Tacto-SB is a cutting-edge air rifle from Niksan Defence, featuring an enlarged air reservoir. This compact and lightweight PCP carbine comes in a practical tactical stock with a folding, telescopic buttstock and an AR-15 style pistol grip. The extended 425cc air cylinder, made from lightweight aluminum and pressurized to 250 bar, ensures uninterrupted shooting sessions—delivering up to 144 shots on a single fill! The rifle is outfitted with a precision rifled barrel, a smooth side-lever bolt-action, a fully adjustable trigger mechanism, a power-adjustment valve at the transfer port, and comes with four magazines included. As with all Niksan PCP rifles, the Tacto-SB features Anti-Hammer Bounce technology, which reduces air loss and extends shooting time. The set is packaged in a practical hard transport case and is available in .177 (4.5 mm), .22 (5.5 mm), and .25 (6.35 mm) calibers.
Niksan Defence is a renowned manufacturer of high-quality firearms and air rifles. As a leader in injection molding and CNC component manufacturing, the company supplies parts to most of the major Turkish defense contractors. Every air rifle undergoes live-fire testing and meticulous quality control during production.
Compact Tactical PCP Carbine
Tacto-SB is built with a durable polymer tactical stock featuring an AR-15 style pistol grip and a folding, telescopic buttstock. The rifle’s breech block is crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum. The barrel shroud integrates a full-length 22mm RIS/Picatinny rail, allowing effortless mounting of an optical scope or iron sights (included).
The rifle is operated using a fast and ergonomic two-stroke side-lever system. The side lever is conveniently positioned on the right side of the action.
In addition to the top rail, an extra 22mm Picatinny/RIS accessory rail is located beneath the barrel, ideal for attaching a bipod (included) or tactical flashlight.
Precision Barrel & Enlarged Air Cylinder
High-precision, rifled barrel measuring 14.17" (360 mm). The barrel features a choked muzzle for optimal pellet stabilization and improved accuracy. It is equipped with a 1/2" UNF external thread for attaching a suppressor or muzzle brake.
Tacto-SB is equipped with a large 425cc compressed air tank, pressurized to 250 bar, providing extended shooting performance. Combined with the Anti-Hammer Bounce system, the rifle delivers up to 144 shots per fill (data based on FAC* version).
Advanced Technologies
All PCP rifles from Niksan incorporate Anti-Hammer Bounce technology, which prevents the hammer from striking the valve pin a second time, reducing air waste and increasing efficiency.
Tacto-SB includes a fully adjustable trigger system, allowing fine-tuning of trigger pull length and resistance. The 3D trigger blade offers precise vertical and angular adjustment for a custom shooting feel. A manual safety located above the trigger helps prevent accidental discharge.
The rifle comes with four rotary-indexing magazines, each holding 10–14 pellets depending on caliber.
An adjustable power valve at the transfer port enables tuning of muzzle energy. The valve can also be replaced with an HP version for higher power output—similar to the tuning system used in Reximex rifles.
Included in the package: a durable polymer transport case, bipod, and fixed iron sights.
For every air rifle with a muzzle energy not exceeding 17J, the manufacturer includes a unique 17 J Energy Limit Certificate, confirming compliance with Polish law. Legally imported rifles feature an engraved link to the exclusive distributor’s website: www.sharg.pl, representing Sharg.
