Description

Wood stain on the stock and checkering may be lighter or darker than the above image.

The Tech Force TF89 Contender Series is one sweet breakbarrel air rifle! The crisp open sights are definitley a cut above the rest. The rear sight is fully adjustable and has a fine scale for the windage adjustment and a crisp thumbwheel for elevation. The beech stock is beautiful and very well-made. Reddish overtones enhance the rich, dark brown color and the pistol grip and forearm are covered with two generous panels of fine checkering. The Contender 89 is not only beautiful, it's very powerful, shooting at 1100 fps in .177 and very accurate (we got 1099 fps with RWS Hobby pellets)! At 30 yards, the c-t-c group measured 0.442 inches.

Very accurate, not very hold sensitive, powerful

At this price, nothing

One of the most accurate spring guns I have tried. Out shoots RWS 34 pro compact, on par with RWS 34 regular version. Smooth also, not real loud.

Not too heavy, cocking effort isn't bad at all, triggers on both of mine are crisp and clean, extremely accurate with Polymags, not terribly hold sensitive

A version with a shorter barrel

I've got two of these both in .22, one shoots 800-805 and the other 795-800 average both with Crosman Premiers. I recently chopped the barrel on one to 12" and hold sensitivity seems to be a thing of the past, .5" groups with Polys at 30 yards are no problem.

Overall this is a great deal for the money. Out of the box it's solid but I'd bet a cheap tune would let this rifle hold it's own against the more expensive rifles in it's power range

Decent build quality for money. Nice gun overall. Not too heavy so good for kids to shoot. Pyramyd Air had this on sale so it was a steal!

Nada

Bought this for my 12 year old nephew. Only shot 50 rounds or so but so far happy with purchase. Pyramyd Air is awesome to deal with!

Right out of the box, small critters or cans better look out. Beautiful gun, well made and accurate. At 50 feet, it's right on. Unbelievable at Pyramyd Air's price.

Perhaps, buy one, get one free, would be better.

I shot mine in my home into a homemade cardboard box target. Just call me "Dead Eye" and help me get that pellet hole in my wall fixed.

extremely powerful, finish on wood stock, sights, butt pad, over all quality

this gun has alot of power, the spring makes alot of noise. and vibration. its your typical springer. good for shooting out on the river or anywhere away from neighbors. nice weight. with a little practice ou could be hitting small animals such as rabbits, squirrels, if your new to high powered sprinters this one is cost effective. great gun to learn to shoot with. close range this gun is devastating to cans and spinners. you can have alot of fun with this gun.

I like the feel and accuracy of the TF89. I am 6'6" tall and the balance and weight is a natural fit. The trigger is gritty on a long pull but goes off just right at the end of the pull.

The trigger needs to be smoothed out but works fine as is.. I don't like the small breech seal oring but the current one works. There are changes that would enhance the TF89 but at a higher cost for the rifle.

The stock screws need to be tight for consistency. Watch them. Be patient and allow a break in period. I experimented with different size breach seal orings during the break in period.

The stock, the trigger and overall appearance except for a couple of dings in the stock of this gun. Price. I bought this as a doorbuster sale item,the barrell droop was so bad it shot a full 27" low. Then I shimmsed the rear scope mount with 3 shims and it still shot 6" low.then I removed the scope and it had a pinch in the tube, and I; ve mounted plenty of scopes and did not over tighten, Thank GOD it did not ruin the Leapers scope. It sits atop another rifle now.Anyway I sent the rifle back the next day. According to FEDEX P.A has received the gun but I havn"t heard from them yet confirming receipt. Bought a new gun at Wal Mart, less worry.

Make sure that it can hit a target when you mount a scope on it.

I would have given this rifle 5 stars if it would have just worked the way it should have right out of the box, Also my stock had a couple of dings in it.

Thank you for the info, but this is not my 1st. air gun or scope, and I do know how to zero a scope ,reset the erector tube and sight it in. So I am happy that you know all about sighting in a scope.

hogkiller Mar 29, 2013

when you mount a scope on any rifle, you have to sight it in, i have never had any trouble with any scopes on any of my guns!

Nice solid stock, appears to be well built. Good sights, very easy to cock.

I picked up the .22 version for a nice discount price, but sent it back. It had two problems. 1. The sight was maxed for elevation and was still shooting low at 15 feet, cannot imagine what it would have been like at 45 feet. 2. The detent ball was not very strong and I was not confident in it's ability to keep the breech block in closed position, and that is a big problem. Pyramyd Air has the best customer service, in my experience.

If you get a good one, it is probably a superior rifle for the money, but that was not my experience.

Everything.

at the price this gun sells for there isn't anything you could change plain and simple.

Purchased my 89 contender from pyramyd air in 22 cal, unfortunately it is no longer available in 22 cal. and if I would have known what a fantastic rifle it was gonna be I would have purchased two of them the same day. went back to get another one and they were gone. but let me tell you what a sweet bargain they were. this gun is awesome, it's extremely powerful and tack driving accurate. small game doesn't stand a chance against this weapon. please Pyramyd air get them back I want another one in 22 cal
