The Octane Elite follows in the footsteps of the gas piston Octane Air Rifle. Already a great small game hunter, the biggest addition to this winning design is the StopShox Anti-Recoil system. This feature is designed to cushion the forward thrust and recoil of the gas piston for a smooth shooting experience. The all-weather stock has been thickened up in all the right places. The new design has a wider rear stock for a better cheek weld, an enlarged pistol grip, and palm swell on the foregrip.
