well guys im slowly getting the hang of my new tx200 hc,even though its a right hander and im a lefty i seem to be doing ok im limiting my self down to about 20 yards cos to tell the truth im not that good a shot i can manage to get decent groups at about 20 yards about the size of a fifty p piece after that im struggling abit i guess lots more practice to be doing any how i got these two mooching about on my compost heap cheers mal

well guys i went and did it i got myself a proper air rifle at last after much debateing between the bsa lightning and the tx 200 hc i decided to treat myself to the tx200 hc and well chuffed i am with it . i took it down the garden last night and it took out 8 rats afteri managed to zero it in. its abit strange for me to use as im left handed but the more im useing it the better its performing its an heavy bugger after a while but as i say ill get used to it what would you guys use to protect the wallnut stock ie oil ,wax anyhow im waffleing on thanks to all the guys who helped me

well guys i just got back from the garden doing a bit of zeroing and a bit more plinking with my new tx200 and im impressed with it . took me a while to get used to loading it and the friggin bear trap thingy as im a left hander and its a right hand stock but i think i really like this rifle i have only zeroed it to about 20 yards as thats all i need over the plot and im getting about 1 inch groups now only put about 50 slugs through it but it seems a nice piece of kit its a bit heavy but ill get used to it one thing i was supprised with is the trigger its very light compared to other
