The Tech Force Contender Series® Model 49 is a medium-sized spring rifle with medium power. It's a sheer delight to cock, requiring just 18 lbs. of effort to generate power in the Beeman R7 category. At this low effort, the rifle can be easily operated by youthful shooters. A muzzlebrake extends the length of the barrel by several inches to provide extra leverage for cocking. A low raised cheek piece and Monte Carlo stock bring the sighting eye up to a nice height for a scope. The big story with the Contender Series 49 is accuracy. It is stunnly accurate! During a recent accuracy test at 25 yards on a windy day, there was no problem getting five shots under an inch (.75" using Tech Force® Match Wadcutters). The combination of light cocking, light weight, a great trigger and super accuracy make the Contender 49 a wonderful air rifle for almost every purpose. Comes with a 4x20 Scope and rings.
