Fort Worth, TX — July 1, 2025— AirForce Airguns, the leader in high-performance air rifles, proudly announces the launch of its newest big-bore innovation: the AirForce Tex-Rex® .457. Designed to deliver uncompromising power, accuracy for serious hunters and shooters, the Tex-Rex .457 redefines what’s possible in a big-bore air platform, pushing out an unprecedented 1,000 foot-pounds of energy with the consistency and reliability AirForce is known for.
With its precision-engineered build, the Tex-Rex .457 offers hunters a formidable alternative to traditional firearms, providing ethical, powerful takedown capabilities for large game while maintaining the convenience and flexibility of an air-powered system. Featuring a robust .457 caliber barrel, adjustable bias port screws allowing various levels of power thanks to an all-new proprietary Titanium valve system, and the proven ergonomics of the Texan family, the Tex-Rex stands ready to dominate the field.
“Our team set out to build the most powerful and practical .457 big-bore hunting air rifle yet, and the Tex-Rex absolutely delivers,” said John McCaslin, President of AirForce Airguns. “It represents a new era of air-powered hunting and sets the standard for performance, accuracy, and reliability.”
AirForce takes pride in designing and making airguns right here in the USA, supporting domestic jobs and quality craftsmanship. Unlike other airgun companies, components are made and assembled here in Texas.
