In this episode of Rossi’s reviews, Rossi touches on one of the most important topics when selecting a scope which is picking out the right mounting system. To achieve optimal accuracy you have to start with the right mounting system for your scope and in this episode, Rossi is going to take a detailed look at the scope mounts from BKL Technologies. They are manufacturers of the largest selection of airgun and rimfire scope mounts in the U.S. Their competition-grade scope mounting system includes scope mounts, scope rings, dovetail to weaver adaptors, and scope risers that utilize a quick-installing and self-aligning clamping system that fits both 11mm and 3/8″ dovetails. Their patented auto-centering and clamp spreading technologies are also a standard on all series and are made from the highest grade aircraft aluminum alloy.
In this installment of Rossi’s Reviews, we’re taking a look at the Texan SS and Texan from AirForce Airguns for a side by side comparison. The Texan SS may put out less foot per lbs. but it makes up for that in its ability to be accurate and quiet. Watch the full review below!
The Texan SS can give you up to 400-foot pounds of muzzle energy out of a compact size. Compared to its older brother, the Texan SS is just over 45″ in carbine length while the older version is around 48″. But within that compact size, AirForce also added a fully-shrouded barrel built Sound-Loc System technology.
The AirForce Texan delivers more power than any other production air rifle: .45-caliber bullets leave the muzzle at 1000 fps (up to 500+ ft-lbs. of energy). Load, cock, aim, squeeze and deliver jaw-dropping power. An entire world of hunting opportunities has just opened up to you.
