Chet,
You asked: I also read that the tx 200 is most popular and winning est rifle. i am not sure of the rules in the game, I know PCP are very accurate, can they be used in the same class, if so, is the tx 200 as or more accurate then say a Maruader.
I have also heard that the tx 200 is has the most wins in field target. I believe it.
Generally the piston rifles are in their own class and the pcp's in another. The springers are at too much of a disadvantage to compete. With small clubs they may not have enough shooters to separate classes but generally they springers don't shoot with the pcp's.
I believe the Marauder would have slight edge in accuracy over the tx 200 in the right hands. Not much though and a great shooter with a tx 200 would outscore a good shooter with a maruader. That's my best answer to your question.
Your original post said that you were mostly interested in paper punching (shooting groups). That is a different animal than field target. Much of the challenge in field target lies in range estimating. The targets are at unknown distances between 10 and 55 yards and of sizes varying between 3/8 and 2 inches. A flatter trajectory helps eliminate the need for holdover or "clicking" the elevation turret to compensate for the various estimated distances.
When shooting groups the range is the same every time. At least for each group. So what I am getting at is that what is great for field target is not necessarily great for bench rested paper punching.
Both disciplines need an accurate rifle though.
Good luck,
Mark N

A good fixed barrel, FT gun or whatever you wanna call it....will definitely hang with the bench shooters. The only limit being power, and the guy pulling the trigger.

If you already have the 34 and is your play gun and want something extra-ordinary, go with the TX. It is well worth the wait to save up and if you buy 100+ more rifles you can use it as your gold standard gauge for all future purchases. Also helps when you are really down and not getting good groups on rifles you are tinkering and can't get dialed in. Just walk over to the TX to feel some perfection for the day.
