Page 2 - Tech Force TF99 Reviews

The Price and quality of these TechForce under lever fixed barrel spring air guns is unmatched by any. If you are as fussy as I am you will want to inspect, debur, clean and lube it before firing.

Better information on the gun. Parts diagrams & exploded veiws.

Spring air guns have a kick to them and break barrel guns are in accurate because the barrel moves when you fire them especially as they age.

I wouldn't normally give 5 stars everywhere but I have never bought an airgun I didn't have to adjust the open sights straight out of the box. Open sights at 10 yards and all shots within a quarter, for me, is very respectable.

Nothing.

It's a little weighty but the balance is there. I haven't put a scope on but I'll bet that quarter could turn into a dime very easily.

Easy cocking motion, adjustable rear site, and good power.

I would like them to mount some sort of clips to the stock to which I could attach a sling.

This is a heavy gun. Don't let people disuade you from this gun. People gripe about it being Chinese, or that it is inaccurate, but this is as good as any on the market. Like ANY air gun you have to find a pellet that it "likes". There is a Pyramyd Air review for this and one the one hand it says "not a tack driver", but elsewhere he got a dime size grouping with a 10.5 grain pellet, so I must not understand what "tack driving" is. Mine had the 10 for 10 service and this averaged 885 fps with an 8.6 grain pellet. I took it camping in 30 degree weather, sited it in at 25 yards with a Crossman 7.4 grain field tip pellet and from the occasional report, I knew it was flirting with 1060 fps. I expect it will settle down to 950 to 975 fps after it's fully broken in. Fit & finish is excellent.

Solid, beautiful, and powerful.

Maybe a bit lighter?

Bargain!

The model 99 Premier is an excellent air gun. I got .210 three shot groups after I sighted it in with a 4 power scope. The starling population around me house has gone down considerably.

This air gun is extremely heavy. Coupled with a scope it weighs more than 9 lbs. It's accuracy makes up for it though. There could be some stream lining on the weight of the stock in my opinion.

If you are looking for accuracy, this air gun will deliver.

I love the feel and accuracy of this gun. I'm going to get a scope and that will make it that much better

Nothing that I can think of.

I love the look, the price and the accuracy are all well worth the money.

Nothing

A great addition to your gun collection.

This is really a nice looking gun, the wood finish was done pretty good, also the bluing is a fairly decent for a lower Priced Springer, this Gun is a Real pleasure to shoot, it's real easy to get your fingers in there to load the pellets,And it's pretty easy to cock. This is one of my first under levers and I couldn't be more happy with it all and all I believe this is a great gun for the price you just Can't beat it.

I believe the Seals in this gun are leather so you get Quite a bit of Dieseling it's not too bad. it's a hard hitting gun, but it would be nice if Pyramyd Air came out with a Nitro piston or a Synthetic seal.

this gun is made out of wood and metal so it's a very heavy gun

The price/power ratio is what drew me to this rifle. I had heard the accuracy is either great and very consistent or very poor, depending on the luck of the draw. I happened to get a bad one and it shot 3 inches to the right even with the rear sight moved all the way over. Pyramid accepted the return and the replacement has not arrived yet. Very friendly and courteous on the phone and the Pyramid folks were very responsive. Tech Force product come from a different warehouse recently acquired by Pyramid and there was a communication snafu that messed the replacement shipment up. In two communications, I requested and verified the delivery address yet it was shipped somewhere else and very slowly. The original purchase was made February 22. I returned it 5 days later and understood it would be returned almost immediately. More than two weeks later I'm still waiting. As a matter of fact, I bought this to use on a trip. It is in transit now so I will leave without it. I will not be available to sign for it the week it is scheduled to arrive. I will have it held at the shippers office and pick it up when I get back. Bummer.

Warehouse all the products together and listen to the customer (or read the email you asked for) when you ask where the customer wants it shipped. Again, the folks on the phone were very courteous and responsive.

I bought a Tech Force 97 and have been very happy with it. Its accuracy is spot-on and it is much lighter than the 99.

The gun that I have is smooth, and is better sounding than all my other German springers.The R9 and RWS both make lots less power and a lot more spring noise ,vibration and recoil. This gun has little recoil and is easy to cock also!

trigger works for me but , I bet there could changes made there . I would like to have long lasting materials used for the seals ..scope stop is as steted, stupidly built but easy to work with. I have not had any problem with recoil and the scope I have.

Better gun than you should expect, quality is fine. I usuallly do not say this about imitation imported guns heavy and Powerfull, will go through 3/8 plywood ...probably 5/8 even, I want to know what makes this gun different than the new model contender 87... This gun seems very smooth firing.

I have not yet used the rifle. It seems to be well constructed.

The owner's manual provided with the TF99P is the owner's manual for the Industry Brand QB36 air rifle. The TF99P and QB36 seem to be equivalent rifles, but wonder if the TF99P has an owner's manual. The QB36 manual has only a few words about maintenance and care. Plus, the QB36 manual is poorly written...the translation of Chinese to English is poor. I have not used the TF99 yet so I can't rate it's accuracy or performance.

Is the stock and metal work is good. My airgun is accurate up to 35-50 yards and would be alot longer if I would try shoting it past that distance. Cocking was a bit rough at first but after a good cleaning and lube it got better very fast. Trigger is a single stage and will take some time to break in but it great now.

Barrel Droop,better seals.

This is a heavy airgun and it will take time to master it, but once you do it is fun to shot. Get ready to replace the spring because mine broke within the first 1000 shots. Mine had barrel droop and I had to shim my scope to get it to work so be ready to select a good mount and scope ( RWS/UGT droop mount did not work for me). I would like to see Tech Force use better seals because the leather seal need lubacation every 500 shot or so and it will smoke until the next 500 shots. But I still really like shoting this Airgun and all the work I did to it made me master this beast.

If you never owned an under lever air gun, this is a good one for the price. I have two one it .22 and one in .177. Both of them are very accurate. I've converted the .22 to an open sight gun with a Mendoza peep sight.

The springs can wear out really quickly on them. They need to offer them in a gas ram.

These are pretty inexpensive guns and benefit from a tune. Both of my were tuned and are a lot better now after some gunsmith TLC.

Great rifle

Operational Manual - Some Chinese translations to English poor.

This is a very beautiful gun. I got it actually by mistake. I ordered one gun, or so I thought in a .177 cal and ended up with this gun in .22 cal. I was tempted to send it back and get the one I wanted but I grew to like the gun. It's not my favorite and I rarely select it for a hunt for several reasons. First of all it is a heavy beast so not fun to lug several miles. Being an underlever it is not a good candidate for a sling. It is quite accurate when used with a monopod but tough to use unsupported. If you hunt with your guns, like me, look for something else.

I'd make it lighter and make the trigger safety/cocking mechanisim a bit less complicated, add sling swivels

Heavy beast. not a good hunting gun, but it is pretty.

very dark and pretty gun.Good color for the wood.After finding the right pellet (H&N Hollow Point .22 Cal, 12.65 Grains) this gun turned very accurate at 30 yards.easy to cock for me and with a good 1 piece high scope works well and has little scope movement.It has a trigger for releasing the barrel after cocking to avoid finger smashing!

Blueing could be a little better so keep her cleaned and oiled.

This is a fairley heavy gun to carry for extended periods of time.After polishing gun its finish was muche nicer.im glad Pyramid is carring these now as the order will probably go through much faster now.
