The company AirMaks Arms once again brings a modernised version of one of the most popular Czech PCP air rifles, this time under the name Katran Pro. This version has been adapted for target shooting – the manufacturer has completely redesigned the folding stock, the lower mounting platform, and the grip has also been changed.
The aluminium stock is now in PRS style (Precision Rifle Series discipline), featuring a height-adjustable cheek piece and a height- and length-adjustable buttpad. It also includes two “QD Sling” sockets for attaching a sling. As with the original model, a simple button is used to fold the stock and in the folded position it is held in place by a magnet.
The under-barrel mounting platform has also been modified. Thanks to its angular shape, it now includes an Arca-Swiss rail and M-LOK slots are located on the sides and on the bottom.
Comfortable prone shooting is ensured by an ergonomically shaped rubberised AR-15 grip with a reduced angle from FAB Defense.
Consistent muzzle velocity is now ensured by the proven HUMA-AIR pressure regulator, which eliminates the drop in power caused by decreasing pressure in the air cylinder. For filling, the package includes a standard fill probe (G1/8 thread) with a hose (G5/8 thread).
The highly accurate rifled barrel is shrouded along its entire length and at its end there is a 1/2UNFx20 thread for installing a sound moderator.
The loading system is also worth mentioning, as it has an incredibly smooth and light operation. The sidelever is located just above the trigger, so you can reload with one finger at lightning speed, and it can be easily swapped to the other side.
The safety is located above the fully adjustable trigger, and for mounting a riflescope there is a 22 mm metal Picatinny rail canted by 20 MOA, which makes it easier to set up the scope for long-range shooting.
