At first the lack of proper garb bothered me but once I got to know the rifle, I forgot completely about it.

Yeah, Maddog's got it going on when it comes to Airforce stocks. Good call Thurmond."T3PRanch"
Although it is comfortable with the bottle "stock", what really makes the accuracy of a Texan shine is a Mad Dog Stock. It stiffens an otherwise somewhat flexible frame and makes a 300 yard gun out of it! I have Mad Dog stocks on all my AirForce guns but my Texan and that stock is currently in production! I recently bought one of Steve's used personal guns which was a Condor on a Mad Dog Stock! Is there a pattern here?

Just to make a comparison here. The energy produced from this Texan is on par with .380 auto handguns. Pretty impressive considering the chamber pressures for that cartridge are around 21000+psi. Just trying to throw out some numbers so everyone realizes just how deadly this gun can be.

Steve, thanks for another great review. The texan 357 is awsome. Im save up for a RAW IN .357 with a walnut stock pistol grip type. Your video on the RAW is what realy got me wanting a RAW Rifle. Thanks again.

Steve,
I rewatched the other 3 .357 guns that you have reviewed. The Bulldog, HM1000X, and the M2R type 2 carbine. Of the 4 you have tested so far, what advantages does the Texan have over the others, in your opinion? That M2R was stunning at 100 yd's with polymags. I mean they were to the left of the bull a couple inches but that was a seriously tight group. The Texan also skewed to the left with the aero magnums. The RAW was slow (under-powered) by comparison but still centered with great groupings and I'll bet, by far, the quietest of the bunch. The Bulldog looks to me to get the job done but middle of the road with noise, power, and accuracy but it gets the job done. I wonder if you were spending your money on one of these 4 which would you pick and why?
I love your work BTW and I think I speak for us all when I say we appreciate what you do. Keep at it.

i'm really shocked that the polymags grouped that well at those speeds. the pigeons definately will not make it.

I've only taken one coyote , it was at 60 yards with a.25 cricket. Heart shot it jumped once then staggered maybe 10 feet and fell over dead , with a gun like this , I think I would be hunting coyotes a lot more.

Great gun! Lothar Walther barrel, simple design and it's big in all ways; what's not to like? From all the other big bore guns out there, it seems like this one is the best in terms of accuracy. Anybody else heard differently?
