Considering a techforce 99 to replace my old rifle/ Varmits and small game

[KYBOY]

Im considering this rifle for small game and varmits. Ive read a lot on this forum and it seems to be a good rifle for the price. My old rifle has give up the ghost after amny years. Im wanting a better rifle and one I can harvest small game reliably with. Will this rifle fit the bill ok???

What was your old gun, and what happened to it? If it was a good rifle it may be cheaper to get it fixed. The Chinese rifles generally have little quality control. Some are ok, but many have problems either right out the box or soon after. Springs fail, seals fry, and most need to be disassembled, cleaned, deburred, properly lubed etc in order to work advertised. You'll probably be better off in the long run looking into a better quality rifle. With the time, effort, money and the hassles that it takes to get a Chinese gun up to par with a European rifle like the R-9 or HW77, you might as well just spend the extra cash up front and save yourself some headaches.

the tech force guns are good but what kind of game are you hunting and at what range? i have kill lot of game with my 2200 up to 40 yards. if you are looking for a good gun look at the daisy Model 1000SB airgun from walmart for 100$. everyone i have hear from say this gun is the gun to get. here is some stuff that was said on http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews64556.html

I have to say to those who are complaining about the Daisy 1000S scope so much that I simply haven't bothered to try mounting mine. I don't really see a need as the rail sights are more than adequate with the bright fiber optic sighting. Setting up targets at 40 yards, I had it dialed in accurately in 4 shots: dumbfounded, I kept increasing my range. I practice with it now at 100 yards and reliably hit 16 oz plastic bottles... greater than 80% of the time sitting on my stairs and holding the gun in my hands, you don't even have to bother with going prone or using a modified bipod. I bought a bunch of romance novels at a used book store ($.05/per reusable taget) and it's amazing that at 100 yards it penetrates over 250 pages. Open them out and bits of paper flying out the back are a pretty satisfying spotting phenomenon. The heavy trigger pull will draw you off target occasionally, but 100 yard target shooting for $100? The complaints for this gun are simply silly. I've let friends shoot it and they all run straight to Wal-Mart. That's the best testimony there is. Oh, BTW I use (Crosman) Premier Hollow Point pellets.


When I first bought this Daisy 1000S gun I was amazed by its power, on the second day I shot a crow from about 50 yards away, the gun is very strong and very accurate once you set up the scope.


The Daisy 1000S is a nice air rifle, very accurate and dependable. Good for hunting pigeons, squirles and crows. I strongly recommend this fine gun. Its too accurate to be a pellet gun. This was my first heavy duty rifle and I think that it is the best. Well its the cheapest but its OK. If you hunt rabbits it will hit it and make a hole through it. I know I did it once.

Hello KYBOY
  what type of game do you have for air gun hunting? I ask as i am headed your way soon. I got the beeman in 177 i was thinking it would be a good around the house squirrel gun. after shooting it I think it would be fine for rabbit size game. up close with a well placed shoot any way. Certinly seems powerfull enough any way, but listen to the more experenced air gunners on that front. So what else will i be seeing in the small critter catagory, out your way ?            D.C. Don
