Our experience with the Bushbuck .45 Grey Laminate

At Shogun, we've been able to test this air rifle extensively and the impression is overwhelming. The weight of 4.65 kilograms feels substantial without becoming cumbersome. The side lever loads smoothly and the single action trigger breaks crisply. What immediately stands out is the imposing 76.2 cm long barrel – this noticeably contributes to stability and precision at long distances.

What's special is the adjustable power: at full power you deliver more than 800 joules, but you can switch back to approximately 400 joules for more shots per fill. This model is exclusively available in 11.4mm (.45) caliber with a maximum power output of 813 joules. The Weaver top rail provides space for mounting a rifle scope (not included).

Use and operation

Operating this air rifle takes getting used to. Due to the single-shot system, you manually reload after each shot via the side lever – that feels very deliberate. The adjustable cheek piece helps you find the perfect shooting position, which is essential with this power. The safety catch works positively and reliably. The right-handed design makes this a fully-fledged air rifle for serious recreational use.

This is not an entry-level model – the Bushbuck .45 is designed for advanced shooters with experience in powerful air rifles and PCP systems. You must be familiar with high fill pressures and know how to maintain such a precision instrument. For recreational precision shooting at long distances, this American top product offers unprecedented possibilities. The well-thought-out ergonomics make long shooting sessions comfortable.
