Description

This modern Umarex air rifle has a classic feel because of its beautiful wood stock and single-stroke operation. To operate the Forge air rifle you just tap the barrel at the muzzle end brace the rear of the rifle into your thigh and hold it then grab the barrel with your other hand and pull it down until it stops. Now load a .177 caliber airgun pellet into the breech (the hole that is revealed when you open it). Be sure to keep a firm hold of the rifle and keep your finger off of the trigger while doing this. Once loaded just close the barrel to its original position. Take aim at a safe target put the rifle off safe and squeeze the trigger. Simple! The Umarex Forge has an innovative Nucleus Rail. It s a tough polymer mounting rail that not only gives you a Picatinny rail to mount a scope to but also covers the receiver which masks some of the sound the internal spring makes when released by the squeeze of the trigger. The Umarex Forge is sleek modern and classic all rolled into one attractive pellet rifle. There are not many wood air rifles on the market anymore so don t miss out on this one. It s a lightweight option good for target practicing at the range and for small-game airgun hunting and varmint control. The Umarex Forge features a single-shot cocking mechanism composed of a smooth internal gas piston that when released forces air behind the pellet causing it to reach speeds of up to 1 250 feet per second. The Umarex Forge does come with a 4×32 scope and mounting rings and it has a built-in permanent noise dampener at the muzzle end to control its sound. If you d rather shoot with open sights this airgun has fiber optic sights and it also has an adjustable trigger automatic safety and a 14.8-inch rifled barrel to ensure accuracy. The typical .177 caliber airgun pellet weighs 7 grains. If you re looking for speed use one of those or choose an alloy pellet. For small game hunting choose a little heavier of a pellet such as an 8.5 to 9 grain. Be sure to follow the maintenance guidelines in the manual and you ll enjoy this air rifle for many years to come.
