I’ve owned the TX200 MkIII in .22 since 2010 and during this time I’ve fired at least 800 pellets a month. I love the quality, the accuracy and the enjoyment that shooting it brings me. It’s a pleasure knowing that if I do my part the TX200 will deliver every time. In 2012 I was in Pueblo, Colorado and the only place to shoot legally was at an indoor range. When I asked if the range was open to air rifles, the man replied with a grin; “you mean a pellet gun?” So, every Wednesday night between 7 and 9 you could find me and my TX200 at the range. During this time other shooters took notice and they commented on the quality and accuracy of the TX200. Then, one of the range masters looked at the TX200 and said; “That’s not a pellet gun, it’s an air rifle.” Until 2012, I did all of my shooting in the fields of Lexington, Tennessee. I set up dove and duck decoys, spinners, walking targets and bottles at 25yds, 35yds, 50yds, and 75yds. Although, some of these targets presented a challenge for me, the TX200 handled them with ease. When my neighbor’s lawn was assaulted by an armadillo, he came to me and asked if I could solve the problem with my air rifle. Two months later the opportunity presented itself and I dispatched the armadillo with a head shot at just under 20yds. Since 2011 I’ve dispatched Chipmunk (60+), Grey Fox (1), Groundhog (1), Possum (1), Porcupine (1), Prairie Dog (25+), Raccoon (1), Rabbit (10+), Rat (25+), Skunk (12+), Squirrel (30+), Turkey (1), and a plethora of birds. All this was done with head shots using the H&N Baracuda Green Pellets. I’ve developed reasonable expectations and a good understanding of the limitations of my TX200. The .22 has provided me with the opportunity to take larger quarry such as the Fox, porcupine and raccoon with confidence. A lot of people will disagree with me, but .22 is the smallest caliber I use for hunting.
