Stoeger X-Series - An Air Powered Addition of Hard-Hitting Air Rifles!

ACCOKEEK, MD (August 1, 2008) -- Stoeger Industries announces the introduction of an exciting new line of modern high-tech air rifles-the Stoeger X-Series. Developed by Italian engineers and designers, these high-power air rifles embody the fine styling of quality European sporting arms combined with rugged, ergonomic design and quality manufacture.

Stoeger's high-velocity, single-shot air rifles are chambered for .177-caliber pellets and are powered by a fast and convenient break-action, spring-and-piston mechanism. Stoeger X-Series air rifles have two-stage triggers and shoot both alloy and hard-hitting lead pellets. Alloy pellets achieve a velocity of anywhere from 800 feet-per-second (fps) in the X5, to 1200 fps in the X10 and X20, and a blazing 1500 fps in the X50. The rifle is charged and ready to shoot with a single stroke of the muzzle-mounted ergonomic cocking handle. Stoeger air rifles feature an ambidextrous automatic safety, conveniently located at the rear of the receiver that eliminates the need to place your finger near the trigger to operate the safety.

Stoeger X-Series rifles are fitted with red fiber-optic front sights and fully adjustable rear sights with green fiber-optic inserts for maximum visibility. Scope combo packages are available with factory-mounted 4x32mm scopes or 3-9x40mm Adjustable Parallax scopes. The new X-Series models offer a wide range of stocks and finishes, including quality hardwood in Monte Carlo-style or hunter-style and light-weight synthetic in matte black or Advantage Timber® HD™ camouflage. All models are fitted with non-slip rubber butt-pads and the X20 and X50 stocks feature checkered grips and fore-ends.

"It's not every day that a major firearms manufacturer gets to introduce an exciting new line of products, and I know our customers will enjoy Stoeger's new X-Series air rifles," said Stephen McKelvain, Benelli USA's VP of Marketing & Communications. "They represent the high quality and value expected of the Benelli family of products."
