Indoor and target PCP, AA T200
Re: Indoor and target PCP, AA T200
Id probably go 22 Dave for me as I already have some in 22. The little pellets are hard to handle but with a mag like this gun has it would be easier with the smaller pellets.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: Indoor and target PCP, AA T200
I’m having problems handing the 17 pellets. Sometimes I wonder if they flipped on me and if I’m putting them in backwards. I think not because the bolt wouldn’t close?

Ob some guns, yes, you can load pellets backwards. I've done it on break barrel springers and when it happens, you will get the champion oof all flyers.

Just ordered the Umarex 850 M2 from Umarex USA. Decided on the .22 as I do have some arthritis in my hands. Coming Fedex ground from Arkansas so will probably take at least a week to get here.

Re: Indoor and target PCP, AA T200
Good for you, Dave. I do tend to fumble those 177 cal pellets more as I've grown older.
Well, our CZ made T200 arrived,today. Wow! What a neat little rifle. It's short, light, and very nice and handy. Reminds me a little of a 10/22. No wonder it has such an amazingly loyal following. It comes with a nice aperture sight and globe sight combo, but I think I'm going to scope, first, to get an idea of accuracy. By the way, there is a Sporter version that has more power, but gets fewer shots per fill. This target version gets 100 plus shots per fill.

Curious why you ordered it there instead of that package deal on Amazon?

Re: Indoor and target PCP, AA T200
I was thinking of getting the .177 model which wasn't offered on Amazon. Saw these reviews for UmarexUSA and was impressed. The Amazon seller reviews were just so-so.
No sales tax (WA sales tax is over 8%) on the UmarexUSA order paid for the extra mag so all I'm out is the no-name pellets and CO2 tanks. Ordered a couple of Umarex 88g CO2's and a 500ct tin of Benjamin pellets, supposed to be the same exact pellets as Crossman Premier, so probably better quality CO2's and pellets for around $30 more.
Sounds like if there's any problems they will be a lot easier to deal with than Sports-and-Gadgets.

The one bad review was meant for Umarex France

Re: Indoor and target PCP, AA T200
Can't wait for a report when you get your new Umarex, Dave. Keep a good supply of pellets on hand. I think you'll need them.
An, yeah, the more I get involved trying to help some other forum friends make the choice between PCP and CO2, the more I like the CO2 option.
A lot of PCP fans go heavy on the gun recommendations and gloss over the fill issue when a beginner wants advice on how to get started in PCP. This is a mistake. I'm just not comfortable recommending a hand pump as a way to fill PCPs, anymore. A hand pump might get you by for occasional shooting, now and then, but if you plan to do even a fair amount of PCP shooting, you'll end up with scuba tanks or a compressor, anyway ... or, as too often happens, you get out of PCP. Pumping by hand gets old in a hurry.

Something I didnt do and was amazed at the difference it made is run some patches down the barrel before shooting it. Dont use and copper or metal brushes . I did my pistol this am and it was not done either. I cant wait to shoot it to see how it shoots now.
