Say Hi To A Brand-New Kral!

The editor is back on the test range alongside a rifle built for maximum performance

First, it’s great to be back on the range, albeit one of my ‘unofficial’ ones, and testing rifles again. I can’t believe how much I’ve missed this essential part of my editorial duties, and I’m determined to make the most of every session, in the hope that we won’t be subjected to a second lockdown. Actually, my range-testing accessories bag already has two empty pellet tins in it as I write, so yes, I’m making up for those lost testing opportunities. Right, that’s enough of the pandemic stuff, let’s see what’s on the test bench this month.

THE KRAL HI-CAP

You’re looking at the new Jumbo Hi-Cappre-charged pneumatic multi-shot from Kral Airguns of Turkey, and it comes via sole UK agents, Range Right. The Range Right association is more than that of an importer and agent, though, because the British connection works alongside Kral to give UK customers what they need, and that relationship is yielding genuine results. In short, Range Right speaks and Kral listens, then acts. Range Right’s renowned gunsmith, Dave, is at the heart of technical negotiations, and I’ve seen for myself the upgrades his shared expertise has brought about. More of this later; for now let’s do the overview.
