Our experience with the Bushbuck .45 Grey Laminate

At Shogun, we have thoroughly tested this air rifle and the impression is overwhelming. The weight of 4.65 kilograms feels substantial without being cumbersome. The side lever cycles 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 long-range precision. The finish is exactly what you would expect in this class.

Technology and performance

This PCP air rifle operates on compressed air with a maximum fill pressure of 310 bar. What’s special is the adjustable power: at full strength you get more than 800 Joules, but you can switch down to around 400 Joules. This gives you more shots per fill and makes it more versatile. The 11.4mm (.45) caliber means you are shooting with large projectiles – true big bore territory. Please note: a rifle scope is not included. Curious about all the technical details? You’ll find them under the ‘More information’ tab on this page.

Use and operation

The operation of this air rifle requires some getting used to. Due to the single-shot system, you manually reload after each shot via the side lever – this feels very deliberate. The adjustable cheek piece helps you find the perfect shooting position, which is essential with this level of power. The Weaver top rail is mounted low for optimal sight alignment. The safety catch operates positively and reliably. This is equipment that deserves respect.

Who is this air rifle intended for?

Let’s be honest: this is not an entry-level model. The Bushbuck .45 is developed for advanced shooters with experience in powerful air rifles and PCP systems. You need to be familiar with high fill pressures and know how to maintain such a precision instrument. For recreational long-range precision shooting, this is an impressive piece of technology.
