The Shooting Party (“TSP”) of Shenstone, Staffs, UK, the Shooting & Outdoor Pursuits company, announced today the launch of a brand new, multi-shot PCP Air Rifle by Lee Enfield (Guns) Ltd.
“To date Lee Enfield (Guns) Ltd have concentrated in producing their ‘Brothers in Arms’ tm series of iconic rifles and pistols (in CO2 Steel BB format), that featured prominently in the major conflicts of the 20th century.
“The first product in the series, the Lee-Enfield SMLE® Rifle has been a run-away success, and is to be followed by a replica AK 74 and the .380 Enfield No.2 Revolver® models. The success of these products has encouraged the company to produce a radical new design of a regulated PCP and we are excited to be given the exclusive distribution rights for it” said Mike Hurney, Chairman, TSP
“The rifle has a striking “Sports-Pup”, appearance combining a Forestock constructed from well-moulded Ballistic Polymer and a Thumb-Hole Buttstock, with an adjustable cheek piece, made from European Beech, which combines light-weight with great grip and control. The rifle has a fully regulated action that delivers a high number of very consistent shots-120+ in .22 and 75+ in .177 at 11.5fpe energy -from a single fill. The Sentry has a precision-rifled steel barrel which is terminated with a removeable ½” UNF threaded silencer. Scope and accessory mounting options are varied and plentiful, with an 11mm scope dovetail positioned over the action and no less than six 22mm Weaver/Picatinny mounting points-three over the barrel; two on either side of, and one under, the forestock, providing perfect flexibility to add a PAO® LumenMAX 900 Hunting Lamp and a PAO® Red or Green Laser and an AirForceOne® ‘ADRAS’ Tilt & Swivel Bipod to the Shooters rig. Each rifle is supplied with a filler probe, two magazines (9-shot in .177, 8-shot in .22), a single-shot tray and a set of ‘in-life’ spare seals and ‘O’ rings. Other features include a fill-pressure gauge located in the end of the air cylinder; a metal trigger blade and a manual slide-style safety built into the trigger guard” Hurney added.
“In these difficult Corona Virus restricted times, we took the decision to make the significant investment in this new, visually striking, fully-featured rifle to offer shooters something new, exciting and eminently affordable to look forward to when the virus is hopefully in full retreat in Mid-summer” Hurney concluded.
