Shop the Best Air Rifles, Pellet, & BB Guns

Why Choose an Air Gun?

Air guns offer a low-barrier entry point into the shooting sports. They are affordable, produce minimal noise compared to traditional firearms, and are ideal for practicing accuracy and trigger discipline without the recoil. Whether you are managing pest control, hunting small game, or refining your form for competition, air guns deliver a practical and enjoyable shooting experience.

If you are new to shooting, our classes make this an approachable place to start. If you have been around firearms for years, a quality pellet gun or PCP air rifle adds another dimension to your collection.

Types of Air Guns We Carry

Here is a quick breakdown of the types of air guns we carry at White Birch Armory:

Spring-Powered Air Rifles: A spring-powered air rifle uses a break-barrel action to compress a spring, which propels the pellet when the trigger is pulled. These are reliable, require no external power source, and models from Gamo and Beeman deliver high velocity and solid accuracy at a comfortable price point.

PCP Air Rifles: PCP airguns (pre-charged pneumatic) use compressed air stored in an onboard tank, giving you a higher shot count and more consistent power across each trigger pull. A hand pump or fill tank is required, but PCP air rifles are a top choice for competition, pest control, and serious target work.

BB Guns and CO2 Pistols: BB guns are an excellent starting point for new shooters, especially younger participants learning the basics of safe firearm handling. CO2-powered models from Daisy and Sig Sauer replicate the feel of popular handgun platforms, making them a practical training tool you can pair with time on our indoor range.

Air Gun Accessories

A good air gun setup goes beyond the rifle itself. We stock pellets and BBs in every major caliber, CO2 cartridges, hand pumps and fill adapters for PCP airguns, replacement magazines, targets, cleaning kits, and optics designed for air gun use. Whether you need to restock on ammo or upgrade your setup, our retail showroom and online store have what you need.

How to Choose the Best Air Rifle

Picking the best airgun comes down to what you plan to do with it. Here are a few factors our team walks customers through every day.

Caliber and Intended Use: A .177 caliber pellet is the standard for target shooting, competition, and general plinking. It offers flat trajectory and high velocity at an affordable cost per shot. If you are looking at small game hunting or pest control, a .22 caliber pellet delivers more energy on impact. Big bore air rifles in .25 caliber and above are built for larger game and longer range performance, though they come at a higher price point.

Stock, Fit, and Features: A wood stock gives you a classic look and solid feel, while synthetic options with modular design let you customize the fit. Features like an adjustable trigger make a real difference in accuracy, especially for competition. Open sights come standard on many models, but most air rifles accept optic mounts for shooters who prefer a scope. Overall length and barrel length affect how the rifle handles, so getting hands on a model before you buy is always a good idea.

Personal Preference and Budget: There is no single best air rifle for everyone. Personal preference plays a big role, whether that means prioritizing a lightweight build, a specific power source, or a unique feature like an integrated suppressor for noise reduction. Our staff will walk you through the options at every price point and help you find the right match for your needs.

Hear From Our Customers

I had such an amazing time at White Birch Armory. Everyone was welcoming and helpful. I had so much fun renting a rifle for some Gun Powder Therapy. I brought my friend who is a first time shooter and she had this to say: I was put at ease the minute I met and started talking with everyone. Even though I was very new with everything involving guns they were kind and patient to bring me toward my first shoot with a .22 pistol! It was awesome and I walked away wanting more!
