Compact Power. Precision Control. Quiet Authority.
The AirForce TexanSS .257 Caliber Air Rifle is a compact, high-performance big-bore PCP designed for hunters who demand accuracy, efficiency, and reduced report in the field. Built around a carbine-length barrel and AirForce’s redesigned Sound-Loc® system, the TexanSS .257 delivers a noticeably quieter shooting experience while maintaining the power and performance the Texan platform is known for.
At its core is a 24.75-inch Lothar Walther precision barrel, optimized for consistent accuracy and efficient air use with .257 caliber projectiles. Paired with a 500cc air tank and a maximum fill pressure of 3,000 PSI, the TexanSS .257 is capable of reaching velocities over 1,000+ feet per second, depending on projectile weight. The adjustable power system allows shooters to fine-tune output for different hunting scenarios—from small game and varmints to medium-sized game—while the smooth, low-effort side-lever cocking ensures reliable single-shot operation.
Designed with versatility and control in mind, the TexanSS .257 features a manual safety and a two-stage adjustable trigger for a refined shooting experience. The platform supports both open sights and modern optics, with a Picatinny scope rail and upper and lower dovetail accessory rails for added flexibility. Finished in AirForce’s classic black, the TexanSS .257 is built to perform in demanding hunting environments while remaining compact and easy to maneuver.
