Advice on buying TX200

[palonej]

Hey Paul!! I didn't know the spring broke when I sent it to Scott!! I sent it to him for guides and a trigger tune!! Believe it or not it shot great with the broken spring!!
Scott had a new OEM spring on hand and I didn't want to wait for a kit.
This rifle has performed flawlessly!!
FPS has dropped from 890 with FTTs to 840, but it's still extremely accurate!!

  Black chrome is a spot on  description of the bluing on my TX MKlll rifle.

  Much like the Python reference, comparing mine to a Winchester Safari Express rifle bought straight from their Custom Shop, the bluing on the TX looks to be every bit the equal of what the masterminds at Winchester could produce.

  Mine was also one of those TX200s that ran like a Swiss watch straight out of the box.
I don't have near the shot count that others have on theirs, but I am totally tickled with it.


  Of course there is a certain contingent of concerned forum members that have tried to convince me that my rifle needs to be tuned for me to play for real.....   
  You will meet them shortly, they will also convince you that you need many more rifles, Leupold scopes, more better pellets, and other assorted tid bits that you never even realized that you couldn't live without!!!   

  They are simply ENABLING you to have more fun shooting, and they have the best of intentions.....   at least I think that they do..... 
  I may have been tricked.

  Who you calling enabler. I always say shoot until something needs fixing, just clean lube and shoot then make essential changes that you deem needed. Scopes are for us old farts that cannot see 10 yards without a telescope like the sidewinder on the Pro Sport I never Knew I needed until I joined this forum

  I fell victim to AirArms hypnosis soon after joining here myself.

  I wanted to play with the cool kids!

I have been known to break the seal on many new guns and as an old far I have to have good glass over iron.
Many great guns out there that go untouched for ever and shoot just fine.
Just can't help myself.lol

Lol, I'm fully prepared (and looking forward to) a full clean & lube tune the day it arrives.  I plan on installing either the JM or Vortek kit unless I get one that's smooth and comfortable already.
Glass...that's another mountain to climb.  I'm going to be funding this with the sale of 2 rimfires, but after they're gone the others in my safe are off-limits.
Maybe.
Thanks again, everyone.  Any and all advice is sincerely appreciated.
