3. Walther Rotex RM8 PCP Rifle

Between £400-£500 you will find the majority of entry level pre-charged air rifles. Although they can be called entry level, most of the rifles within this price are very good value for their money. One of the most popular pre charged air rifles under £500 is the Walther Rotex RM8. The Walther RM8 features a buddy bottle to provide a high shot count, and the rifle is also regulated, giving a consistent shot every time. I think the Walther Rotex made it’s way in to all of our top 6 air rifle selections. You will find each of our top 6 air rifles under £500 below.

4. Zbroia Kozak Bullpup Rifle

Newly added to the list is the Zbroia Kozak air rifle. This lovely little air rifle is nice and compact and also includes a regulator. For such a short, lightweight gun, it shoulders very well and gives a large amount of shots. It’s following is growing rapidly.
