Air Force Texan 457 Air Rifle

This is my first introduction to the new Texan Air Rifle, its about a half hour run through, I hope its not to boring

[@zefdin101]

Love the look of the Texan. The one thing that seems off is the height of scope off the center of barrel. I always like to have my scope as close as possible to stock..but that is just me. Mr HP is the best BTW,,,he is a very nice guy. His slugs kick ass as well.

[@rroberts8501]

AirForce Airguns..... ! Pay this guy. This guy is the reason I purchased a Texan 45. Lots of good information.

[@theorthodoxredneck1887]

Thanks ! Im looking at the Texan for my first pcp and for a big bore its looking pert near good !

[@MsCrassus]

Superbe , merci de vos vidéo , j'adore

[@tonyorabona594]

Great video ,Great review

[@Ejwp85]

thanks for the video , really helpful

[@restraintnurse]

thanks for the review. I have a texan and I have shrouded it. I will be using it for whitetail in missouri this season. I have been looking for bullets that will do the job. I looks like you have done my work for me. I'll be talking to you.

[@foldby37]

Great, good info Thanks a lot, from Denmark

[@sebabalo]

nice review. thanks

[@solo-nx5ml]

nice presentation mr. hollow-point

[@albertqss]

Mr. Hollowpoint. Thank your for your videos. Interesting and educational. A question. Who makes the air stripper for this rifle? Thank you!

[@AnobisBloodwing]

A question at 11:22 that dovetail to weaver adapter on the underside. Who makes them? I am looking for a low profile one like that but never found one.

[@user-qp1wb7vh5g]

Mr.HollowPoint... Have you seen the new G2 bullets they have out now? I would be interested to know if they would work in the Texan...tho they are copper..like you videos love ur cat!!!!

[@FinnsKdld]

Heck ya man your awsome!

[@AirMarksman]

I am loving my Texan. I am using slugs that I cast for my 1858 Remington .44. When I cast them they cast out at .457 and weigh 240gr. So far it is holding very good groups at 50 yards. What was the price on that muffler?

[@MrCountrycuz]

Howdy Partner got in your bullets today in SC. Your bullets look so beautiful that I hate to even shoot em!!

[@claudeinatl]

I like these airforce guns..part two maybe you can try the heavy stuff like the 400 grain 425 grain..anyway good show bob...

[@darrenbrown9096]

thanks Bob

[@pyrosus]

Mrhollowpoint1 is it practical for long range shooting (texan .30)

[@blessedman8422]

Mrhollowpoint1 I'm having a tough decision maybe you can help. I'm looking at buying the big Texan ss 45cal because its quiet but what ive seen on youtube is to me it looks like I should buy a normal Texan and shroud or muffler it and it would be quieter? is this true

[@larryvpinstriping]

hey brotha do you know the bore size on a stock condor .25

[@FinnsKdld]

U crack me up!

[@claudeinatl]

can you try a plastic sabot 45 cal with a 38 cal bullet..what kind of velocity..

[@MrCountrycuz]

Is that a bengal? I used to have a bengal cattery in the 90s

[@drake1011]

How can I get one of those tubes?

[@user-sm8bc9xb2s]

nice gun

[@mauricejohns3635]

I am thinking of getting a Big Bore Air Rifle. It was either going to be the Crosman 357, or the Samyang 50, because thats the only ones Ive seen talked about on KZbin alot. But, now I'm liking this Texan more and more. So or were can I find this shroud, or suppressor like the one in this vid?

[@MrCountrycuz]

+MAURICE JOHNS Love my Texan!!

[@airgunsyaventuras8058]

I own the 357 and 50 sam yang too and I mus say the 45 texan is way better.

[@MrCountrycuz]

Lately I noticed that when I air my texan up to 3000 and let it sit a few days, my air pressure drops about 400 lbs. I guess it must have a slow leak and I have not contacted air power yet on how to deal with this.

[@airgunsyaventuras8058]

+Josef Venport it must have a leak, if it still under warranty call them cause the air pressure should stay the same as you left it.

[@HarbardWild]

Lol them slugs! sexy gun i have to admit!

[@FlyingMeowChicken]

Is it necessary to purchase the Airforce Picatinny Rail Adapter? Thank you

[@electronicdawg]

Yes get the most expensive rail adapter money can buy. Won't improve anything, but it will look cool.

[@808Cummins]

i have high mounts on the stock dovetail. It is still too low. Mounted on an adapter it'll bring it up ridiculously high but your head angle won't be overcocked to the right or left at extreme angles. So in other words... get it.... or something similar.

[@nervoustwitch77]

way way too long for me but ... nice video and review man!

[@jonesfamily8378]

you have the air force texan and the Benjamin bulldog .357 im trying to pick one i want the bulldog more but some people are saying it leeks for the price i want something thats going to last please help me with the right rifle to pick you know that will also make a good vid texan vs bulldog

[@drake1011]

Agree! Im in the same boat. Torn between the two

[@jonesfamily8378]

hey i got the bulldog 357 not the air force texan it will be here monday hey thanks for your videos i wish i had the air stripper u got for the bulldog

[@evanmeece]

I think they fixed the leak issue. My bulldog should be here tomorrow. I got the real tree package. Looking forward to it.

[@zacharyrichards1679]

I just bought both I couldn’t decide!

[@bernardbaudinot6453]

nice video :D where do you find your sound moderator ?

[@renault21]

+Bernard Baudinot I ask the same question

[@coolnikish]

awesome, could have given one likes per minute if possible.

[@MrCountrycuz]

My buddy seems to think that the 308 texan is a better rifle than the 457. He tried to tell me that the 308 had better features than the 457. But I know that they are the same rifles only with different caliber barrels so can you tell me which one would have more foot lbs of energy if the bullets had the same grain weight?

[@808Cummins]

Josef your buddy is partial to the caliber. The twist is too high for slugs making it an inaccurate gun at the moment until someone finds a perfect ammo. As for energy..... the 45 pushing a 255 slug at 850 plus is doing 400ft/lbs. A 308 at 255grain... if it's available... has to be flying close to that speed to get the same fpe. That is a super long and heavy bullet for a 308. Physics included.... you need a longer barrel on the 308 to reach the fpe of a 45. Basically the 308 would be a great light grain target gun or small game killer. A 45 would be a medium to heavy game killer but less the accuracy. I destroyed a goat's brain and blew a bird apart with 143 round balls on a 45.

[@Tellin08]

@@808Cummins Sorry I know this comment is 5 years old but in general, does a lower caliber on the same Air Rifle using the same inner mechanics means its going to be more accurate at longer ranges?

[@808Cummins]

@@Tellin08 with the previous gen guns...yes. they share similar tank capacity, springs and valve. The availability of slugs at the time I wrote this was very limited. Now they have perfected it. Those smaller calibers with the carb tank and tx2 valves are vicious. With the older 3000psi aluminum tanks and the notorious "lock up" valves of the old you'll be frustrated like me 😂. The newer guns are designed better than the gun I have. With that being said.... I'd go with a 357 for long range and a 50 for point blank pig harvesting.

[@Tellin08]

@@808Cummins Thanks for your reply. It's interesting. So many great choices for air rilfes nowadays especially with AEA coming out with these cheaper Big Bore guns.

[@stibbs11]

Question: Is the barrel rifled or smooth?

[@albertqss]

These are rifles. so rifled.

[@stibbs11]

not necessarily.

[@albertqss]

+stibbs11 Yes necessarily. The manufacturer calls the gun "The most powerful air rifle". Look up the definition of the world rifle.

[@thomaspaysinger1047]

i didnt see no targets you shooting you must not been impressed with how good it shoots

[@alfakilla1]

.nice review vid...I didn't get the Obama thing though

[@rdkater]

nice cat you have, a Bengali ?

[@franciscoevangelista3461]

Meu sonho e possuir uma dessa aí ,mas um dia e compro tenho fé

[@darringoodbrand6603]

some one must of payed you to wear that shirt lol

[@thomaspaysinger1047]

when you going to test the new .357 it seems like that one would be a good all around gun kill squirrels rabbit deer hogs

[@MrCountrycuz]

I always killed squirrels and rabbits with a 177 benjamin or a cheap crosman pump from kmart back in the day. I never ever thought that i needed anything bigger.

[@antonbravo7133]

okay

[@zootallures7003]

Love your videos, but I think you kinda' dropped the ball on one minor point in this one. Try pumping your texan up with a hand pump sometime. It's not much fun.*chuckles*

Sooo am I to understand that you like mushrooms with dear meat?

Too long too boring! Get to the point and just cover the relevant data! You could have done this in 10 minutes!
