TX200 ordered. Couple questions.

[02stampede]

I ordered a TX200 MK3 .177 in walnut yesterday. I can't wait to find out what all the fuss is after it arrives in a couple weeks. 

I was wondering what scope mounts you guys use? I plan on using a Hawke Sidewinder with a 42mm objective. Could I get away with medium UTG 2 piece rings? I have an extra set. Or, is there a single piece that is preferred? If I need to order some new rings I would like to have them before the rifle gets here.

Thanks in advance.

I like the way BKL rings keep the scope centered compared to rings that only tighten on one side.  I have used BKL rings on all my Hawke scopes with great results.

I will check out the BKL rings. Thanks.



Looks like I will have no problems with medium height rings.

the med will be very close posibly too close get the highs  your tx deserves to be treated like a lady,   she is going to treat you real good

Med. rings should be fine for that scope. I had high ring with a 50 with clearance to spare.

I myself perfer sportsmatch adjustable. Keeps your scope closer to optical center.

The one piece BKL mount is amazing, it will never slip and requires no stop pins.  If you are going to use a Hawke side focus  scope you will need to file a clearance slot in the mount under the turret body for a screw that will interfere.  Also, The .9" height is a bit  taller that necessary for a 42mm objective.  I believe the extra height is well worth rock solid grip of these mounts.

I have a TX200 MKIII in .177 too and I use the one piece scope mounts with zero problems. Once you get the hold down you can shoot very tight groups with the TX. I have taken birds out to a lasered 72 yards so far with mine. The metal and wood work is flawless to say the least.

Ill pitch my one piece sportmatch mounts against the bkl any day. they are sitting atop my tx, my hw97 and a fwb 124... no creep whatsoever...

Two piece BKL on my Air Arms..and yes your going to love your new rifle..guaranteed!!

The Walnut version is awesome..send pics after you get it set up and running.

Thanks for all the recommendations folks.

I now have some more research to do with all the input you guys gave. I will definitely post pics after she arrives. Thanks again.

Once for all I recommend you to use and single piece mount just and Sportmatch Dampa DM60 or a BKL one. As long as I know two pieces mounts are more indicated for PCPs and firearms, not for springers.
