GREENGRASS Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Has anyone got one of these rifles or used one. Have seen them on the net for £100.00 they are a 22 under lever. Will be shooting rats and rabbits at about 30 x 35 yards. Any feedback appreciated. Regards GG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whippet.22 Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Sounds Chinese made, steer well clear of it. You can pick up much better than that for an extra 25 notes new, or secondhand at the same price. Buy 'owt ****** made and you'll regret it, trust me they're terrible, even the 'upmarket' chinese guns are a crappy false economy. You get far better value and quality for your money when you buy a decent British made springer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatingisbest Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 (edited) dont do it!!!! I have heard they are a pile of ****! I got myself a BSA Supersport Carbine with a 3-9x40 and gas ram and gun bag, a couple of weeks ago for £115 (secondhand) i have already had 4 rabbits with it!

Lord Geordie Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Green Grass The general concensous on the TX200 copies are they are OKish after spending quite an amount of time stripping them of the packing grease cleaning the surface rust etc off. They are not that rated by people who own them even for the pittance they pay. Prices vary from around £70 to £100 dep on where you get it. As with ALL guns when you get them put it over a Chrono (£45) so no real excuse NOT to own one. Anything less than 10FPE I would be personally talking a Max distance of 25 yards humanely on rabbits pref closer if poss. Also before going shooting get to know your gun and it's characteristics. Learn how to shoot straight with it first and make sure your guns groupings are tight enough to stay in the KZ If it aint accurate then don't use it for hunting. IF your new to airgunning i would personally recomend a PCP ( Air Arms / Webley / Brocock ) all have guns in the £250 range and ANYBODY can hit a target with these but Springers can be a whole different kettle of fish as they have a lively side to them PCP has no recoil where as Springers (depending on design) Can have recoil and it takes time to learn which stance is best to shoot with etc. Here is a Review i found and it aint very pretty Review LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
