.22 Caliber air rifles are becoming increasingly popular and the Surgemax Elite is now available in this hard-hitting caliber. The Surgemax Elite in .22 launches lead pellets at 800 FPS and lightweight alloy pellets at 1000 FPS. This easy-to-use break barrel design is easy to load and charge as a result of the powerful and smooth T.N.T Gas Piston power unit. Expect the sound report generated by the pellet to be minimized with the SilenceAir sound moderator device installed on the barrel. Optics can be easily mounted on the Surgemax Elite’s long Nucleus Rail.
