Big Bore
The World’s Largest Floating Airgun
Maybe, like me, you’re impressed with the incredible industry innovations we’ve seen in the big-bore market. PCP rifles (remember, that last “P” stands for “pneumatic,” a fact that’ll become interesting in just a moment) are now becoming common chambered in caliber numbers starting with fours and fives. While a multi-shot, large-caliber airgun was an expensive […]
Hatsan’s Full-Auto Blitz .30 Cal
The Blitz is a select-fire semi-/full-auto, Pre-Charged Pneumatic, .30 caliber air rifle that produces upwards of 50 ft-lbs of energy. Users can easily switch between either firing mode with just the flick of a switch. The gas-operated cycling mechanism does not rely on battery power and is capable of firing at a high rate of […]
It’s Big Bore Season Again…
It’s big-bore air rifle season. You know how I can tell? I woke up this morning and the sun hadn’t (yet) plummetted into Toad Suck, Arkansas. Or anywhere else for that matter, at least as far as I could tell. So in my world, every day is big-bore season. Sure, big-bore airguns are great for […]
Big Air with Gamo’s TC-45 Rifle
Thud. That’s not a sound generally associated with airguns, now is it? However, it was precisely that noise that had the whole rifle line laughing hysterically at my local range recently. I was there lobbing large lead slugs with the Gamo TC-45 big bore air rifle. Initially, the space-age looks and shockingly quiet operation (compared […]
Product Look: Gamo TC-45 Big Bore PCP Rifle
Stepping up things significantly, the Gamo TC-45 delivers massive power in a lightweight and quiet platform. The integrated moderator dampens the sound of the report, and the carbon-fiber tank removes unwanted weight. Producing more than 400 foot pounds of energy when shooting 350 grain cast slugs, there’s very little that the Gamo TC-45 can’t put […]
Big Bore Airgun Hunting is Underway in Texas
Big bore airguns and arrow guns are now legal in Texas for big game animals. This past week, I used my 45 caliber ‘Texan’ with a big 350 grain lead bullet to harvest my first whitetail deer with the power of air. I was hunting up at Ranger Creek Ranch which has been one of […]
FX Airguns Introduces FX Wildcat .30 Cal
FX Airguns adds a .30 caliber option for the FX Wildcat MKII line of bullpups. The Wildcat is considered one of the finest bullpups ever made. It’s beautifully balanced, light weight, powerful and has a smooth cocking side lever positioned perfectly over one of the most amazing bullpup triggers you will ever have the pleasure […]
Big Bore Airgun Pellets from Hunters Supply
We’ve been testing a few different big (huge? gigantic? epic?) bore airguns over the past few months. Models like the Gamo TC-45 and AirForce Texan SS require serious big bore airgun pellets. As a result, we’ve developed a deep and meaningful logistical relationship with the kind folks over at Hunters Supply. The company makes gajillions […]
Heavy Metal: The AirForce Texan SS Airgun
Sound suppressors are often referred to as “cans.” In the case of the AirForce Texan SS Airgun, that seems to be a literal engineering goal, but I mean that in a loving and complimentary way. You see, the raison d’être of the Texan SS is big bore performance without the noise. The standard AirForce Texan features […]
