Really want to root for this US company unfortunately i could not ever in good faith put other people through what I have went through with them so many times on warranty stuff. In the end worth it if your very patient and enduring but....

Numbers at bottom if you want to skip the commentary.....
Okay so after the tex rex carbine .510 dropped I had to get one to play with and in spite of not being an airforce fan boy the numbers caught my attention as a versatile hunter for deer, pigs, rams or even yotes based on the numbers claimed in a short, light platform.
In the past i owned a .510 tx2 carbon full length and it was to long and i found it hit about 800fpe with 800g slugs but they were to loopy for ethical distance ......continued after pics....
hunting for me and with light slugs I couldnt get it to pick up efficiency on speed for a flatter shot either.
The tex rex carbine promised plenty of power for whitetail on low with 4-5 shots and I was not perticularly interested in 2 high power shots anyway with excess power. At 7.25lbs and 39" I can pack that all day on a sling in the woods so I ordered up rings and a leupold vx freedom 1.5-4 lightweight lpvo.
Finally got time to test it today and threw a 3 moa hawk red dot on it to get some chrony numbers. I am impressed right off, I can tell Airforce knocked this out of the park it looks like. Bottle feels tough! More testing later but this was to get a feel for the low power settings. The 2 groups were all together at 22yds but this was every different slug no real group testing as I will do that later. The hole I pointed to was my aim point first group of all different slugs. The pic at bottom is a chrony read for a 4500psi fill 7 shot string on the one fill with a 470g. Still north of 500fpe last shot.
No bias port (low power) first test no cleaning
305g flatheads and aea 304g shot 995fps at 4k psi
390g flatheads shot 901fps on 4k psi
350 wrath shot 943fps on 4k psi
470g bthp shot 837fps on 4k psi
595g fh shot 757 on 4k psi
