If that doesn't do it for you, go up a couple hundred dollars and get the Marauder (except if you're in Canada, then you're screwed). _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

I've been looking for any news on the Tech Force PCP rifle...no one here has stepped up and bought one yet? I noticed some almost negative comments earlier in this post... realistically, IS there a danger of the thing blowing up? Has anyone seen any new developments since the introduction video of a couple of weeks ago?? ..I ask because I still have some of that "free money " left, and I would like to have one , but I AM smart enough to not volunteer for guiena(sp?) pig duty, no sir _________________ HEY !!

They sure are ...but the tec force version...seems to have a factory mod to make them a PCP/HPA...   Posted: Tue Dec 22, 2009 10:03 pm packrat Senior Member Joined: 16 Nov 2009 Posts: 882 Location: Out in the woods...Ellabell, GA. I don't remember if the video stated if the factory was doing it, or if it was just the guys at the individual store...you'd think the factory would be the driving force behind it, wouldn't you?? Make me feel a lot better about trying one if I thought it was a "factory thing" .. _________________ HEY !!

I could not hit a 40oz bottle from 5 feet away. Worst gun I have even shot. Then I had to wait over a month to get my money back and or exchange. Left a very bad taste in my mouth. _________________ .22 Benjamin Marauder Join http://airgunspace.ning.com It`s Like Myspace for air gunners! want a cheap pcp TF 78 pcp?     Air Gun Home Forum Index » Rifles You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 2   Goto page 1, 2  Next All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
