I asked if they had seen 15k shots on a full power model. I never got a an answer on that.
I'm 100% team Air Arms. The deeper rebuild cost 200 dollars total. A new rifle is between 800 and 1500 depending on what you get. I am just amazed at the ease of rebuilding. I am amazed at the accuracy. The farmers I shoot for expect me to put up some big numbers on chucks. The TX200 does that when the pups come out. I at 215 chucks this year. The season is about over.
I want to make a shout out to Garmin. I picked up a Xero Chronograph this year. I really didn't like my Oehler 35 from the 90's. It was hard to set up had to work.
The Garmin is a outstanding chronograph. Some of my work this spring on my rifle was at night. I was able to chronograph it even at night. And talk about easy to use. For a regular rifle hunter that never shoots past 300 yards. A chronograph is not worth owning. But if you have an air rifle and want to keep it at max power, you have to have a chronograph.
