Air Rifles:
The only air rifles we sell are the few Theoben rifles remaining and Rapid Air Weapons lines. Custom models tailored  to your needs are available. Build your own dream air rifle with our help.

Theoben:
My first Theoben rifle was purchased in 1988 – a .22 Scirocco Grand Prix topped with a Premier Reticles Leupold 8X scope with the requisite 50 ft. adapter for shots under 19 yards. It is still in service today and is used for hunting and HFT. David Slade and I stripped it a five years ago, and aside from a few drops of moisture from using a hand pump, it was still in perfect condition. These rifles will last a lifetime. Parts and repairs are still available, although there are only a few remaining rifles available. We do purchase used Theoben rifles for factory refurb as they become available..
  
My first PCP was a .22 Rapid MK I purchased in the early 1990s Aside from replacing the original valve with a new synthetic one, it is unaltered and gets 75 shots at 900 fps (25 fps power curve) using CPs. The simple elegance of the original Rapid design is near perfection. For those who must have add-ons,- quick fill adapters and pressure gauges are available from the factory or as a user modification.

While the standard “Rapids” are pure hunting rifles, the MFR and XP Pro models are dual use and perform admirably on the FT and BR circuits.

Rapid Air Weapons:
Founded by Martin Rutterford,, Rapid Air Weapons has brought quality airgun manufacturing to US shores.

Based in Tennessee,  RAW makes parts and accessories for Theoben and other brands of quality airguns. Their modern CAD and CAM manufacturing facilities produce everything right here in America.

However, Martin's cowning achivemenets to date include several entirely new lines of rifles - including the TM and Benchrest models – designed with the single objective of accuracy at all ranges. Like an underlever springer, each pellet is hand loaded – one at a time – so that it can be inspected and the chamber tension felt by finger insertion before firing. The rifles come with a Benchrest or FT stock, a hand selected barrels with a carbon fiber shroud or vented muzzle brake, and a forend rail to accept various devices including their own proprietary FT knee riser.

In addtion, there Hunter line of sideleaver, magazine rifles offer top level accuracy at entry level prices. IMHO, they are the finest rifles available in the current market market.

Check out these fine products at: www.rapidairweapons.com.  We are proud to be a stocking dealer for their fine products.

Scopes
We sell only the Hawke lines of scopes that are specifically designed for airgun use. These include the Air Max and Sidewinder scopes that are designed by airgunners for airgunners. The MAP, SR and Tactical reticles were created by three time World Ft Champion, Nick Jenkinson,  and reflect his real world experience in the sport. They are springer rated and carry a lifetime warranty for the original purchaser.

The Sidewinder Tactical line is a customer favorite  with great optics and a Jenkinson designed half Mil-Dot reticle with multiple aimpoints that are precise and predictable.

Dollar for dollar, there are no better rifle scopes in today’s market. And Hawke’s customer service is the best in the business.

KHS, Inc. began life as a vintage hardwood business. We sell the finest reclaimed lumber and hardware available as well as freshly cut Kentucky walnut.
