Title: partial review of my new tx200. there was alot more but it got lost
Post by: tpw on September 01, 2010, 10:14:30 PM
i did a whole rightup on the tx i recieved today with pics and its not showing up here. and im not typing it all again lol. ill do a bit at a time. long story short its a great gun. comparison of the tx vs the b40. to be totally honest with you(IMO) THERE IS NONE. the b40 i had was a very good gun but t was mabye 50% of a tx. im not sure where peaple say that its 80% but the only thing that the 40 has in common with the tx is basic looks and wieght and fps. they are 2 totally differnt guns and should not be compared against each other. its the apple and orange thing. im not putting down anyone that has the 40 because they are great guns and i liked mine very much. i do have the problem in that i dont know if/when ill shoot my other guns because i dont think ill get the same enjoyment as i did before. if i do sell them, ill only be posting here because i told steve where he can stick his forum and deleted my account :) .

Hey, you need to do the whole write up again. After all the build up and anticipation the last couple weeks we want satisfaction :-X My next purchase has come down to the 200 or one of the new NP Remington's. A big price spread between the two and I need all the feed back I can get.
 Maybe you could try this. The same thing has happened to me in the past where my typing vanished and I lost it. I began typing my lengthy post in notepad and saving it every few minutes. When finished I ran it against spell check to get rid of annoying mistakes and dangling participles. When all looks good I copy and paste on the thread I am posting to. Works well and reduces stress.
 That's my tip for the day and I eagerly await impartial feedback about your new toy gun ;D

Maybe that hurrycane will bring rain and you can find time to do a complete report?

007 - I've got both. . Actually, if I were buying a hunter - the NPSS is probably the way to go. A lot lighter, synthetic stock, don't have to worry about scratching the beautiful stock or bluing. Now for target shooting and an all-arounder, the TX is phenominal accuracy wise, and a real pleasure just to look at. Maybe an equal is the HW97, and I've got one of those on the way. (found a used one with a Simmons ProAir 6x18 for $480 -couldn't resist).
 Besides - when I was trying to decide between the TX and the HW, Gene said to "buy em both!" -so I'm just following his instructions.lol
