AirForce Texan Big Bore Air Rifle

Everything! My .357 literally flipped a 130 lb wild hog sideways on impact. Lights out. I've had other .357 air rifles, A Benjamin Bulldog, and a Snowpeak M25. They don't even come anywhere CLOSE to what my Texan pumps out. Wish my state allowed a bigger selection of game to legally hunt with air rifles.

NOT A DARN THING

You won't regret getting this.

Love everything about this PCP. Light, Powerful and accurate.

I wouldn't change it but it would be nice if they would come out with a model with a magazine. But dont stop making the single shot

One of the best pcps you can buy for hunting.

The quality of the air gun is very good. The accuracy is just not there. I have tried 10-15 different pellets and I can not shoot anything under a 3 inch group at 40 yards.

Nothing for the gun. Just the accuracy.

There are a lot of cheaper air rifles with a lot better accuracy.

Everything! light, Powerful and accurate

Do away with the dove tail and go with Picatinny rail!.

This is not a FX paper or bird shooter! It is a hunting pcp capable of taking coyotes at 150 plus yards.

Everything!!!!!!!!

Nothing at all. I have a avenger 25 cal that i like and a AEA 357 big bore that i like but, when it comes the Texan 257,,,, It's in a class all in its own! It's just a amazing rifle. Very well thought out build. Once you buy a Texan you will want another one.

If you're looking for your first powerful pcp, look no farther! You won't be disappointed. And make sure you get the 10 for$ 10 so when you get your Texan you can just air up and enjoy the experience.

What's not to like, it's American made, very accurate, hard shooting and looks like something Buck Rogers would have

Nothing at all it's nearly perfect

I the 308 Texan and with 118 grain slugs it maintains an average velocity of 954 ft per second without any modifications and with lighter slugs you will be super sonic before you know. When you pull this gun out you will feel like it's your gal ,maybe snuggling up to it and whisper sweat nothings in to it's breach. It's a fine piece of equipment that you will be proud to own and pass down to your next of kin.

For me it would be alot easier to list things i don't like about it, NOTHING!!! I have 25 cal avenger and aea357 big bore and this is far better than ether one hands down g,all day long!

nothing.

If you buy a Texan,, it will be your fav pcp.

I love the whole gun!!!!! I have a 25 modified Avenger 70 plus fpe , I also have a AEA 357 big bore Challenger standard 300 plus fpe. Hands down the 257 AirForce Texan is my fav!!!!!!

Nothing at all!

Don't let the price determine whether you buy or not. It is by far the best pcp you can buy!!!

I bought a new Seneca Recluse.357 in March from PA, had it sent right to Saddle Mountain Gunsmith to have Will Piatt power tune it. He sent me chrony results. After the tune it made 192 fpe from a 140 grain bullet at 786 fps. It made 191 from an 81 grain at 1030 fps. I saw the ad on PA, the Texan is the most powerful production air rifle made. So I bought one to see. I had PA do the 10 for $10 test. (Always a great idea). They sent chrony results. An 81 grain JSB , same as Will Piatt used, made 217 fpe at 1100 fps. I knew from the first shot fired it had more than my tuned Recluse. It has more solid feel. More kick, more sound. I had to buy suppressors, they both sound alike, LOUD! I already had a Neil Clague for the Recluse, and a DonnyL for another rifle. Both are quiet now. It comes to what you want. Will Piatt sadly passed away in July, his business died as well. The Recluse is still my favorite. Beautiful wood stock and deeply blued. The Texan is painted and easy to nick.

Make it blued instead of painted. I don't care for the tank end. It just has that shoulder rest. I still can't get it adjusted where I want it.

It's been said, You don't need it, you just want it. You'll want this. It is the most powerful .357 production air rifle made. It's quite expensive, I paid $720 for my Recluse and another $300 for the tune. The Texan was $1160. I almost traded the .357 Texan for the .45 cal, but why? The .45 will take deer or hogs, but I only hunt groundhogs.

I have had nothing but trouble with this gun. Whoever designed the way you attach air tank to gun...bad design. The air tank always became "loose" and I had to start the attachment process all over again. The sprocket tool used to tighten air tank is difficult and tedious to use. I have fired approximately 75 rounds through gun. The last time I fired gun was on the target range. The gauge on bottle indicated it was half full. After I loaded a .357 pellet into breech I cocked gun, released the safety and when I fired, all I heard was a "click". Obviously the gauge on air tank was defective. When I contacted Airforce, they gave me a return authorization to ship rifle to them...at my expense. I spent approximately $200 to purchase a box, packing material, and shipping charge. This was 6 weeks ago, and I haven't received any communications from Airforce. I have never had to ship a defective firearm to a manufacturer on my dime. Very unhappy...

Better process to attach air tank to rifle...the sprocket tool is a terrible design.

I would not recommend this rifle.
