Which accessories does AirGhandi recommend for the AEA Megalodon MK2?

AirGhandi recommends three targeted additions for the AEA Megalodon MK2 F-Series: a CNC-milled aluminium additional magazine in caliber .50 with 10 shots, the Anschütz Optics Reflex Pro small (24x17) as a reflex sight, and – depending on personal preference – the Scalarworks LEAP/04 Trijicon RMR Mount in the 1.93-inch version as an elevated mount. He would initially leave the factory-fitted suppressor unchanged.

Why does a reflex sight suit the AEA Megalodon MK2?

The Megalodon MK2 is a pump-action PCP air rifle that, according to AirGhandi, is particularly suited for fast, dynamic standing shooting and plinking at multiple targets. A reflex sight with unlimited eye relief enables quick target acquisition without precise head positioning – which suits the operating philosophy of the rifle.

What are the technical specifications of the Anschütz Optics Reflex Pro small (24x17)?

The Anschütz Optics Reflex Pro small (24x17) has a 24 × 17 mm front lens, weighs 42 g, and offers three selectable reticles (dot, circle, circle with dot). The dot size is 2 MOA, the target circle 35 MOA. The adjustment range is 100 MOA in both elevation and windage, with a 1 MOA click value. The sight is waterproof to IP67, activates automatically by motion, and has an RMR footprint for Picatinny and Weaver rails.

Does the suppressor of the AEA Megalodon MK2 need to be replaced or upgraded?

Not necessarily, according to AirGhandi's assessment. The AEA Megalodon MK2 F-Series comes factory-fitted with an extended over-barrel suppressor that partially surrounds the barrel. This system provides effective noise reduction according to AirGhandi, which is why he recommends leaving the suppressor unchanged initially.

What are the differences between the AEA Megalodon MK1 and MK2?

The MK2 brings several improvements over the MK1 according to the manufacturer: a new 480-bar dual tank with integrated regulator, an additional 300-bar tank included in the delivery, an optimized front tank for more consistent pressure distribution, an improved extended suppressor, and two 12-shot metal magazines included as standard.

Why does AirGhandi recommend an additional CNC aluminium magazine for the Megalodon MK2?

Although the Megalodon MK2 already comes with two 12-shot metal magazines, AirGhandi recommends the additional CNC-milled aluminium magazine with 10 shots as an extension for longer plinking sessions. Having multiple loaded magazines ready allows continuous shooting in line with the pump-action principle, without interruption to reload.

How heavy is the complete optics setup consisting of the reflex sight and Scalarworks mount?

The Anschütz Optics Reflex Pro small (24x17) weighs 42 g, and the Scalarworks LEAP/04 mount weighs 48 g. The complete setup of sight and mount therefore comes to approx. 90 g – a low additional weight for a rifle that already weighs approx. 5.4 kg.

AirGhandi's Review of the AEA Megalodon MK2 F-Series Accessories

Q: What is the purpose of the Scalarworks LEAP/04 mount on the Megalodon MK2?

The Scalarworks LEAP/04 Trijicon RMR Mount in the 1.93-inch version positions the optic center at approx. 4.9 cm above the Picatinny rail. This enables an upright head position when shooting from a standing position. The mount weighs 48 g, is CNC-milled from a single piece of 7075-T6 aluminium, and features a tool-free quick-detach system with high return-to-zero accuracy.

The AEA Megalodon MK2 F-Series is a pump-action PCP air rifle in caliber .50 (12.7 mm) with a weight of approx. 5.4 kg and a length of approx. 112 cm. It operates with a dual-tank system: a 480-bar tank with an integrated regulator and an additional 300-bar tank included in the delivery. The energy is limited to under 7.5 joules in the F-version. A 22 mm Picatinny rail is located on top, and the package includes two 12-shot metal magazines as standard.

As part of his work with air rifles and accessories at jabolo.de, AirGhandi examined the Megalodon MK2 specifically to determine which accessories genuinely suit the character of this rifle. The result is a compact but carefully selected setup of three components.

What Makes the AEA Megalodon MK2 F-Series Special?

The most striking feature of the Megalodon MK2 is its caliber: .50 (12.7 mm) is an unusual dimension for an air rifle. However, the pump-action system is at least equally defining for the character of the rifle. After each shot, the forend is moved rearward and then forward again to chamber the next round, enabling a fast shot sequence without a separate cocking lever.

According to AirGhandi, the Megalodon's strengths lie less in classic benchrest shooting and more in dynamic, standing shooting at multiple targets or plinking. In his view, accessories should be aligned with exactly that purpose.

Compared to the first generation, AEA has improved several aspects in the MK2: the new 480-bar dual tank with regulator, the additional 300-bar tank, the optimized front tank for more consistent pressure distribution, and the redesigned, extended over-barrel suppressor. The suppressor partially surrounds the barrel, providing good noise reduction without excessive added length. AirGhandi describes the sound level of the Megalodon MK2 as pleasant despite the large caliber – which is why he would initially leave the factory-fitted suppressor unchanged.

Note on Magazine Capacity According to the Manufacturer

The AEA Megalodon MK2 F-Series is supplied with two 12-shot metal magazines according to jabolo.de. The manufacturer notes that due to the size of the 12-shot magazine, a Picatinny riser may be required when using optics – a point that is relevant when choosing the mount.

AirGhandi's Recommendation: Additional CNC Aluminium Magazine

Even though the Megalodon MK2 already comes with two magazines, AirGhandi sees potential for an additional one: the AEA Megalodon Magazine – CNC - Aluminum - 10-Shot.

This magazine holds 10 shots in caliber .50 and is made from CNC-milled aluminium. According to the product description, the precision feed design ensures consistent feeding – the loading mechanism works counter-clockwise, while the function operates clockwise. AirGhandi highlights the material quality as noticeably superior to basic plastic solutions: solid, handy, and matching the character of the rifle. Anyone planning longer plinking sessions benefits from having multiple loaded magazines ready – swap the magazine and keep shooting.

Capacity: 10 shots, caliber .50
Material: CNC-milled aluminium
Loading mechanism: counter-clockwise
Function: clockwise
Applications: training, leisure, and sporting use

The Right Reflex Sight: Anschütz Optics Reflex Pro small (24x17)

For optics, AirGhandi recommends a reflex sight – specifically the Anschütz Optics Reflex Pro small (24x17). His reasoning: the pump-action design and dynamic shooting principle of the Megalodon call for an optic that is immediately ready and does not require precise eye positioning.

The reflex sight has unlimited eye relief, a 24 × 17 mm front lens, and weighs only 42 g. It offers three selectable reticles (dot, circle, or circle with dot), a fine 2 MOA dot, and a 35 MOA target circle. The click value is 1 MOA, with a 100 MOA adjustment range in both elevation and windage. The 7-level brightness control enables use in varying light conditions. The sight is waterproof to IP67 and features an RMR footprint.

AirGhandi particularly highlights the automatic activation by motion: pick up the rifle and the reticle is immediately visible – no button press or menu navigation required. During a shooting break, no further interaction with the optic is needed.

Front lens: 24 × 17 mm
Weight: 42 g
Reticles: dot / circle / circle with dot (selectable)
Dot size: 2 MOA; circle: 35 MOA
Adjustment range: 100 MOA (elevation and windage)

AirGhandi's Recommendation for the Mount: Scalarworks LEAP/04 Trijicon RMR Mount

For those who want to position the reflex sight higher, the Scalarworks LEAP/04 Trijicon RMR Mount - 1.93" height - SW0420 is a compatible option. The mount is compatible with the RMR footprint of the Anschütz Optics Reflex Pro small (24x17).

The LEAP/04 is CNC-milled from a single piece of 7075-T6 aluminium and weighs 48 g. The optic center sits at 1.93 inches (4.9 cm) above the rail – enabling an upright head position when shooting from a standing position, which AirGhandi describes as significantly more comfortable on a rifle like the Megalodon.

The patented ClickDrive quick-detach system allows tool-free mounting with hand-tight tension only. An integrated spring-loaded ball detent provides recoil security. The mount is designed for high return-to-zero accuracy after repeated removal and reinstallation.

Material: 7075-T6 aluminium / 4140H steel
Finish: Type III hard anodized / flash nitride
Height (optic center): 1.93 inches (4.9 cm)
Weight: 48 g
System: Quick Detach (tool-free)
Rail: MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny
Compatible with: Anschütz Optics Reflex Pro small (24x17), Trijicon RMR / SRO / RCR, selected Holosun RMR footprint optics
Origin: USA

The reflex sight (42 g) and mount (48 g) together create an optics setup of approx. 90 g – a very low additional weight for the already heavy Megalodon.

The Recommended Complete Setup at a Glance

Based on his experience with air rifles and accessories at jabolo.de, AirGhandi suggests the following setup:

AEA Megalodon MK2 F-Series – factory-fitted with over-barrel suppressor, Picatinny rail and two 12-shot metal magazines
AEA Megalodon Magazine – CNC - Aluminum - 10-Shot – high-quality additional magazine made from CNC aluminium
Anschütz Optics Reflex Pro small (24x17) – lightweight reflex sight with 2 MOA dot and motion activation
Scalarworks LEAP/04 Trijicon RMR Mount - 1.93" height - SW0420 – elevated mount for upright head position (optional, depending on personal preference)

AirGhandi would initially leave the factory-fitted suppressor unchanged, as the over-barrel system performs well in his assessment.
