What Makes Multi-Pump Air Rifles Special

Multi-pump pneumatic rifles represent one of airgun shooting's most enduring designs—and for good reason. These rifles use a simple, reliable mechanism where you manually pump the forearm to compress air into an internal reservoir. Each pump stroke increases the air pressure, and you control exactly how much power each shot delivers by choosing how many times you pump.

The Multi-Pump Advantage:

• Adjustable Power: Pump 3 times for indoor target practice, 10 times for maximum hunting power
• No External Air Source: Completely self-contained—no CO2 cartridges, no compressors, no charging equipment needed
• Zero Operating Costs: After your initial purchase, every shot is free. No consumables required.
• Temperature Stable: Unlike CO2 rifles, multi-pumps perform consistently regardless of weather conditions
• Incredible Reliability: Proven designs that function flawlessly for decades with minimal maintenance
• Perfect for Teaching: Young shooters learn discipline and shooting fundamentals with controllable power

Multi-pump rifles excel as first airguns, economical plinkers, teaching tools, and practical small game rifles. Their simplicity makes them nearly indestructible, while their adjustability makes them versatile across multiple shooting applications.

Our Multi-Pump Collection: American Classics

Crosman Multi-Pump Rifles

Crosman has manufactured legendary multi-pump rifles for over 75 years, and models like the 362 and 2100 remain bestsellers for their proven reliability and impressive performance.

Crosman 362: Variable pump pneumatic rifle delivering up to 850 fps with lightweight pellets. This .22 caliber classic offers bolt-action precision, adjustable rear sights, and the power for both target shooting and small game hunting. Pump 3 times for 450 fps target velocity, or 10 times for maximum 850 fps hunting power. Built tough for decades of service.

Features you'll appreciate:

• Adjustable power from 3-10 pumps
• Bolt-action single-shot design for accuracy
• All-weather synthetic stock
• Shoots both pellets and BBs (model dependent)
• Velocities up to 850 fps (.22 cal) or 755 fps (.177 cal)
• Affordable pricing for premium performance

Crosman multi-pumps are the rifles that introduced millions to airgun shooting. They're rugged enough for farm use, accurate enough for competitive shooting, and economical enough to shoot all day without breaking the bank.

Daisy Multi-Pump Rifles

Daisy's multi-pump rifles represent American airgun heritage. Models like the 880 and 901 deliver the perfect combination of affordability, reliability, and performance that's made Daisy a household name for over a century.

Daisy 880 Powerline: Canada's most popular multi-pump rifle alongside the Red Ryder. This versatile .177 caliber rifle shoots both pellets and BBs with velocities up to 750 fps. The 880 features a traditional styling, hardwood stock options, fiber optic sights, and legendary Daisy durability—all at an entry-level price point that makes it accessible to everyone.

Why shooters love Daisy multi-pumps:

• Proven reliability tested over millions of rifles
• Easy pumping action suitable for youth and adults
• Versatile BB or pellet shooting
• Traditional aesthetics with modern performance
• Outstanding value for the price
• Readily available replacement parts and accessories

Daisy multi-pumps serve as first rifles for countless young shooters who later advance to more powerful airguns—but many keep their Daisy for its simplicity, reliability, and sentimental value.

Benjamin Multi-Pump Rifles

Benjamin brought precision and power to multi-pump designs. Their rifles feature enhanced triggers, better sights, and premium construction that elevates multi-pump performance to hunting-grade capability.

Benjamin Variable Pump Models: Traditional styling meets modern performance in Benjamin's multi-pump lineup. These rifles deliver stunning accuracy, smooth pumping mechanisms, and the power needed for ethical small game harvests. Many feature hardwood stocks, adjustable triggers, and precision barrels that produce groups rivaling far more expensive airguns.

Ideal Applications for Multi-Pump Rifles

Youth Shooting and Training

Multi-pump rifles excel as training tools for young and new shooters. The adjustable power lets you start with low-velocity shots that build confidence without intimidation, then progressively increase power as skills develop. The pumping action teaches responsibility—each shot requires deliberate preparation, encouraging thoughtful shooting rather than rapid-fire waste.

Parents appreciate the safety and control multi-pumps provide. You determine how much power goes into each shot based on the shooter's age, experience, and intended use. This adjustability creates a rifle that grows with the shooter rather than being outgrown in a season.

Backyard Plinking and Target Shooting

For affordable, enjoyable backyard shooting, multi-pumps can't be beaten. The low operating cost means you shoot as much as you want without worrying about expensive pellets or CO2 cartridges. Pump to low power for short-range plinking at reactive targets, or pump to full power for 25-50 meter precision shooting.

The moderate report and velocity make multi-pumps ideal for residential areas where noise concerns exist. They're quiet enough for backyard use while delivering satisfying accuracy and target engagement.

Small Game Hunting and Pest Control

Don't underestimate multi-pump hunting capability. A .22 caliber rifle pumped to maximum pressure delivers 12-15 foot-pounds of energy—more than adequate for ethical harvests on rabbits, squirrels, and pest birds within appropriate ranges (typically under 30 meters).

The single-shot design encourages careful shot placement—exactly what ethical hunters demand. The ability to adjust power means you can reduce velocity for close-range pest control or maximize power for hunting situations.

Emergency Preparedness

Multi-pump rifles require zero consumables, making them ideal for emergency kits or remote cabins where resupply isn't guaranteed. As long as you have pellets (which store indefinitely), your rifle remains functional. No batteries to die, no gas cartridges to expire, no compressors to fail.

Why Multi-Pump Rifles Offer Unbeatable Value

Minimal Operating Costs

After your initial rifle purchase, multi-pumps cost virtually nothing to operate. A tin of 500 pellets ($10-20) provides hundreds of shooting sessions. Compare this to:

• CO2 rifles: Require $1-2 in cartridges per 40-50 shots
• PCP rifles: Need expensive compressors ($300-800) or hand pumps ($60-150)
• Firearms: Ammunition costs $0.25-0.50+ per shot

For budget-conscious shooters, families, or anyone wanting to shoot frequently, multi-pumps deliver unmatched cost-per-shot value.

Longevity and Durability

Quality multi-pump rifles routinely function for 20-30 years with minimal maintenance. The simple mechanism has few parts to fail, and those that do wear are inexpensive and easily replaced. Many shooters still use Crosman and Benjamin multi-pumps purchased decades ago—rifles that have fired tens of thousands of rounds and remain perfectly functional.

This longevity makes multi-pumps excellent long-term investments. The rifle you buy today could serve you for life, then pass to the next generation still shooting accurately.

No License Required Options

Many multi-pump rifles deliver velocities under 500 fps, meaning they require no firearms license in Canada. This makes them accessible to any Canadian who wants to enjoy shooting sports without navigating licensing requirements. Perfect for cottages, farms, or anyone seeking simple, legal airgun ownership.

Multi-Pump vs. Other Powerplant Types

Understanding how multi-pumps compare to other air rifle types helps you choose wisely:

Multi-Pump vs. Break-Barrel (Spring/Gas Piston):

• Multi-pumps offer adjustable power; break-barrels deliver fixed power
• Multi-pumps require pumping before each shot; break-barrels cock with barrel break
• Multi-pumps have zero recoil; break-barrels produce characteristic air rifle recoil
• Multi-pumps cost nothing to operate; break-barrels also have no operating costs
• Multi-pumps typically less powerful than adult break-barrels but adequate for most uses

Multi-Pump vs. PCP (Pre-Charged Pneumatic):

• Multi-pumps need no external air source; PCPs require compressors or hand pumps
• Multi-pumps deliver 1 shot per pumping session; PCPs provide 20-100+ shots per fill
• Multi-pumps cost $100-400; PCPs start at $400 and often exceed $1,000
• Multi-pumps suit casual shooting; PCPs excel for serious hunting and competition

Multi-Pump vs. CO2:

• Multi-pumps work in any temperature; CO2 loses power in cold weather
• Multi-pumps have no operating costs; CO2 requires constant cartridge purchases
• Multi-pumps offer adjustable power; CO2 delivers fixed (and declining) power per cartridge
• Both offer simple, reliable operation

For most recreational shooters, especially those on budgets or in cold climates, multi-pumps provide the best balance of performance, economy, and reliability.

Maintenance and Care

Multi-pump rifles require minimal maintenance—part of their enduring appeal:

Regular Care (Every 500 Shots):

• Clean barrel with brass brush and patches
• Wipe down exterior metal surfaces
• Check and tighten stock screws if needed
• Apply light oil to pump linkage pivot points

Annual Maintenance:

• Add 1-2 drops of air tool oil into pump chamber
• Inspect and lubricate O-rings (if accessible)
• Check pump cup leather condition
• Clean and oil pump linkage thoroughly

Long-Term Service (Every 5-10 Years):

• Replace pump cup leather ($5-15 part)
• Replace O-rings and seals ($10-20 kit)
• Professional tune-up if needed ($40-80)

Most multi-pump rifles deliver thousands of shots between service intervals, and when service is needed, parts cost just a few dollars.

Choosing Your Multi-Pump Rifle

For Young/New Shooters: Choose .177 caliber models with smooth pumping mechanisms like the Daisy 880. Lighter weight and easier pumping suit smaller shooters while .177 ammunition costs less for high-volume practice.

For Versatile Family Rifle: Select .22 caliber models with moderate power like the Crosman 362. Adequate power for pest control and small game while remaining manageable for various family members.

For Maximum Performance: Opt for premium Benjamin multi-pumps with adjustable triggers and quality sights. These deliver accuracy approaching dedicated target rifles while maintaining multi-pump versatility.

For Budget Consciousness: Daisy multi-pumps provide outstanding value, delivering reliable performance at entry-level prices that make airgun shooting accessible to everyone.
