Did you know that there are airguns that excel in extreme precision? The best part is that they don’t always come with a hefty price tag. Today, we’ll dive into some awesome airguns that are all about accuracy. These might just be the perfect fit for your budget and shooting needs.
An Accurate BB Rifle
The Daisy Avanti Champion 499B is not just any BB rifle; it’s the world’s most accurate one. It’s also the BB gun of the Daisy Nationals, a prestigious event where youth shooting teams from across the country compete for the championship. The competitors shoot from four positions at a distance of 5 meters, aiming at a bullseye the size of a ballpoint pen’s ball. Perfect shot cards are not uncommon, thanks to the exceptional accuracy of the Daisy Champion 499B, combined with great coaching, practice, and discipline.
Pump Pneumatic Match Rifle
Our next airgun that excels in precision is an entry-level 10-meter match rifle. It’s a single-stroke pneumatic that’s ideal for developing young shooters or adults who are interested in precision shooting on a tight budget. The Daisy 753S is a synthetic, single-shot .177 pellet rifle that features a precision rifled barrel, bolt action cocking system, and diopter match sights. One of the great things about the 753S is that you can shoot it indoors, provided you have a reasonable backstop. Setting up a 10-yard range in your basement or garage would be very easy and a whole lot of fun.
Pump Pneumatic Air Pistol
Before we jump over to more rifles, we need to take a short stop here and talk about accurate air pistols. One really wonderful option is the Beeman P17 and its high-end cousin, the Beeman P3, also known as the HW40. While they may look similar, they are different. Made in China, The P17 is a single-stroke pneumatic built to a very affordable price point. However, it shoots way above its price class. Its best feature has to be the trigger. How they are able to get a trigger that good into an airgun at this price point is still a mystery. While the P3 may look nearly identical to the P17, it’s made in Germany to a much higher build quality. So, shooters have a choice based on their needs.
Precision PCP Long Guns
There are a lot of great PCP airguns out there. When it comes to pure precision, there are a few standouts. Here are three options, starting with a small bore favorite.
The RAW HM1000x series from RAW is designed from the ground up for precision shooting. Airgunners can expect to spend up to and over $2100 to get their hands on one of these beauties. They are available in multiple calibers and different color laminate stocks. For those AR shooters, the RAW HM1000x also comes in a chassis version. You’ll get ultra-quiet precision from their moderated models if that’s your jam.
Moving up to a mid-bore option meant for a 100-yard competitive shoot, the .30 cal FX Panthera 700 is purpose-built for long-range power and extreme accuracy. It features a 300cc rear-mounted carbon fiber bottle, a fully regulated system with a 156cc magnum XL plenum, and pushes up to 150 FPE in .30 caliber. There are too many other features to list here, so please check it out on our site. This rifle is a beast.
Olympic Class Precision
While most of us are looking for hunting power and long-range precision, the real extreme accuracy airguns are the 10-meter Olympic-class guns from manufacturers like Anschutz and Feinwerkbau. Get your wallet out folks, because these airguns don’t come cheap.
Let’s start with the Fenwerkbau 800 ALU. This rifle, which costs a cool $3600, can produce groups measuring only a couple of hundredths of an inch. It is completely customizable to the shooter’s needs, making it one beautiful airgun. Although it may only shoot about 570 FPS, it can put lead EXACTLY where it needs to be for competitive shooters.
If you still have some cash burning a hole in your pocket and don’t want to slum it down at the low end of things with a $3600 PCP, then take a look at the Anschutz 9015 10-meter rifle. If field target is your thing, try their field target mode. These airguns are built to incredibly high tolerances to help competitors win. Starting at $4600 and going up from there, these are some pricy airguns. But they are extremely accurate.
