Niksan Defence Archero-S is a modern, multi-shot PCP air rifle powered by compressed air, designed for recreational and precision shooting. The model features a Side Lever cocking system, a synthetic stock with an adjustable cheek rest, an adjustable trigger mechanism, a self-indexing magazine, a transfer-port power adjuster, a Picatinny mounting rail, a precision barrel, and a 280 cc air cylinder. Available in the following calibers: .177 (4.5 mm), .22 (5.5 mm), .25 (6.35 mm).
SL - (Side Lever), the side cocking lever allows the air rifle to be prepared for the next shot smoothly and comfortably. Cycling the lever cocks the mechanism, rotates the magazine, and chambers the pellet into the barrel. This design helps the shooter maintain a stable position during recreational and sport shooting.
Power adjuster - this model is equipped with transfer-port adjustment, allowing the air rifle’s operating characteristics to be tailored to the user’s preferences. Power adjustment provides better control over air consumption, pellet velocity, and shot-to-shot consistency.
Barrel - precision-made, measuring 21.65" (550 mm) in length, and finished with a 1/2" UNF thread for a muzzle device. The long barrel promotes stable pellet guidance and consistent shooting performance, while the threaded muzzle allows compatible accessories to be installed.
Power source - powered by compressed air from a 280 cc cylinder filled to a pressure of 200 bar. This reservoir capacity allows comfortable shooting without frequent refills, while the PCP system ensures consistent air rifle operation.
Stock - synthetic and ergonomically contoured, designed to provide a comfortable and stable shooting position. The adjustable cheek rest makes it easier to align the shooter’s head with an optical sight, improving comfort during extended shooting sessions.
Mounting rail - the air rifle is equipped with a Picatinny rail, allowing the installation of a riflescope or red dot sight. This makes it easy to adapt the model to the shooter’s preferred style and optic configuration.
Magazine - self-indexing and rotary, with a capacity of 14 pellets in 4.5 mm / .177 caliber, 12 pellets in 5.5 mm / .22 caliber, and 10 pellets in 6.35 mm / .25 caliber. The multi-shot magazine system enables convenient follow-up shots without the need to manually load a single pellet each time.
Trigger and safety - the air rifle is equipped with an adjustable four-way trigger blade, allowing its position to be tailored to the user’s preferences. The Anti-Hammer Bounce system reduces unwanted hammer rebound, supporting consistent mechanism operation and more efficient air usage.
Additional features - this model includes an ergonomically contoured stock, a self-indexing magazine, a transfer-port power adjuster, a Picatinny rail, and a 1/2" UNF thread at the end of the barrel.
