TF 89 in .177

[WVscott]

I got one of the refurbs from sportsman guide for Christmas.  Took it apart, cleaned all the grease and honed and relubed with JM lubes.  Polished the trigger sears and cut one coil off the trigger return/sear spring.  Gun shoots really nice, but I couldn't get it to group well...3-4" with crosman hp's at 25 yds.  Best was kodiaks for around an inch.   i pushed a pellet down the bore and there's a really tight spot right at the muzzle.  I'm sending the barrel off to Paul Watts for a cut, crown, and choke...we'll see what happens.

I've had nothing but problems with the only refurb gun I've ever bought.  I should have just sent it back when it was shooting poorly out of the box.

Kinda glad it WAS sold out. Otherwise I would probably have pushed the button.

My refurbed Walther Force 1000 from Sportsman's Guide was a fantastic buy. It home tuned to an output of around 935+ fpe with CPHP and was a tack driver at 25-35 yards.

Oh well, staying ready for the next bargain AG.

Happy Shooting!!!!

I've got a refurb, and it is fine...or better than that. Refurbs are supposed to match or beat factory specs...

I just can't see buying a refurb unless it is 3/4 or better of the price.  When you can buy a brand new gun for $89, that is pretty good!  In fact mine has already SHIPPED and will be here on Thursday!

Big Brown Santa is due in here on Thursday!  I'll let you guys know how it shoots and whether it is the same as my TF 89.

I was shooting my TF 89 .22 today. It was really warm instead of the frigid cold of the last few weeks.  The POI changed to where it was shooting about 2" high. I messed with the scope a bit and then was putting them darn near in the same hole.  I really need to get this gun tuned to smooth it out, but you can't doubt the accuracy!

Woo Hoo, just got the tracking # Brown Santa tomorrow!
