Sidewinder Compact | Western Airguns
The Western Airguns Sidewinder Compact is a particularly versatile PCP air rifle that stands out due to its unique semi-automatic and fully automatic firing modes. With a simple switch, you can alternate between both modes, making this air rifle perfect for both precision shooting and rapid-fire sequences. Its compact size of 67.3 cm and weight of 3.5 kg make it surprisingly manageable for its power output of up to 98 joules.
Our experience with the Sidewinder Compact | Western Airguns
The first thing you notice about the Sidewinder is the well-considered build quality. The combination of polymer and metal feels solid without being unnecessarily heavy. The AR-style pistol grip sits comfortably in the hand, and the adjustable trigger can be perfectly set to your preference. The 22mm Weaver rail provides space for any type of rifle scope you wish to mount.

As a PCP air rifle, the Sidewinder operates with an air cylinder that you fill up to a maximum of 300 bar. The regulated action ensures consistent performance, while the American TJ hammer forged barrel of 43.2 cm guarantees excellent precision. The removable airgun magazine holds 15 shots in 5.5mm/.22 caliber. The barrel end is fitted with 1/2 UNF threading for mounting a moderator. Curious about all the technical details?
