K so thanks to all of your advice I ordered the TX200 mk3. It should be here tomorrow when I get in from work. This will be my first spring gun. Any advice to help me shooting it will be appreciated. I have been shooting a air arms s500 and love it. Last month killed 143 sparrows. What can I expect in accuracy compared to shooting the pcp.

Mine love Air Arms 16 grain pellet. One of the best spring rifles you can get. I love mine. Is yours .177 or .22? No pictures or it didn't happen.

Just sayin

I shot a tuned .177 TX200 a few weeks ago. Beautiful wood work. Shooting it was a dream. Solid thud and very accurate. Good luck with it..

mine is 22, same as my s500. I have heard that you have to learn to shoot a springer. I am going to put a ultradot on it till I can save my pennies and buy a good scope. I have been shooting all my life , used to shoot pistols competitions till got bad eyes. Bought s500 to shoot sparrows and starlings and fell in love with shooting airguns. I guess I caught the fever and sold my 22 pistol and rifle to buy the tx200. I have always liked shooting for point. I sure hope it is accurate. Bought it to take to country to shoot snakes, turtles and vermin, but if it turns out to be accurate enough I might just slap a hawke with the sr pro reticle on it. Tomorrow is going to be a realllly long day!

Once you pick it up, it's hard to put down. Mine is 177 and it loves JSB 8.44 with a 4.52 head. FTT 8.64 with a 4.52 head works almost as well. Put a Vortek #14 kit in it last year. It's shooting at 13 Fpe, very nice shot cycle. Congrats on the new gun.

your gona love it. Take your time and work out your hold and pellet. I installed a Vortek kit in my .177 and wow its is so smooth. I had mine out for a few shots after work tonight. It was a good night I got bored with shooting groups so I started punching out the Small target numbers on the target rings at 30 yards with ease. Every one that see it loves the deep bluing and stock they are a dream to shoot and look at. Dont freak out when the little rubber bumper falls out that keeps the lever from hitting the bottom of the shroud. Ask any TX owner and they will tell you about that "dang" thing. I replaced mine with some O rings on the leaver and never looked back. My bumper fell off the same day I got my rifle and the dog ate it. Congrats and cant wait to see the pictures.

My bumper never did fall off, if it did I lost it.

I did get a cocking assist.

Took my bumper 2 days. Same O-ring fix.

My bumper has yet to fall off but put the o-rings on so now I have both. Just buy #8 or #9 o-rings, either will work. I have only had mine a couple weeks. Beautiful rifle.

Congrats on your TX, keep us posted after you get it!
And remember...... No Pics = Didn't Happen

btw, The bumper is still on my TX (going on 2yrs in a few months).

The TX 200 MK III .,22 is accurate and definitely strong enough to put some decent glass Hawke Eclipse should fill the bill nicely. The new Endurance 4x16x50 can be had for $250 + shipping PM me for the vendor info . The endurance 30 replaces the Eclipse in the hawke line up

5:00 am... headed to work now. FedEx better not let me down. This is already starting o be a long day.

You'll be psyched! I've had lots of fun learning to shoot springers.

The learning curve is not very much when it comes to the TX200. You will think you are in heaven.

I also sold my .22 pistol and rifle to buy my TX. Both powderburners were heavily customized and incredible shooters.
Couldn't be happier with my decision.

s500 · « **Reply #15 on:** August 07, 2014, 07:09:29 AM »

I am happy with my decision to sell 22's to get the tx200. I had won a lot of matches with them, but it is hard to get ammo and it is also expensive. Moving on to the tx200. FedEx did not arrive till 7:00 pm. I was able to slap ultra dot on and get in about 10 shots. It will definitely be different from shooting the pcp. I think I am going to really like it. However I now remember why I quit shooting the pistol competitions. ..... I cant see well enough, haha. Even at 15 yds I can barely align dot with black 9 ring. I love the balance of the gun though and think it would exelent with dot sight for quick shots if a person has good eyesight. I guess I am just going to have to start saving my pennies to get a scope. Next few days are going to be pretty busy so will try to get pic and post more when I get to shoot some more. Thanks for everyones help on my decision to buy this rifle.

I love my TX200MK3, I also drive through Centerville/Madisonville almost weekly.

Enjoy the journey!!
My favorite part of acquiring a new springer is learning her personality!!
I have a few really sweet springers....the TX is the easiest to shoot well! Very forgiving, not pellet or hold fussy, insanely accurate.....and super sexy!!
Had a couple hours free yesterday and shot this 7 shot group from 30 yards off a front bag.
She does this more often than not!!
You're gonna love it!!

That is not the gun, it is Joe. He is the GTA ringer.
