give him a call…
probably be his wife Ms. Reba you reach, she handles all the business anyways and is great folk as well as knowlegable on Jacks line.
Jacks line is usually a couple months or there abouts but WELL worth the wait.
well Dennis gets most of the attention at least in my opinion Jacks rifles perform about as well and have much better asthetics, {better looking furniture & hardware}
if one wants a .50 or a bigbore pistol, Dennis is the Man
if you want a .308 or a .45 Jack deserves serious consideration
I sent Jack Haley an e-mail and am a waiting a response but aslong as his line isnt a mile long i think im gonna get in it…his work as beautiful and affordable
It’s over price anyway, if you want to get it with good price, you will need to go directly to the source if you could make it through and if you don’t mind the waiting time, check the page below.
actually I was having dinner with the inlaws and only saw the picture on my cellphone when i linked over to the page…..now i feel that i spoke to soon…i guess thats what i get for just reading the pictures and not the text….but in my defence i had to look like i wasnt browsing the web when i was supposed to be enjoying dinner with the estended family.. :5
and the DAQ is a little outta my price range plus i dont really want a .50
If you need 1 right the way, here is 1 on sale, price a little high.

Subssonic,
I have seen peoples hunted buffalo with the .45 cal also, since you’re serious with hunting, .45 cal seem to be your best choice.
Good luck.
Legal hunting would be a better phrase to apply
a few points of order here regarding what is effective for taking larger grass eaters such as deer.
For many many years in the muzzleloader era the average bore on civillian sporting rifles here in the USA was either a .32, at best a .36
Very few rifles were manufactured with above .40 bores as it limited the number of rebores and moreover were a great deal more costly in terms of often hard to source powder & lead. It was a different story in the Great Plains & Rocky mountains where there was once an abundance of Dangerous Game but in much of early America deer were routinely taken with .28, .32 & .36 rifles.
As we progressed into the cartridge era many of the more popular rounds were rather small bored & slow movers…things like the various .25-20 rounds, .32s, .35s ect… Heck at one point the Winchester Repeating Firearms Company specifically marketed a version of the 1892 Lever gun in .25-20 to New England deer hunters!
It gets even crazier when one remembers that more Big Game has been taken with the lowly .22 rim fire than all other rounds combined. Why? Simple…economy. The rifles were cheap and so was the ammo.
Many years ago I started collecting vintage hunting pix from the upper midwest and its damn rare to see more than one center fire rifle in pix taken prior to the 40s. Mostly its single barrel shotguns and .22s
Laws started to changed around the 30s to keep the poor from hunting on the Kings land but prior to that small bores ruled supreme among your average rural families.
Even tho its not legal I would not feel under armed with a .308 pneumatic rifle against a Deer. I have owned a good number of high end vintage English pneumatic stalking rifles over the years that were built for Deer and they ranged from .32 to .41 These were serious tools not built for zapping rodents but deer on the estate.
In North America we have been brainwashed into this concept that bigger is always superior whether its engine displacement or the caliber of our weapons.
just saying it wasnt always the case.

I hunt deer here in S.C. with my 9mm career 201s stock. 1 shot kills just know ur limits. I treat it like a bow,for deer i keep the shots under 50 yds. But now that its shooting hot im gonna try it out to 70 yds.
As far as Cal. Choice goes I want the .45 due to available ammo in town vs ordering every thing I wanna throw down range… I myself own a .250-3000 that is definitely capable of dropping a deer in its tracks (my grandpa used it to shoot more than he can remember ) and its still all about shot placement
Excellent post Riverside! I don’t know how many threads on various forums I’ve seen degrade to the point that the only humane way to take a deer is with a 25mm bushmaster cannon!
A powerful .308 airgun is plenty capable of taking deer. The problem of course is that there are a bunch of .308 and .32 airguns on the market that are not really “powerful” and suitable. Powerful is a relative term of course so I’ll just define it: in .308/.32 you need a minimum of 120 FPE with a round you can place in the kill zone. I’ve actually got pictures of a deer taken with one of our slugs from a 100 FPE gun but given the circumstances and marksmanship of that fellow, he is one of few i would trust below the above minimums. You’ll note that those minimums look a lot like the performance of a hot .22…
BTW, for brown bear, if you have to use an airgun…get the Justice and carry a backup!
well I take exception with the use of the word “serious” when applied to hunting & projectile size/speed
