Gunnerbob Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Up until recently, I had a TX200 HC fitted with a Bushnell scope. The rifle was bought new and it was the best springer I ever owned, (I've had a few !). It was accurate, consistant and a pleasure to use. It would make light work of rabbits and pigeons. Mine was a .177. Only criticism...bit on the heavy side.....just my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdsm10airgunner Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 will follow this with interest same position as OP (no garden centre though ) there are several on guntrader uk within my budget even a couple of prosports but i keep reading that a well tuned hw97 is as good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbo33 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 The TX is a superb rifle, only downside is weight. Before you but one, try the BSA lightening XLGRT. A mate bought one on my reccomendation as he had a tx and wanted another. He is absolutely thrilled woith it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 A walnut stocked TX might help if the weight is a deciding factor but heavy guns are more steady-as long as you are strong enough to handle the gun in the first place.Do yourself a huge favour and try one before anyone convinces you to buy any other gun-takes but a minute but will save you months of dissapointment if you buy some inferior gun.

IXI KARL IXI Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) I was going to get a TX but went to the shop and had a look and hold and it wasn't for me, I got a HW97 Instead. I was lucky because a couple of days before I nearly bought a second hand one off Gunstar and was going to just get it posted, very glad I didn't as I wouldn't of been happy and probably be selling the selling the gun. A lot of people rate these guns very highly and a lot say the best springer on the market, this is why a nearly bought one. I can't recommend enough to go have a hold and see what it's like.

YROCK Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Had both .177 and .22 in a TX.seems to have a sluggish fireing cycle to me.Thats why the HW97K has always been the better of the two for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
