Wasp air rifle pellets
After a hiatus, the legendary Wasp air rifle pellet has returned from exile. John Rothery Wholesale is bringing back the iconic brand. The tins are a new size and weight, but the contents are promised to be very much the same as they always were. This may well be a canny move, catching the sense of nostalgia and fun that is currently propelling the air rifle market. Wasp air rifle pellets are available in .177, distinguished by the red tin, and .22 in the purple tin.

Swazi Skål cap
Designed to keep your napper warm on those cold and windy days, New Zealand-based cult clothing brand Swazi Apparel has released a new hat, crowned the Skål, meaning ‘cheers’ in Norwegian—a phrase you’ll be repeating in thanks for this great new cap.
Made from 210gsm microfleece, it’s incredibly soft and lightweight and the close-fitting style means it can also be worn under a helmet, adding a touch of softness without the bulk. Made to be warm and breathable, it provides the ultimate protection against the elements and works with your body to keep you comfortable and dry. Available in one size in a range of colours, including black, olive, tussock and glacier.
RRP £16.95

Winchester ZZ Canard
What is the greatest problem when pursuing ducks? The speed they fly at. The ZZ Canard, measured travelling at 440m/s in 12-bore, gives you a significant advantage.
Yet despite its high velocity, the relatively light load of 33g ensures that shooting remains very comfortable. The steel pellets are coated with a fine layer of tin to provide effective protection against corrosion.
The ZZ Canard is also available in 20-bore. It propels its 25g load of steel shot at 420m/s.
RRP from £14.99

Winchester SX4 Stealth
OK, so it’s not a brand-new gun, as they seem thin on the ground at the moment. But this is a popular semi-auto and it is now available in a rather special ‘stealth’ green. The hunting green colour scheme is injection-dyed into the mass to retain the SX4’s original looks. It is chambered in 12/76 to handle a wide selection of cartridges, right up to the heaviest. And the 30mm Inflex pad absorbs recoil so you don’t have to.
RRP £760
