OUR STORY: THE BIRTH OF AN OX
At the end of the 1970's two shooting enthusiasts decided to create a new and exciting air rifle mainspring and at the start of the 1980's it became a reality. Adverts were placed in the trade press announcing the imminent arrival of the OX Mainspring®. A fever pitch was reached throughout the air rifle community, all eagerly awaiting the opportunity of buying and fitting the new OX Mainspring®. Some, not so qualified in the finer arts of air rifle tuning, found that forcing an OX Mainspring® into a rifle had some not so expected outcomes. The others however benefited from the strength of an OX and after fitting them and tuning their rifles never looked back.
Throughout the 1980's OX Mainspring® became a recognised go to name for after market air rifle mainsprings sold in gun shops around the world. The original founders moved on to pastures new and a new caretaker of The House of OX took over. Since then the OX Mainspring® business has been kept within the same family which continues to this very day.
Since our early days technological advancements have since produced Gas Rams, CO2 and PCP air rifles but the appeal and use of springer air rifles continue to outsell these alternatives due to their simplicity, reliability, value for money and the ease of owner maintenance and tuning. The skill level to shoot a recoil springer compared to a PCP has produced many a heated discussion over a drink at the bar.
These days as a business we are developing new products that support and enhance our brand, as our website says QUALITY IS NEVER BY CHANCE and we take this ethos into everything we do. In 2021 we will have been trading for over 40 years, we don't know what the next 40 hold but we are sure that we will always be proud of the products that we produce and share with our shooting communities.
