Title: Tech Force 87 Contender Series .22 Caliber: Good gun?
Post by: Jman on August 03, 2010, 12:23:25 AM

Is it a great gun? I need accuracy up to 40-50 yards and the price is right. 950fps in 22 seems pretty powerful also.
           Thanks

youll get mixed reviews but you wont get 950. look more for the 800 range.there are other really nice guns out there and it might pay off to do a little research before you make the plunge. what will you be using it for?hunting,target,plincking? and what is your price range?

Hunting, Ill probably be shooting up to 250$. I might go for the Benji trail XL in 22 or 25 cal. even though its around 300$. Itll be awhile before I actually order a new air rifle because I dont have much money as of now, but am hoping to save and purchase in the near future. I just want to get my research done. I am 14 for reference.

For greys you could just buy a TF 99. They' ve had them on sale for around $100. 

Shooting squirrels is as much about accuracy as it is power.  With that said I want an 87 too :)
