Started looking at a R9 Double Gold .177 with a Bushnell scope,but the only only one I can find has a Beeman scope(I think Chinese made).Thought of getting a regular R9 and get a Hawks Air Max 4-12x40 and muzzle break. I also looked at a Tomahawk,but he said the one he had did'nt have an adjustable trigger and it was set around 4lbs.I want a lighter trigger than that. Now I found some used air rifles,an Air Arms TX200 MK3 .177 for $495.00 and a Beeman RX2 .177 for $469.00.I'm itchin so bad to get an air rifle now and just totally confused on what to get. I'm sure all the above would shoot very good for what I'd be doing,just plinking mostly.   Posted: Tue Dec 02, 2008 9:54 am cw Banned Joined: 10 Feb 2008 Posts: 1771 You can't go wrong with the Last edited by cw on Fri Jan 23, 2009 9:14 pm; edited 1 time in total   Posted: Tue Dec 02, 2008 12:41 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands I second that. That Air Arms is one of the better rifles money van buy, ask Al. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Tue Dec 02, 2008 1:06 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" broommaster2000 wrote: ...ask Al.

But if you like to tinker, why not get a cheap R9 and put in a JM kit and seal? Then you will have a great shooter that you can also take pride in knowing YOU brought it up to that level! And the Hawke is a great scope, got the smaller one on my R7. _________________ There are no accidents; only ignorance, mechanical failure, and acts of God!

It sould be "still done aint bought a rifle".   Posted: Mon Dec 08, 2008 12:35 pm Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND If your going for a springer you can’t do better than a TX. I’ve shot an RX2 and there is no comparison also the Beeman was fitted with a gas ram but it still kicked.

Well Alstone,too late.I know weight is important when shootin a magnum,and I thought of gettin a TX200,but I looked at the weight and it seemed alittle heavy for me.   Posted: Mon Dec 08, 2008 3:13 pm Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND Yes it is heavy over 9lb with scope, but it does stablise it. Anyway good luck with the R9.
