The Tech Force Contender model 87 is a must for anyone who wants an accurate, powerful, well made magnum air rifle for a VERY low price. Action and stock are finished very nicely. A nice trigger, metal sights, A CHOKED BARREL, beautiful checkering, and an overall good design compliment this smooth-shooting air rifle. Although I don't have a chronograph, it will fire a 7.9gr pellet past the sound barrier. The trigger is very crisp once adjusted properly.
The ACCURACY of this gun is completely astounding. At 25 yards it will shoot 5 shots in a sub-0.25 inch group. That's on par with air guns
such as the TX200, RWS 48/52/54, HW77,and
many other air rifles costing much more. I have shot birds as far as 70 yards, using ChairgunPro, an awesome ballistics computer program.
In order to get this kind of accuracy, however, the ARTILLERY HOLD with proper follow-through is very important. This is normal with magnum springers because of the long piston stroke and long lock-time when shot. It likes to be held lightly with my thumb parallel to the grip, support hand touching trigger guard, and shoulder barely touching stock, all done as lightly as possible.
I use 10.5gr Crosman premiers because of this rifle's power. They also have good BC and work well in magnum air guns. This air rifle deserves a quality optic. I have a Leapers AO 4-16x50mm scope mounted on it, and it makes for an awesome combination. I have shot crows, magpies, starlings, blackbirds, and even a skunk since I got this gun about 3 months ago.
So, with incredible accuracy, awesome power, and good quality, this gun is an AWESOME deal for anyone looking for a magnum air rifle for under $250. BUY IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
