The Explorer is a spring piston, single-stroke, break barrel air rifle with an all-weather ambidextrous composite black stock. The Explorer rifle shoots pellets out of its rifled barrel at 495 fps. Accuracy is a breeze with its fiber optic sights. The Explorer also comes with an automatic safety and rubber recoil pad. It is designed as a youth rifle with a shorter overall length (37-1/8"), lighter frame (4-1/2 lb.), and an anti-slam trigger-barrel safety system.
