TAU 7 ripped off or bargain?

[StevieB1968]

Hi all,
I've just bought one of these off a mate..... I've not had a pistol in years but I saw this and after a couple of shots just had to have it :-)
It's absolutely immaculate, in a lovely case with loads of Co2 and 2000 crosman match pellets. I have no idea what they cost but got it for what I thought was a very reasonable £100
I must say that I'm very pleased with the deal-do I have a bargain or is this the going rate for something like this
Cheers

Tried to serch the for sale section to see if i could find prices they have sold for on here, no luck.

Hi
I was recommended to pay up to £150 for one of these, as being a 10M match quality target pistol its a cheap but accurate way to start. Like you I got one at a bargain price and I'm thrilled with it.

Apparently theres a couple of errors incl re sight adjustment, in the manual, if you message me sometime to remind me, I'll dig out the book and tell you the corrections.

2 tips:
1) Don't forget to use alternate end/Co2 piercer caps each time you change the capsule. It's so they warm up to normal temperature.

2) when you close the pellet chamber, pull back on the two knobs to ensure the chamber is properly shut - or it flips up and chucks out the O rings.

happy shooting

It pays to listen to our Linnet...she's the UBC resident Tau 7 expert....

I can't understand why some people give things away!! Maybe "CO2" is a dirty word.

You got an absolute bargain; if immaculate, it must be worth twice that, the way the Pound has gone.

HaHa! Thanks for the compliment Eric - but I'm not an expert at anything. Haven't you seen my UBC quote 'Jack of all trades, master of none'

Unless you're just takin' a dig at my piercer cap - having just changed the seal in one yesterday......

Well done you lucky b#gger,drooling with envy, now tell your mate that i live just down the road and would have given him nearly double at least..mike.

Regardless of which Tau model it is....You have an absolute bargain!! I just wish some mug would offer me any of the Tau's in that condition for that price..

Now sit back and enjoy it

A very fair price. These things shoot well at 20 yards and 25 metres too. Really too good to just use for plinking.

[StevieB1968]

Excellent, am even hapier now
It has adjustable grip with barrel weights and a screw in one for the rear end too so I believe it's the sport???
I must say that I have never been able to shoot a pistol as well as I can with this..... I think the previous owner has turned the power up a little as it goes off with quite a kick
It certainly has ALOT more power than my old Tempest I dug out today as a comparison, altho it is a very old one to be fair (20+ tyrs as I recall), needless to say the Tempest has gone back into storage for another 20 yrs!

The Sport has 'Tau' engraved in the forstock part, also has the better trigger than the Standard. Barrelweights, and adj grip are standard on all models.
The Match and Silhouet have slightly better (selected) barrels and a compensator. Also, a laminated grip.
