Looking for Texan LSS .257

[Rollo]

Looking for a quiet critter getter. I'm already invested in the Texan platform so this would be my first choice. Hoping someone here in TN had one they were willing to part with. I have more substantial arms willing to trade.
Thanks....

That's an awesome looking setup. Hows it do at extended distances?

Not sure but I've heard good reports of 175 yd. distances. My .457 Texan is good out to 100 yards with 1" groups and still passing through a treated 2x6 with 300 gr. lead. I'm hoping for flatter trajectory with the .257 for midsized varmits. Just need to get my hands on one now....

A guy on Airforce Texan Nation Facebook group page is selling his .257.

".257 shoots about 900fps 850$ tyd scope not included."

Yeah, I talked to that guy a couple of weeks ago. It's a Condor but a really nice one. Tricked out w/Donnie FL but Christmas and COVID have cleaned me out for the moment. Thanks for the heads up though!

Still looking....

Well went ahead and bit the pellet on a new standard AF Texan .257. Neil Clague is making a full shroud moderator for it so hopefully it will be quieter than a LSS. Will post after break in period. Now to find some lead for it.... ugggg.

 

[Kirk]

Do you have to send it to Neil for the full shroud work? He does some really good work.

 

[Rollo]

No. You send him some measurements and he does it off that. Hope to get it next week.
