Description

We asked airgun writer Tom Gaylord for his top-5 reasons to own an AirForce Escape:

  1. Most powerful smallbore air rifle
  2. Accurate
  3. Quickly fills with a hand pump
  4. Variable power
  5. Compact/lightweight

Are you a survivalist or prepper? The Escape air rifle was made for you! It's compact, light, accurate, very powerful and has adjustable power.

Conceptualized by TV's Ton Jones of Auction Hunters fame, the Escape air rifle makes it easy to grab & go when you need to get out of Dodge immediately! Keep your gun ready to move out by making sure you have the hand pump, pellets and gun in one place (preferably in a lightweight case or backpack made to carry rifles). Because the Escape air reservoir is small, most people can fill it quickly and easily with a hand pump.

Does not come with sights, refill clamp or device to fill the tank. If you plan to put a scope on your gun, you won't need to buy open sights. The AirForce hand pump comes with the correct fitting to fill your Escape air rifle.

Ton Jones didn't just conceive the Escape series of air rifles, he also did a good bit of the testing. Besides the velocity/energy figures shown above, here are some more figures supplied by Ton and AirForce Airguns:

.22-caliber Beeman Kodiak pellets
21.14 grains
1,165 fps max
63.73 ft-lbs.

.22-caliber Eun Jin pellets
28.50 grains
1,080 fps max
73.83 ft-lbs.

.25-caliber Eun Jin pellets
43.20 grains
1,010 fps max
97.88 ft-lbs.

Accurate, long range, easily maneuverable, and power adjustment.

Nothing

This air gun is arguably the most powerful .25 caliber air rifle on the market. I pushed it out to 100 yards and could still hit a 2x4 board with no issue. Many options with this gun on scopes, and other accessories. Definitely recommend.

Definitely has a lot of power. That's about it. I must've gotten a dud because I've tried just about every pellet out of this thing with the same inaccuracy from each.

Ok first of all there are no swivels for shoulder strap you have to purchase separately. Secondly there are no manual sights which is kinda lame considering no scope comes with this gun, which again is kinda lame considering the price tag of this thing. Very uncomfortable to shoot considering there is no riser for the cheek. You have to really get awkward to see through the scope since the air tank is all you have to rest on. The automatic safety jams on me, I have to cock it a few times in order for it to disengage. And the worst part of it all I cannot get a straight/consistent shot out of the thing to save my life. I'm averaging a 2.5 inch shot group at 35 yards with JSB's and that is awful you guys. I really hate being the guy to leave such a poor review, but after owning the gun for 2 years and trying every ammo out there I've given up on it. It sits in the closet collecting cobwebs. I had a 40 multi pump Daisy outshoot this thing. Maybe a got a bad barrel. Idk. Paid too much IMO

All your getting is a lot of power. Zero options. Sites, swivels, cheek adjustment, etc. Bare basics with this thing. Definitely will be paying more than it is worth in my opinion.

It is well built, high quality and light weight

A little bigger tank and a better butt stock, a little more robust

Not back yard friendly, a little thunder stick

As a prepper, I wanted as much flexibility as I could get in 1 gun, so I bought a TalonP and the 24" barrel so I could use it as a small, very light carbine with over 50 fpe, or as a proper Escape with over 98 fpe. Both configurations are mind numbingly accurate, and more than powerful enough to perform any task that might arise if I find myself disastered outa shelter and food. I hasten to mention, that with luck, this fantastic air rifle will never be used off the range or out kicking around in the woods. Having survival equipment is a lot like owning a parachute- if you HAVE one and don't need it, no big deal- but if you NEED one and don't have one, chances are you will have a bad day.

I have seen this mentioned in another post but I'll second it- It's a survival rifle, it should come with sights and sling swivels; of course I solved that with a pistol laser on the bottom rail, and a Gamo gun buddy, which actually works pretty well to carry it at high port, in carbine mode and it doesn't detract from the " black rifle " looks.

I'm disabled, and I can pump it to 3k psi. I use ( and recommend ) a Hill pump, I go slow and it's challenging but it's very doable. I don't move too well, too far or too fast but I CAN be very still for long periods, which suits the long range blind hunting that this rifle with it's ample power and mind bending accuracy is so well suited to. Of course, so is the Texan which every prepper should have on accounta what kinda air gunner wouldn't want a beast like that? It should be required at birth ... You, newborn, you like air gunning? "Goo" -- See! That's a yes! order him a Texan immediately! Don't worry, I'll test it extensively so it'll be dialed in by the time she/he is 18.
