New to me TX200 MKIII Arrived Today

[jkingrph]

I just got mine in a little while ago. Fed ex delivered it along with a Hawke sidewinder 6.5-20x44 scope. I got the scope mounted in a set of Sportsmax fully adjustable ring/mount and managed to get off about 3 or 4 shots at some soda cans before the wife called lunch, all good hits, no scope or mount adjustment. I will get some 10 meter targets out and see what it will do. I actually had a delay in working outside, as a rain shower happened by, guess that's what happens in a drought when you try to work on a new airgun outdoors.

I took liberty in enhancing your picture. It is definitely a Walnut stock. And a beauty. I should have known right off because of the oil finish. I believe the Beech stock model 200’s are spray finished as Weihrauch’s are.View attachment 277639

LH TX200's are only available in walnut.

That looks like some rather plain grained walnut to me. The one I just got has quit a bit of crotch or burl grain in the buttstock. I have never seen or heard of any in airguns, but some of the old military rifles, Swedish Mausers and I have a Yugoslavic Mauser in Elm, which looks a lot like quarter sawed oak.

What scope is that? Looks ideal for a hunting rig.

I have only seen one other left handed TX200 and I did not purchase it. I did not make the same mistake twice!

Beautiful rifle. Scope looks like it was made for it.

The scope is an Optisan CP 3-12x32. Made for springers. Very bright and compact. Really good haptic feedback on the dials with "CLICK"

Thank you. Good to know. Being a lefty and wanting a 200 makes it easier.

I waited several months for mine, IMHO it was worth it.

I now have Hawke Airmax scopes on all my guns, some 3-9x 40 and 4-12x 50 on my TX. Very happy with them so far.

Stock looks like mine, not glossy finish but more a semi-mat oil finish which I love. Good luck w yours.

Took her out yesterday and tried some pellets and some slugs. The 8.44's grouped OK, the 10.34 grouped meh but the real winner was the Baracuda Match. One ragged hole at 50 yards, german sorcery. I tried the JSB Knockout 10.03 .177's and they looked like a shotgun pattern.

Very twangy, it might be really dry. I need to watch a teardown video on the TX200. What is the "best" kit for the TX200?

used Lefty TX200 , DROOLING NOW

 

[bjagur]

Last week AoA put up a used lefty walnut TX200 MKIII for a decent price. Spoke with Jacob who looked it over, he called it a Safe Queen. Arrived today and she looks very clean, stock is nice. Got tomorrow off, going to mount a scope and see how she shoots!

She looks great!

Updates!!!

Just working some Tung oil into my new TX Walnut. 3rd coat. I will see how #4 goes. Very happy so far.
Fitted my Athlon Helos BTR Gen2 2-12 on her and, boy, what fun she is with the JSB 8.44 out to 50 and 70 yds hitting paper and steel. Silly accurate with these. The shot cycle and hold is so smooth.

Shes a beaut! Tx-200 in .177 my next springer purchase no doubt.

 

[maxtrouble]

I ended up having the 12 fpe Vortek kit installed in my rifle by Tom @ Vortek. She shoots like a dream now and is nearly HW30 easy to cock. Shot cycle is smooth like butter.

 

[Agent Skullet]

How does it shoot?
