While here in the USA we mod both of these to 30 joules or so. Using aluminum balls! Lol. Pretty rough laws you have. But i get it.

I've had a Element Helix for a number of years, they are great scopes for the money, I'm all for additional info 👍

If you mentioned it I apologise but what distance are you shooting at?

The air cylinder is shorter than a standard S510 carbine, it’s the same length as the S400/410 carbine and the shroud and moderator are different to a standard S510 carbine too.

Hi, I have just caught your video, I have just bought a new TX200 HC. 177 last Saturday to sit alongside my new HW80k Luxus. 177 in my gun cabinet, that I purchased new 3 months ago, Both Rifles will stay as they were intended, that is as per factory spec's, I've no intention of ruining the manufacturer's warranty, reason being I don't do a lot of shooting these days,probably once a month, but the Hw80 has already had a couple of runs out at the Range & is an absolute dream to use, I bought the TX200 because I wanted a premium Under lever Rifle, having previously owned both HW97 & HW77's some years ago, I decided a change was in order, although I do prefer Weihrauch Rifles over any other brands, both these Rifles replaced PCP's, so I'm now a dedicated "Springer" user. 😁👍

Apart from the galling issue, piston seal failures and the fact best to remove and replace the protective grease before use . Its a lovely rifle to own with an unbeatable trigger

Springers are the future 💪👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

My TX200 is my favourite rifle I own

Why's it like 2 to3 ft-lb under the stated power 😢 just ordered this amd its not as acidic as the air force one trophy i was going to get and actually go to a shop for thats was within traveling on public transport distance instead ordered this from Nottingham for 180 delivered in 22 and im thinking im slightly gutted a bit as at just over 6ftlb ots under power think o may still have to purchase one 😅

I’d suggest bisley long range gold or Rangemaster Sovereign

Maybe you’re pulling shots because of a flat trigger 😮

Does anyone know how to remove the slide on this? I have a pellet stuck in the barrel and I need to get into the breach end to push it out!!

Just bought this rifle from Leicester air guns and looking forward to using it. Nice to have a little history.

Try it on a gun vice over 30 yds to eliminate parallax error etc 😊

30 yards outside in the wind ,just a tad over a 5p piece, I think that's pretty dam good 👍

Do you think POI shift is due to plastic guard ?

Is umarex but from wich factory? Thanks

Firstly, good for you for being asked to do this review but importantly good for you for not being ‘bought into’ the product so you could do an honest review. Much respect although I’ve always had respect for you and your reviews. 🙏

I think you do really well,honesty first which is so important. I had my first air rifle BSA Merlin in 1962, so you might guess the whole digital hows your father just seems overkill to me. But thats just me, so kudos for the video and bring back the springers( My salute to modernity, I like Gas Rams... ) Take care and thanks again Keith.

Thanks for the review. I thought you planned on doing a follow up or more testing about hold sensitivity relating to accuracy on your TX?

Stand closer to the mike, Very difficult to hear.

Notes from an old curmudgeon. When I was a kid 60 years ago I had an aged BSA Cadet .177. I enjoyed it immensely and despite its low power I think that I became proficient with it, but I always fired standing up and with open non-adjustable sights so allowances for wind and range were made by experience and practice. Practice is everything - you never have to think about how you hold your rifle or how to breath when firing. I am in no position to give you any advice but I wonder if your grouping might improve if you replace your wobbly table with something more rigid. You make interesting videos and I enjoy them. Thank you for your time and trouble in making them

Love mine in .177, wouldn't mind changing the sights to fibre optics tho, where did you get them from please?

16 joules

My Beeman R1 in .20cal is 35 years old and still shooting strong with everything still is stock. I'm having a hard time having any air piston gun go even 5 years without replacing. Metal mainsprings definitely seem to last a lot longer.

I highly recommend Sandwell field sports tuned 99s.. mind blowing 👌and I’ve been shooting, and messing about with air guns for 40 years, Sandwell 99 is the best tuned air rifle I’ve ever come across, and it’s not just mine everyone I know that bought one after using mine said the same👌

Complete waste of money my friend but made ok content.. any stock 99 would benefit from a clean and degrease/re lube periodically plus your main difference wasn’t the tune it was the fact you done one video (before) on a very hot day and the after on a very cool day…🙄 As we all know in hot weather a springer looses power👍

Just wondering do you have to do this to every new air gun you buy.Here in Australia a hw cost $1000 approximately I can understand having to do it to a $300 gun but to spend this amount on a top of the range gun and have to spend another $300 to get it right.I just don't get it 😢

hi how many different pellets have you tested ? it does not jump about much which is what springer tuning is all about maybe a stock upgrade and flog that one .maybe a barrel sleeve. maybe get the trigger sears polished please after a few tins of pellets let us know if the power has crept up

4:38 - you just put your lead tainted pellet fingers in your eyeball and face...😬 Just a friendly observation - you may not care or realise you did it, but lead is a carcinogen. Nice video, I got a 99s and the info is helpful.

That shot deviation is phenomenal 👏

Is it me or does the gun sound louder now? Anyway great vids! Have had a couple of 99s and always regret selling them. Think you need to stop putting yourself down over the springer technique it’s not too bad and as you say more practice will help you perfect it. Thanks again.

Nearly 5 p group at 30 yards with a springer is awesome my friend so no need to be unhappy about that…

Great review of the tune. You could not be more transparent! Enjoy shooting your 99. Take care.

Great Video....remember the Mantra..the more I practice, the luckier I get....😉 I've got a couple of 99s and they are both tuned....one by Sandwell Fieldsports....the other by Me using Lynn Lewington glided drop in Kit. Both Excellent Rifles....both providing the best accuracy when given a diet of H&N FTT. Give them try. Keep up the great work 👍

Very interesting video, i am lucky to have a few HW springers and have been thinking of tuning a couple of them. As for the shooting, your results are not that bad, I shoot PCP and springers and my results vary each time. I have definitely got better with springers over time but need more range time. A noteable twang reduction thats for sure!!

I think the same shooting technique applies to all rifles so springers are no different to shoot really . The two most important things I feel are trigger control and follow through . Don't pull the trigger or squeeze it - think SMOOTHLY closing the gap to the back of the trigger guard , and DONT release the trigger until you see the impact on the target through the scope .

My tuned 99s loves Accupell in .22 and will shoot 1 hole groups at 27 yards. Good video 👍🏻

Great review of a great little gun,you do know that with time that tune will get better. Give it a few hundred pellets and the results will come. I look at a spring gun of any make as a platform for better things with a tune up.

Been looking forward to this..interesting stuff, I'm sure once the spring settles in the power will increase a bit and even out,and you're right if you relax and practice those groups will tighten up..I think all weihrauch's require a degrease +appropriate re-lube from factory and with the work you've done +the quality of build you now own an heirloom rifle for you and your kids to enjoy 👍👍

Osm 😘💕👍👍

Great video and review idea. Never seen anyone do one like this. Good results too. I have a sfs imp mk2. Great little guns for ferals inside the barns.

Been subscribed since the beginning good videos love the honesty and cant wait til the next one.

gun cost £300 and spend £200 to get it correct hmm interesting

Always good to see your videos, this part 2 was well interesting, reckon it was money well spent 👍

Both great reviews about the 99S mate👍 You will get one centimeter groups with some more practicing, I do like to have something soft under my right elbow that will raise my arm a bit. The tuning won't make the 99 directly way more accurate but more easy to shoot because of a smoother, less jumpy shooting cycle and that will result in better groups. Thanks for showing, Cheers!

i bought one 6mnts ago. I love it. Brilliant channel. Where is the vid on the ratworks tuned one my freind

I have three TX200s..

Ex competitive field target shooter here. Head size can make a massive difference. Some rifles need the barrel cleaning when you start getting fliers or the groups starting opening up. Often after cleaning you need to ‘ lead up ‘ the barrel with approximately 30 shots before they tighten up again…..all good fun 😃

I’ve got a 99S and it’s mega. My gardens only 20 yards and it will shoot cloverleafs at that range. Fantastic ‘Prepper’ rifle !
