This rifle had to be built up to a quality standard not down to a price - if achieving the price goal could not be achieved without compromising quality then the entire project would be abandoned – the legendary Logun standard has been built up over many years and it is too important to be ignored for the sake of economics.
The heart of any PCP air rifle is the valving system; this controls the flow and volume of air that propels the pellet along the barrel and on towards its target.
In conventional air rifles this is usually a stand-alone unit that is fed from the air reservoir and transfers it to the breech, invariably this is a complex and complicated system.
In the Solo a totally radical and unique new system has been developed, the new valve system is actually part of the air receiver.
This new system has been dubbed IVAR, Integrated Valve and Receiver system. The result of this new technology is that the air has a shorter distance to travel to the pellet, minimising lock time (the time from squeezing the trigger to the pellet beginning its forward travel) and maximising efficiency by not wasting air.
The exemplary performance of the rifle is down to three crucial factors; the efficient IVAR system, the precision lapped Logun designed high carbon steel barrel and the sweet fully adjustable two stage trigger.
The 385mm barrel is manufactured using laser precision, ensuring each barrel is straight, true and rifled to exactingly tight tolerances.
Any pellet that travels along this beautifully machined barrel is set on a journey that is consistent and perfectly accurate.
The newly designed two-stage trigger system is fully adjustable enabling the individual to tailor the trigger to suit their style of shooting. It features a smooth first stage and a crisp positive second action stage. It is a trigger that would not be out of place on a rifle costing twice the price of the Solo.
To complement the mechanical accuracy afforded to the Solo by the IVAR system, the trigger and the precision barrels a superb, ergonomically perfect beech stock has been fitted.
This ambidextrous beauty is a pleasure to use, making shouldering the rifle a smooth and precise movement, the shooter instantly on target and comfortable, aided by an ideal reach of pull and Logun detailed butt pad.
It may not cost as much as some of its stable mates but the Solo is all Logun – built up to a Standard not down to a price.
