Anschutz 8002 Air Rifle

Introduction

ANSCHÜTZ has developed a successor for the very successful model 2002 target air rifle series. With the new Target Compressed Air Rifle Model 8002 S2 the shooters profit from the knowledge ANSCHÜTZ acquired in the course of the latest revolution in the field of air rifle technology. A target compressed air rifle that meets all state-of-the-art requirements of a competitive air rifle.

Barrelled Action

Recoil and vibration-free ANSCHÜTZ compressed air barreled action with vibration absorbing elastomers. The very fast lock time of the ANSCHÜTZ 2002 Compressed Air has been outstanding all times. Now the lock time has been shortened even more by using new materials and technologies, for example for the new firing pin. The mechanical trigger unit is a completely new development too, and offers a constantly reliable trigger behaviour even at extreme temperatures due to the use of uniform materials. The barrelled action is only cocked when the action is closed completely - if the cocking lever is not closed completely, it jumps back automatically and a shot release is not possible. Safety is also an important feature of the dry firing device. The dry firing mode can only be actuated in cocked condition. It is therefore not possible to uncock the barrelled action by pushing the dry firing switch once the trigger has been released. Thus an inadvertent shot release is avoided. Patented air filter against pollution. To guarantee a trouble-free function of the compressed air technology an air filter was developed to protect the pressure regulator and the valve against impurities which in turn avoids malfunctions.The refill adapter was also equipped with an air filter. The aluminum compressed air cylinder (max. 200 bar filling pressure) is equipped with a manometer and can easily be changed without tools. Its capacity lasts for approx. 300 shots at a filling pressure of 200 bar. The maintenance friendly valve unit provides for a precise shot release and an extremely short lock time at an utmost consistency of pressure from shot to shot.
