I got the .30 cal HP SS Plus. Works great. Apart from Bison Workshop’s freshly printed option, their are no bipod rail mounts for the 52mm OD air tube.

Fits in a backpack. Only downside is the odd-sized air tube means very limited options for accessory rails.

It’s accurate out well past typical pistol range.
Quote from: Wayne52 on July 04, 2021, 11:22:12 PMI know that the older Xtreme Big bores have taken down Cape buffalo before, those were comparable to the Zeus and were a little more costly but not much.When you are getting into this all out big bore territory .40 and larger spending around 1500 bucks or more I am going XP air guns they are made much better than extreme or AEA for that matter , since I now have both AEA and XP I can really compare the 2 ,and it's not hard to see , and feel why XP is better after shooting the guns side by side ....

Quote from: bear air on July 03, 2021, 02:41:58 PMToo funny. They do seem to be doing a great job with their newer line up. I really liked the looks of that nomad too Manny. Sweet looking gun. They also had a pistol called the wasp that was supposed to produce 30fpe in 22 caliber. I haven't seen either one lately though.I'm kind of Looking at that .30 Semi-Auto pistol,.....that would be something I'm interested in.Does anybody know if this dealer is legit ? ...never heard of it.https://www.aresairgunstactical.com/AEA-HP-SS-30-Cal-_p_1502.html
