Brilliant Chilly! An "un-molested" face off between the HW and AA is a damned fine idea!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎
It's going to be the ultimate smackdown
It will finally put to bed the argument, which is better, the TX200 or the HW97? Obviously the TX will be the winner. 😀
@@FeathersMcGraw1 Yes . The TX is much more expensive.
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication"
I have the HW95, HW97, HW98, Pro Sport and TX200. I have spent time and effort with all of them and they are great guns. All have their inherent positives and negatives! But as far as I'm concerned, the TX200 ticks the most positives (easy to work on, lots of after market fittings, can be decocked, well balanced, not hold sensitive and not too heavy) and is the one that I should have bought initially! 😎
Awesome footage of my favourite rifle and shared to my group "The air arms appreciation society"
“I’ve had all my jabs” lol good boy that’s probably why you got sick
Excellent Gary, love your videos!
Really enjoyed your vid love the honesty and on the spot demo. Thanks!
Fantastic review about the Air arms tx 200 hc , I just loved the way you put out this video, I hope some day I can get the same Air arms TX 200 hc. Great stuff, great shooting, cheers ...Xavier from Goa
Got it. Thanks will order one today
Gary, wishing you a speedy recovery. Another excellent video, it's good to see it like it is. Good to see you are using that neoprene and foam cheek riser. I have taken the band saw to both my HW100 stocks to give me an adjustable cheek riser. So far so good but it took a leap of faith to make a start! Looking forward to your next video.
Cheers Tony, it's been a rough week
That's what i like about you sir ، each and every bit of your videos are hundred percent actual scenes nothing pretending۔
Great video Gary and you persuaded me to want to get the TX200 HC WALNUT.
Enjoyed the video, thanks, Gary.
Have recently bought the full length TX200 with a walnut stock. I am not disappointed. My first 12ft-lb in .177. I confess I have added an adjustable butt plate, otherwise I have left it standard. (I have a 20 year old S400 Carbine and thought it time I tried a springer.)
Hi Gary ,so glad your better after Covid,can i say what a Absolutely Great demo of the TX200HC you were Amazing and so true to your Values ,i think not ENOUGH is Ever said about this Work of Are or Springers in general its alway's pcp this and pcp that,so this was like you a Breath of fresh Air Mate 💖🥂🥂
Cheers Paul, much appreciated 👍🏻
when looking for a new springer looked at a tx but as a lefty couldnt find a stock to suit. went for the hw97 instead and love it. that said always keeping any eye out for tx. great video, appreciate the honesty, very entertaining
From what I've seen, TX200 is now available with left hand stocks.
they have leftys stocks too!
hello gary ..ive got tx200 mk 1 and tx200 mk2 in original stocks ,one is .22 one is .177 i fined that the .177 is wiral guns tuned with a black knight kit done by jason wharam ..and the .22 is a gun which i bought from bamfords in a right state ..it was rusty ,,and shot badly ,,so i set about doing it up ...i put a tbt kit in it ..and bygod its the finest .22 tx200 ive ever shot ..its unanny how it shoots so well ...
That's great new - Chilly
Keep them coming Gary. Always love watching your videos. Brilliance and blooper reel every time! Great entertainment. Really good to hear your are on the mend from COVID. All the best.
Cheers Mark.
@@garychillingworth Thanks for the reply Gary.
@@garychillingworthhi Gary brill video again hopefully buying a tx hc in a few hours in 22 calibre what is yours please i will use for rats and targets it is second hand. 😢keep up the brilliant work mate. Alan
Thank you sir
Dearly beloved.
We are gathered here today to witness the joining joining together of this man and this gun……..
😂🤣
Chilly, I don’t disagree.
I’ve said time and time again that my TX200HC is being buried with me.
Top video, mate. 👍👍
Let me know where, I have a shovel.
Love your videos please keep them coming. I have wanting to get hw97k of tx200 soon. I'm a lefty i have been more swayed towards hw97k just because I don't believe I should have to pay more just to a lefty like tx200. I think you may have changed my mind again 😂 I want tx200 now. My misses ain't gonna be happy when I come home with both of them.
I've just bought one in 177, I've been saying it for years, sooo easy to strip, the bluing is better on the AAs. It likes FTTs and Magnums.
I think a video of you shooting this gun with this stock in a HFT event would be great. I have more respect for these rifle now. Thanks Gary and wish you a speedy recovery.
We can do that Wayne
Great content as always Gary You should get an hw97 a Walther lgu and your tx200 and see what you shoot best with 👍
The 97 is coming soon 😀
You make a very good point about a tx being a gun , I just wish that I didn't have to pay a premium for a left-handed stock.
What a great video! And your commentary made me laugh. Love your straightforward, modest style - and great shooting! You have succeeded in your goal as you have won me over to this gun and I will be shopping around for one!
2 quick questions: what calibre do you shoot and what pellets do you favour?
Hi Kveecock. Thank you for the kind words, made my day. I shoot .177 as i'm a target shooter and for me. JSB Diablo in 8.44 grain 4.52 head size, although all guns are different. If I can't get JSB, AA fields are every bit as good.
Well, I’ve just bought one this afternoon. Second hand, as I haven’t got £700 lying around. However, for £400 I’ve an almost unused rifle with a walnut stock and it is a thing of beauty, though surprisingly and reassuringly heavy for its size.
2 questions, the safety catch doesn’t always engage when I cock the rifle unless I really pull back hard. Is this normal or should I be worried?
Secondly, I’m very persuaded by the faster lock time and reduced effort of a 22mm piston but I don’t use Facebook so is there any other way of contacting tony leach so I can get hold of one?
It’s dark now so can’t wait to get outside and start using it!
I think my PCPs are going to start getting dusty…
Thanks in advance again.
Keith
I sold my original TX regretfully and just replaced it in the last month with another and am just loving it again.
That's great - let me know how you get on.
@@garychillingworth it is refreshing to watch someone who is obviously good at what they do make a real novice like me feel they can have a go.
hey gary love the tx 👍 i tell you what i would love to see how you make a range card at some point
Good vid Garry! don't think you need much practice with your Rifle, think you might with that Camara though.👍
Well, this was perfect timing for me.
Been looking at getting either a hw98 or hw97kt, but just bought s tx200 hc instead before the price went up.
It was the right decision
I'm still getting used to the TX200 over my beloved HW98. 😎
Both amazing rifles
Hi Gary brill video again please what calibre is yours i about to buy a22 hc in a few hours for rats and targets but worried i should get another 177 thanks again mate alan
Excellent video. I'm right handed, but I have a left handed version (.22) ... the breach is also on the left? I find this much easier to load holding the gun always with the right hand and cocking and putting the pellet in with the left hand? They are cracking guns, "truly brilliant", I love mine, so accurate, bit heavy for field work. But a prime mover, just need pellets. I have a night sight arrangement on mine with illumination and it's getting heavy. So I am waiting for a split body bipod to arrive. My plan is to drill and tap the walnut stock forward of the stock bolts. Fit helicoils and then fit the bipod. A Helicoil is a steel helix used for thread repair but also often used to put a proper thread insert in good wood, like beech or walnut. We will see!
Looking at one of these to shoot along side my Steyr, do the TX need a tuner let loose on them or are they sound from the factory.
I had a similar rifle and it was crazy accurate. Super gun but a bit heavy for a field gun. What a paper hat, did he re zero himself.
Hi Gary, what do you think about Pro Sport compared to HC?
What kind of pellets work best for hunting with tx200. I find it difficult to get the pellets into the barrel. Does anyone make a tool for loading.
Hi Garry I’ve heard guys saying “Are but my triggers polished” so can you do this your self with Brasso or do you have to send to a air gun tuner
If you can do it your self can you do a video of tools required if any and what else can be polished inside.
And do PCPs need things polished inside
Thank you from
Frank
Hello Shotton, I'm going to make a video on setting up a trigger, but this is where I learnt how to do it.
ua-cam.com/video/CF2UyX9Ca3g/v-deo.html
I own one of these rifles. Very accurate, very heavy. Not my favourite springer because of the excessive weight. Air arms like their glue.
Hi could you recommend a good quality spring rifle that's on par with TX but not as heavy?
It’s just a shame Air Arms don’t put and adjustable cheek piece as standard with the walnut stock’s, that’s would give them the edge I feel. Oh and having to pay extra for a left hand 😕 make them an ambi stock. I’ve got Weihrauch air rifles and love them but always wanted a tx so when my local shop got a lefty walnut in I snapped it up 😁 have to say it’s fantastic out the box and it’s the hc.
I've been asking for an adjustable stock as standard for years.
@@garychillingworth Weihrauch do one as standard on the hw98 so why not the hw77 and hw97 as they are used more so for target rifles.
What do mean polished trigger? loads of use practice?...
Hi Gary ...amazing video 🙂 .... I have a one question. How hard do you put your head to the cheek? Do you put the whole weight of your head on a cheek?
Do you adjust the trigger and if so how do you do it properly , thank you

Im thinking about buying 1
You won't regret it.
Hi from the USA.......🇺🇸
Iam thinking about buying a TX200. Iam not sure about which one. The standard, Hunter carbine, or Pro Sport. In my country they have about 16ft pounds in 177cal.
Any advice on which one to buy would be appreciated. 🎯👍
Hi Heath, I hope you had a great 4th of July.
For me it's always the Tx200hc for one reason. It has a half inch unf thread on the front and you can fit a moderator. As its an Airgun you don't need to pay the federal tax stamp on it.
@@garychillingworth On Pyramid Air website it shows the standard and HC to have the same length barrel. So I thought the extra length would be baffles to help keep it quiet. Also the standard has a longer cocking arm, resulting in easier cocking.
Sadly in the USA it's hard to find people with experience with the TX200. AEAC did a great review on the standard 177cal.
Thanks brother for taking the time to give your advice. Liked and subscribed. 🎯
What made you choose the HC then? I see you added weight to the front in your other videos, why not the full length version? All the best, Kane
It has a thread for a silencer - Gary
@@ShootingCountryTV i take it that means the full length gun doesn’t have a thread for silencer? Does it need to be silenced with a spring going twang anyway?
The first thing I would have to do is add a new stock or get the standard one modified. It’s important that the gun fits me and not me trying to fit the gun. My health and old age make its impossible to shoot a non adjustable rifle.
It's going in my lptac2, but I was amazed at how good it was.
Gary what JSB do you usage ? 4.52 ?
453's in this rifle
why the new barrel please ?
Mine had over 80000 pellets through it and It wasn't new when I got it. I vfg my barrels quite a lot and I think I wore it out.
What is the scope you are using sir?
Vortex Viper Gen 2
What model if you don’t mind
It's the Vortex Viper 2 10x32 there is a video review of it on the channel.@@johnbivens3715

I'd take it back mate?
😀
Why do insist shooting from the prone position - matron 😁 shoot from from a bench, we’re all getting old and the floor is a long way down
Because I'm realy bad from the bench :-) - but we have a BR video coming.
Stop tinkering with it.. the TX200 can win anything stock if the pink wobbly thing holding it does it's part.
I've done nothing with my TX200 (1993 MY) and I just fix it when something goes wrong (it never does).. I didn't have the money back in the day to modify it and as I grew as a shooter, I realised the gun was far far better than I ever will be and it simply doesn't need anything.
I don't shoot competitively, I just hunt and plink in the garden but believe me it's perfect as it is.
Like your vid and content good to watch.
But you do not look comfortable laid down .
Seen and heard enough, 4 shots in and making excuses. Snatched the third shot, said it was you for the fourth shot. Sorry mate but as good as you are and yes the TX200 is a fantastic gun, however you or anyone else are not going to put pellet on pellet with off the shelf gun and pellets. We know and you know you’re a very good shooter, cut the crap though and teach youngsters coming into the sport about real expectations, not your ego.
