si brown 8,486 Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 not been able to test the 97k in .177 till an hour ago cos the neighbour has had the grandkids out in the garden! I did a few bits to it last night and fitted the vortek kit! this is the first test with a scope on... did a full-blown barrel clean last night as it was gunked up! no leading in bar a few aa field last night setting the power! cheap Hawke vantage mil dot scope £85 worth every penny and jsb heavy .52's first 6 shots zeroing 10 in the top shoot n see 4 clicks left and ten I the centre and picked the numbers off! well happy, I can't shoot a pcp any better only gripe I've got is I can't find a 7mm key to sort the baffle out cos the spring is twanging a bit! atb si 3 Quote Link to post

Jonjon79 13,321 Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Very nice Si I ditched my 97 today Why ? I just felt like I couldn't gel with it mate It was a nice rifle and, I tried everything with it - sporter stock, standard thumb hole, custom stock, trigger adjustment, standard internals, sleeving, drop in kit, short stroking, different power levels, different zeroes, different pellets - despite putting in a lot of practice time with it, I just never felt confident enough to hunt with it. This'll be my 3rd TX - these seem to fit me perfectly 1 Quote Link to post

Yeah, best not mate - That user name suits him well I've gone for .177 in a walnut stock. ..... I've even managed to track down one of my favourite scopes for it - an original MTC Viper SCB. ...... it's been a good day 1 Quote Link to post

mark williams 7,549 Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Put some .177 JSB Exact Express through her Jon, the accuracy is jaw dropping. Lovely rifle the TX atb Mark. 2 Quote Link to post
The one 8,382 Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Very nice and there's nothing wrong with cheap Hawke scopes they do the job Quote Link to post

I've got a few tins of FAPs here, I reckon they'll work a treat I can't wait to get this TX sorted and get out with it - I never managed to feel like that about the 97. I can't knock the 97s though - I had a very quick go on Si's .22 - he's got that shooting very sweet. 1 Quote Link to post
