Anschutz 9015 Black Edition Alu .177 Air Rifle – Field Target PCP Precision Rifle

SKU: ANS-9015-BLK-ALU-177  |  Brand: Anschutz  |  Calibre: .177 (4.5mm)  |  Power: Sub-12 ft/lbs PCP

If you’re serious about Field Target shooting – and I mean really serious – then the Anschutz 9015 Black Edition Alu HP deserves a very long look. This isn’t just another PCP air rifle. This is a precision instrument built from the ground up by one of the most respected names in competitive shooting, and it shows in every single aspect of the rifle’s design, feel and performance.

Whether you’re a seasoned competitor chasing those elusive knock-downs at 50 metres or a developing shooter looking for a genuine competition-grade platform to grow into, the 9015 Black Edition Alu HP ticks every box. Let’s take a proper look at what makes this rifle stand out from the crowd.

What Exactly Is the Anschutz 9015 High Power (HP) System?

At the heart of this air rifle sits the Anschutz 9015 HP (High Power) pre-charged pneumatic action – a system that’s been refined and battle-tested at the very highest levels of international air rifle competition. The HP designation means you’re getting enhanced efficiency and greater air utilisation compared to the standard 9015 platform, which translates directly into more consistent shot-to-shot performance and excellent shot count per fill.

Crucially, despite the “High Power” name, the 9015 Black Edition Alu HP is rated at sub-12 ft/lbs, making it fully compliant with UK Field Target competition regulations and legal for use without a firearms certificate under current UK law. It’s the best of both worlds: the power and consistency of an HP system, within the limits that matter for UK shooters.

Rigid Aluminium Stock – Built for Competition, Not Compromise

The Black Edition name isn’t just about aesthetics, though I’ll admit it does look absolutely stunning. The stock on this rifle is machined from rigid black aluminium, and that choice of material is a deliberate engineering decision. Aluminium gives you a stable, warp-resistant platform that won’t shift or settle with changes in temperature or humidity – the kind of variables that can play havoc with a wooden stock over a long competition day.

The right-hand configuration sits naturally and ergonomically, and the overall balance of the rifle makes it genuinely comfortable to use across multiple stages of a Field Target course. This is a rifle that works with you, not against you.

11mm Prism Rail, UIT Accessory Rail & Optics Compatibility

The receiver is fitted with an 11mm prism rail – the standard format for mounting quality telescopic sights in Field Target and precision air rifle competition. Whether you favour a high-magnification side-wheel scope for accurate range-finding or a lighter optic for faster target acquisition, the rail will accommodate your preferred setup without issue.

Beneath the stock, the integrated UIT accessory rail opens up a wealth of options. Attach a bipod for more consistent prone and kneeling positions, or use it with a hand stop or sling to suit your preferred shooting style. It’s a small detail but one that makes a real practical difference in competition settings where every marginal gain matters.

Why the Anschutz 9015 Black Edition Is a Top Choice for UK Field Target Shooting

Field Target is arguably the most technically demanding discipline in air rifle shooting. You’re engaging steel knock-down targets with kill zones as small as 15mm at distances ranging from around 8 metres out to 55 metres, and you need to range-find, calculate hold-over and execute a clean trigger break – sometimes in awkward positional stances, sometimes against the clock. Your equipment needs to be absolutely trustworthy.

The 9015 Black Edition Alu HP delivers on that trust. Shot-to-shot velocity consistency is exceptional, which is exactly what you need when you’re dialling in your scope and trusting your range estimation. The PCP action is smooth and predictable, the trigger – as you’d expect from Anschutz – is superbly crisp and adjustable to your personal preference. This is a rifle that will not let you down when it counts.

For international Field Target disciplines and WFTF competition formats, the sub-12 ft/lbs rating ensures compliance across the board. Whether you’re shooting BFTA affiliated club events or travelling to international competitions, this rifle is ready.
