Light Weight Wood/Synthetic Gun

[KK0605]

I think that the TF89, while still a little heavier than I like, is a winner. From its looks, to is power and accuracy, it will be able to kill squirrel and coon within a good distance. And, the TF89 sems like a hot topic right now. Thanks you all for the answers.

You should see the frightening holes this thing is tearing into my pellet traps (6"x6"x6" balsa cubes). I'd swear it is hitting harder than the RWS350 -- but I'll be sure after this weekend.

[KK0605]

Awesome! You are going to chrony both and do accuracy tests this weekend right?

[thebookdoc]

Chrony and accuracy, yes...maybe even some hold issues (bench rest vs. hand held). I own both, so I don't care which wins...but even if it is close (like I think it will be) the TF89 comes out miles ahead on cost...

[KK0605]

Yes, the price is great. And stats should be nice also.

Sorry, but I have no home internet connection since my move, and it has really cut into my GTA time. I havegot to solve that issue but for now, it might be just as well, because I have one heckuva lot of projects to complete around the new home.

I believe I got my MP513 .22 from these guys:http://personalsecurityzone.com/cgi-win/order/prodlist.exe/PSZ/?Template=ProdDetail.htm&ProductID=20622

I don't see the .22 now, but for the price, you might want to contact them about it.

From memory the MP513 was averaging 767 fps with CPHPs, of about 14.3 grain or so. Neither the most powerful gun in the world nor the lightest, but a very nice compromise between the two, IMO. It is one of my top two go-to springers for pests, and was one of the first two out of the safe after the move (and the other was the RWS94/Cometa).

There's some really good shooters mentioned here and are capable of dropping Bandit's with shot placement and pellet selection. My 1250.22 is my only Magnum shooter, my CFX.22, ShadowSport.22, Beeman GH950.22, TAC1.22 and B26.177 have all taken Bandits and Country Rat's. I find a accurate mid power shooter and push myself for shot placement. Ed

For anyone looking at this thread, I decided to get the TF89.

Thank you all and thank you GTA!

Congrats. I think it's a great decision!
