I have never even handled one of these beauties, let alone owned one, but I am certain that you are about to have the finest airgun you are ever likely to see.
They charge enough for them, so they had better be, though!

Tom, I understand your excitement. They are generally excellent rifles and very accurate. Put the best scope you think you can't afford on it. In time, the costs of good glass will be offset by the durability and satisfaction of good quality. Since I don't have the .22 version I can't offer any suggestions for pellets but most LW barrels aren't too picky. Enjoy!

You seem to have a good choice in air guns, but not sure about your choice of ladies? That gator in your avatar looks to be a hand full!!
   Have fun with that new TX200 and post the outcome.

Congrats on your new lady. Believe me, I know what you're feeling. I have one in .177 cal and recently changed the stock on it for a Macarri walnut ft one. They are deadly accurate. Have fun!

No offense meant by me either. I just see a whole lot of (beautiful) wood. I like the wood but I don't know after using composite I could go back to the weight. Just sayin....

Was shooting my friends Pro Sport and TX the other day and oh man it's like meeting a new girl and she owns a 65 Mustang. You just don't want to let her go even for a moment. I am sure you are gonna sleep fine after an image like that.

Between ur tx200 and ur old b-40 can u tell the difference between the two?
Title: Re: TX200 on wedsday YEE HAW
Post by: tpw on September 01, 2010, 12:51:17 AM
it took me a minute to figure out what you meant. lol. it not worthy that i will be gone till about 4 but still leaves me time to scope and put some rounds down range before dark.

Post by: Jay on September 01, 2010, 01:25:57 AM
Yeah I know my sense of humor is twisted LOL!!! I'm glad this deal came together for you this time an I sure hope she is a keeper. Some day I hope to step up to the level of a TX200. Make sure ya post us some pic's when you slow down from all the shooting,look forward to seeing your set up Bro.

i had to make some sacrifices and it wasnt easy. i went from bottle bud light to miller 18 pack cans and a 'cheaper' brand of cig. also sold my mm tuned b40 to finish paying for it but im sure i wont regret that decision and someone else will be enjoying her tomorow. i also broke up with my high maint. girlfriend a short time back sothat helped a whole bunch.lol. i still have to watch the pennies t save up for a whole sleeve of hn ftt pellets.
