Received a new Rifle - Air Arms TX-200 .177 to replace the borrowed tree rat rifle I had been using.
I need to scope it with something of equal quality and strength. I temporally mounted an older unused Bushnell 1.75 - 6 X scope I had in the mounts I bought from Pyramyd Air. The mounts are the strongest ones ( according to them) available for this rifle, and I am sure they are.
I have about 50-60 shots through the rifle and it is sighted in and the group size has coalesced from the first few shots which were a bit wild to keeping all on a one inch black paster dot used for an aim point. Shooting done prone at 25 yards.
I think I am detecting a bit of an impact creep downward. Maybe the scope is not holding up or maybe the scope is not holding in the mounts. All screws are tight but not overly tight. As of yet, I can not see any movement shift of the scope in the mounts. Nor is anything rattling.
I will just keep shooting and get a little more experience with it and then maybe consider a "springer" rated scope.
