The Umarex NXG APX Youth air rifle delivers precision shooting performance in a compact platform designed for smaller-framed shooters. This .177 caliber spring-piston rifle combines reliable single-shot accuracy with manageable dimensions that won't overwhelm young or petite shooters.
What Makes This Different
The NXG APX features a scaled-down design that maintains full-power performance while reducing overall length and weight compared to adult-sized air rifles. The break-barrel action generates consistent velocities up to 490 fps, providing effective range for target shooting and small pest control. The included 4x32mm scope eliminates the guesswork of iron sight alignment, allowing new shooters to focus on fundamentals rather than sight picture.
Key Features
- Spring-piston powerplant generates up to 490 fps with .177 pellets
- Youth-proportioned stock with 13-inch length of pull
- Break-barrel single-shot action with automatic safety
- Included 4x32mm scope with mounting rings

Field performance centers on consistent shot placement at ranges up to 50 yards. The spring-piston design requires no external power source or CO2 cartridges, making it ideal for backyard practice sessions and plinking activities. The synthetic stock withstands outdoor use while the steel barrel maintains accuracy through extended shooting sessions. The moderate power level produces minimal noise compared to higher-velocity air rifles.
