    I’d never tried to drive a nail or split a card, I have to say it was pretty fun for a change.

    Very nice but isn't an Air Force rifle in .22 somewhat unusual? Most of the time I meet people with those they have .30 on up. :lol:

    If they ever make a repeater, I'll be a customer.

    A .30 TJ barrel would be great.

    They don’t make a .30. I run it in .257
    But more models come in .177 .20 .22 and .25
    Then the Texan which is .257 .308 .357 .457 .50

    The design really allows most power, least parts, made in America, lifetime warranty, but yes it’s single shot.

    The repeater they make is the RAW HM 1000. I’ve known only two owners but all I’ve heard was good if not great.

    I have a 24” .25 barrel on the way and was thinking all I need is a .177 and it’s completed. I’m passing on the .20 and going right to .177 slugs with it. You can get 35-40 FPE or close out of the 13 grain slugs and shoot 100-200 yards with less drop then a .257

    The Texan was the .30 I was talking about.

    How fast are you shooting those 13gn slugs? The only .177's I ever had were Beeman break barrel and Benjamin Multi Pump. When .22 came out, I switched and never looked back. Now the Avenger .25 has me amazed at the accuracy from a $300 PCP. While I may get other .25's (I really want a Crickett II), I will never give up my .22's as ammo is pretty much universally available.

    For 35fpe it would have to be 1100fps. Might be a bit fast for accuracy.

    I do have a $200 Beeman Chief II Plus (The one that fills to 3000psi) that I'm pushing the 12.5g Nielsen slugs to 980fps for 18-20 shots. It's a single hole off the bench at 25yds (my farthest distance in yard). It did take a little bit of modding, but just labor, no parts cost involved.

    Cedric toofast4u posted on it but your right I may have misremembered a bit. But also Steve AEAC shot a red wolf at 100 yards.

    They’re doing .177 up to 20 grains at NSA. I haven’t ventured yet I’m just excited. I’m sure my Airforce can push that hard I’ve do 1050 with 14 grain .22

    Bob and miles are still working drag model there’s an update in bob loyd workshop on GTA

    That’s pretty impressive. I thought you we’re getting out? :-)

    I saw that mentioned on agn, how do you like it so far? Is really for friend?

    I could be that friend if not :-)

    The coolest thing I saw with those rifles is a guy running a remote setup. I’m pretty sure his remote line wasn’t HPA rated but I suppose it could be done.

    If you ever part with that prod I may be interested.
