Power! Up to 1000 fps (in .177). Accuracy! 1" at 50 yards. NO recoil! Built in the USA, the Talon SS pre-charged pneumatic air rifle is for serious shooting. Field target, hunting, punching paper targets, shooting spinners and plinking are all perfect for the Talon SS...because it does everything so well! The easy-to-use power-adjust wheel takes your rifle from 400 fps to 1000 fps. You decide how much power you want and when you want it. If you're shooting field target...dial it down. Hunting...dial it up.
From its Lothar Walther barrel (1:16 twist) to its removable air tank, the Talon SS is the standard for state-of-the-art manufacturing of pre-charged pneumatics. Made of space-age polymers and aircraft-grade aluminum, the AirForce Talon SS is lightweight and equipped with a durable finish.
The removable 490cc air tank (DOT-certified) can be filled with a hand pump, scuba tank or electric compressor to 3000 psi (206 bar) for lots of shots without a refill. The tank does double-duty as the butt of the gun, contributing to its light weight and convenience. The tank has a pressure-release valve for additional safety.
Not sure which caliber to get? Get both! Extra barrels are available, and change-outs are quick and easy and don't require any special tools.
The Talon SS is the same basic rifle as the Talon, but an integral suppressor and a 12" barrel are standard. The shorter barrel makes it slightly lighter than the Talon, and the integral suppressor seriously reduces the report.
There are lots of ways to configure this gun, including rail-mounted accessories (coin-slot screws for each changeout). You can choose the scope, laser, flashlight, night vision equipment, extra tanks, quick-detach fiber-optic sights and attachments for the type of refilling unit you plan to use. If you replace the barrel with a longer one, the gun will not be silenced.
The Talon SS can use a very wide variety of pellets and round balls. Have a look at our suggestions in the AMMO link. Click the ACCESSORIES link to find scopes, targets, pumps and other nifty gear for your Talon SS.

Read MoreThings I liked:Light weight, solid build and very accurate Things I would have changed:Varible Power does not work very well What others should know:I recently purchased an Air Force Talon SS 22 rifle from PyramydAir and installed a favorite CenterPoint Power Class 3-12x44AO Compact Side Focus scope. The scope’s eye relief qualities are especially good for the type of shooting that I do. The Talon SS and this scope make a great combination for off hand “snap shooting.” I have reviewed the scope separately.
Right out of the black box, I was impressed with the light weight and solid look of the Talon SS. My scuba tank had only about 2300 psi left in it but that was enough for sighting in the scope and a trial run. My chrony read about 700 fps at a power setting of four. I changed the power setting to two and then to ten but I still got about 700 fps. I emailed Air Force and received a prompt reply that the power adjustment is effective between 3000 and 2300 psi. I had my scuba tank topped of at 3000 psi and with the power adjustment at four, I get 805 fps using Crosman Premier 14.3 gr pellets. After 30 shots, the pressure is about 2600 psi and the velocity is about 770 fps. I again tried the power adjustment at two and ten but still get less than 100 fps difference. So far, that is the only problem that I have found on this rifle. The accuracy is great. I bench shoot mostly to align and maintain the scope settings. About 90 percent of my shooting practice is off hand “snap shooting” at 3-inch diameter knockdown targets setup between 30 and 150 feet. Using Crosman Premier 14.3 gr pellets and with the scopes centerline mounted 3 inches above the centerline of the barrel, I set the trajectory’s first intersection at 65 feet with the second intersection falling at about 120 feet. The trajectory is 3/8 inch above the center of the target at about 95 feet and 3/8 inch below the center of the target at about 50 feet and 130 feet. That is a pretty flat trajectory within the range where I practice and I need only to offset +2.5 mil-dots at 30 feet and +1.0 mil-dots at 50 yards. These settings work well for me and with the side focus adjusted at 85 feet, I rarely change any of the settings. Using the mil-dot reticle, a cheat sheet can be made for shooting far beyond 50 yards however I rarely shoot outside my practice range. The Benjamin Discovery is one of my favorite air rifles but the Talon SS, even with a short 12 inch barrel, is more accurate and the shorter length adapts better to my style of shooting practice. I have added a rubber foamback strip for pellets on each side of the frame, just above the trigger, holding a total of 28 pellets. When I run out of pellets, I recharge the tank and refill the pellet strips. I added a red laser but I seldom use it. I have the laser centered at 25 feet and it shoots about ¾ inch low at 10 feet and ¼ inch high at 30 feet.
Air gun shooting has become a favorite sport for me and it is a very economical way to maintain good shooting skills. The transition back to rim fire or center fire is quick and effective.
To summarize, the Talon SS is a powerful and unique type of air rifle, almost a long pistol, but there is a learning curve in getting used to it. The accuracy is great and with the right scope, it is very adaptable to instinct and snap shooting. By keeping the pressure in the 2600 to 3000 psi range, the trajectory is constant. All said, I’m glad I made this purchase. The Talon SS 22 is serving me well.

Things I liked:Mind blowing accuracy. I can put three pellets touching at 35 yards. Lightweight and easy to shoot. The moderator does a good job. Can change tanks in the field for more hunting or switch to CO2 for all day plinking. Try that with a fixed reservoir gun! Things I would have changed:The scope height over bore is a little

Can change tanks in the field for more hunting or switch to CO2 for all day plinking. Try that with a fixed reservoir gun! Things I would have changed:The scope height over bore is a little high, appx 3", but a price worth paying for this gun. Be sure to scope carefully and keep checking the reticle. Any canting will result in lateral shift when you change distances. What others should know:I could write a book on this gun! Its a lot of fun to shoot! You'll love it. Things you should know. Pick up some diver's silicone (for Air not O2) at your local dive shop. My gun likes a 2600psi fill and valve locks a little above that. I recommend Beeman Kodiak MATCH 10.6gn 177 pellets for long range shooting and Beeman Crow Magnum 177 pellets for hunting. The H&N Baracuda MATCH and H&N Crow Magnum are the manufacturer's brand for the same pellets. Please consider buying a SCUBA tank instead of the AF pump as they cost nearly the same as each other. Look out for a 100cu.ft. 3000psi or preferably a 100cu.ft. 3500psi at your dive shop. If you want to delay the HPA option and shoot CO2 then I recommend the RWS R10 MATCH 7.0gn 177 pellet. It shoots accurately and very quietly and has a very similar POI to the heavy pellets running on HPA. I plink and target shoot with CO2 and switch to HPA for long range and knockdown power. Take the plunge, you won't be disappointed!!!!
