Founded in 1976 by Giampiero Pardini, Pardini Armi is an Italian sporting gun company that manufactures a complete range of target air and .22 LR pistols and rifles, as well as various large caliber semi-automatic pistol variants featuring a modified Browning-type locking system. Specialised production, maximum flexibility and efficient after-sales service enable Pardini Armi to provide shooters with innovative and extremely competitive products.
After almost forty years on the top podiums of shooting competitions, the company confirms its excellent state of health and maturity by consolidating its catalogue with a new version of the GPR1 Bench Rest air rifle for competition use. Also updated are the pistols designed for 25-meter events.
New Pardini GPR1 Bench Rest rifle
In the air rifle sector, the GPR1 series has been expanded and now includes the new Bench Rest variant. The new rifle uses the GPR1 platform designed for indoor competitions at 10 meters by providing a series of accessories that optimise it for bench rest shooting: a Centra Spy rear sight mounted on a 100-mm dovetailed rail, Centra Score M22 tunnel, Pardini butt plate with ambidextrous cheekpiece, MEC Catamaran Eco (BR) support rail. The Centra Spy BR rear sight is available on request. The GPR1 Bench Rest model is also available in silver, black, red and blue finishes, and in the Lightweight and high-power (16 joules) GPR16 versions.
The 25-meter pistol series sees the introduction of a functional and aesthetic update to the slide of the SP, SP RF, HP, SP Bullseye and HP Bullseye models. The new component, derived from the one designed for the HI-TECH variants presented in 2024, features newly designed, ambidextrous and removable cocking handles, which improve the ergonomics and handling of the gun, particularly by those with small hands. For the SP and SP RF models in .22 LR, the magazine also changes, now supplied in the new carbon-reinforced polymer version made with modern 3D printers that are part of the company's production line. Here too, the change has an aesthetic and functional impact, with a wide base that improves ergonomics and grip. Lastly, the new version of the SP, SP RF, HP family is distinguished by renewed graphics. Also for target shooting pistols, the range of conversions in the catalog now includes .22 LR (Rapid Fire and Sport pistols) HI-TECH kits in black and British green for the HI-TECH series pistols.
