Air Arms .177 RSN 70

Description

Air Arms RSN70 Special Edition is a special edition rifle commissioned by Air Arms to commemorate the founder of Air Arms, Bob Nicholls 70th birthday and takes inspiration from his pride and joy, his Bentley. The entire production run is limited to only 71 rifles, with the no.71 being kept at the Air Arms premises.

The rifle is based upon the S500 and HFT500 rifles, and is a single shot side lever operated PCP action, with a shrouded barrel and extended air cylinder for a consistent and high shot count. The barrel shroud incorporates fluting to resemble the cars grille, and the fill port of the end of the cylinder resembles the cars wheel. Furthermore, the pressure gauge on the underside of the stock resembles a petrol gauge from a car.

The sidelever is chrome plated, and special engraving on the breach emblazons the name of the RSN70 and Air Arms. The stock of the rifle is handpainted in the same Umran Red as Nicholls' Bentley was, and has leather inlays to match the interior of the car. Each rifle also comes complete with a leather gun slip.
