Made in USA ?

This is the first I have heard of this company as well.  AOA's web site doesn't list any FPS / FPE numbers on the specs either.

I guess if the big bores don't cause air gun regulations the powerful full autos will...Just keep it up air gun industry.  Just my thoughts, and I hope I'm wrong.

I agree.  I had a discussion with some friends around a campfire a few weeks ago about air gun regulations.  As soon as some idiot uses a big bore to commit a homicide, everything will change.

All I know is LCS, Manny. Dunno if they're made in the US.

etnhunter, triggertreat - I hear you. I hope that doesn't come to pass.

I'd vote for the Hatsan Bully, pretty reasonable with carbon bottle and lot of tuning potential.  Although, I've only got my .45 shooting at 250FPE so far, still hoping for 400...

A Bully is just about at the top of my list. How is yours treating you, Castmaster? I've read about how cocking that sidelever is a little heavy; what's your experience with it?

A .45 is exactly what I'm eyeing, and a big part of that is the 290FPE power levels. You say you're only getting 250? What ammo and weight are you using?

Speaking of ammo...how is the accuracy?

Would definitely like to hear your take on it.

Truthfully, and i know this sounds crazy but, I haven't shot the gun at a single target yet..!  Had it a few months but also have a one year old, another on the way, run a mid size electrical company and hardly get the time but I'm determined to tune it before I site it in and I want 920-960FPS with a 196gr Neilson slug at 5-10 shots first.  Hardly get tuning time in but enjoy and bought the gun specifically for that purpose.  Wish I could give a better out of the box review , maybe i'll put it back together and take some 30yrd groups to report with...

I hear you. My youngest is 7 months, so 2019 was pretty much a blur.  Shooting time is almost nil, but oh well...I have no regrets.

Hopefully this year I'll be able to get a couple more rifles...then I'll probably call it a day and just use what I have.

Hopefully that collection will have a .45 Bully.
