Kral Bighorn PCP Air Rifle Review: Big-Bore Turkish Power, Precision & Craftsmanship

A sleek air rifle leaning against a tree trunk in the outdoors

Stepping up to .25 or .30 caliber power doesn’t have to mean breaking the bank—or lugging around a clunky rifle. Enter the Kral Bighorn, the newest heavy-hitter in Airfire Tactical’s line-up. Built in Turkey by Kral Arms, the Bighorn marries old-world walnut craftsmanship with modern PCP gun engineering to deliver serious energy for long-range target work and medium-game hunting.

Why the Bighorn Air Rifle Belongs in Your Rack

1. True Big-Bore Energy

With a 500 cc cylinder topping out at 250 BAR, the Bighorn cranks out high foot-pound figures (upwards of 70–80 FPE in .30 with the right pellet). That’s coyote-class punch in a platform that still shoulders like a sporting rifle.

2. Walnut You Can Feel

Turkey’s gun-making regions are famous for dense, straight-grained walnut. The Bighorn’s stock isn’t just eye-candy—it damps vibration, adds heft in all the right places, and features tool-grade checkering for slip-free control. The sliding rubber buttpad and adjustable cheekpiece help you glue your eye to the scope, shot after shot.

3. Smooth Biathlon-Style Side Lever

Fast follow-ups matter in hunting and pest-control scenarios. The elongated lever cycles the magazine with minimal effort, and its forward placement keeps your trigger hand locked in.

4. Range-Ready Out of the Box

A full-length barrel shroud tames bark, while the ½-UNF thread lets you add an external moderator for backyard-friendly shooting. Up top, a continuous Picatinny rail means any optic—from compact red-dot to 50 mm glass—mounts rock-solid.

Field Takeaway

If you’re ready to graduate from small-bore plinking to serious energy—without sacrificing polish or busting your budget—the Kral Bighorn is the Turkish sledgehammer you’ve been waiting for. Add a quality scope, dial in your preferred pellet or slug, and you’ve got a long-range tack-driver capable of anchoring game or punching ragged holes in paper at 100 yards.
