: onechuck June 08, 2009, 07:52:10 PM
Like new condition MM B-40 for sale in .22 caliber.  Need to make room for new toys! Gun is like new and a very smooth shooter.  I chronographed her at 670 fps with 16 gr. Predators, and 720 fps with Superdomes.  Not even broken in with less than one tin of pellets through this beauty. Paid $300, asking $250 shipped insured to the 48. I can email pics if interested. This gun is 100% mint. Payment by Paypal or USPMO. Will consider trade for RWS Diana 350 Feuerkraft .22 in like new condition.

I will consider a trade for a RWS Diana 350 Feuerkraft .22 in like new condition.  Any takers?

Since no inquiries, I will also consider a trade for a turbo tuned B-30, or RWS 48, 52 in .22 cal.  If you have something else along these lines I may be interested in, shoot me a PM or post.

Looks like a great rifle and a good price.

Can you shoot a couple groups at 20 yards and post the pics?

The gun has been prepared for shipping, thus the scope has been removed as you can see in the posted pictures.

I see here that you own a TF-89  in 22.
I am seriously considering to buy this airgunsoon and would greatly appreciate any inside information you can share.
Thanks a bunch,
 Ivan

Hello ibud,  I can honestly say that of all the airguns I have owned, I feel the TF-89 is a steal for the money.  I have now tuned 2 of them, and they can be very impressive. I have chronographed my personal 89 with these results.
 
RWS super H-points- 760-780's
Benji Discovery domed H-points 809  ( impressive for a 14.3 gr. pellet)
Beeman crow mags- 750-760 fps (these pellets shoot faster for their weight than any other comparable pellet I have used)
Polymag Predators- 740-750 16 gr. pellet

Just yesterday, I was shooting drinking water bottles at 60 yards with open sights very consistently with complete penetration using the Ben. Disco. pellets.
If I can help with any other questions, feel free to ask.  I do have a Chrony Alpha, and will be willing to test my guns with any pellets you guys would like to see perform. The trigger on the TF-89 is nice with no modifications other than adjusting the stages and spring tension. Hopefully I have helped push you towards the Contender 89, as I feel you will not be disappointed. I have a dealer account with Compasseco, and for the cost they are the best thing out for a hard hitting hunter!
Take care,
Mike

Mike,
thanks for the prompt and to the point reply. For a while there, I felt like I got hooked on pretty gun and wanted to hear only the positive on the Contender.
After a week of search, I personally think judging from several reviews including Tom Gaylord's that it should be worth its price at Compasseco.
You most likely made my decision easier!
Thanks again,
Ivan
