    Scope mount - one vs. two piece for TX200?

    I ended up machining the rear ring clamp slightly to give a bit more clearance for the adjuster wheel.

    Scope mount - one vs. two piece for TX200?

    Moog, thanks for the reply. I am hankering for a HW97K next! As you likely know, the BKL Model 360 one piece doesn't have a stop pin. However it also doesn't have a loose clamp for the dovetail attachment. It is one piece of billet dovetail and you have to use jack screws to flex it open...

    Scope mount - one vs. two piece for TX200?

    I ended up going with a BKL Model 360 one piece . Scope and mount were delivered yesterday. The scope fits in the mount as expected. The 3" diameter side wheel is a tight fit but clears. I may put the mount in the milling machine and touch off the corners of the rings on the wheel side for...

    Is TopAirGun.com a drop shipper or worse?

    Scope mount - one vs. two piece for TX200?

    I believe I have landed on a buying a Hawke 4-16 x 44 Airmax 30 for my soon to be received TX200. Aesthetically I prefer a two piece mount. Would it be a mistake to use a two piece mount? I believe this set has a stop pin.

    Scope for my new Air Arms TX200?

    I have ordered a new Air Arms TX200 MKIII .177 from Mike Melick. He will get it tuned a bit and to me soon. So I am now trying to decide what scope and mount type to put on it. Form factor is important to me on this beauty. I do not want to encumber the loading port with a long scope. I...

    Tuning Which diameter Red Dot for Diana LP8?

    I am trying to make a decision on a Red Dot for my LP8. I have my eye on Hawke Sport Optics Vantage and they come in 20, 25 or 30 mm tube diameters. I am leaning toward the 25 mm. Recommendations on tube diameter to choose would be appreciated.
