[crazycraddog 1]

Hi

Im new to the forum and would like to know what you guys think about getting my Tx200 tune? It shoot pellet on pellet,and wondering if i get it tune would it improve it much more. What do they do to it? who the best person to do it? How much would i be looking at?

Thanks.

cant get much better than pellet on pellet buddy... if it aint broke etc etc

True though I ask,wondering would it make a difference. Thanks

You may get less recoil, smoother cocking and better accuracy at farther ranges but as said...if it ain't broke ;-)

 

What's your max comfortable hunting range? If it's accurate at that then why do anything to it at all? You could spend 100+ quid for very little difference. Would it be worth it ? :-)

[AR177 588]

depends on how good it is now mate and what kind of tune you have done to it.

 

Basically it should;

Make it more consistent (although yours seems pritty good if pellet on pellet)

Have a smoother cocking action

Feel less recoil

Reduce some noise

Sort any trigger issues out making it crisp

 

Depending on how good/bad yours is in those areas at the minute will determine how well a tune will affect it & getting it tuned by someone who knows what they are doing will help

my thoughts exactly.. just posted it a second before i did

Thanks lads . Noise is an issue it is quite loud and it'd be nice to reduce the recoils. Hitting out to 45 yards spot on. what sort of money would i be looking at?

Depends on who does it and whats done but about...

 

Thick end of £100

 

Some more.. Some less

Hi there mate.

 

If your rifle is producing pellet on pellet accuracy, how do you think you can improve that? Accuracy is not an issue here really is it.

 

What do you mean exactly when you say it's noisy? Might just need a lube and a bit of grease? You know, a bit of a service and a little TLC.

 

As to cost, the best person to answer that is the guy you approach to do the work. Depends what you want doing. But in all honesty, I don't think a tune is your answer here. It might even work against you and upset your TX200's accuracy with it's current pellet.

Thanks taken all on board .

when you say loud is it when your firing it or is it the muzzle report when someone else fires it,my prosport has quiet a thud,but one meter infront of the barrel and its pcp quiet

45 yards spot on!

Buy some pellets, ear plugs a load of beer and a curry and be glad you didn't get it tuned.

Saying that i tune my guns and no sooner do i finish with them i come up with new plans based on what I've gleaned off of here and what i can find on tuning.

For example i have 2 - 97ks and they are polished with SFS and Vmach stuff, tuned triggers and they are really deadly accurate.

But i know if I bite the bullet and drill 4 holes into the compression tubes, thread them, screw in delrin with thread lock and produce inner outer buttons as well as fixing the spring guide to the back blocks I'll be shooting super super slick 97s.

Then again if you have enough money buy the beers and curry and get SFS to tune your baby for you.

Sorry for being of no help.

I hope you have a brilliant time with your TX though pal, and good luck with whatever you do with it.

 

Chris.

 

P.S If yo do get it tuned lets us know how you get on with it cheers!

ahh i've just taken to messing around with the internals myself.. much more fun :thumbs

 

& whats the worst that can happen??

 

[sparkycrew 22]

if its as accurate as you say i would leave it alone,the thud you hear is the spring unloading,having your cheek on the stock amplifies the noise through nasal cavities to your ears,for me the noise and slight recoil give my prosport its character,i shot a couple of expensive pcp's the other night and although they were nice,its a real non event when pulling the trigger,also one pcp shot badly at 40m,prosport hit the hft rabbit more times at 40 metres,how smug do i feel
