Katran XB HP – a powerful air rifle for long-range precision

If you are looking for a PCP air rifle specifically developed for shooting slugs, the Katran XB HP by AirMaks is a remarkable choice. This air rifle combines an impressive 700 mm long barrel with a thoughtfully ergonomic design. The modern AR15-style handle, fully adjustable metal stock, and KeyMod handguard make this a versatile precision instrument for recreational long-distance shooting.

Our experience with this air rifle

At Shogun, we have extensively tested this air rifle, and what immediately stands out is the well-considered balance between power and handling. With a weight of only 3.3 kg, it feels surprisingly light for such a powerful model. The folding stock is a clever addition – it reduces the total length from 1210 mm to 963 mm, ideal for transport and storage. The robust metal construction exudes quality without compromising ease of use.

Technology and performance

This PCP air rifle operates with a fill pressure up to 300 bar and delivers impressive performance with 80 joules. The large 500 cc air reservoir allows for long shooting sessions without constant refilling. The barrel has a twist rate of 1/17.7, specifically optimised for shooting slugs. With a magazine capacity of 16 shots, you can keep shooting comfortably. The integrated moderator and the 1/2 UNF barrel end provide extra options for customisation.

Use and operation

The operation of this airgun is surprisingly intuitive. The side lever operates smoothly and can be adjusted for both left- and right-handed use – a thoughtful feature. The single-action trigger system is fully adjustable, as are the cheek piece and stock length. Thanks to the internal regulator, your shots remain consistent, while the safety catch ensures safe use. The magazine is included, so you can get started straight away.

Who is this air rifle intended for?

The Katran XB HP is clearly designed for the advanced shooter seeking maximum precision and power. Due to the many adjustment options and its specialised character, this is not an entry-level model, but rather a powerful air rifle for enthusiastic shooters looking to take their skills to the next level. With the 22mm Weaver top rail, you can easily mount a rifle scope for even better results.
