AOA Bushbuck .451
Look What Arrived Today!! The Western Rattler .357 Semi Auto!
I am really excited to get this innovative rifle in, just 2 weeks before I leave on a hunting trip in Texas looking for hogs and predators! And if I can hit the 215 fpe mark, I’ll use if for javalina as well! Jim Chapman You’d have thought that with over 20 years of evaluating, … Continue reading
Jim and the Oryx
I’d been invited to West Texas to hunt oryx with an online friend named Chacho Gonzales. I get a lot of invites and can’t do them all, but this one intrigued me because there are only three exotics in Texas I have a burning desire to take with an air rifle; the blackbuck, the aoudad, … Continue reading

Took the Bushbuck .451 on a Hog Hunt!!
