During the 1970s in the UK El Gamo marketed two air rifles, the Marksman, a conventional .22 rifle with a fitted and pre-zeroed telescopic sight, and the Paratrooper repeater, a .177 pistol-gripped repeating rifle incorporating a tubular magazine along the top of the cylinder, and using a rising/falling breech mechanism for positioning the pellet.
The rifle is available in .177 (4.5mm) and in .22 (5.5mm) calibre. It is loaded by a break-action system and the pellet is placed into the breach. The rifle has an accurate range up to 50 yards but will still remain powerful up to 80 yards. It weighs 5.7 pounds (2.6 kg) and is 43.5 inches (1,100 mm) long. The barrel is 13 inches (330 mm).

The locking bar system allows for even stress to be distributed and prevent canting of the scope mount. Another form of scope canting is caused by the rings themselves. Many Weaver-type mounts, including many Picatinny-type scope rings and even the Redfield Type, have either two or four screws on top of the scope ring that hold the scope in place.
