they well said.

It's not one of my best jobs but, its does what it should and that's to break up its outline.

Thats the path I have taken with a modified .308 Texan and 357 challenger both non regulated pcps. Tethered not only gives a big number of shots you aren't going to be limited on power like pcps with built in regulated pcps . I target shoot and hunt, just can't stalk hunt.

Can Pretty and Functional Coexist? Yes, but compromises sneak in: Sleek, compact rifles (like the Wildcat or Edgun Leshiy) look amazing and feel great—but you trade off power, shot count, or tuning access. Some designer PCPs go for carbon fiber, intricate machining, exotic stocks… but they’re...

My modified Texan .308 would do very well; here are some numbers. . With a slug length of 0.801 inches, a weight of 150 grains, and a velocity of 990 fps, Texan .308 paired with a 1:10 twist barrel is sitting in a very stable zone. likely in the SG 1.6–1.8 range—right in the sweet spot for...

You won't find a Uragan or Wildcat that can even come close to being the hunter as the .308 Texan is. I will always pick function over looks. Do you want a show car that you push on and off a trailer or do you want one you can drive?

Welcome;)

I think it comes down to how much do you want to spend? here is a dollar value for each. For myself on a pcp, I refuse to spend any more than $700.00 so that would be ATHLON...

I own a Zulus HD 5-20 with a range finder mounted on a 308 Texan. The Zulus serves as an excellent day and night scope. Previously, I used an Athlon Optics Argos BTR GEN8-34x56 Riflescope - APM F IR MIL, which now remains stored in its case. The video was from 2024 early spring from 100 yards.

Most high-power PCPs are optimized for hunting, where terminal performance is key. The extra energy delivers deeper penetration and expansion, making them ideal for larger game when shot placement is spot-on. But with great power comes the need for great discipline — and that’s where skill...

The .308 Texan is still the most powerful production air rifle in .30 cal, hands down. With the right slug and tune, it’s capable of over 400 FPE and confidently reaches past 300 yards. It’s a single-shot powerhouse—not built for speed, but for serious long-range precision and ethical hunting...

Between an AR-15 in .223/5.56 and the Texan .308 launching a 150gr boat tail flat nose at 990 fps, the Texan has the better anchoring potential—especially inside 150–170 yards. Here’s why: AR-15 (.223/5.56): It’s fast and flat-shooting, but the lighter bullets (55–77gr) rely on fragmentation...

Yes, it should. before I would have to bring a tote to rest the air tank and regulator on. I Drive a Kawaski mule to the site to drop off my gear then hide the mule. I should have it painted on 6/24 or the 25th.

AEA 357 challenger side lever (big bore) 150gr

Try a Condor in .25, What do you mean by set up? please tell, just interested. Very high end in $$$
