Description
When AirForce Airguns’ customers asked for a fully moderated, full-sized Texan big-bore air rifle, the Fort Worth, Texas-based manufacturer listened. What resulted is the quietest version of one of the most powerful PCP air rifles in production.
Introducing the AirForce Texan LSS. With its 34” barrel and *updated TX2 valve, which produces 100 more foot-pounds of muzzle energy than its predecessor, it can hurl .45-caliber ammo in excess of 1,100 FPS at muzzle energies of up to 700+ foot-pounds, AirForce reports. And, it can do it much quieter than its older, unmoderated sibling. Before this, AirForce Airguns shooters desiring the same big-bore bite as the Texan with significantly less bark often looked to the Texan SS and its Sound-Loc System® technology. But, that option comes with lower velocities and muzzle energies that go along with an almost 10-inch shorter barrel.
“With the sport of airgun hunting growing at an exponential rate, the amount of feedback Airforce Airguns has received from hunters in the field has been nothing short of astounding,” said AirForce Airguns Director of Marketing, Cameron Brinkerhoff, in a news release announcing the Texan LSS. “With that, we have been listening to our market and found that hunters loved the sound suppression benefits of our existing SS models but wanted to achieve the same power levels as our non-suppressed, long barrel models.”
Whether you’re new to airgun hunting or are looking to add another hunting tool to your quiver, look to the AirForce Airguns Texan LSS, available in .257, .308, .357, .457, and .50 calibers. Its combination of accuracy, power and reduced report make it an ideal, humane solution for bringing home a wide variety of game.
*TX2 valve currently available in .45-cal. and .50-cal. Texan models only

Shoots better than expecting
Things I Would Have ChangedSilencing should be better
What Others Should KnowLouder than expected,
Everything!
Things I Would Have ChangedLarger air tank.
What Others Should Know! 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!
Things I Would Have ChangedPressure gage is cheap and not accurate
What Others Should KnowVelocity is high! Penetration and pass thru! Over 700 lb of force with 500 gr hollow pt. !!!
Quite accurate powerful
Things I Would Have ChangedNone
What Others Should KnowDouble up on backstop! Will go thru 4x4 easy
Awesome gun !
Things I Would Have ChangedNo change! It is perfect!
What Others Should KnowBuy 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
Things I Would Have ChangedReally needs the bottle drop down adapter included from talon tunes to have a better sight picture for the scope!
What Others Should KnowUpgrade 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.
Things I Would Have ChangedThe scoperail could be about a 1/2inch higher
What Others Should KnowCould 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.
Things I Would Have ChangedLike 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.
What Others Should KnowThis 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
Things I Would Have ChangedInstructions 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

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.
Things I Would Have ChangedThe length an weight may be a put-off to some..but it is what it is..I really have no complaints.
What Others Should KnowI 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.
