Our experience with the Western Airguns Bushbuck .45

At first contact, the weight of 4.65 kilograms is immediately noticeable – this feels like a serious piece of equipment. The walnut stock with laser texture fits perfectly in the hand, and the adjustable cheek piece ensures you always find the ideal shoulder position. The bolt-action system operates smoothly and gives you full control over every shot. What stands out most is the immense power: with two shots at full pressure, you deliver an impact rarely matched by other air rifles.

Technology and performance

This PCP air rifle operates with a 285cc air cylinder that can be filled up to 4200 PSI. The 762mm long barrel ensures optimal stabilisation of the heavy .45 projectiles. The single action trigger system offers a predictable trigger pull for consistent shots. The Picatinny top rail makes mounting a rifle scope easy – and trust us, with this level of power and range, you will want to use quality optics. Please note: a rifle scope is not included.

Use and operation

Loading is done via the bolt-action system: pull the bolt back to cock the hammer and load a new projectile. The safety catch is logically positioned and easy to operate. This powerful air rifle requires disciplined use. Only use soft lead pellets and strictly adhere to the fill pressures – above 3000 PSI only shoot at full power to prevent pellet jams. The ambidextrous operation makes it accessible for everyone, but keep in mind that this rifle demands a serious approach.
