Why More Shooters Choose to Use Big Bore Air Guns for Serious Shooting Power

September 4, 2025

For those looking to push the limits of air-powered performance, more and more shooters are making the switch to use Big Bore Air Guns. Whether you’re after precision, power, or the sheer thrill of long-range accuracy, Big Bore Airguns have become a go-to choice for experienced marksmen and passionate hunters alike. At AirForce Airguns, we’ve engineered a full lineup of high-performance rifles that redefine what airguns are capable of. From compact carbines to long-barreled models with unmatched muzzle energy, each rifle in our Big Bore series offers something unique while sharing the same rugged DNA and purpose-driven design.

Why Use Big Bore Air Guns?

Shooters use Big Bore Air Guns for a variety of reasons, but it always comes down to performance. These air rifles deliver serious foot-pounds of energy, making them a favorite for large game hunting and long-distance target shooting. With a wide range of calibers, our lineup ensures that you can choose the right tool for the job—without compromising accuracy or consistency.

Our rifles like the Texan, Texan LSS, and Texan SS are specifically crafted to harness that energy with control and precision. Features like the Lothar Walther barrels and adjustable power levels give shooters the tools they need to fine-tune their experience. And with our proprietary Sound-Loc® system, we’ve reduced report volume while maintaining the raw power these rifles are known for. Take a closer look at our full selection of Big Bore Airguns here, and you’ll find rifles purpose-built for strength, speed, and stability.

Built in America, Trusted Everywhere

All AirForce Big Bore Airguns are proudly made in the USA. That means strict quality control, cutting-edge materials, and a design process that never cuts corners. Each rifle is built with aircraft-grade aluminum and thoughtfully engineered for real-world use, from the bench to the backcountry.

Whether you’re working with the streamlined Texan Carbine or the heavy-hitting Texan CF Series, you can count on durability, repeatable performance, and an airgun you’ll be proud to pass down. Every detail—from the pressure gauge to the Picatinny rail—is chosen with the shooter in mind.

We stand behind every model we make, and it’s why so many shooters continue to use Big Bore Air Guns from AirForce year after year.

Big Bore Airguns vs. Traditional Firearms

While some shooters are drawn to traditional powder rifles, the benefits of Big Bore Airguns are hard to ignore. They’re quieter, require less maintenance, and offer a unique shooting experience that’s both challenging and rewarding. With no combustion and fewer moving parts, there’s less to go wrong—and more to appreciate about every shot.

AirForce Big Bore models also feature refillable air tanks and adjustable power settings, giving you more control over your shooting experience. That means you can dial in exactly how your rifle performs under different conditions. It’s a level of versatility traditional rifles simply can’t match. Explore more of our Big Bore Airguns here and see how these advantages translate into real results in the field.

The Tex-Rex is one of our latest innovations—offering over 1,100 foot-pounds of energy in a sleek, modern frame. It’s a perfect example of how we continue to push forward, designing rifles that go further, hit harder, and perform better across the board.

Every AirForce Big Bore Airgun benefits from decades of experience and a relentless focus on advancement. Whether you’re dialing in your optics or loading up for a trip outdoors, our rifles are made to meet your expectations—and exceed them.

Use Big Bore Air Guns not just because they’re powerful, but because they’re built with care, insight, and a deep respect for the sport.
