Question for bcshooter
« on: December 28, 2008, 12:28:49 PM »


What is your take on your B-40? How accurate at what distance. Have you had it tuned? Do you think it shoots as well as a TX200? Just would be interested on your experience with the B-40

Hi Gene, The B 40 .22cal was one of my first rifles I purchased about one and half years ago. Its very accurate. 3/8 to 1/2 groups at 10mm. That grouping could be my eyes and hands, I feel it could do better with a good rifleman. I never had it tuned, or adjusted by anyone, right out of the box it amazed me. the trigger on this air rifle is also amazing.The soft smooth let off is unbelievable, and quiet too, I never held or shot a TX200Its a little pricey for me, but I would love one. The Pro Sport also. Give me a couple days I will do pics and some target shots and post them for the forum to see.



The only downside of this air rifle is the WEIGHT....its heavy to carry around, I think the short length of the rifle is a factor. I can carry my B 28 .22cal all day long, they almost weigh the same, but I don't feel it when I carry the B 28. Anyhow for me its a keeper I don't think I will ever sell it and buy something else. I will just look around and buy something else as the addiction progresses within........Bill

Yes Dano

Mike sent it to me and I looked at it and picked it up and that was all she wrote. I sold it to Black Momba I think. Do not know if he still h as it. It was just to heavy for my style of shooting.
