You won't even need to tune that thing right away, it has a very sweet shot cycle out of the box. I'd break it in a bit and then send it over to Scott for a tune.

With the way Joe breaks rifles in, it should only take about 5 days!

5 days?

If I'm slacking!!!

Great pic!

Thanks, Larry!
Mark and I went HOSP hunting yesterday, hehe

One air rifle per guy was not enough! As you can see the bucket makes a great rest for other loaded rifle to pick up for quick follow up shots. There are many pests at times and sniping those little boogerheads from 50-60 yards out is the only way to get them without scaring them off. Pretty soon the leaves will be off the trees and then it's GAME ON.
Mark snapped this pic on his phone for the GTA, he thought it was appropriate to get the pair of AA's for the British Bombshell thread.

Never mind the dude in the pic, I'm no bombeshell

Just in case ya missed it.....THIS MATCH!!!

Nikoman · « **Reply #208 on:** October 12, 2013, 04:56:59 PM »

Did I tell you how nice the TX and Pro Sport look together?

palonej · « **Reply #209 on:** October 12, 2013, 05:03:46 PM »

Oh my God!!!!! They are absolutely 2 of the sexiest rifles I've seen Niko!!! And I think my TX could use some English company.......she isn't too fond of the Fräuleins!!! I am pretty sure they have some bad history!!!

I'm amazed that you haven't won another pool tournament and had a Pro Sport delivered to Motor for a pre delivery tune job

I'm spending too much time with these darn BB guns and not practicing Don!!! Last 3 tournies I wound up just out of the money.....from 5th to 7th......almost as bad as kissing your ugly cousin bro!!! Played last night got knocked out in 7th and then matched up in a money match. I made enough for a pellet order! Nerd to practice, but here I am again slinging lead!!! Ugh

You know the old saying Jack of all trades Master of none "there you go" You can either light matches at 25 yards or 3 cushins and in but not both at the same time

Nikoman · « **Reply #213 on:** October 13, 2013, 03:24:03 PM »

The Air Arms Pro Sport (.177).
Mark's a Lefty so you get a nice view of the gun from the cheek piece side.

And yes, those are chickens you hear in the background.

To all the TX200 owners, keep a close ear on the cocking (how quiet it is) especially when the lever gets returned to the forearm. It's silent.

palonej · « **Reply #214 on:** October 13, 2013, 05:31:40 PM »

Awesome looking shooter!!!! The gun is pretty cool too!!!

That is just gorgeous Niko!!! Very quiet too!! When listening to cocking action you're reminded of the sound of solid engineering!! Just a nice tight "scrunch"!!!
Thanks for the vid bro......now I really NEED one!!!

Nikoman · « **Reply #215 on:** October 13, 2013, 06:31:05 PM »

Joe, that video was for you.
Just to help enable you a bit to keep that MkIII some company.

Now that this thread has a sticky, it'll be quicker for you to post your new Pro Sport as soon as you get it!

The quiet part in the video where I was comparing it to the TX was that there's no click at the end since there's no part to snap into. This is by no means a slam to the TX, you can hold down the anti bear trap button release to get silent cocking like the PS but it's that final little click that gets me in the field sometimes (it has scared birds away).

Forgot to mention, some of the internals are shared between the TX200 and the Pro Sport. One of several things I noticed about the Pro Sport that differs is that the piston is buttoned:

Hey, Nikoman, shouldn't that read compression tube not piston? Beautiful walnut stock on your PS by the way.

Must post a pic of my TX200.

You are correct, 10-ring.
