Hoping to find that special airgunning pressie under the tree or in your stocking on Christmas morning? Here are a few ideas for your list to Santa…
USMC GUARDIAN
This workhorse of a knife comes with a robust nylon holster and lends itself brilliantly to hide building. The edge of its 86mm 440C steel blade is finished in non-stick PTFE and so boasts more than sufficient sharpness for game prep, too. The Guardian’s sandpaper-rough G-10 handle provides excellent grip in all conditions, making it a superb kitbag addition for the airgun hunter.
RRP: £29.99

Q-TEC SILENCER
The Air Arms Q-Tec is one of the most effective silencers on the market, hushing down your airgun for stealthy hunting or quiet target practice. Models are calibre-specific (.177, .22 and .25) and come with male or female 1/2in UNF threads, or grubscrew fit (for 10 and 15mm barrels), the lightest weighing just 183 grams. Ideal for a quiet Christmas!
RRP: £67

FLIP-TARGET
This ingenious target flips backwards whenever you land a pellet on one of its lollipop ‘kill areas’ and makes for addictive plinking.

It snaps apart to pack away flat when not in use.
RRP: £19.95 (Cadet); £24.95 (Max)
