I know that you're right and that, all in all, I'lll have a smoother shot cycle should I do that, well OK. then, I 'll decied bon which spring to order and vget 'rt done. Orv

1) if the pin can easily be removed, I use my reverse drill bits to remove it. Unfortunately, my skills are such that the pins are often damaged or or broken off in the ring. My first pin snapped off in the scope rail and my drill was unable to be extracted. 2) the first pin ovaled the pin...

I'm not sure how this application with my scope riding over the back of the rail and the safety release being right there as well. I guess that I'm just not quite seeing the picture here. Orv.

Dan . . . as a retired old man, I have a bit more time to enjoy time on the range shooting than a young working guy like you. I'm really most fortunate to have a well designed Bench Rest/Field Target range in our seniors resort just five minutes away by golf cart. To answer your question, I...

I really appreciate your answer. Your comment about the Hawke mounts using a set screw intrigues me. Do you think that the Hawke system is superior to that of Sportsmatch? Sportsmatch has a great reputation and is what Pyramyd and AoA has recommended in the past, so I've simply gone along. The...

Tell me how this works, please, Orv.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, my Hawke scope work as its a 30mm tube. I have a one piece scope mount that I've tried, but it wasn't able to fit. Thanks again, Orv.

Tony: my TX200, .22 cal., with it's Vortek PG4 tune hits in the area of 15 fpe., varied a bit by which pellet is being shot at the time over the chronograph. By the way, I'd sure enjoy watching you and your favorite blonde competiting one day over there in the desert. Might even try getting...

First of all Dan, I'm using the pins included with my Sportsmatch Rings. These are a premium brand as far as I know. They are high rings because the Hawke scope I'm using is 30mm and relatively long. I could go into my ritual of tightening everything down before shooting but I'll refrain in...

As much as I love my TX200, It broke again this afternoon. Well, not the rifle itself exactly, but the scope stop pin sheared off. I use Sportsmatch scope rings with the pre-installed stop pin (from AoA). This is the 2nd time in the 6 years I've been shooting my TX200 that its severed this pin...

I too joined the ASA using my orvhazelton@gmail.com email address. I didn't realize that this would cause more difficulty for you, Steve. I apologize. I would appreciate recieving the benefit of those HAM points. I wonder how many of us, such as myself, would probably not have elected to...

I'll chime in here with a bit of my experience shooting my .22 cal TX200. I started out experimenting with a plethora of pellets. I'll leave out the bad and even the mediocre pellets and just share the ones my TX shoots well: JSB 15.86 gr., Benjamin Single Die 14.3 gr., and lastly, Air Arms 16...

Those were the days my friend. Orv.

That's a great idea . . . Thanks. Orv.

CHIEF: When I was a mere E-3 Corpsman aboard my first ship back in 1966, my trusted Chief sent me to the supply Chief for a pair of falopian tubes. He said I needed to get them from the Ship's Office, and so on. Ya, ya, I was just a dumb 18 year old Corpsmaan. What did I know? By February...

I thoroughly applaud Pirate Shipping. Their prices and service is the best I've found over these past six years. I simply prepare my package, print my label and put it out for UPS to pick up. Typically I've been able to use the packaging materials from previously recieved airguns, but now I've...

When they do make one of those "super magnum" springers with a Ford spring, I will finally give up on trying to cock one. I hope to be shooting right right along side 'ja on my 86th birthday. Orv.

When one of my Hawke scopes failed earlier this year, they had a replacement on it’s way within days of recieving my broken scope. As mine was nearly six years old and out of production, an upgraded scope was sent. Hawke. . . what a great company to work with. Orv.

Oh yes! Still, at 78 years of age, I 'm still cocking my 3 springers:: TX200, HW97K, and finally, my HW50s. I shot my HW97K for 2 hours this afternoon without throwing any joints out of place. Be patient, enjoy your shooting and the act of cocking a 9 pound spring-piston rifle will fall into...

Sorry Steve, but it stands out like a sore thumb, or trigger finger. Orv.
