My new Air Arms TX200 in .22

[judorichard]

I decided to get back in to Air rifle shooting after 35 years. I bought an Air Arms TX200 in .22. The rifle arrived a couple of weeks ago and the scope and mounts last week. I've shot it three times now and I'm loving it. At first, I used some old Daisy pellets I had lying around but yesterday I got some new Gamo TS-22 pellets. I shot them and noticed an improvement. 10 shots at 25 yards with nine in the bull or close to it, with just one flyer that still landed in the 10 ring. I'm going to get some AA diablo field, JSB Exact Jumbo Express, JSB Exact Jumbo Diablo & some JSB Exact RS and try them out next.

The TX is an outstanding gun that will likely shoot better with the JSB pellets. Congrats on a fine choice.

I’m a sucker for polished blued steel and Walnut. That’s a dandy! Beautiful gun. Congratulations. Enjoy

Very nice! Mine likes the AA diablo both 8.4 and 10.3 grains.

Excellent gun to re-enter the hobby with. Congrats

Great choice, I have one also. Quality ammo will make a huge difference, you're headed in the right direction.
These guns are also the easiest to disassemble of any springer I have ever worked on. When it comes time for any maintenance or re-lubrication inside, you will thank yourself for buying one of the best!

Congrats! You should try on of those samplers provided by striaght shooters.

Same here. Just bought a TX200 in .22 and so far all is good. I also have a PCP (Avenger) so I'm used to shooting that and need to get used to hold sensitive guns again.
Noticed today, impossible to use a patch worm to clean barrel of TX200. Too curly and can't negotiate the shroud which is not meant to be removed on this gun. Any suggestions from you TX200 owners out there.

Thanks

I clean all my airguns (TX200 too) with a piece of monofilament fishing line. Open the action and feed the looped line from the muzzle until the loop comes into the breech. The put a patch in the line and pull it out the muzzle.

Very nice TX 200. I would suggest u try some .22 H&N FTT 14.6gr as my TX 200 shoots them well, head size 5.53. Now on sale at Midway for $8.00/ tin with free shipping.

Curious what kind of velocity the TX200 in .22cal will do ?

Pyramid Air has buy 3 get one free (yeah right free haha ) but you can mix or match and packaging is the best . usually fast also

Straight shooters is closing the doors. Not a lot left there.

 

[gbmarcht]

Will do, thanks

Great advice, these out performed JSB 18.13 and AA 18 at 50 yards today w some cross wind. I think this gun likes 16 gr pellets and especially these.

Take a drinking straw and insert it into the muzzle up to where the actual barrel starts and the patch worm can be put through. Might have to fiddle with it a bit till you learn exactly how to hold the straw but should be pretty easy to do.

I ended up just getting a Napier Pull- Thru through AOA, very easy to use on all my guns

You are getting tangled up in the shroud. Put a soda straw down the end of the shroud until you hit the barrel. Push the cleaning kit (Patchworm cleaning kits are awesome) through the straw. Remove straw and pull through. Rinse and repeat.

Oh yea! Get some of this stuff, it is german sorcery in a can. https://ballistol.com/

Id go to Walmart and grab a tin of cphp and piranhas. All they can do is work great or dont . If on the great side beats the heck out of mail order pellets + cost..lol.. you maybe surprised...

Looking good and enjoy..

very similar story with me, 30 years after for varied reasons, also bought a TX in .22 and amazed at quality and accuracy at this point.
