New TX200

(1/2) > >>

Hogstir:
  I finally got my new TX200 a few days ago. I mounted a Hawke 3-12x50 scope with large sidewheel.
After shooting about 100 pellets I tested 5 different pellets for accuracy. My rifle seems to like the H&N FTT 4.52 the best followed by H&N Barracuda Match.
I then used my Chrony and the results were
H&N FTT 8.64g
Avg velocity = 869
Extreme Spread = 21
STD Deviation = 6
14.49ftlbs
I measured scope height using the tinfoil method and got 1.9”.
I input the data into Chairgun and got an apex zero range of 26yrds.
Now I have to work on ranging and marking the sidewheel.
What do you guys think of these results and have I forgotten anything other than actually verifying the Chairgun intercepts?

Ray,
Your rifle is shooting fine.
After 4-500 more pellets you should see an increase to close to 900fps with your 8.64 grain 4.52mm FTT.
The very same pellet I use.
I was averaging 910fps until this year (that was with the first 15,000 pellets).
This year the speed has dropped to 895fps.
HFT shooters are now allowed to go to 16X (my scopes only go to 14X).
Here are my numbers:

I’ve never shot field target before and I already had the Hawke 3-12 so that what I went with for the time being.
   You results are great. Hopefully after a lot of pellets the SD and extreme spread in my rifle will also decrease.

Which 3-12?
Not Hawkes are springer rated..
