AirForce Texan LSS Reviews

What I like: 1. It's accuracy..it's a very accurate airgun. 2. It's simplicity. 3. It's rugged heft and overall construction. 4. It's very nice trigger..very crisp.. 5. It's ability to shoot a variety of ammunition very well..I've shot home cast round balls and cast bullets. If properly sorted and sized, my home cast shoot very well in my airgun. 6. The wow factor..most folks at the range have never seen a bigbore airgun and are amazed at what it is and what it's capable of doing. They are often confused by the report when I send rounds downrange. Their typical reaction is often awe...and I find it amusing.

The length an weight may be a put-off to some..but it is what it is..I really have no complaints.

I bought the. 457 a few years ago when regular cartridge ammo was near impossible to find..figured I'd be able to cast and recycle my own ammo..which I have done..I bought the second in .308, because not every job requires a sledgehammer..the smaller caliber is still very fun to shoot..with the advantages of more shots per fill and greater ammo economy. All said, I am very pleased with both Texans.

Shoots better than expecting

Silencing should be better

Louder than expected,

Everything!

Larger air tank.

! Bought this while my .50 cal Umerex Hammer was down and sent off for warranty during deer season. Needless to say i will be selling the hammer because there is no competition between the two . The air force Handles like a sniper rifle and just all around feels more like a rifle and not a jacked up toy.

Very accurate hard hitting!

Pressure gage is cheap and not accurate

Velocity is high! Penetration and pass thru! Over 700 lb of force with 500 gr hollow pt. !!!

Quite accurate powerful

None

Double up on backstop! Will go thru 4x4 easy

Awesome gun !

No change! It is perfect!

Buy two of them one can be filling and one can be shooting!
This gun will break bricks , cinder blocks , holes on propane tanks even!!! This gun will knock spinners out of the ground at 700+fpe and over 1000 fps!
Power house!!!!!

Accurate, I have owned my 457 and 25 for more than a year . I make my own ammo. 457 lss , condor,24 inch version with aftermarket choke. Both accurate to 200 yards +, 6 inch target with ease. Golf balls at 100! Wild pig with 25 no issues! 75 yards

Really needs the bottle drop down adapter included from talon tunes to have a better sight picture for the scope!

Upgrade to a 1.1liter bottle on the 457 gets you 15 shots at3600 @ 200 yards for me .

Have been wanting one for years could not decide what one I wanted ta buy decided on the 357.

The scoperail could be about a 1/2inch higher

Could come with a bipod mounted on it. Been trying to find one that will fit on it. Havent been able ta find one that will work on it.

This is a beast and shoots well. I'm still experimenting with ammo but I have shot it enough to know this is a powerful rifle that will group well. I previously purchased a Texan LSS CF in .50 caliber and this rifle seems to be another great one.

Like a lot of previous comments, a picatiny rail would be nice. An adapter is available. The stock adjustment could be longer. I had to add a pad.

This is a .308, not a .30. This rifle seems it may be a little finicky about what ammo it likes but that is part of the fun. Like all large calibers, this is an air hog so get set up for that. Also, expect great service from Airforce. I had a problem with the air guage and they resolved the issue beyond my expectations.

What Can I say this rifle is a beast! the quality and craftmanship is top notch and the service from Pyramid Air is A1 best place to buy all your PCP gear

Instructions on how to care for rifle should be in manual and more info on the power wheel adjustments but in my opinion I am very happy with this rifle and service all the way around

Well build from high quality materials. Great style and craftsmanship.

Having trouble with air tank. It leaks despite following the troubleshooting procedures.

I can't tell you what I like because I haven't been able to shoot the airgun yet. The tank would not take air and or hold it. The air tank was sent back to be checked. I haven'r received it back.

Check air cylinders before shipping.

Looks , easy to load, good balance, made in U S A

Bigger Tank

Powerful . Sighted in with the two shot method and shoot Two 3 shot groups with 90 grain hollow point both one inch group.

The overall gun is a beast, the breach load and action is better than expected. Nice trigger pull. Definitely wasn't as heavy as I first expected. Hits hard and is pretty accurate when you learn how air pressure affects follow up shots.

The 11mm dovetails just suck, and adding an adapter to weaver or picatinny is just extra weight. The plastic furniture leaves more to be desired.

Its worth the price, the small things I can live with.
Make sure to get .510 slugs not .50 slugs.
Invest in a scba tank, or even a compressor.

Did not give an "accuracy" report as I haven't shot the rifle yet. It's WINTER here, cold and lots of snow. Looking forward to shooting it when spring finally arrives. It is well made and looks really cool. Like I said, I'm SO looking forward to shooting it.

Maybe the weight. Definitely a hefty rifle.

Lots of power. Huge wow factor when you bring it out on the range. Definitely as loud as a .22lr pistol. The long barrel and even longer suppressor makes this an intimidating weapon that no one assumes to be an air rifle.

Nothing about the gun itself, however see below for what to consider when buying this gun.

This gun requires 129 strokes on the average bicycle style air compressor for every two shots. Meaning 26 shots will require approximately 1,677 strokes. If you need a workout, be my guest, otherwise get a tank! Also, this will not fit in any of your current gun cases. The awesomeness is just too long. You will have to remove the tank and the last three inches of the suppressor, which is easy yet after so much work into getting it sighted in, I really did not want to take it apart. One more thing, the slugs need to be .510. Do not buy slugs for Seneca rifles. They are smaller than what this beast requires.

Extremely accurate and powerful. This is by far my favorite high performance air rifle. There is nothing it can't do, from the high accuracy demands of long distance target shooting, to being able to knock down pretty much any size game in North America. The variety of ammo it can shoot is extremely convenient. Being able to tune this rifle in the way this design allows makes the "if I could only have one rifle" choice easy - THIS would be that one.

A magazine option would be great, but that would also likely limit the range of ammo it could shoot

It is long, so finding a case to fit is a little challenging. However, I found a very nice tactical case that fits it perfectly even with the suppressor on. I wouldn't want it any other way though, as the vary length of this rifle is what makes it so deadly accurate, more powerful and more than acceptably quiet for my back yard shooting as long as I stay with grain weights that shoot at subsonic FPS.

Easy to set up, good quality material

Better quality air tank because i used mine once and then the valve broke

Great gun. 1050 fps with Hornady 143 gr. .457 round balls at about 3/4 power/spring setting. Very accurate out of the box. I have several brands and grains of ammo, but love the perfect Hornady .457's it's just really fun to shoot and obviously will do the job on white tail deer. I am an accuracy freak and I'm pleased!

My only complaint is the small hand grip with no factory option to go larger. Without modification my trigger finger is completely through the trigger guard rather than the tip of my finger on the trigger. In the process of modifying the grip now. Totally unacceptable for anyone with a large hand. Went to 2 gun stores and found a slip over rubber grip, but will still have to add filler and tape under the grip to have the right fit. By the way I'm 5'9" and don't have giant hands, I just wear large gloves (the grip is really small).

Awesome 100 yds and longer 3/4 " groups all day mine like 78 -130 Brian so far good group I'm buying another texan soon as I can

Price that's all

Amazing groups at 100yds and longer very very Quit to shoot
