The most underrated rifles in South Africa.

Most people don’t want to spend loads of money when they buy their first rifle, effectively ruling out brands like Weihrauch, BSA and Air Arms. Most of them prefer to go for brands like Gamo and Hatsan because it is well known and much cheaper. The problem with most of these cheaper brands is that you end up paying more in the long run due to frequent repairs (mostly broken springs and worn seals) and the fact that you soon want to upgrade to something better.

This brings us to the most underrated brand of all, Norica. Most airgunners know the famous BSA Supersport. Well, the Norica is right up there with the same good quality and reliability. The big difference however is the price. The Norica Storm is almost R1000 cheaper than the Supersport!!!

No matter what you are looking for, there is a Norica for everyone.

If you prefer under-lever rifles, go for the Quick (1000ft/s).

If you prefer break barrel rifles, you simply must have the Storm (1000ft/s).

Maybe you want something with a different look. Well, the Dragon Special with its silver finish and synthetic magic-wood stock may be just the rifle for you (1000ft/s).

Some dads who want to teach their kids to shoot. The Titan is the right rifle for the job an probably the best rifle in its class and price range. Costing under R1000, it still delivers the accuracy of rifles that cost a lot more. It may not be a high power rifle, but it is still good enough so everyone in the family can have some fun with it (600ft/s).

So why is it such a neglected brand? Well, I suppose you can blame the Chinese for that… They flooded the market with cheap, bad quality rifles called the B2, B3 etc. and trade under the name Norinco (sometimes also called Airtech). When people hear the name Norica, most of then just assume that pronounced it wrong and that you are talking about a Norinco. So now that you know, don’t be the idiot that gets confused and miss an opportunity to own a great rifle.

Budget Hunting PCP

The questions we get the most is “What is the best PCP for hunting…” and “What is the cheapest PCP…”

So typically they are looking for a rifle at entry-level price with top-level quality. This sums up the FX Typhoon pretty well!



Designed by FX of Sweden, the Typhoon was built to provide the essential requirements for shooters without breaking the bank. In .177 caliber, the FX Typhoon makes an excellent target rifle and a great competition airgun for field target. The bolt action cocking is traditional and convenient. The breech is cut out with plenty of room for loading. Included with the Typhoon is a single-shot loading tray to place below the bolt probe for added convenience. At almost 25ft/lbs it has the power to satisfy hunters and plinkers alike.

The barrel is threaded for a silencer should you require it. For added support to the floating barrel, a band that supports the barrel shroud to the air cylinder is included with the rifle.
The FX Typhoon is available with a stylish, synthetic sporter stock or with an ambidextrous walnut stock for the traditional shooter.
