Well after sitting next to you last month at Tom's I will leave my money in my pocket when shooting against you be it pool or AG's. The only exception would be PB's at 1,000 yards then the playing may be close to level

P. K so I have had a couple of days to shoot it a little. I haven't replied for a reason. I was getting really disappointed in it. To the point of sending it back and never buying another springer. Let me explain why. Everyone says that they are not pellet picky. My s500 shoots all pellets well, so I started out with the 15 grain jsb which is what I am using now in the pcp. Best groups was 3 inches! Decided it just needed to be shot some to slicken up the barrel. After 100 rounds no better. Tried 13,4 and got worse, 5-6 inch groups. Tried 14. something jsb, about the same. Decided it must be the ultra dot so ordered a scope from pyramidair, not in till next week. Today I decided to try the various pellets again and found some 18,1 jsb;s. All other pellets shot as before. Then I shot the 18.1 jsb pellets......wait for it! Five shots all touching at 30 yds. This does not seem to be the norm from what I have been reading about the tx200. I will try the other pellets when I get the scope mounted. Should I be concerned about this? I have about 300 rounds though it now. Oh bought the 4- 16 refurbished eclipse scope . Let me know your thoughts on this. My mind was made up that if it did not get better I was sending it back. Is this a sign of problems or is it just pellet picky?

My suggestion if you haven't cleaned the barrel yet do so then try medium weight .22 pellets but if at the end of the day that is what you rifle shoots best with enjoy the heavy hitting accuracy Mine likes 15 to 18 grain pellets and is truly not picky. The Eclipse is an awesome scope you should be very happy with that combo

Get more lead down the chute!!
If that is what the lady prefers........feed them to her!!
5 pellets touching at 30 yards is nothing to sneeze at!!
Her taste might change after a couple thousand rounds also.
My 97 in 177 would shoot NOTHING accurately besides JSB 10.3 for the first couple thousand....now she shoots FTTs, JSB 8.4 and 7.87 laser like....and doesn't like the heavies anymore!
Is it any wonder why we refer to our guns as she???

Hey, I thought we had a rule around here of "no pics, it didn't happen"...

No pics. If you are technologically challenged, just end mail your pics to Joe, that's what everyone does. Right Sparky?

Sorry about no pics guys. I have just been extremely busy last few days . I was extremely disappointed and frustrated also till found that it liked the 18 grainers.If I have time I will try to take pic this evening. Would like to try 30 yd target with dot sight just for kicks before putting scope on. Pulled a patch through barrel last night ,then took shot out window at 2" spinner about 45 yds , WHACK. I think I will keep her now.

I live in the Dallas area, if you would like I could possibly take a ride that way on Wednesday and bring a few guns you could shoot.

Gee thanks booger but during week is out of question for me due to job. Maybe on a weekend though. Or maybe this fall we could meet in Centerville and hunt some rabbits.

That sounds great, except for the hunting part. Walking more than 15 minutes can't be done on my part. I have a bone disease that prevents any extended walking.

I will put you in the bucket of the tractor and drive you around then. How about that.

Now that sounds fun, as long as you do not hit too many bumps.

OK you asked for it so here is a pic of tx200 with ultradot sight. And I included a few of my favorite targets shot at various distances. Just goes to show how easy I am to amuse . Targets are marbles, 3/8 inch ball bearings, golf balls, and wine corks. Aww "dang", I must be sick in the head.

Sfttailrdr46 · « **Reply #35 on:** August 11, 2014, 05:43:23 PM »

I use the small paint balls for targets at 25 yards in my backyard sorry that's all the space available since I am a prisoner of suburbia for another year

Smoketown · « **Reply #36 on:** August 11, 2014, 06:15:39 PM »

s500,

We're all sick in the head ... And easily amused.

It's just a matter of degree!

Fortunately, we have a most excellent means of coping.

Cheers,
Smoketown

Do not make the same mistake I made. Was shooting today and I just started shooting off. Adjust scope, then off again. I scratched my head, checked the screws, and realized I was so excited to shoot my new gun I did everything I was suppose to do except use loctite. I will loctite my rifle tonight because I am having too much fun shooting her today.

Please be careful shooting at golf balls, they will sometimes shoot the pellets back at you. I didn't get hit, but my house did, and it was behind me. I no longer shoot golf balls

. Beautiful rifle, BTW.

Nikoman · « **Reply #39 on:** August 12, 2014, 09:13:12 PM »

Yes, please do not shoot at golf balls. Pellets will ricochet and come back at you.
