My buddy Kevin, has a .308 Texan and he has a lot experience with these rifles. Warned me that I’ll need to delead the barrel after 50 or so shots and that was spot on. We both take our cleaning supplies on a shoot.I will say the Texan is so much fun, uses way less air than my DAQs, and much less lead than the .458 and .58. Awesome accurate and powerful rifle.
Thanks Tom!I made it. Look through here for build photos and more of the rifle. https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=150142.100
200 yards in the wind? Good shooting!I have a .257 Texan with Maddog Stock. Fun air rifle. I’ve only gotten out to shoot in once but am chomping at the bit to get out with it again. Texan came with a bunch of cast 257420 72 grain bullets. I got the Arsenal Mold that they were made from. Best group of the day was 1 1/4” at 100yards. (Kevin shot that group) I hit steel at 200 yards no sweat, but I’d not call it a group. My buddy Kevin, has a .308 Texan and he has a lot experience with these rifles.

Awesome accurate and powerful rifle.I will have to take a look at the barrel and see it if is fouled. I did fire lap the barrel with about 50 rounds of progressively finer lapping compound to help prevent fouling.I agree the rifle does very well with economic air consumption.
At the tank and if you back the reg pressure off the reg vents too.

The regulator manufacturer makes vented and non-vented models. This is model 415-5000. The non-vented model is 415-5000NV.
