Dang, where did you get that price from ?

...that would take me out of contention

Jim Chapman mentioned it on Facebook.

Yep I just checked he says he believes it's $1895. I guess they figured so many guys are paying that price for small bores they will pay that for big bores too.

Wow, Bummer.

It sure takes me out of the game

$1900? Well I guess the Texan is the better buy for some of us, including me! Although I like the BushBuck better!

1900? Why not just get a Quack for $800, or if your going big the XP at $1300? That price is more than a Texan and Quack together!!

If that BushBuck is going to be at a reasonable price I might get back in the Big Bore arena

I spoke with Kip from AoA this week, and yes that is the price. I will have to sell a truck to purchase one. Dont think I can afford it right now.
Just curious Manny, why did you go away from big bores? Challenge? More options in the smaller bores? Of course I am like you, my primary use is hunting pigs. (and deer for me)

I wish the price was lower because I'd really like see more of them going out into hunters hands, and this will shut a lot of people out.... Having said this, there are so many cool new mid and big bores hitting the market that every one will find one priced to suit. I like the styling of the Bushbuck, but from a performance standpoint the Texan is right there, then there's the Extreme Big Bores, Beemans got a lower priced prototype that may be out soon......and if you can get on the Quackenbush list... That's still the gun for me, at least from an emotional perspective.

The price shouldn't surprise anyone. I mean, it "IS" AOA After all!

Not surprised one bit. In fact, I'm really surprised it doesn't cost more!

I called A.O.A. this morning , their first shipment is due in 2 weeks THEY ARE ALL SOLD . The next shipment is due in about 6 weeks and its about HALF SOLD already . Guy on the phone said $1700 Said the one to talk to would be Kip and he's out till Tuesday.The gun IS .452 with two power settings similar to the XP rifles .

Saw a video on You tube with the gun last night "Kip" was showing the gun to an english man . Said they had the first shipment , but were not happy with the way the gun set so high on the stock (like extreme and XP) . So they sent them back to have the stocks redone so the gun sets lower like a powder burner . first ones due back in two weeks . then they will all have the new stock .

Well, I got to the point where I had several Big Bores, 200 FPE .452 and .495 DAQs,a few 200 FPE Careers .357s, a 300 FPE 909s and a 400 FPE Claw .50 but I found myself still taking the Brain shot, so I figured I really didn't need them since I can be just as effective with my Small Bores and my low powered .357

a 600 FPE .452 (with all the ammo avaiability ) the Dual power setting would be very enticing, it definitely would open up the Body shot possibility if I needed to take it ( I don't like it because recovery here can be very daunting with the incredible thick vegetation we have ) a 600 FPE should shorten the travel by a bit

Unfortunately that price is way off my realm of possibility, way off

For mass producing them , you'd think the price would be less than the guys making them by hand . Wonder if A.O.A bought the design or if they are licensed on a per unit deal . Maybe this will open up the list at XP , If AOA has already sold the first and half of the second shipment . Price will probably come down after the initial rush dies down .

So they are not done with Research and Development but want to be paid like it is a 1000 yard rifle. This rifle will not be an option for me. I'll wait for Tom to finish his design. If I decide I really want a .45 I will go with the Texan. To each their own. I am glad more options are reaching the market.

I think Tom's BullPup in .452 would be a winner

I'm not sure if this could be considered a "production" rifle but how about the .257 Haley Scandalous?

See the video of it shooting a cola can at 615 yards.:

12 oz cola can at 615 yards with Haley air rilfe
Post by roachcreek on Fri Aug 09, 2013 4:03 pm

Just got back from my old mountain property, I extended the "Pepsi Challenge from 552 yards to 615 yards on a 12 oz cola can.

I was shooting a 36 inch barreled Haley Scandalous tethered at 3550 PSI and shooting a bullet cast from a obsolete Ideal mold, a spitzer weighing in at 84 grains cast of 20-1.

After such a good start, I then went further back and I tried for two more days to extend the shot to 640-675 yards but found the bullet was loosing stability, so 615 may be the extreme range of this combination.

The YouTube videos here illustrate the power of this combination as it bursts the can with a retained energy of 120 FPE at 615 yards. I had a 242 inch mid range trajectory over the line of sight.

Link to the videos, the first outlines the equipment, the 2nd is the rangefinder view and the third video the hit which came on the third shot.

Regards,

Roachcreek
