TX200, impressions after 100 shots

[1BadDart]

After supper today I ran a few rounds through the rifle, two groups with the 10.65's and two with the 8.64. The 10.65's look good on the chrono but show vertical stringing on the target.

I won't be able to shoot it tomorrow, I need to practice in the AM for a fun rimfire benchrest match tomorrow night. Then I have to pick up some equipment and tractor I've bought.

Those groups are not where I'd like them to be at this point. Obviously your scope is solid and the screws are tight???

Yes.

BadDart might be a dumb suggestion but if you are shooting off the stand in the above photo try resting the back of you hand on a rolled up towel or something similar and rest the forearm of the stock in the palm of your hand. I once had a rifle that would string when the forearm of the stock was rested on anything but the palm of my hand.

I've shot it off the set up in the photo and off a Bull bag, planning on trying some different set ups. It has almost 500 pellets through it so it should be settled in, now I just need to figure out what she likes.



Thanks, Justin

Is there any performance difference between the Beech vs Walnut stock on the TX200? I'm not sure I can justify the extra $100+ for the Walnut

Just a recomendation here, when you testing different pellets...never shoot for record one pellet then follow up with another.....in other words, shoot a oarticular pellet for a little while, I always used at least 10 pellets of a particular tin, then shot my 5 shot test group. When switchingbto another pellet, shoot at least 10 then shot your 5 shot group for record and so on.....Especially with springers, I found the gun needs a few shots to settle in to a particular type/style of pellet so initial shots might be a little erratic. Most folks I have coached over the years find that 10 or so warm up shots each time they try a different pellet helps the overall quality of the groups shot for record. Just a thought here that might help you get on with your new rifle.......
