The AirForce Airgun Lineup
AirForce builds every rifle in Fort Worth, Texas using Lothar Walther match-grade barrels, a modular Ring-Loc valve for adjustable power, and a Spin-Loc tank system for quick field swaps. The lineup Utah Airguns carries focuses entirely on the big bore platform: Texan and Tex-Rex variants designed for hunting everything from hogs and predators to deer and large game at distances out to 100 yards and beyond.
The Texan Series: Big Bore Hunting Power
The AirForce Texan is the foundation of the AirForce big bore lineup and one of the most powerful production air rifles available. Available in .257, .308, .357, .457, and .510 caliber with Lothar Walther match-grade barrels, the standard Texan produces over 600 foot-pounds of muzzle energy in .457 caliber and over 800 foot-pounds in .510. The Ring-Loc valve delivers adjustable power across the entire lineup, and the Spin-Loc tank allows for quick field swaps without tools. The standard Texan is available at Utah Airguns with either an aluminum or carbon fiber tank, with the carbon fiber option reducing overall rifle weight for field carries.
The TexanSS and Texan LSS: Suppressed Big Bore Performance
The TexanSS and Texan LSS bring sound reduction to the big bore platform. The TexanSS uses AirForce's Sound-Loc suppression system and is available in .257, .308, .357, and .457 caliber, delivering up to 400 foot-pounds in .457 while operating at a reduced report. The Texan LSS takes a similar approach with an integrated moderated shroud and covers .257, .308, .357, .457, and .510 caliber, making it the suppressed option for hunters who also want access to the full .510 power tier. Both models include the Ring-Loc valve and Spin-Loc tank system and are available at Utah Airguns with carbon fiber tank configurations.
The Texan Carbine: Compact Big Bore
The AirForce Texan Carbine delivers big bore performance in a shorter, more maneuverable package. With a reduced overall length compared to the standard Texan, the Carbine is built for hunters who work in dense brush, tree stands, or blinds where a full-length rifle creates handling problems. The Texan Carbine is available at Utah Airguns in both standard and carbon fiber bottle configurations.
The Tex-Rex Series: Maximum Big Bore Power
The Tex-Rex is the most powerful platform in the AirForce lineup and the most powerful production air rifle built in the USA. Available in .308, .457, and .510 caliber, the Tex-Rex in .510 delivers over 1,100 foot-pounds of energy with a 620-grain slug, powered by a titanium high-flow valve and a 34-inch Lothar Walther barrel. Utah Airguns carries the Tex-Rex in standard, Carbine, and Brush Gun configurations. The Tex-Rex Carbine brings the same power in a shorter profile, and the Tex-Rex Brush Gun pairs a 16-inch barrel with .457 or .510 caliber for hunters who need maximum stopping power in tight cover or enclosed blinds.
How to Choose the Right AirForce Airgun
The right AirForce model depends on your target game, preferred shooting distance, and whether noise reduction or compactness is a priority. Every AirForce platform Utah Airguns carries uses the same Spin-Loc tank system, so a single fill setup works across the entire lineup.
For Big Game and Hog Hunting
The Texan .457 and .510 are the primary platforms for hunters pursuing hogs, deer, and large game at distances out to 100 yards and beyond. The .457 generates over 600 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, while the .510 steps up to over 800 foot-pounds for hunters targeting larger or tougher game. Hunters who want the same caliber range with less report should consider the Texan LSS in .510, which adds an integrated moderated shroud while maintaining full power. The carbon fiber tank option is worth considering for any of these platforms, as it reduces overall rifle weight without affecting performance during long-distance field carries.
For Maximum Power
Hunters who need the most stopping power the AirForce lineup can offer should look at the Tex-Rex in .510. Delivering over 1,100 foot-pounds of energy with a 620-grain slug, the Tex-Rex is built for hunters targeting trophy-class hogs, large predators, or any situation where a standard big bore platform is not enough. The Tex-Rex Carbine offers the same core platform in a shorter profile, and the Tex-Rex Brush Gun brings that power into an ultra-compact 16-inch barrel configuration designed for thick brush and blind hunting where maneuverability matters more than extended range.
For Hunters Who Need a Compact Profile
The Texan Carbine and Tex-Rex Carbine are built for hunters who need serious big bore performance from a shorter, easier-handling receiver. Both platforms deliver hard-hitting energy from a profile that manages better in tree stands, ground blinds, and dense cover than a full-length rifle. The Tex-Rex Brush Gun takes compactness furthest with its 16-inch barrel, producing over 700 foot-pounds of energy in the most packable big bore configuration AirForce offers. Hunters comparing big bore platforms should also consider AEA Airguns for a side-by-side look at American versus import PCP options at similar price points.
Airforce Airguns FAQ
The AirForce Texan is an American-made platform built specifically for maximum hunting power, producing 600 or more foot-pounds in .457 caliber and 800 or more foot-pounds in .510. Compared to AEA big bores, the Texan is generally regarded as delivering superior accuracy and build quality at a higher price point. FX Airguns focus on regulated, precision-tuned platforms that excel at target shooting and small-to-medium game work, so the comparison depends heavily on your use case. For raw big bore hunting power from an American manufacturer, the Texan stands apart from both alternatives.
Yes. AirForce built their lineup around hunting as a primary use case. The Texan series produces enough energy for hogs, deer, and large game at distances out to 100 or more yards. The Tex-Rex in .510 delivers over 1,100 foot-pounds for hunters who need maximum stopping power. Every AirForce model features the Ring-Loc valve system for adjustable power, letting hunters match energy output to their specific quarry and shooting distance rather than being locked into a single power level.
In .457 and .510 caliber at full power, the AirForce Texan is capable of accurate shots out to 100 or more yards in experienced hands. For hunting large game, most hunters work the Texan at 50 to 100 yards where energy levels are sufficient for clean, ethical kills. The 34-inch Lothar Walther barrel on the standard Texan produces consistent velocities that support reliable accuracy at extended range, and the adjustable power system allows hunters to fine-tune energy output and shot count per fill for their specific application.
The Texan is AirForce's core big bore platform, available in .257 through .510 caliber and producing 600 or more foot-pounds in .457 and 800 or more foot-pounds in .510. The Tex-Rex is the next evolution of that platform, featuring a titanium high-flow valve and delivering over 1,100 foot-pounds of energy in .510 caliber with a 620-grain slug. The Tex-Rex also comes in .308 and .457 caliber and is available in Carbine and Brush Gun configurations, making it the right choice for hunters who need either maximum power or a more compact profile beyond what the standard Texan delivers.
