Hmm think ill snatch up a yang when they become availble then. From videos sounds a little louder but honsetly i like the looks better. The texan does like like they kind slapped a paintball tank to a barrel and tossed on a grip but maybe thats just me. On pyramyd air says outof stock /pre order they going to get more soon?

It would have been nice if AF had bothered to talk, and get ideas from some of the folks actually using the AF platform for Cast Bullet shooting rather than listening to Celebs!

There are fitting calibers for bringing the gun out than in a .458. But AF has proven again and again that they have the Gamo Boy racer attitude. They just simply don't seem to get it that there are serious shooters out there.

I have talked to them often over the years, and they seem to have no understanding at all of what is going on in the Adult Big Bore World. Or any Adult Air Gunning for that matter. Any time someone such as Dyotat comes up with something innovative, they not only seemingly ignore it. They scoff, and put the innovator down. and later, copying the innovators poorly. (After years of putting the innovators down!

I sent some photos of groups shot at 100 yards a couple of years ago, and they simply couldn't believe it could be done. They are still in the 10 yard mentality. LOL!!!

and they have a Duck fit if any modification is done to the Guns to improve them. O'l BB Pelliter, (Gaylord) really lambasted any one who wanted to make a Big Bore out of the guns. Now he is telling the world of "THEIR" innovations. He somehow seems to forget that all this has been brought to his attention over and over again. And he never had any problem blasting anyone who show him a better gun, or even Thought of making a Big Bore out of their perfect gun. (That the end users had to trouble shoot for them.)

Is AF finally waking up? Lets hope so. But I'm not holding my breath!
A simple talk to any of the Big Bore casters would have at least guided them in the direction of a pistol bullet as the dies are much more easily available in a much larger selection of shapes and weights. but once again, a Rifle Bullet Sounds cooler to the unknowing. But, again, it sounds cooler. For get the fact that it is shooting at pistol velocities, and would more benefit from projectiles designed to work at the velocities attainable with their new offering.

Once again, they are proving that they simply "Don't" get it!

I will bet that if Doug gets his hands on one, the first thing he will do is put a proper barrel in it! And that should not have had to be done!

It is done the same way a .25 LW barrel is exchanged for a .257 boolit shooting barrel. There are many sources of suitable barrels, it is just a matter of choosing the one that suits the end goal properly...

Im curious to know the effective range for medium game since 170-200fbe is good for 30-50 yards for deer would the 400-500fbe of the texan be more like 60-80 yards?

Cast bullets carry much further than pellets, so maintain their energy over a longer distance.... Having said that, the bullet which developed 500 FPE (400 gr.) was only travelling at 750 fps, so the trajectory will be significant.... With the lighter bullets, to get the velocity up into the high 800s, it looks more like a 350 FPE rifle.... Still, that is a big step up from half that, so it will have more energy at 100 yards than a 200 FPE big bore will at the muzzle.... Accuracy and shot placement will end up being the limiting factors, IMO....

Yea accuracy is what im wondering about on the texan saying 3 inchs at 100 yards? Was going to get a sam yang but think now i will just save up a little more money and wait for the texan to come out in april and see what everyone has to say about it.

Well, that Claim of "World's most...." has already been squashed

AOA introduced a 600 FPE .457 with 2 power setting too,...that rifle looks really good.

Since they named it the Bushbuck then it is probably based on this custom gun they used in Africa?

just read on airforce web page that they are coming out with a airforce Texan .45 cal PCP airgun. i read it shoots 1000 fps with 500 ftps. it uses the same style PCP airgun as the condor . i wonder how many shots you will get with this caliber ? anybody see this PCP airgun yet ? if it is anything like i read i will be buying one asap !

agnoob13 · « **Reply #113 on:** January 25, 2015, 12:45:19 AM »

Hmm only found on pic of the AoA Bushbuck .457 buts looks pretty nice like the looks a little better than the texan. Depending on the price and specs might have to get it instead

we shall wait and see. When it does come out any idea if it will only be avaible through airguns of arizona or will other sites have it?

TheBullsEye · « **Reply #114 on:** January 25, 2015, 01:04:29 AM »

Its most powerful "production" air rifle i believe aoa will probably build on a order bases so there fore a custom built gun not mass produced like the air force.

Nomadic Pirate · « **Reply #115 on:** January 25, 2015, 03:21:39 PM »

actually, I hear they will be on the shelves and in stock, which makes them the most powerful production rifle

This may be a little off topic but has anyone ordered from the AOA website? to me it looks kinda funny.

YEMX · « **Reply #118 on:** January 25, 2015, 03:54:53 PM »

I have. It is a little weird. But I've never failed to receive anything I order, either.
