Stoeger's latest addition to its airgun line is the S8000-E Tac Suppressed Air Rifle, offering newly improved ergonomics and features, with a five year warranty.
At the heart of the S8000-E Tac is the Gas-Ram System, which is designed to eliminate vibrations while delivering consistent velocities due to its repeatable gas-pressure release. The Airflow Control (AFC) suppressor further mitigates vibration and eliminates the sound usually associated with traditional spring-driven airguns. This combines with the Dual-Stage Noise Reduction Systemto further reduce noise for quiet shooting.
The tactical stock of the airgun allows for complete customization of fit with a variety of buttstock spacers for length-of-pull adjustments and the three-position cheek pad. The Multi-Grip System features different sized pistol and forend grips with a choice of finishes to fine-tune the air rifle’s ergonomic stock. Two picatinny rails situated on each side of the forend allow for mounting accessories such as a bi-pod, lights, lasers and sling studs.
The break-open barrel cocks the action and is unleashed with a two-stage, adjustable trigger to produce hard-hitting 1,200 fps (.117 cal.) and 1,000 fps (.22 cal.) muzzle velocities using alloy pellets. The new S8000-E Tac is available with a black, synthetic stock in either .177 cal, or .22 cal., perfect for your next squirrel-shoot.
