I am looking to upgrade for hunting and was wondering if anyone had input on a good .45 caliber airgun for the money for hitting the mark when it comes to consistancy shot count and accuracy for the money? thanks

Yardage and what you are planning on hunting game wise would allow us to give you better info on various guns.

I'm smitten with my AirForce Texan in .457.
But would like to get a Seneca / Sam Yang 909 to try someday.

At that range I would be looking at the AF Texan in 45 or 50 cal.

Realistically, at 100-150 yards on deer, I would be looking at a Centerfire.... Airgun velocities are just too low when you don't know the range, the trajectory is just too much to deal with.... Too much chance of wounding a deer, IMO....
