field target shooters. UK-legal examples are tuned to remain below the 12 ft·lb (16 J) limit, while export versions can produce up to 20 J.
Air Arms developed the Pro-Sport as a premium sporting and field-target spring rifle, distinguished by an elegant concealed underlever that tucks the cocking arm out of sight along the underside of the action.
