Thanks Gary, surprised myself and managed to hit all of those damned reducers :D , you did very well considering it being a new set up and all .




Thanks Nick, yes i was pleased with the result, did well on the reducers too. i really want a TX in a full on FT stock. i need more weight in the rifle. better start saving.

Tim, you can remove the plug in the comp. tube, then have the tube honed on a pin fitting hone. This will make it straight unless it is just too far out of spec. I had one of my TX200 tubes honed and, while it seemed to be way out of spec, it was actually not bad. Your machinist can run the hone for just a few seconds and then take a look at the crosshatch pattern to see if it will true up easily. My machinist friend told me that the tube is very hard.
