Suffolk Air Rifles is a division of Birds Tackle, in Great Blakenham, near Ipswich, Suffolk. Birds Tackle was established in 1981 and Suffolk Air Rifles became part of the company in 2014. Air rifles are not new to Birds Tackle because they have been selling air rifles since the mid-‘90s, but they decided to invest in the shooting arm of the business and Suffolk Air Rifles was born. It has since grown into one of the biggest airgun shops in Suffolk.
Suffolk Air Rifles is now a large part of the business and the company continues to offer
innovations from the trade, catering for all types of shooter, from the beginner to avid enthusiasts.
