New TX200

[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..

Well, You are all set.
The current Hunter Field Target Champion (last year at Phoenix) is motorhead, here on the GTA.
Shoot your TX awhile and then when you are ready to really make it shine, send it to him.
He will smooth everything out for you.
There are many here on the GTA that can confirm my comments.

BTW...My son lives nearby to you...in Mesa.
He is a physician’s assistant there and does double duty at the VA clinic in Tucson from time to time.
He shoots indoor 10M air rifle and air pistol at the club north of Mesa.

He is Grand Master in practical pistol and 3-gun and for fun he shoots his tactical rifles at a measured mile.

I am sure you will run into him, if you haven’t already.

Of course you know about Airguns of Arizona in Glendale.

They are good people.

Shoot safe..

I had Motörhead tune an HW 95 for me last year. Great job.
My wife is an RN and runs a Hospice Company in Mesa.
   I know all about AOA and have spent WAY too much money there.  LMBO

Your TX200 should do fine in FT.

My primary HFT rifle is my TX200. I have manage to take 2nd place twice and 3rd place twice at my local air gun club against a field of high end PCPs.

I have mine tuned to shoot at 13.5 fpe, I found that JSB 10.3gr pellets seem to work best in mine, but every TX200 is a little different.

Congratulations on the TX200.  My rifle prefers that pellet and head diameter, too.

Good shooting,
Bob
