Air Arms TX 200

Very cool! I have always wanted one. Congratulations! But of course you will need to post some good photos for us.

"All I can say is WOW." airgun's are a hoot eh?
The TX is a good rifle, user friendly and a pleasure to shoot, esp. after a good tune. Yup, really you can increase the firing "WOW" factor greatly over what the factory delivers, not that you need to and you should shoot a sleeve or two of pellet to get to know it but do try out some other folks tuned rigs.

Where's the picture? AA still have the fishscale woodwork?

I have had mine about a month now and absolutely love this rifle. I have a hard time believing that it could be a better rifle after a tuning. Mine is a bit heavy but I really don't mind, puts a round right thru any squirrel in my back yard and knocks the center out of all my targets at 30 yards with no "flyers". I shot a break barrel for years and a Gamo CFX and always went back to the underlever because of accuracy. The Air Arms in my opinion is top shelf. 

Todd, watch the Allen head screw at the front of the trigger guard, mine was shooting erratic and I thought at first it may be me, I picked the rifle up and felt something loose, I checked the screws and sure enough it was loose to the point of making the gun loose in the walnut stock. I'm going to lock tight it up, had to sight the rifle back in again because I made adjustments to the scope when the rifle was loose.

This is a common problem with springer actions especially. You are right, Lock tite works great.
I guess the thing to remember is; wood shrinks and metal doesn't. If the wood was made in a humid environment and shipped to Arizona or another arid place, it's going to shrink in the dry air. In winter the air is very dry and if we heat up the room with a fireplace, it's going to be really really dry in the house. 20 years ago I moved from Houston to Arizona, all my furniture, gun stocks and guitars dried up in a few weeks and needed attention.

Great rifles. I was at Camp Fussell one day and he brought his out. I fired one pellet to see how it would shoot and the recoil as most springers are sensitive to how you hold them. The TX was not! I then shot at a 3/8" bull at 30 yds. 3 shots all in one ragged hole off a Tack Driver bag!
Sold me...If I ever get a springer it will be a TX200 for sure. ... Still sticking with PCPs for now.
Good luck with your new rifle

I have a B40 which is a clone of the TX and found that another screw to do the locktite on is the one holding the piece the two stock screws thread into. Mine was loose and it caused me accuracy problems. I did blue locktite on all the screws. Just another thing about your rifle, the TX is about the easiest if not THE easiest spring piston rifle to take apart. You don't need a spring compressor.

I have yet to do it but I am definitely going to Locktite all the outside screws and reinstall. The last thing I want to do is have accuracy problems. I had that with my break barrel.....

http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Air_Arms_Stock_Bracket_TX/4074 This is the part that was loose on my B40. I have a question. Does your TX have a preference for heavy pellets? I notice my clone shoots the Barracuda better than FTT's.

Well I have only shot Crossman Domes so far in it, I want to purchase some JBS Diablo in different weights to see what it likes, I just have not got around to that part yet.
