smilersmiff Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Just thought I would say hello. I am new to the world of airguns but have quite alot of experience i shooting clays with a shotgun. I have the chance of buying a Air Arms TX200 MK1 complete with Simmonds scope of a mate who hasnt used it for a good many years, he wants £275 for it, is this a fair price ? Also any other members in Cornwall I live in St Austell and it would be good to make contact with like minded people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 What model of Simmons scope is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 A bit rich, I picked up an Air Arms Mark 1 last year with scope and bag for £160, it needed a service (not a problem if you have your own chrono). St Austell eh? Been at the Walter Hicks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Id say £200 tops but it does depend on the scope though. The Mk1 TX200 is a good gun but is a bit dated now to the latter models! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANGOF Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Hi, Seems a bit steep i would say the rifle itself would be worth around £200. Depends which simmons scope it is as some are very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANGOF Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Ahh if its a China model then its not worth very much. Id say try and get the rifle only for £200,then you can pick up a semi decent scope on here or other forums for £30 posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANGOF Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) Well done A fair price for a decent rifle. Maybe us Cornish lads should have a get together one morning. Ive got a lovely coastal permission Edited May 9, 2012 by ANGOF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smilersmiff Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Well done A fair price for a decent rifle. Maybe us Cornish lads should have a get together one morning. Ive got a lovely coastal permission Hi Angof Very pleased with the rifle it seems very accurate even with the cheapo scope, just started to play around with different pellets to see what it likes first of AA feilds and maybe Accupells. It would be great if we could all meet up one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANGOF Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 You should be pleased, The scope will be fine . Im a Weihrauch man myself but i expect that the TX will love AA Fields. They say if you can handle a springer you can shoot anything. Lots of practice for you now my main advice would be get to grips with freestanding shots as i find that most of my shots are taken that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant8681 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Right on, we are home now so pm me for my number. I am up for a walk around one day then off for a pasty and a pint for lunch i think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redruth is nice but the further west you go the better it gets in my opinion, glad you enjoyed your time down here, let me know if you intend to holiday again down here.

ANGOF Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Some views mate, lovely permission! Just sat down with a coffee and watched your vids, looking good dude! Cheers , Tis a great permission for early morning but the local syndicate are still lamping the hell out of it so never gonna pick up more than one or two of a morning. They also lamp my other local "Valley" permission but also have a 300 acre farm on The Lizard thats all mine , nice mix of grass fields and woodland.

Redruth is nice but the further west you go the better it gets in my opinion, glad you enjoyed your time down here, let me know if you intend to holiday again down here. I certainly will, I love to visit Cornwall, I have fished off Winnie the Pooh (Port Isaac - AKA Portwenn), also been Haddock bashing off Viking (Penzance), Nicky Norse skippered her then, damned good skipper, came back with some beautiful haddock, until you have had fresh haddock, under 6 hours old, you have not eaten Haddock, completely different flavour (like Mackerel, fresh is much much better than anything from a fishmonger)! Been to the Treasure park and all the other usual touristy bits, Carnglaze caverns, St Austell brewery (Walter Hicks, Walter Hicks, Walter Hicks, Walter Hicks, Walter Hicks, Walter Hicks damned fine rum)! We also like getting off the beaten track to find hidden delights, like the woman who makes butter and clotted cream at her farmhouse... I never knew that the Healeys (of sports car fame), were actually a family of Cornish apple farmers too! The wife was very impressed with that, she likes cider! We managed to time our last trip so mother was able to see The Gondoliers at the Minack theatre!
