Air Arms Pro Sport Review || Air Arms Pro Sport Problems

The specs show that the Air Arms Pro-Sport has a 9.5″ Lothar Walther barrel. We’ve had a number of customers email us that this is a mistake. It is not. The barrel really is only 9.5″ long. The gun has a shroud over the barrel, and the shroud is longer than the barrel. It gives the illusion that the barrel is longer than 9.5 inches. It isn’t! The barrel is the rifled portion.

The Air Arms Pro-Sport has earned a faithful following among field target shooters because it’s remarkably accurate and easy to shoot. However, you don’t have to shoot field target to appreciate this gun. In fact, you might want to get the .22 for hunting rats, mice, rabbits and squirrels. It’s super-quiet because it has a barrel shroud that helps deaden the sound. The Monte Carlo stock and raised cheekpiece are just a couple of the gun’s ergonomic features. Air Arms has increased the amount of area that is checkered on the grip and forearm. If you’ve ever had sweaty palms while hunting or during a match, you’ll appreciate the extra gripping power!

The Pro-Sport has a 12-groove Lothar Walther barrel and comes to you in a tuned state. That means you won’t have to spend hours or days fiddling with the gun to make it shoot perfectly. The weight given in the specifications section says 9.04 lbs., but that’s for the walnut stock. The beech stock is 9.48 lbs. This rifle does not come with a scope or sights, so remember to pick up a scope when ordering!

Air Arms Pro-Sport

The Pro-Sport is offered in .177 and .22, with a 9.5″ rifled barrel (shrouded) and an overall length in the ~1,050 mm range; weight falls around 4.1–4.3 kg depending on wood choice (walnut or beech). It uses an underlever cocking system, a two-stage fully adjustable (gold-plated) trigger, and an automatic safety that engages on cocking. These specifications make it compact, stable from the bench or field rests, and well suited to precision work at 25 yards and beyond.

The Air Arms Pro-Sport (often written ProSport) is a premium underlever spring-piston air rifle that marries old-school mechanical reliability with modern tuning and finish. Built by Air Arms in the U.K., the Pro-Sport targets field-target competitors, match shooters, olympic shooters and serious hunters who want a compact, hard-hitting springer that can deliver repeatable accuracy without a PCP fill rig.
