Decided at this time did not need another PCP with my focus on doing some Field Target events.
Walnuts nice, but Beech won over for a field target thrasher rifle while saving $80 too ( I know tight azz )

So a TX200 Mk-III in beech is headed this way

Topping it with this Hawke : https://www.pyramydair.com/product/hawke-optics-2-5-10x44-ao-varmint-rifle-scope-1-2-mil-dot-reticle-1-4?a=4430

Like the idea of 10X max so you can just crank it up and be ranging Mil-dot at 100%
10 to 12X is in field use so close figured it the more practical also having a better field of view at 2.5x .... and it was fairly light weight too

Hope my decision pans out ? .... Now the wait

LMBO!

Here's a couple pic's of when she had a 4-16x50 SF Hawke. May be a little closer to what yours will look like.

Scott, I KNEW you were going to spoil yourself with a TX200 of your own.

. I even told nikoman that in a pm a few days ago you'd want one after seeing his crazy 55 yard group. That TX200 will come in handy in a springer showdown vs your son's hw97 and for some serious piston class bench rest competition in Ione. Nice choice of scope. It should compliment the tx well.

Congrats and get ready to be impressed.

Congrats!

Everything about the them is top notch. I find myself picking up the TX every time I walk by the rifle rack. Even if it's just to look at it.

Money well spent.

A few years ago I was looking for an exotic air rifle, just going through my options and someone I knew offered me a TX200 at a reasonable price too, but why I didn't take it escapes me at the moment. Possibly a mistake at the time, I'll never know. I wound up buying an English Webley Patriot .25 shortly after,, a mistake - NO, never. This was the exotic cannon I was always after, even if I didn't know it at the time. I have often thought about buying a TX200 since but have never even set eyes upon one in the flesh.

I have however, set eyes on a Diana 470 TH and have felt the need to own one ever since. I pick mine up tomorrow after debating over it for the past week or so. I hope you enjoy your new TX200 like I know I'm going to enjoy my new toy...

Congrats...

Scott you won't be sorry. I love my German guns, but the TX is a big step up.

If you are planning on shooting FT your best bet with a 10x scope is to shoot hunter class. The TX shoots well off of a bipod if you have a soft cushioned head. Good luck. It will improve your PCP shooting because it will not tolerate poor trigger work (not that yours is poor) and requires perfect execution for every shot.

I am waiting for my first PCP, a TM 1000 but still plan on the bulk of my practice using my TX and PS because they reinforce good shooting habits.

By the way, these guns are capable of amazing accuracy.

Scott, isn't it terrible to have to wait? Almost as bad as in the Waiting Area of the Delivery Room, when you didn't want to know beforehand!

Oh my, will it be pretty? Maybe all wrinkled up and oily? Do I have to put out a round after Church? Shoot, the guys at the corner Bar will get one for sure.

Do you have pink walls in your gun cabinet, or baby blue walls?

Upps, he probably has baby blue balls, errr walls by now!

Be careful though, that Miss Diana 75 and Escorts don't get forgotten.

Nikoman · « **Reply #18 on:** February 19, 2013, 03:29:23 PM »

Robert, I made the mistake of painting the walls blue in the gun safe and the rifle ended up being a girl!

Hahahahha... I wonder why...

Of course, I haven't owned both of them "yet" which means I haven't had the chance to compare the two side-by-side so I can't give an opinion - "yet"... I just noticed though that the TX200 is also selling at the same place I'm going to pick the 470TH up from, and it's much cheaper. NO, I am not going change my mind, but, the TX may well be the next on the list. Maybe in a few months or so...

This place is contagious..!!
