Home tune on LGU?

[Barryg]

a stroke similar to the MK 2 TX so are less hold sensitive , ie easier to shoot accurately in standard trim.

But mk3s still beat the LGU in competitions but even if you are right that's 1point to the LGU and 100 points to the TX

Shoot both side by side and you will see that i am right ,
Personally i prefer the TX, though an lgu won the british springer championships this year Field Target class

Hi,

My gun is .177 and I have opened the TP to 3.2mm
I may well buy a TX200 MkIII just so I can compare over an afternoon side by side.
I'll then sell the worst gun.

I don't know anybody with air guns around here and as yet, I'm not in a club. I've been shooting for 30 years, but my last air rifle club was 3 years ago, I was all HFT PCP, that club closed 2 years ago.

For the cost of the loss on one gun, would be the loss of money wasted tuning up this one.

I can feel myself moving back to my original direction of an HW77 25mm piston and a full tune problem. This is why I just bought the LGU and got on with it, it was getting to problematic and too many options. The gun is grouping well, but the recoil is more than I'd like. When people say sight picture, there is NO WAY I'd be able to see the impact (let alone flight) of the pellet. It's a case of aim, shoot, recompose, see how you did.

I live in Cwmbran South Wales. I'd be more than happy to travel (up to 2 hours each way) to somebody that would be happy to see if my gun is 'normal' or could be better. If anybody can help me, I'm very much up for that. I'm happy to go to your club so as not to expose your home address to a tool stranger!

Thanks.
Rob.

A lot of people end up chasing their tails for a shot cycle that 'feels' right, and ultimately sacrifice the thing that matters most i.e accuracy.
Just because something feels nice to shoot, it doesn't necessarily follow that it will hit what its aimed at.

This.

I had a V-Glided HW97K which had quite a bit of recoil compared to my TX200 with the full works (shortened transfer port, lightened piston, etc).
But the HW97K grouped fantastic, still my best groups to date with a spring rifle.

Wish I never sold it.

I'm shooting targets and tight 10 shot holes is everything to me. I'm going to start washing and lubing my pellets, so that's how far I'm going to go. I shoot competition 22 rimfire with open sights, so every point counts for me. The recoil matters greatly to me and the resulting grouping!

The LGU is a nice gun, I've fixed the trigger with a mod I did and opened the TP to 3.2mm to preserve the spring, but I keep reading the TX is a better gun that groups well. So I need to try one for myself. I was talking to a shop in the Leeds-Sheffield area that is well stocked and hand a shooting range to test the guns before you buy. I ended up just buying the LGU last week as it was getting messy trying to chose over forums and the net!

It looks like I'll need to got to that shop and shoot a TX (8 hour drive there and back!) The local shop I bought the LGU from last week were of very little help. I think they simply want you to buy all three, test them and sell off the other two second hand.

Note,

The shop was Redbeck, I remember now! I will ring them and sort out a plan.

Very true , you ideally want both, but being able to see the shot impact is a huge benefit when shooting competitions outdoors as you can see what the conditions are doing to the flight of the pellet.

I have no chance what so ever of seeing the pellet fight with this LGU, this is why I'm trying to tune it. I was the one Nick, that was asking you about the LGU yesterday. The gun is quite hold sensitive, but I have nothing to compare it to, so I may have to buy a TX200 and just shoot them both one day and sell one at the end of the day.

You will have to take my word for it that it was an lgu, I was there awesome shooting from John only missing two, I only managed 28 this time around .

Yes Nick of course I take your word

Are you talking about this gun?

[MrChipShoulder]

That is deafo an LGU, I can see the pellet on the bear trap and safety switch.

I'm very happy with my LGU in all areas, but I'd like less kick.
I'm sure that LGU in the pick is awesome, are the guts 100% standard? does it recoil as much as mine?
