Pure awesome! Love your vids. Aloha!
It was man... it really was. Steve
Ed Hunter Aloha!
Howzit Ed Hunter! Both of those are heavy hitting hammers for sure. Aloha from Big Island.
Larry_Aloha808 Aloooo-ha! ..as they taught us 😁
0311 grunt usmc. This gun is worthy of the respect its due as weaponry, i must say airguns are the fun Guns. I have no desire to shoot a m16 but yet i shoot the maurauder daily. im looking at big bore for next year as its legal for deer (big game) season here. When useing other weaponry i have a much different attitude and higher degree of focused intensity. Airguns just have a different feel for me personally, the nature of the rifle itself is different. Its not training or improvement upon professionalism. Its just fun.
Hunting with that thing is like slinging a soup can at your target! I took a look at the price and at $1,900.00, it is really worth the dollars if it has the potential to fill the freezer in one shot. Those penetration examples are absolutely sobering! Now put some ice on that shoulder and get to filming the next one, lol.
Another excellent presentation that I willingly devoted 20 minutes of my life to. Now to make some pop-corn and watch this a couple more times ;) You are without a doubt one of the, if not the best in class when it comes to producing high-quality video content Steve. I hope you never get tired of hearing it because it just feels wrong not to applaud every time, it's that good!
Never Haj. The reward is hearing that I was able to brighten your day. Thanks, Steve
Hajimoto ECWC it's a great video but that gun at 1900 I can get a Kimber Weatherby or Nosler.
Oh really? Thanks for the useful information.......
Can you use that Weatherby within city limits, near city limits or closer than 1000 yards to a residence? Well, you can but you'll get arrested. This gun on the other hand is always an air-gun and technically not a firearm. It's much quieter than a Centerfire and can be used in farms and near city limits as long as you're careful.
Hesam0000 what you say is true but the cost is startling. In addition to the gun itself there's also the cost of a charging system. I find it difficult to justify but that's me. By all means if you want it can justify it get it
And next week Steve is testing the air powered RPG lol
lol, No kidding!
I wish. 😅😅
Well never thought I’d see the day of elephant air guns!!! This and the AEA .72 Zeus are insane
That is an awesome air gun. Even my wife was impressed.
Yeah man at 100-200 yards that thing would be hitting like an old school 45-70 that the buffalo hunters where using out at 600 yards so it will get the job done its all about shot placement and straight line penetration.
I truly love your video's. You are a very kind, polite and professional airgun-expert. I learn a lot from you. Thank you so much for your great footages, sir. Kind regards from The Netherlands.
Keep up the great work. Clear, concise, everything we need and nothing we don't. They really are awesome videos on products we like and need... not the crap nobody wants. Thank you, your hard work is appreciated. Kevin
love your videos man. Always high quality, informative and just an overall relaxing way to just chill out for a small amount of time in my dad. Way to go!
Wow! That is some air rifle. 600 ft lbs of energy. Yet this isn't classed as a firearm in USA because no powder is being burned. Here in the UK 12 ft lbs is the limit for non FAC airguns which really are just toys (relatively speaking) when compared to this monster. Thumbs up from me and many thanks for sharing and showing the awesome power of these modern airguns.
That's s heck of a gun. I got to here some of the details during the R & D phase. It won the Big Bore comp at benchrest and it's taken some great game in South Africa. Mikey wants!
Yeah, Kip won the Extreme Big Bore last year with it. 200 yard competition :-0
The Texan has the refill fitting at the REAR/SIDE! That allows you to A) keep the tank connected for continuous shots, or B) refill without getting up!
Having the refill port at the front was an oversight IMHO
Another solid review, Steve! This gun makes the shot taken by someone on The High Road, to be the "stunt" that it was. This rifle, in the hands of a capable marksman, will make clean, ethical kills on large game animals. The accuracy potential of this one is unbelievable!
Thank you Charles. Have a nice weekend buddy. Steve
Hello again Steve. As always, great performance review! I wanted to see this especially after I saw Giles shoot this at AOA. That poor Brit was scared of it. LOL! The penetration test was most impressive, and you're a good shot with that beast. Shooting big bores that large are harder to control. Your shots were GREAT! If that was a heart shot at 100 yards, the deer would be dead. Great job and keep up the excellent reviews. I'm saving up to buy one of these.
Jeff Hall Thanks for the nice note Jeff. Yeah, they're harder to shoot well but for the guys who've figured them out, they're amazingly accurate with em'. Good luck saving and don't forget, 10% off and free freight on this one... don't think its found a home yet. Steve
Great review on the Bush buck. and it didn't contain any Mr Rogers music...keep up the great work young man.
James Sizemore Thanks James. Feel free to hit up my video page. You'll find dozens of fresh videos the focus on destination more so than journey. Best, Steve
Being able to safely dry fire most airguns is kind of a fun diversion
I haven’t shot a B.B. gun since I was very young. At least 7 years old, I’m 32 now.
Wow!!!!!!!!!! things changed in the last 20+ years.
They definitely have I was into air rifles since I was young and amassed a pretty good collection of quality break barrels now I just got back into it but I bought a pre-charged Pneumatic hatsan flash in.22 Midway usa had them on sale for $279 this thing shoots better than a Ruger 10/22 Target Model that I dumped a lot of money into, it's really impressive and like you said I cannot believe how far they have come in the technology side of it in even the last 20 years, I've been using it to drop the squirrel population at a local Farm 50 yd head shots are no problem at all and definitely one shot kills shooting slugs
Agree with other watchers, well done video. Pro, informative and great camera angles and highspeed video. Bravo!
That gun had some kick. I am getting a Epoc Badger in .40 caliber next week. I really enjoy big bore air rifles.
very good job!!!
Excellent video.
отличный стрелок и винтовка!!!
Excellent shooter and rifle!!!!!
11.48мм,30.4г, 235мс, 839дж на срезе💪🔥
Great video Steve,, I've been waiting on this one, I've heard about the gun a lot but never new its performance ,, thanks,,
Thanks Kevin. Yeah, I too had been itchin' to check the Bushbuck out. Steve
Ex law enforcement I would have never guessed! Thanks for your service.that was soo cool lol should you put your ears in? It sounds pretty loud also very best video like always
Love your videos Steve,you looked like a kid on Christmas Eve with that smile when you shoot a gang at 150
When you called it a dead duck 🦆 I could imagine a cloud of feathers
We've come a long way from my 4.5mm Diana back in 1972 to today's 600+ ft-lbs bigbore. I would've been the king of mountains if I had one of these back then. Personally I prefer this over Texan. I don't like pistol handle style of AF.
I would hope in 250 years we could improve airguns a little lol, Girandoni's air rifle of a diminutive .50 shooting a round ball was doing around 217 ft.lbs. in 1779... on a 700-800 psi fill... with borderline-medieval mfg technology and understanding of ballistics/physics.
I always laugh when modern companies beat their chest about how "powerful" their guns are... it's like a modern firearm company boasting about how their target rifles are more accurate than matchlock muskets lol
Great video man! I grew up in good old Plant City Florida. Really cool to see that. Keep up the good work!
Steve, you are to airgun reviewing as what a great chef is to whipping up fine cuisine!
BadLeaders I love u man 😍. Thank you.
Airgun, there were many of those on the firebases in Vietnam. Only they had wheels on theirs.
This video was well done
Awesome gun and awesome review! Thanks for the quality video!!
Most welcome friend. Thanks for the the nice note. Steve
Much Mahalo for this awesome vid! Mr. Hollowpoint's are vicious. Love them!
They are, they really are.
Nice shooting Steve...man,i thought my Texan hi hard...that thing is a real beast!
What a beautiful gun. Thanks for your hard work and professionalism in your reviews. This looks like a monster Crosman Maximus. Not to rain on the parade, but these big bores seem to defeat the purpose of airguns (IMHO). I am actually headed the other way. Steve's review of the Crosman Maximus Euro prompted me to buy one. Lots of trigger time, backyard worthy and economical to shoot. I do appreciate that you review all types of airguns and not just the most expensive, most powerful; not everyone can afford a $2000 airgun. But for those who do this seems like a winner.
Thanks Travis. Yeah, they've all got their place & use. Plenty of variety for everyone. Steve
It's good to know 3800 PSI is the sweet spot another great review.
:-)
Great review Steve you are having too much fun. that 45 is a beast I I actually just bought to texan 45 a few months ago big bores are definitely fun. thanks again
I really am. That gong & water jug were a blast. Couldn't believe how hard it hits at 100-150 yards. Steve
Man. This thing is cool. I need one. Well want but I'm telling my wife it's for when t rex is brought back. You can never be to careful
Well this looks like another great weapon .
Thanks for the video Steve. I really do like to watch them.
Omg this gun is pure air power
Awesome videos ,thanks for all the reviews Aloha
would love to see a company like this to make something like the big bore castleman sub machine airgun
Love my bushbuck .45! Powerhouse👍
So the Million dollar question is how much is the compressor to refill it? how long does refill take? I need way more information before I drop $2,000
@@captainjohnnymartinez833 1600 for the compressor 😕
Hi i like to watch it vedio because u do a detailed vedio of every air rifle i have seen all ur vedios all r good
I really enjoy your videos. it's exactly what I like to watch for a base point plus you introduce me to future buys! lol.
I just got my first real air gun (firearms usually but always loved the airgun ) . crosman summit ranger np2. 1400fps alloy 1200 lead 17cal.
see complaints about the trigger but I like it. I set it up to be a crisp 1 stage though it's actually a 2 stage. heavy but like my modified sks and ar. very easy to keep on 100%.
any experience in the slums of my gun? lol. thanks !
Paul H Hey Paul. Sorry buddy, none. Trail SBD vid may have something in common though. Best, Steve
What an air rifle, great job Steve!
Thanks for the note buddy. Steve
Id love to see you shoot more steel even with the entry level pcps
I'm falling in love with air tech.
👍
One more thing, why didn't you paint the yellow 150 Yard target so we could see what it can do at that range?
Holy freakin shit man! What a rifle. Makes my HW95 seem kinda pointless. She has taken many squirrels and rabbits and did so very efficiently but, I gotta say this makes me wanna step up my game:) What a great job you have Steve and no one does it better. Thanks buddy!
lol! The hw95 is a great gun. This doesn't take anything away from that. Thanks for sayin', hey. Steve
I’m new to these air gun videos. I am quite experienced with firearms. I have developed proprietary long range cartridges and rifles able to deliver much more than terminal velocities at one mile. Having said that, this rifle performs somewhat like a black powder big bore rifle. They killed everything in North America very proficiently, accept the bears. A lesson from history. Lewis and Clark were warned about the Grizzlies by Natives along the Missouri River. The first big Grizz they can upon was downed by one shot from the, I believe, 50 cal. Rifles they took, along with one or two very powerful air rifles. That left them overconfident, because the second Grizz they came across on the river was agitated and required 12 shots, from those same rifles, to put him down. Bears are very much a dangerous game animal. Please exercise good judgement.
..just behind you friend.
I saw a very interesting article about commercial aircraft speed versus power requirement. Basically, up to 610 mph (approx 895 fps) the power demand rises steadily but after that the power curve rises steeply until just over supersonic and then falls steadily to about 890 mph (approx 1305 fps). I thought the implications of pellet speed were interesting.
Interesting. One thing I noticed was how much faster a 470 grain slug traveling at 770 fps gets to a 100 yard target when compared to an 18 grain pellet traveling the same distance at the same speed. The heaver slug must maintain its velocity MUCH better.
The light-gas gun that Cody mentioned at the end of that video is actually some interesting reading material. The wikipedia article on it has a decent short summary as usual, I might have to spend some more time reading up on these things... yet another weird thing science has produced that I didn't know about until now: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-gas_gun
Ex law enforcement, OMG I would love to hear you explain tickets to people!
Very nice , love the videos Steve
How would it work with round balls and Polly patches. How about two round balls? I bet the velocity of the round balls would really be high, Try it! A 45 cal round ball weighs about 135 grains or so and they are a snap to cast. Another good one to try would be the 45 hollow base slugs they made for cap and ball revolvers. the high velocity would really flatten out trajectory and remember that energy is mass times velocity squared. Does this rifle have freebore? I notice that it does not take much effort to close the bolt so you are not breach seating the slug. would accuracy improve if you did? Maybe a tapered slug to engage rifling with nose on lands to improve concentricity?
That’s one awesome rifle , though really nothing to shoot in the burbs of Chicago .
Have you reviewed the. 177 Hatsan bullboss
Hi nice every vedio u do is very detailed one thanks for all ur vedios I have taken 2 to 3 rifles seeing it vedios
Now that's what I'm talking about now you speaking my language steve you know I like the big bore Airguns I like to say great job once again and like always
Thats not your older brothers old pellet gun, hahaha what a beast! nice review!
One very Awesome Big Bore Air-gun for Sure. Had a 50 cal Dragon Slayer years ago but this Rifle Left that Rifle in the Dust...
great accuracy for big bore my next purchase! AOA is my go to
yes looks good, I would like it wrapped with a pretty bow and a tin of slugs please lol.nice fair play
Steve, your airgun video's are just great!!! I learn a lot from you. I have bought already 2 Ataman guns, M2 Carbine CAL. 30 and M2 Carbine R (the folding stock one) CAL. 22 I also own a Benjamin Discovery CAL. 22 and Benjamin Marauder pistol CAL. 22 also Benjamin pneumatic 392 CAL 22 and Weihrauch HW 77 K CAL. 22 and my son owns a Baikal MP-651 Co2 pistol CAL .177, a Baikal MP-53 CAL.177 and a Baikal MP61 CAL. 177 I like you Steve, you are a great specialist on airguns. Thank you so much! Kind regards, Richard Mulder, The Russian Federation.
Greetings!
I got an aea 50 Cal Challenger and I love it.. I have no problem producing 500 ft pounds with a 300 grain slug and I get up to 14 shots when I'm at 4500 PSI sweet spot is 3800 I could shoot a 500 grain slug and produce crazy foot pounds
I'm not going to lie I'm very interested in this gun it's high quality and definitely a good rifle
Why they didn't make a larger tank for more shots... weight? law?
Thank you so much for putting in the time and energy to make this review on a real Whitetail hunting PCP. The Umarex Hammer has its issues that have yet to be resolved and the quality of this Bushbuck platform makes it worth the extra cost. This is the one big bore that I need to start saving for indeed. Thanks again. God bless.

I Subscribe to your channel a few days ago and man you got some amazing toys. Thanks for the review.
Haha, thanks and welcome. Can't take credit though for the toys though. They almost always go back to the video's sponsor right after the review 🙂
Great video, subscribed. What slugs were you using?
OMG ,JUST WHAT I NEEDED SOMETHING TO OCCUPY MY MIND WITH THE UMAREX HAMMER ! LOL
Just a great review Steve. Never seen any thing like that power. Questions - How much hold over on 100 and 150 yards? Have you shot a more powerful powder burner?
Hi Terry. Me neither, lol. The information you seek is in the vid. Check out the "shooter's notes." Best, Steve
Damm! It must have been tough to be a ballistic gelatin target that day. Loved the water jug hit also.
I ordered one supposed to be here Thursday ! going to try a bunch of bullets
I build those, they are fun.
is it threaded for a suppressor ?
I like when you get done with the review, the gun is given away as a prize. Surely the company that is having you review the gun, has a budget for advertising. I'm pretty sure that the loss is a tax deduction for advertising.
What a beast, I want one.
wow holly power and acuracy!!! i want one !!!,how much is a rifle like this????
lukes 2777 Visit the sponsor lukes... links in the description. Steve
Magnificent piece of adult toy!
Very nice. I do want one big bore air rifle. Perhaps this one ?
pretty cool . . . I'm sure it would go through almost any animal with the exception of a rhino. Wowsers.
Great looking stock on that rifle. Love the checkering. Kinda been waiting on you to shoot a big bore. Your giggle and smiles where just what I knew would happen when you did.....lol! The more you shoot big bores, the harder it will be for you to then pick up tiny 177's and 22 pellets....lol
Good stuff Steve
wow, you must love doing this. that is some air rifle.
I really do.
Why not just leave the tank connected?
You should try to do some reviews on the American Air Arms Slayers, .357, and the .457. Ugly rifles but they were ringing the bell at 550 yards with the .457. Your reviews are the benchmark. Thank you.
frederick king Tom is a welcome guest here and he knows it. Anytime he's ready. Best, Steve
Good. I'm waiting for the right big bore. No hunting. Just vaporize things, Maybe a rat ? Thank you sir. Great reviews. Love my new crown.
Nice video thanks greetings from Holland Jan
Marianne Merkus Greetings and welcome. Steve
Good information as always!
That's a badass gun cool
Lots of kenetic energy behind that slug , awsome dear and hog gun
Man that thing is a cannon !
nice airgun any jobs would love to test company's guns and video it and give them feed back
Nice review...that is an awesome rifle!
👍😊
Steve! Love your work! Hey--I recently received my bushbuck despite the stock supply problems AOA is having with their suppliers. Just wondering what serial number was on your test gun.
gil yost I sent it back already buddy. Sorry about that. Steve
nice thats more accurate at 50yards compared to the fx impact x .25 i own! 2-3 inch groups at 50yards all day 60 shots max on regulator good thing i hunt under 30 yards
Steve I know that you may have quite a few videos that have been suggested...and so I would like to see this one compared to the Airforce Texan in .45 also plus I would like to know where this gun gets the power from a and where the Texan doesn't...
Peter Kroeker I feel ya. I've asked for a Teaxan more than once but haven't seen it yet. As for why the Bushbuck makes more power, just guessing here but maybe more air & more barrel = more power. Best, Steve
the texan shoots 405 grain at 750 fps which pyramid air claims is good for 505 fpe and the numbers you post are very similar except for energy...this is why I was confused.... but watching again I saw you shoot a much heavier pellet at an even faster speed. so I went back and watched again and saw higher psi and put it together thanks for the reply
Brutal and impressive. Hunter toy for sure. :)
love how you go into detail ☺☺
Hi Kenny, long time no hear. Glad you enjoyed this one. Steve
Outstanding shipmate.
Wow that was awesome! I love to see that in a sub 12 fp...NOT! I have a gallonsize bottle setup at 125m and somehow my fwb 300s universal isn´t doing the same damage...
I wonder what the power of antique air-guns was, compared with this? The military and hunting ones that had the ball reservoir under them.
Great stuff Steve! wish they could drop a suppressor on that beast!
Thanks man. They'll soon be releasing a shorter version. Perhaps that one will be a good candidate for a can. Steve
