We were in Nevada, but I bet this gun would have shot clear into Texas.<\/p>\n<p>So what is so special about this Texan? As they say, everything is bigger in Texas and this rifle is no exception.\u00a0 We are talking about a .45 caliber bullet traveling around 1000 fps.\u00a0 Not too shabby for any rifle.
