I had a TX 200 Mk1 that needed exactly 50 shots to get back to zero after sitting. I had a B&L 4200 on it that is still around and always tracks perfect. Never figured out why and ultimately traded it off. It was extraordinarily accurate once it settled.
My BSA Superstar and Walther LGU are...
My personal use is probably more 20 cal than anything in past year or so for reasons @Franklink and I have detailed. Prior to that it was mostly MRD's in 22 for the long range comps. The longest GOOD shots I've made have been with the 2018 vintage MRD's at just short of 300 yards... those were...
I've competed in FT Open class since 1991 when we first started up Phoenix Airgunners... now defunct... but joined the Airgunners of Az also not long after it started. Been to a few Nationals and a couple of Worlds here in the US but have not shot the WFTF class. Shot 10M pistol and a little 10M...
My TX ALWAYS shot low right after sitting any time till I put 50 shots down range. 45 shots wouldn't do it. Never determined why and finally traded it. It was quite accurate. The transition from off to on was sudden though... never a slow movement. I've heard many similar stories and really...
Our Red Wolfs are 1 in 17.7 poly's and in 2018, 2019 were pretty amazing. I was even able to tag a 3" x 7" metal plate at 289 yds with regularity in that era. JSB changed something in the balance and now on my own 208 yd range, there are HUGE fliers a couple out of 10 plus overall, not as...
Congratulations to Barbara ! 👊
What Pesty didn't mention... she was also HIGH SCORE of all classes... the only one to break into the 90 percentile !
GREAT shooting and looked good doing it with her little red 👻 !!!

Thanks @Franklink...
As he mentioned, I chopped nothing. Can go back to 22 Standard by replacing valve, hammer, probe , and transfer port with originals. No frame or shroud mods for this reason.
Such a GREAT rifle.
As I mentioned in the above post, Tom would LIKE to make a 177 for us but he...
I'm fortunate or you could say that I've created my own situation, by having set myself up over a long period of time to tinker in depth with airguns. Purchased machinery, barrels, materials, etc, and learned how to do it all over a bunch of years in preparation for retirement. I don't...
There's a LOT to like about the 177. In this rifle, there is no vibration and very little movement @ 20 ft lb plus it's pretty quiet and the ammo is cheaper. Plus, it's every bit as accurate within its comfy range. It's like comparing a 22 rimfire to a 300 WinMag. Why would you want a 22 rimfire...
A "little" project with some help from Tom (thanks much!) in the way of the new captive hammer/spring assembly and a probe for my P-EVOL project... a 177 comp pistol for AAFTA based pistol ft and EFT.
I'm still waiting on a new guage block as my early 1st gen one won't fit this new tube, but...
