AIR ARMS TX 200 HC

[@redpillnibbler4423]

Stop making me run out of cash! You’re reviews are excellent. It’s nice to hear someone talking about balance and how a gun shoulders which is to me one of the most important aspects when buying a serious rifle.I’ve never understood why this is usually overlooked in reviews?

[@michaelcarey3105]

I was a teen in the 70's and I feel nostalgic like you! I think PCP's are okay but I don't love them! I love Springer and gas ram rifles because they're nostalgic and require practice and attention to shoot well and they're simple! As you say, all you need to do is grab a pocket full of pellets and go hunting, I like that.I now have quite a collection of Springer guns, 2 TX-200HC (1Walnut, 1 Beech), 2 TX-200 MK3 (1Walnut, 1 Beech), 3 HW97K, 2 GAMO SWARM. Great video!

[@lj03oem]

I have both springers and pcp's.The reward i get from a tight group from a springer trumps a tight group from a pcp every day.I have high end pcp's,but they rarely need re filling,because it's the springers i prefer to shoot.Also,preferred the hw97kt TH over my aa tx200 hc sporter stock,put both in Shefield custom stocks c700 th stocks,now i shoot far better with the aa tx200.Once you have the funds for a quality air rifle,It's all about how a particular rifle/stock type/design suits you and your build and shape,and ultimately,natural ability,there is no this is better than that rifle.

[@redpillnibbler4423]

Thanks for the video,I love the look of that fishtail chequering and the ‘blueing’ and it looks a pretty sorted rifle overall. The cost of charging equipment has to be added to a pcp of course.What I love about springers is you can go out with a tin of pellets and shoot as many as you like with no worries of air pressure dropping.Many’s the time I’ve been out practicing and got carried away - through hundreds of pellets in one sitting.

[@fieldsportcymru4636]

Great arnt they ,like stepping back in time

[@peetje28021970]

That's a nice rifle to the collection, top end springer over an entry level pcp any day of the week. Last springer I bought was a pro sport, accurate as hell with Hades in .22

[@Turki-Alalshikh.]

Is your .22 sub 12ft/lb? Or more powerful than 12ft/lb? Would you reccomend .177 or .22 TX200HC for hunting

[@stephengeoghegan-doughty.5870]

Hi Paul A beautifully piece of woodwork, the etching on the pistol grip and fore stock are cut magically, a class weapon, slightly expensive but you get what you pay for, lovely. Take care stay safe, keep it lit.👍 my friend.

[@JasonKonopinski]

I've both the TX200 and Pro Sport in my collection. Cracking rifles.

[@Happy-Me.]

So have I now. Got the TX200 yesterday!😎

[@sainte3443]

I went for the beech stock. Not as pretty but then I don’t have to worry as much about drilling into it or scratching it up. Still a lovely rifle, just gorgeous. x

[@robmallion5957]

Very nice 👍

[@tonyhoodlass1846]

Defo best springer i have or ever have had

[@BionicRusty]

Had my HC for about 3 weeks now and my god what a rifle. 😳 It’s amazing. I’m getting through pellets at the moment to find it’s favourite food and it’s performing well with the AA Diablo Fields.

[@fieldsportcymru4636]

Yes mine loves the AA field pellets .

[@fedaykeen]

Try jsb exact diablo 4.53..mine shoots them lovely..better than the AA for me.

[@Happy-Me.]

I bought the TX200 a few days ago. I also have the HW97 and HW98(which I use for HFT) I love the pistol grip but found the cheek piece a bit low which is where the HW98 scores as it is adjustable. Looking forward to give it a good run through as I love the balance and weight which is more on the middle of the gun.

[@ravenshield7823]

Just ordered one myself, HC version walnut. Backordered but I will wait as long as it takes. How you getting along with your comparatively? ?

[@Happy-Me.]

@@ravenshield7823 I love the TX200. It has a good balance and not hold sensitive. I now use QYS Streamline pellets which has upped the power to 11.6 foot pounds. This has improved the lock time and trajectory of the pellet. I use mine for HFT and is just a stock gun that has been degreased and relubed.

[@ravenshield7823]

@@Happy-Me. It really is a beauty. Happy shooting sir.

[@triciaharrod7582]

Finally, some luck in the refurbished from PA in the USA, TX200HC .22 RH in Walnut. Like the balance, shorter length, and the pistol grip. Did you see the new stocks AA is coming out with for the TXs? When are they bringing those to the States?

[@michaelr1971]

Taken delivery of my walnut 'lefty' stocked HC, it's a piece of art....stunning in every way. The stock has a lovely Matt texture and look but was wondering if you have treated it with any waxes (Renaissance?) To give it an added level of protection from the elements?

[@PeterAgostiniJdcap26]

That’s a nice springer 👍🏻 Out hunting carry a rag ball it up and put it against the stock and tree trunk to stable the shot .

[@lenkomsa1399]

[@dwangs465]

I got a brand new tx200 in walnut 177. I had an issue with the pivot pin coming out after about 200 odd shots sent it back and got a prosport instead. Only issue with the pro sport is the square shaped lever starts to dig in your hand after a full days target shooting. Definitely air arms makes the best out the box springers. Love my hw98 as well but kicks a lot more. I only shoot targets and hft courses these days.

[@fieldsportcymru4636]

Yes it can be a bit hard on a full day shooting the pro sport lever . Try a target glove makes aiming easier and takes the pain away i got an Anschutz one

[@ravenshield7823]

That's a really good point about the spring noise lol, I was considering a silencer but you are totally right. I have a Daystate Redwolf but I just have more fun with the springers for some reason.

[@redpillnibbler4423]

Depending on the landscape I still think a silencer is worthwhile as in my mind the muzzle report will travel a lot further and spook rabbits,whereas the spring noise is more ‘contained’ if that makes sense?

[@ravenshield7823]

@@redpillnibbler4423 That's exactly what I thought, it literally makes no difference but looks and weight. I actually attached a fancy looking muzzle break instead. Actually, in a sub 12, you could probably tune the twang out of it to make a huge difference.

[@redpillnibbler4423]

@@ravenshield7823 Many variables.Personally I prefer to have a silencer on a spring rifle but it’s a personal choice.

[@ravenshield7823]

@@redpillnibbler4423 Ill give another try, it's probably something someone else could tell better from a distance since the twang is against your face when shooting. I got the HC version purposely so the silencer addition wouldn't be too long, I guess I'm more of an aesthetics person than I should be, but like you say, personal choice.

[@redpillnibbler4423]

@@ravenshield7823 I wouldn’t be too concerned either way,but it would be interesting to do an experiment by asking a friend to stand at different distances and make notes with silencer on/off. I bet the surrounding landscape makes a big difference with echoing etc. - ensure you fire into something quiet so there’s no impact noise. Spring/action noise seems loud to the shooter because its right next to him whereas downrange it might be almost inaudible and muzzle report vice versa. Remember also rabbits have much keener hearing than pesky humans!

got an hc my self i 177 fantastic rifle . i f i could only have one rifle that would be my personal choice as its as accurate as a pcp .

I really love the way you explain about all your airguns, and regarding the Air arms tx 200 hc and the Pro sport, I would like to know which one is more heavy to use , because I personally love the hc 200 and would love to get one some day and since you have both the models , I thought you would be the right person to ask . I just love to see your videos. Thanks a lot and enjoy your airguns cheers, Xavier

Just got mine today, lovely rifle, just wondering if the under lever mechanism should have any slop in it, mine seems to have a bit.

check the bolt that connects rod from the underlever to the cylinder , it comes lose , a bit of loctite on the thread and do it up, leave for 24 hours to set

Very nice Paul, always liked these guns but never bought one always went with the Weihrauchs, I should look to add one to my collection, I will tell the wife you told me too 😂 Keep the reviews coming 👍

[@fieldsportcymru4636]

Lol ohhhh nooo not another woman who is mad at me lol 😆🤣😂 i had the Pro sport too which is equally as lovely but i think the stock on the TX is a better fit on the pistol grip .

No do not think so ,its so sweet shooting to start with . I just need more springer time to sharpen up a bit ,ive got a bit sloppy with all the easy PCP shooting

[@pauljohnson4948]

I love springers. But My most reliable rifles have been Wierauchs. Every Air Arms gun I've ever owned has had problems. This was in the early 90s. I've only stuck with Wierauchs since then.

[@fieldsportcymru4636]

Must admit my pro sport was spot on and i had that a long time . Seem well made solid guns to me . Ive had lots wherauch rifles ,my first really good rifle way way back was a 35 Export from optima back in the 80 s . Before then it was BSA meteors and a very old Airsporter ,though the best looking Air Rifle ever made was a BSA ,the Airsporter Stutzen

Were your problems with the triggers?

[@pauljohnson4948]

@@shaunwild8797 mainly poor build quality & with the exception of the mark 1 tx & the tx recoiless in .177, shocking accuracy ,. I tried every pellet I could get my hands on but I could not get them to settle down. I have had about 100 guns pass through my hands over the years & a good friend taught me how to maintain them. He's an air gun technician. But I am afraid that the experience I've had with Air Arms rifles & the only model of their Springer range I've not owned was the Tx HC. Has taught me to give them a wide berth.
