AIR ARMS TX200

[@ianwoods1384]

Hi Paul, Thank you for your TX200 review. I agree with you. This is a beautiful piece of kit without question. I generally think you get what you pay for. I think to produce blacking like that will take more processes to achieve. Nylon glides will be more expensive to design, test, manufacture, and produce. The fishscale chequering is gorgeous and feels lovely, again costing more than plain average. Generally, the rule is, you get what you pay for. My Grandma always said, "Get the best you can afford." Here, you are getting quality kit, not something average and paying over the odds for it. My humble advice to anyone would be, decide you want it. Save and sacrifice for it. When the time arrives, buy it, enjoy it, and love it. If people look at the mechanics of what they've just done, the hard work and sacrifice, they'll enjoy their purchase even more. It isn't our right to own anything or deserve anything. Many people think it is. You'll only ever truly value and appreciate something you've wanted when you've worked hard and sacrificed to get it.

I agree with you, they are more expensive than the 97 let's say, but it's a different gun, as you say the bluing is about the best you can get on a gun, minelli Walnut stocks, again best you can get, I'm one who can tune guns, the TX must be the easiest to strip, can even remove the piston from the compression tube without removing the cocking lever, l just bought one 3 days ago, full length in Walnut, came with realtree bag and one and half tins 8.3 grain pellets, l regressed using high moly content grease, put a sleeve in the piston and delrin guide, no twang, hardly any recoil, super smooth and accurate.

@6lr6ak6 Hello Sir, Thank you for your reply. It sounds interesting and inspiring what you did with your TX200. I agree, they are very twangy and I don't like that. Did you make your own piston sleeve and top hat, or did you make your own? Thank you, Ian.

[@6lr6ak6]

@@ianwoods1384 Mine was a bit twangy when l got it, l already had a spare delrin guide, the sleeve, believe it or not l make from 2 litre plastic drinks bottles, just need a bottle that's smooth, it's very tough plastic and being thin you can like shim up, mine took 2 sleeves, and makes a big difference. I've done many in the past, mainly Weihrauch's, they definitely need a sleeve to stop grease from getting in the compression tube, that's another good thing with the AAs piston it doesn't have a cocking slot in the piston, there such a well designed /engineered gun, 10/10 AAs.

i have a tx and i must say it’s a cracking rifle . exceptional accurate and a joy to shoot 👍

[@triciaharrod7582]

Rolling the dice on a refurbished for a TX200 Hunter Carbine .22 RH Walnut. Fingers crossed upon receipt so hope to join the club as an owner too. Enjoy the videos, thank you. Arrived, and its a keeper.

Nice review, beautiful rifles well engineered. i have a TX and 2 Prosports. would never part with them, my TX has a Tony Leach 21mm conversation, absolutely sublime. Didn't need tuning but its an amazing experience shooting 21mm less volume skirtless piston.

[@vernonvvccc9325]

Love my tx 200 hc and have found it easier to be more accurate with the air arms silencer fitted but still fancy a hw 98 I wait patiently for the day for you to own one so we get the review. Thanks.

[@paultowns9880]

It certainly is a fine looking gun. Congratulations.

[@Iheartmyson]

The blueing on these Air Arms springers are probably the shiniest. Another superb airrifle in your collection 😁

[@scottdonaldson1973]

Had a lh walnut hc in .22 , was my favorite ever air rifle. I moved from Shropshire to California and couldn't bring my collection with me.

[@stephengamble9388]

First day on the range with my brand new 200 Mk111, I knocked the dark wood of the pistol grip, on the edge of the shooting bench. I do not know what type of wood it is, but It chipped very easily. Almost like charcoal. So owner beware. Superb rifles, nice video.

[@fieldsportcymru4636]

I must admit i have seen a few second hand TX with chips in the cap so it must be a hard wood that doesn't give to a knock

[@6lr6ak6]

It's rosewood,

[@rayfoster6980]

I’ve always said they make a ‘maliciously beautiful’ rifle..

[@peteralexben]

i am right handed ,i like to hold the gun at the pistol grip to cock it and load it with the left , the bear trap is not handy ,it should be deactived automatic when closing the barrel or cocking lever, the fingers are not in the gun when doeing that

[@6lr6ak6]

I tap the pin out and deactivate the bear trap, l don't need um as l have always held the lever when loading, that applies if it's underleaver or break barrel, always keep hold.

[@russellham2094]

Morning Thank you for your vid I'm fortunate to have both a AA TX200HC and ProSport. Preference for the later. Do you not find the standard length TX is a bit too forward weighted? Regards

[@ianwoods1384]

Hello Sir, I truly think the Pro Sport is a beautiful spring air rifle, too. I've never shot or owned a Pro Sport as I preferred the shorter cocking lever on the TX. The cocking lever on the Pro Sport runs the virtually the full length of the fore end and therefore uses a larger radius when cocking the unit. If you are in a cramped hide, I always thought this would prove difficult, so I preferred the TX. How do you get along with yours? Do you find the length of the cocking lever a problem/hinderence? Thanks.

[@fieldsportcymru4636]

It is definitely more weghted to the front end but mount a scope and its negligible really

[@russellham2094]

​@@ianwoods1384 Hi I shoot at a range, and can accommodate the longer cocking leaver without too much issue Fabulous rifle

[@ianwoods1384]

@RUSSELL Ham Thank you, Russell.

[@earleysamantha]

Bought the mk1 when it came out,New ones ar over priced😊

[@redpillnibbler4423]

All things considered I’d be tempted to pay the extra for the tx over a 77.

[@nigelbowen206]

Hi Paul, if you only had to pick the one which would you go for... I'm really undecided?

[@fieldsportcymru4636]

I do like the TX200 carbine walnut .

[@nigelbowen206]

Thank you Paul. Been watching your videos on the Wraith night day vision, that Mini looks awesome, which would you think would suit my S510r?

[@fieldsportcymru4636]

The basic wraith is about 300 quid now and superb for airguns

[@Steve-Cross]

I have the identical rifle. I also have the HW 97. How many with both go for the button at the end, of the underlever on the TX, after shooting, the 97. I also find I am going for the anti-bear trap on the 97 after shooting, the TX. Probably just me then. LOL 😂

[@davidprocter3578]

Sold my prosport at Kempton about four years ago, wish I had hung on to it now. Still it was probably the most boring rifle I ever owned , not I might add because of its looks,or the wonderful way it operated but because the true single hole groups it produced were just too easy, time after time it's accuracy was unrelenting. There was no challenge, I would rather wrestle with my old Tornado hitting the target at all was far more satisfying. Without a shadow of a doubt the PS was the most accurate and reliable air rifle I ever owned other than my Park. Precharged guns along with the 77 and 97 had many, great guns but did not match the ProSport.

[@6lr6ak6]

Yes that's Testament to AAs, the Pro sport and the TX are as accurate as pcps, expensive now at £750 but there the best quality spring gun, bluin best around, same with the minelli stocks,

[@nilslarson7532]

great but did you win the bloody lottery?

[@fieldsportcymru4636]

No sadly ,i wish i did . I have to sell to buy

[@mus1970]

I love my HW97K (and others) but the looks of the TX200(HC) and Pro Sport are really something else... Pity they've become pretty much millionaire's toys - thank you, Brexit :(

[@joebillelo8183]

You keep touching your gun like it was a little girl
