Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Air Guns Air Arms Pro Sport

Thanks to the post by JJHack on his TX200, I traded my BSA R-10 MK2 .177 PCP for this AA Pro Sport set-up: Vortek kitted walnut Pro Sport in .177, Bushnell Legend 5-15X40AO Mil-Dot & Sportsmatch 1 piece mount.

The only chrony #s are for AA 8.4gr pellets and they are shooting @ 850 fps but the pellets I am shooting the most are 7.9gr Premiers from the box.

The first shooting session had me thinking I made a mistake, groups were more like "patterns". After two more days of shooting though I am now able to get decent groups and can consistently hit shotgun shells at 35yds, even the base of the shell laying on it's side.

I haven't given up PCPs as I have a Daystate Regal XL in .22 on the way but I must say plinking with a good spring piston is a lot more fun than with a "boring" PCP.

Without question one of the best looking most elegant air rifles ever made. If not for the little extra FPS I would have bought the pro sport too. The extra 50fps of the TX ended up being the decision maker.

I still think that under lever design is much nicer. Plus your stock is stunning!

Thanks!

I was actually trying to trade for a TX200 HC but when the PS was offered I couldn't pass it up.

I have a 8 year old TX200HC. It has been awesome. One thing I did early on was have it tuned, and 30 yard hole in hole shot have been the standard. If it is plinking, maybe not worry.... And FPS is important but the foot/pounds at impact is important too for stopping power :-)
