Thread: Just picked up a Tech Force 89 - .22 cal

Just picked up a Tech Force 89 - .22 cal - for 161.96 (now, they're 10 bucks cheaper).

I wanted a .22 to go with my Ruger .177 Air Hawk. I looked at the RWS 34, Gamo Whisper and TF 89.

All looked real good, but after watching a video of the TF89, I decided to get it.

Here's the video link: http://www.compasseco.com/tech-force-conte...ies-p-1057.html

The TF89 has a Limited Lifetime warranty and is real accurate.

So far, I'm happy. Groupings are real tight. I also got a used TF 3-9x44 Adjustable Objective scope with it. The scope is real nice. So nice, that I bought another for my Ruger Air Hawk. Both scopes are used ($40) and have a 90 day warranty. Brand new they run $80.

Only problem I've had is the scope stop. This is air rifle is so powerful that the recoil sends the scope back into the scope stop and the scope stop flies off. After talking to compasseco about the warranty (it won't void it), I took it to my gunsmith. He's going to tap 2 holese in the rear of the receiver so I can use the screw that is in the center of the scope stop and the screw in the center of the rear scope mount, too.

With that little mod, this is truly going to be an awesome air rifle. Don't know why they don't do it at the factory.

I haven't chronied it yet, but will later.

Dang Bro sounds to me you got setup Real nice....
I just may have to look into that one myself...

It is really hard to believe the recoil you are talking about... didn't have any Idea it would be that hard on a scope....

Cool rifle,

That is funny didn't even think of that one....bio mower

I just sold one not too long ago.

I like my .20 cal better, and it's much quieter.

Think of it as the .40 cal of the airgun world, but it actually works well.

Has a flatter trajectory than .22 but has more momentum than .177.

Only problem is I can't find pellets anywhere but online.

Got a Beeman Goldfinger .20 cal that came with scope and lifetime warranty. Figured it'd be something I can keep until I die for general purpose plinking and small game. Quiet enough to be used anywhere, phonebooks make good backstops.

That being said, the .22 Techforce was great on me. Really powerful as well. But the one I bought had a tendency to diesel and sounded like a .38spl going off. No good for backyard plinking.

Sounds good might just be a dang good gun!!!!
