pianoman 3,587 Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 To be honest here, FAC air is a bit overated. I have an FAC and an HW80 .22 on it. The rifle is absolutely superb at around 21 ft/lbs power but, the only time the rifle wins out over sub-12ft/lb power is in the moments where a wary rabbit bolts in that split second the shot is fired. The .22 pellet from my HW80 hits faster than they can react in most cases, but not all. It certainly does not mean you can shoot to greater, further ranges with the certainty of a kill. Your fieldcraft, camouflage and concealment techniques should overcome that and get you closer to your quarry to effect a clean killing shot through the head. The TX200 is at its best in .177 if you are serious about going the FAC route for tuning one. They are brilliant at 16ft/lbs and the .177 pellet is superbly accurate and hard hitting. The .22 version is only good for around 16 ft/lbs at the most and frankly, that's not worth taking the slot space on your Firearms Certificate. Pianoman. Quote Link to post
