: tech force 20
: pindog2000 December 08, 2009, 03:51:48 AM
I was on compasseco looking at the techforce 20 looks like a nice little shooter for young people comes in .177 cal and .22 cal for $49.99 wouldnt mind getting one for a little easy shooting but there out of stock ,matter of fact all they carry for now is the techforce 89,99,87 &(49 in .177 cal).

Just a TF-49 (same as Hammerli 490 Express) with a synthetic stock.
The -49 I got (from Archers, not Compasseco) was deplorable.  Roll pins were corroded completely through, and internals were actually wet (not oily, WET); the ONLY thing holding the end cap on was the fit of the receiver in the stock.
Even after cleaning up this mess, and replacing pins, the trigger is terrible, the automatic safety doesn't always work (it would be okay if it didn't go to SAFE on its own, but it doesn't always allow me to FIRE when I take it off SAFE).

Hopefully someone else has a happy-ending story about these.  Mine is more of a precautionary tale :)

Cliffton,  the Gamo Delta is a nice little shooter.   I have been messing around with one for the past 2 days.   A lot of fun for a young person learning to shoot.  Bought one for $40., how can you go wrong for $40?  I believe there was a coupon in store at Acadamy sports for it resulting in the low price.

: I agree with Bogey

The Gamo Delta is a great gun for the money!
Nice and "well-behaved" springer, easy to take apart, cheap-as-free :)

They (Deltas) are a little on the small side for most adults, but they are so easy to cock and shoot.

I actually have a Daisy 121, which is a gamo delta wearing a wood stock. manufactured in 1985, it shoots lasers at 590 fps and is decently accurate. trigger stinks, but you get used to it... the wood stock makes a world of difference giving it a great balanced weight. it looks the business too, wearing a 3-9x32 powerline scope...

those b-3 from "tools now" are actually nice little shooters.  I have 3 of em, all home tuned, but right from the box they did a fine job killing bullseyes :)

They're built like tanks and a lot of fun to shoot.  I love mine....

Thanks Jeff,
I was just looking at from South Summit, They are 39.95 + 9.95 shipped so that's about 10.00 Bucks less then Toolsnow at a Total of 59.99. But
South summit is in TX so that is the diffrance ?
may add one the my Herd!! :)

Isn't this the same gun... http://www.toolsnow.com/air-pellet-rifle.html
It is $35 with shipping...
: Re: tech force 20
: Rontier December 21, 2009, 09:47:48 AM
Yep that's the one!
I think it's where you live ! When I put in my Zip code ,that put's the shipping total at up there in the high 50.00? think it was 56 or 59? bucks
& for a $25.00 buck gun that will need a tune ??
Acadmey still looks good with there No(?) return pollice ? I've got 4-5 airguns from them & took all back W/no problems, My wife thinks I'm to picky??
But if it's not just right ! you won't enjoy shootin it!
anyway South Summit is just up the Road from Austin about 3-4 hrs,

Have a Merry Christmas
