Old AA owner returning
Posted: Fri May 15, 2020 10:03 am
Hi, just wanted to say hello.
I own a TX200 Mk2 which according to Claire at AA was manufactured 30.06.93. I bought it used when it must have been 12-18 months old, of a farmer who had "used" it, so it wasn't pristine and had some scratches on the shooters side.
I wasn't particularly into air rifles at the time, but my ex-wife had horses and we had some vermin issues so I thought I would take action.
This was back in the day of exchange & mart and Loot, no internet, and I saw this at what was a good price so I went for it
I used it only lightly and it's gone through a divorce and a few house moves over the years, but it's still with me.
We've recently had some lock down vermin issues here in Nordolk so I got the gun out, zeroed it in and have been picking off vermin.
However, its sparked a real interest in me and it's a sport I'm going to actively try to get involved in.
The TX is great, a little heavy for me standing, and the mark's on the stock do cheese me off, but at the time of buying, it was a good air rifle at a good price, and that was it.
Little did I know I had got a renowned proven .22 rifle that has stood the test of time.
Now I need to start appreciating it and I'm wondering what I can do with the stock?
