TX200 Newbie

[BenjaminCadd 109]

Christamas came early yesterday i picked up my Bargain .177 Tx200, the man has hardely used it since new not even broken in, looks new to be honnest, cant belive it, have used BSA springers all my life but took this out for half hour and i know what all the fuss is about, there in a totaly different leauge!.

It came with with a MTC Viper Scope 10 x 44 now im used to a 3-9 x 40 Scope and this dose me fine for Huntng needs, so do you think this scope is a bit of over kill? or is it realy worth holding onto and keeping on the rifle?

Any advice with the TX200 or MTC Scope would be great, i feel abit out of my depth at the moment and am handling it like its a new born Baby if not better haha!

Many Thanks Ben.

Awsome rifle mate keep it....they are a 100 times better than any BSA springer...i will also sugguest that you change the Viper scope for something designed for recoiling rifles....they work ok but a heavy jolt will fk it up mate

 

In my eyes the TX200 is the best spring rifle in the world..out of curiosity how much did you pay for it?

£300 i couldnt belive my luck, this is the link http://www.airgunbbs.com/showthread.php?598915-TX200HC-Mk-3 had been searching for one for a while now, but yes i think your right in changing the scope thats why i fought i would ask, also its abit too fancy for me .

Many Thanks.

Nice gun indeed

 

10x44 nope not overkill at all I like scopes with variable zoom and a 50 mm objective, usually a 3.5 to 10 or a 4-12 is all I will ever need, the high mag is great for surgical precision placement of pellet and range finding, the lower end is great for lowlight and lamping

 

I'm not 100% sure but I thought the Viper was springer rated?

The TX does not recoil that much either, or it should not recoil that much either!

Depends on what version you have though

 

 

After looking at pics again i can see the version he has is ok for recoiling rifles but then as mike has said the TX has very little recoil anyway

Hi

A bargain or what!!!!!

Keep them both,a good combination.10mag true mildot and 44 objective ideal for hunting and hft and depth of field,not to mention multi aim points and the clarity!!!!

Cracking combo mate. I use the same on my HFT setup and if I do my bit, I compete with the PCP's no problem!

 

Kindest Regards,
