I own a TX200HC in .177 and its the smoothest and quietest springer I've ever shot. A beautifully refined rifle that feels highly tuned straight out of the box.
I buyed Air Arms tx200 mk3. Very godd carabine, material, quality, precision! 17 joule of the potence 261,8 MS with pellet heavy 0,53 grammi
After getting back into shooting and not held any guns since my childhood, picked up one of these a few days ago and I love it. beautiful gun.
TX200 is a beaut. Lovely stock and sweet out of the box
I have had my TX200 .177" in walnut for about 9 months now. It is a heavy gun for a pensioner like me but I only do target shooting and don't have to carry it around all day. For the technicians among us, it is easier to strip & rebuild than the German competition. It has become one of three guns I never plan to sell. (The others being a Weihrauch HW45 bronze star pistol and an Air Arms S400 carbine in .22".) Good review, thanks.
Fantastic review. Superb rifles! I’ve got a .22 and love it. You hit it on the nail about no need for bottles or pumps to keep these Quality rifles going.
Thanks for bringing out these great reviews! 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍🏆🏆
Thanks very much Phil.
In my opinion, the tx 200 hc rifle is without doubt, the best production spring rifle ever made, the pro sport is equally as good, but it's not as user friendly (IMO).
I know the hw 97 and 77 are excellent, but the air arms have more refinement to them, and they are great for hunting just hold the ratchet button in when you cock the rifle you won't get the clicking sound .
Nice to see you review a few springers , keep it up Richard
More to come Ryan. Thanks for watching...

All ways sharing good stuffs with a lot of information. I like it
Thanks very much...
Hi Richard.
Thankyou for replying to my messages. In my humble opinion, the TX200 is an amazing air rifle. With the Weirhaurchs in mind, the TX for my money, shoulders so much better. The pistol grip area of the stock just falls into your hand. It's just amazing. So glad it's British, and showing what quality we can can produce.
I couldn't agree more Ian. And the great thing is that the more you shoot it, the more you'll appreciate it. Have fun!
Nice reviews Richard, I have a TX200 a Prosport a Walther LGU all in 177 and a HW77 with a 97 blue laminate stock in .22, plus a few PCP`s, but I find I get more satisfaction from shooting the springers, more concentration and a lot of fun, helps you forget everything else, just found your channel and subscribed so I shall be going through your other reviews, keep them coming.
Hi Lynden. Thanks very much. I hope you find our other videos interesting. You certainly have a great selection of springers there (jealous) and I agree with you that they are certainly more rewarding to shoot. PCPs can sometimes seem just a little too easy. I do an awful lot of pest control and for that PCPs are just better in my experience. But when it comes to shooting for fun and for the challenge, give me a springer every time. I've got a mk 1 HW80, my first proper gun, a Webley Vulcan mk 2 and a factory Tyrolean stock HW77 - all from the 70s and all tuned. They are the rifles I enjoy shooting most, along with an HW77K I bought just a few weeks ago. Stay safe and thanks for watching.
Nice one Richard! Haven't shot a Springer for 25years or more I used to find 22 smoother than 177 and used to think that was because things were happening slower and less erratic in the workings probably not the case nowadays, I would imagine I'd get a big surprise with the guns these days. Keep it up pal
Certainly different to the clanky old things I shot as a kid! Thanks for watching Michael.
Hello Richard Saunders, thanks for the review, I really like my HW97KT but the TX200 has always fascinated me, it is one of the most expensive on the market but I think it is worth it, cheers.
Yes, the 97KT is a great rifle too. I'm hoping to review one soon...Thanks for watching.
Hello from Gloucester Massachusetts a great review of a legend of a gun ! One point I have both the full length .177 &the HC .22 the HC is considerbly harder to cock . I tried turning The tx and the pro spot to 16 foot pounds both gun's like being in the 11 to 12 foot pound range much sweeter . Thanks again
I fitted mine with a short stroke kit which included various spacers to fine tune the muzzle energy. I found dropping from 11.7 to 10.5 foot-pounds made it nicer to shoot and improved my grouping. As ever, your mileage may vary.
Awesome review
Thanks very much Gerald.
Good review, very informative 👍
Thanks Dave. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
Just bought a tx 200 mk 3 , first proper rifle and I'm in love with it. Guess I made the right choice
I'd say you have too Jake. Enjoy 😉
Have just purchased one exactly the same as yours in .177 ( in walnut )
Beautiful rifle.
I'm sure you'll love it Richard.
Another honest cracking review richard of a very nice beautifully made rifle,
Thanks very much Malcolm. Happy new year...
Wow nice review
Thanks very much!
Hi Richard.Yes that’s a nice rifle too.
I think I prefer that one to the pro- sport.
Air Arms certainly make excellent quality rifles.
Great review👍🏻
Thanks very much Justin.
I considered the Pro Sport but found the sharper edges to the under-lever less comfortable than the TX.
Nice video. Love my TX 200 MK III in .177 caliber full power. They are so incredibly accurate and fun to shoot.
Do you like the TX200 over the HW97K do you think its a all around better gun to own.
@@johnnyventurino8947 I don’t own the HW97. But with talking to my fellow Airgunners, I think the two are equal.
@@johnnyventurino8947 I considered the Weihrauch. Reviews suggest that there seems little to choose between the HW and the TX in either accuracy or shooting experience. Being a professional engineer, I looked up a few UA-cam videos on stripping both guns. The TX wins on strip-ability. (You can strip the action with a scope in place, a big plus if you choose to do it on the range.) I bought the TX and don't regret it.
I think that was a one-hole group, but the target kept dodging the wind. I was thinking of a springer, just in case the ability to gas up my PCP rifles becomes a problem. You sold me on which one!
You won't regret it Jerry!
oh its your cam zooming in!
I added one of these to my collection TODAY, I'v gotta stop watching your videos! 😰
I got a 2014 HC in .177 which has an added silencer either as standard or been adapted. What a beauty and what an accurate gun. I only put about 50 pellets thru it and was getting lovely groups at 25 metres.
Great video as always Richard and to anyone considering this rifle, just go buy it ASAP 👍
Sorry about that! But they are great rifles. I'm sure you won't regret it! Thanks for watching.
@@alphamilitaria2756 I can tell already it's gonna become a favourite! Your videos really do help but I honestly must stop watching as my collection is finally complete.... 😜 Oh, and this TX I got is in walnut too, it's far more attractive than my missus
That wind was indeed moving your target a bit, so that considered, the rifle performed remarkably well, and so did the shooter!
Very kind Paul. TBH the rifle is capable of much more than I was able to show on the day!
Good watch. Would love to see you review a hw95k. My favourite sporting spring rifle
On the list Luke! Thanks for watching.
Great rifle the hw95k I get pellet on pellet at 35 yards
@@1stinlastout165 It certainly is. Probably the best break barrel right now...Thanks for watching.
Nice review. 👍
Picked up my TX200HC yesterday.
Looking forward to getting to know it and finding it’s favourite pellets.
First impressions:- The stock and blueing are gorgeous.
It has a fair ole boing but I’ve read that these do. 😁
I'm jealous 😁. Just interested - but did our video influence you at all?
@@alphamilitaria2756 it did help me. And thank you 🙏
I wanted a spring rifle I can happily control vermin with, but also enjoy some target work, possibly even some target competitions in the N Wales area.
I’m happy I’ve now got a tool that will do all jobs well.
Keep up the great work. 👍
@@BionicRusty I'm glad we could help. You've picked an ideal rifle for the job!
@@alphamilitaria2756 Thank you. Take care. 👍👍
I have tried a number of different pellets in my .177" TX and found it not particularly fussy. The ones which work best for me are:
*Round nose:*
Air Arms Diabolo Field (4.52)
JSB Diabolo Exact
*Wadcutter:*
Air Arms Diabolo Match
QYS Training Grade
RWS R10
Cant beat the hw97 great show richard
:) its a tough one isn't it? I hope to review one soon. Thanks for watching.
Yes you can, great comment though.
Good looking, and I dare say wonderfully engineered, but I just don't hear Cavatina playing (in my head) like I do when I look at the Pro Sport.
Thank you for showing.
You old romantic!
@@alphamilitaria2756 :-).
I've just got a .22 TX200 with silencer and Hikko scope for £150.
Only bad point the stock is wrong way round for me so i will round off the top a bit.
Had to buy it at that price 😁
Hi Richard.
Thankyou for your great, informative, interesting TX200 review.
I'm tickled pink Air Arms, a British company have shown the way in terms of making fantastic quality air rifles. I think it absolutely great Air Arms have manufactured a spring air rifle that doesn't require tuning.
I totally do not agree, when you buy something and pay alot of money for it, it should then require tuning and messing with plus spending even money Surely, should the rellevent manufacturers not be doing this?
Hats off to the Germans, usually their goods are bullet proof, and I can see that if they are selling so many units, they won't halt production just to smear some grease or to polish.
Just so glad the English are leading the way in airgun manufacture and enjoying life where they should be.
I'd love to hear what you think Richard.
Best wishes, Ian.
Thanks very much Ian. Air Arms certainly do produce some great rifles and their springers are about as good as they get. Like anything else though, they are made to a budget and, good as they are, some professional tuning will always make a difference. Walther made the LGV and LGU which were sold as pre-tuned and I understand they featured many of the after market tweaks as standard. They were certainly excellent rifles but sadly no longer made. Thanks for watching.
i miss using my combo of a glock 17 gen 4 air pistol and my break barrel rifel with my custom scope
Oh my, I am almost 4 months late to view this review. I came here as I'm looking at Air Rifles again. Now, I am in a quandary as to which to buy this Air Arms or the Weihrauch HW97.
Either way, I want to buy .177 caliber.
Good review Richard, Thank you again.
Sorry about that Reg! I don't think you'll be disappointed either way. They are both extremely accurate. Good luck choosing!
@@alphamilitaria2756 Ah yes, decisions, decisions, as they say! :)
I have the full length in walnut ,had the best tune possible from the rat works ..not had much chance to use it ...cant wait for a day on the range
You and me both Mark. Not long now I hope! Thanks for watching.
Please give update on rifle performance after the ratworks tune mate as seriously looking on sending my rifle there, any info wud be mega cheers
@@squidstoe1994 I can't say what improvements it made exactly, because I'd hardly used it before I sent it off for the tune ,what I can say about it is its very accurate, example ,50 yards I was hitting the same spot for at least 8 shots, I wasn't sure I was doing it until the mark I made ended up like a four leaf clover ..I was thinking am I really hitting that in the same spot, pellet on pellet ...also its not got much of a kick ,I can stay on target without loss of sight after a shot, again not sure if It was capable of that before due to lack of use ,but it's shit hot now ..only thing I was disappointed with was the rat works logo wasn't available at the time I had it tuned, but I think they do it now ...150 quid it was ,given there reputation it can only have been improved , hope that's helpful
@@markveganism5003 more than helpfull mate many thanks
@@squidstoe1994 good luck .👍
Great video as always mate. I’m on the HW97 side, but both great guns!
Thanks JC. I wouldn't argue against the HW97 either - great gun. They all are...
@@alphamilitaria2756Very true. And there lies the problem. Too many great guns. Not enough💰
No they're not the TX is far better.
JC you prefer the HW97k over the TX200. Can you tell me why because im up in the air on buying either one of them real soon.
@@johnnyventurino8947 Hi. Nothing more than personal preference. I’ve had both guns and would always go for the 97. I just prefer the way it shoulders and the trigger, but both are great guns. If I could I’d add a Prosport to my collection and a HW95K.
Thanks for the video, lovely rifle. I think the question of barrel alignment with break-barrels,usually doesn't happen with quality makes. The HW's and BSA's of this world and other makes always lock up beautifully and are not a problem. And they are easier to load. Like the look of undercover though.
I think he meant that they can misalign rather than they will misalign. It’s impossible to misalign a single solid piece is what he was getting at
i have hatsan 55s,30 cm barrel and 30 meters group is 1 cm max
100 euro rifle,gas ram and beauty
due to the cost of repairs to a PCP rifle and the aftermarket parts and products available for the tx200 to fit full skirt pistons and 23mm thick coil spring that are longer so I use the same company as I have for the last 5 years and my tx200 mk3 kills pigeons at 70 yards and it's consistently hitting 880fps and the underlever let's you use their very good 10 shot magazine
Some people moan about the bear trap as they find it annoying, i'll rather have my thumb anyday than losing it due to a silly mistake 👍got a tx200 myself, love the rifle.
I'm with you on that. Great rifle. Thanks for watching.
I still have one slightly differently shaped fingernail from an accident with a break-barrel fifty years ago. Fortunately it was a 5 foot-pound Webley and I still have my finger end. I never put a digit in my TX without a firm hold on the under-lever.
Man that auto focus sound is bad ! love the gun.
Great wee gun Awsome job done with it great episode
👍 👍 👍 😜 🏴 🦄 🎣 😁 🤞 ✌️
Thanks very much!
That gun is a thing of beauty I sometimes wish ide bought it now as bagnels up Newcastle showed me one with a custom stock for £500 and it was beautiful but me been me I drove all that way 95k so that is what I came home with ,🤷 mabe Ile buy one of them later mabe
I'm sure you wouldn't regret it Patrick. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the review. I have watched this and your pro sport review. Can I ask which is your preferred rifle. Cheers. Marcus
Hi Marcus. Thanks very much. In all honesty, I'd find it really hard to choose between them (I suspect that might be the problem you have right now!). Neither one would be a bad or wrong decision as they are both excellent rifles - very accurate, full power and well made. I like the full bore rifle lines of the ProSport but the cocking action on the TX200 is slightly easier, although it does have a bit of a ratchet. That's not really a problem unless you're hunting, and then not a huge one. It really comes down to which one you like the look of most and whether you have the budget to pay more for the ProSport. I'm sorry that's not much help!
@@alphamilitaria2756 If you are hunting, just hold down the bear trap release button while you cock the gun. No ratchet noise. I considered the Pro Sport but found the sharper edges of the cocking lever less comfortable and bought the TX. Not an issue for a dozen shots while you are out hunting but I do target shooting and will shoot 50-60 shots in an evening.
Do they make a pellet loader tool for that gun. I find it incredibly difficult to put a pellet in that tight space with my fingers.
Great shooting, 1 click down on the scope ud have been in the bull with that group
You're right! Must have been dodgy pellets😆. Thanks for watching.
enjoy your springer reviews. not many good springers left ...
You're right. Unfortunately there are lots of springers around but only a few are any good. I think that part of the problem is that people are used to shooting PCPs and they expect PCP-level accuracy and performance from their springer. Even cheap PCP will outperform most springers.
@@alphamilitaria2756 Springers definitely require a different skill set to shoot well. After 9 months I am only truly getting the hang of my TX. I had been spoiled by decades of shooting PCPs and rimfires.
Can anyone remember the recoiless tx that air arms made,I think it was made in the mid to late 90s , it was aimed at the ft shooters of the time.
SR
👍
After you replied to me recently I bought an FAC TX200 in 0.22 and quite I,pressed with it. I tested it first with H & N Field Trophy but the Hunter Extreme although heavier have a flatter trajectory and despatched cleanly a rabbit at 40yds and another at 60. Even at 60 there was a complete pass through rib cage lungs and heart. I would like to try the 217 21g slugs but not much choice in my rural area hence I ask if you perchance tried any and if so what were the results please? Also which brand of pellet etc is reputed to work best as the long range accuracy of the extreme much better than the Field Trophy which give the impression of being slightly oversize when trying to chamber
Hi Derek. Great that you are pleased with your rifle and putting it to good use. I'm not sure what ft/lbs your TX200 is but the generally accepted wisdom is that you'll need 40 ft/lbs + to really extract the benefits of slugs. Slugs can also be a little fussy, requiring often small changes to velocity which you're unlikely to be able to achieve on a springer no matter hwo good it is. By all means, try some slugs out - I'd suggest that the lighter the better - but also try some different pellets (brands and weights). Spend some time on the range to see how they group at different distances and go from there. 60 yards is what I'd consider to be extreme hunting range with a 20 something ft/lb rifle. Your range limit should be whatever distance you can put five pellets inside an inch (possibly a little less) from the positions you would normally shoot from when hunting. In other words - its all very well shooting great groups at 60 yards sat down with the rifle rested, but you're unlikely to be doing that when hunting. Once you know the extreme range you and your rifle are competent at you can focus on bushcraft to close in on prey to that distance. Good luck.
Recently hit a pigeon at 75 yards with the mk3 tx200hc .177 out of the box using a 4x12 50mm Hawke fast mount. Goes to show you dont need all these top scopes.
Hi it or killed it cleanly?
Amazing how a $700 under lever groups versus my $200 break barrel
Expeart shooter , same hole all ten ! That good is this English gun !
Well...no quite that good David but thanks for saying. And not too bad on a breezy, cold day stood at the back of my truck in a muddy field. The rifle is certainly better than the shooter! Thanks for watching.
Hi Richard I really like your reviews very informative.
But FYI your camera's auto focus noise is really annoying!
Thanks Paul. I know. Not much I can do about that I'm afraid!
Out of the TX200 or the HW97K which one do you think is better because I want to buy one of the 2 I said.
Hi Johnny. You won't be disappointed with either as they are both great rifles. It comes down to which one you like the most as they are both capable of great accuracy. If you get the chance to shoulder them you will find one feels 'more right' than the other. Sorry I can't help further...
Would love to try one of these but the bear trap design rifles scares the crap out of me. Putting a finger in that slot!
Hi. There anti-bear trap is there to protect your fingers. Its a safety feature.
You soon get used to the bear trap. There are actually three notches on it. I pull mine just past the first notch and insert a breech flag during target changes on the range. Always keep your hand firmly on the under-lever while your hand is in the breech though.
AA blueing still the nicest. Had one of the first out. Only reason I sold it was the weight and a traditional sling is difficult to fit. Also would spoil the looks. QUESTIONS. Is anyone using a tactical gun sling ? Can it cope with the weight ? Is it practical ? If anyone replies to these questions, I am half hoping it is all negative. Otherwise I am about to relive my youth, and be £500 poorer.
Should never have got rid of it, still got my mk1 tx200
TX200.., second best springer after the Pro Sport..., IMHO😎
No argument there, though HW97 and HW77 fans may disagree! Thanks for watching.
@@alphamilitaria2756 HW fans are similar to Arsenal supporters, when talking about Liverpool or Manchester City.
Sir can you make review of diana 54 and welther lgu spring air gun
Hi Muhammad. Too many guns and not enough time! I'll add the Diana to the list. Unfortunately the Walther LGU is no longer made which is a shame because it is a fantastic rifle - heavy, but fantastic. Thanks for watching.
Hi brother .is tx 200 and prosport does same only leaper Made difern ?.
Hi. There are more differences than simply the lever as I understand. But both a excellent rifles and I'd find it difficult to say which of the two is best...
Now that you've reviewed both the TX200 and Pro Sport, which one would you choose, and why? I'm really keen to get the TX200 HC. I like the look of the Pro Sport but it's more expensive. Thanks!
Hi Carlo. Thanks for watching. In all honesty, I found they performed pretty much exactly the same at a high level. They were almost identical in terms of firing action as well. The TX was slightly easier to cock. Its very hard to say one is a better rifle than the other. I think it comes down to which one you like the look of the most and what your budget is. Its unlikely you'll be disappointed either way. Sorry I can't be more definitive than that.
@@alphamilitaria2756 Thank you. That's good to know. Now, I just need to come up with the money... :)
Hi Richard . I’ve just purchased a TX200 in .22 . I have found that Air Arms Diablo fields are a really tight fit in the breech and are not grouping as well as Accupells . Do you think the AA’s will improve , as I run the gun in ?
Which is a better hunter the tx200hc, the hw97k or the hw77k? I live outside the UK so I would get the full power versions, thanks for the video!
You're welcome Fernando. It very hard to say which is the best of these three rifles as they are all very similar in terms of performance - extremely accurate and beautifully made. It really comes down to which rifle appeals most to you. If you can, see them all first hand, pick them up, put them in your shoulder and one will stand out more than the others. But no wrong decision here. Good luck!
@@alphamilitaria2756 thanks for the quick answer!
👍😎💖
Had 1 sold it was soo loud when shooting would scare everything within a mile radius.
Really? I can't say I found it any louder than most other springers I use, and a good deal quieter thank most. Thanks for watching.
@@alphamilitaria2756 yes it’s a very accurate gun indeed shoots nice but the noise when loading with the ratchet system and because it’s on call bearings inside the action makes it too loud compared to my 110k
@@allgood6535 Ah, yes, there is a bit of a ratchet on the cocking action. I thought you meant noise when you fired. The HW110 is a great PCP.
I’m looking to get a ProSport or this gun. Which one do you think is quieter?
I'd say they are about the same. The TX200 is perhaps a little noisier on the cocking stroke. Thanks for watching.
@@alphamilitaria2756 Thank you
hw 97 kt next please as im looking at buying the tx or kt im a torn man
I'll do my best Andy. Not sure it will make the decision any easier though! Thanks for watching.
@@alphamilitaria2756 also curious, which one is better? hw97 or tx200? and also .17 or .22? can only afford to buy one.
@@samhsn3372 Hi Sam. This is always a tough one. Its like asking someone if they want a Ferrari or Lamborghini. Both rifles are excellent, two of the best springers made. Both are capable of putting pellets on top of each other and are a delight to shoot. It really comes down to which one you want the most - heart over head. The TX200 probably looks better in my opinion thanks to the fishtail chequering, but the HW97K has some adjustability in the butt pad. If you can, put both in your shoulder and see which one feels better for you. With regards to .177 or .22, it really depends what you plan to use the rifle for. 177 is flatter than a .22 which makes hold over and under at different distances easier to figure out. Personally I prefer to hunt with .177 at 12 ft. lbs. Don't believe the nonsense about .22 having more knock down power. It may well do, but it won't compensate a poorly placed pellet. Regardless of the calibre you use, you need to place your shot precisely. We did a video that compared the trajectories of the two calibres which might help. Good luck! .ua-cam.com/video/lpJSHNhU5_M/v-deo.html
TX every time, no contest and don't let anyone tell you there is.
Can you explain a bear bottom before you can shoot. I've owned TX220. Bear button I don't see the need. Can't just use safety catch. Cheers pal.
Hi Daniel. Do you mean the anti-bear trap? (I'm really not sure why its called that!). Its an internal mechanism in addition to the safety catch designed to prevent the underlever flying up when you've cocked the rifle but haven't returned the underlever. Some break barrels have them as well. Its intended to prevent any nasty accidents resulting from fingers caught in the loading port or between the underlever and bottom of the stock. In terms of firing the rifle you never need to worry about it, just push the safety catch in and off you go. The one drawback with an anti-bear trap is that you cannot de-cock the rifle. So if you have a pellet in the breach, the only way you can get rid off it is to shoot it into the ground or anywhere else that is safe. I hope I understood you correctly and please let me know if not.
@@alphamilitaria2756 called an anti bear trap because it prevents you fingers getting caught like in an actual spring loaded bear trap.
Hi Richard What a really nice gun . The recoil seems to be very light ,almost like a gas ram. Cant make up my mind about a 97 or that one.
Hi Joseph. Yes, it is very light. The firing action is incredibly smooth. The HW97 is a great gun too and performs just as well. Its a little heavier. I think it comes down to which gun you like the look of and budget. Thanks for watching and taking the time to write a comment. Rich
All depends if you are a brit ,or a sausage eating kraut, TX all day long, had dozens of rifles come and go over the years and the only one I will never get rid of is my mk1 TX200, none of the anti bear trap nonsense either.
As a left handed shooter, is this rifle still ok for me? I cant see anything to suggest i wouldnt still find it comfortable
Hi Nathan - you can get a left-handed stock TX200 in walnut. It'll cost you an extra £20...
I have a lefty tx200 and can shoot it easily with either hand
Is it more expensive for us lefties ? As that's the only thing it would put me off out of printable, I have a hw95 but was considering the hw97 !
HI. I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think so, at least not significantly more expensive. Thanks for watching. The HW97K is an awesome rifle, as is the HW77. And Air Arms recently announced it will be offering a left hand version of the ProSport as well.

When I looked, the left hand stock was only available in walnut, very slightly more than the right hand version. If you wanted beech you would have to settle for right hand. I missed out on the Ultimate Springer which came out a month after I bought mine. I would have gone for that as I'm a sucker for a laminate stock.

The review rifle was a .177. I hope you manage to find one soon! Thanks for watching.

Tx200 mk1 shooting @30ftlb 22 pigeon pulvirisor gas ram fac I'd put it against an fx
I find only the beech in stock at the moment..Should I buy it or w8 for the walnut?
Where are you based Nikitas? The beech stock is lovely but I think I'd have walnut personally.
@@alphamilitaria2756 I live in Greece. The only problem is that walnut stock has a delay on delivery for about 3 months! So I don't know if I should w8 that long ...
@@nikitassoulounias4240 That would be a long three months! Not sure I could handle that!
@Alpha Militaria I couldn't handle it either... I just bought it today in .22 Fac!
@@nikitassoulounias4240 had a beach stock om my tx since 1993, look after it and it will last a life time.
How does that compare to the TX200HC if you have had the chance to try one? I want to buy one soon but can't decide between the MK111 and the HC. Would like your insight on it. Thanks.
Hi Kerry. The honest truth is that they are both excellent and there is no difference between them when it comes to performance - they are as accurate as each other and share the same internals. The HC is a tiny bit lighter, and a little shorter obviously. The full length may be a little easier to cock, but neither take a lot of effort. It really comes down to what you like the look and feel of. Personally, I'd have the HC, but if I went to the shop and they only had full length in stock I wouldn't be upset. All the best, and thanks for watching.
@@alphamilitaria2756 Thank you so much for your reply. Great videos and information.
@@kerrylittle3900 Thanks very much for the nice comment Kerry. And please feel free to contact us on enquiries@alphamilitaria.com any time.
@@alphamilitaria2756 Thank you for the help. The shop where I get my guns has had theAir Arms shipment delayed by many months because of Covid. Their shipment finally arrived last week and now there is a recall on the trigger mechanisms. So they have to wait again on replacement parts. I was hoping to pick one up very soon but now have no idea how long it will take to get the parts. Must be a safety issue or something. Have you heard anything about it?
@@kerrylittle3900 Hi Kerry. I can't say I have. Have you tried Sportsman Gun Centre? They seem to have just about everything in stock...?
I love the TX200 but boy they weigh a ton. Too heavy for me 😟 But at least I'm big enough to admit it
wood is walnut?
Hi. There are beech and walnut options (02:04). The rifle in the video is the walnut stock. Thanks for watching.
@@alphamilitaria2756 There are 2 types of Walnut. AA and R / H
Can you provide a link from the store?
Hi...I love this tx200 airrifle♥️
Please give me a good suggestion😊
1)👉Air Arms TX200 MK3 vs Air Arms TX200 HC
Which of these 2 models is more powerful & which is better for accuracy long-range shooting?
2)Which of these 2 models is heavier?
3)What weight / weight is lighter to carry outside?
4) imean= best accuracy for long-range_grouping/ velocity_powerfull. 💪
Not Recoil/less vibration/noice (50 to 70 metar shooting)
5) Wich is old model tx200? and Wich New model tx200?🤔?.....
6)One of these for me. I Need a good air rifle 😊
Hi and thanks for watching:
1. There is no difference in terms of power output from the two rifles as they share the same internals. In the UK, that means 12 ft lbs. FAC rifles go up to 18 ft.lbs.
2. The Prosport is slightly heavier, but either way you're looking at around 4 kgs, or a tiny but more. Both are very well balanced though and similar weight to the HW77 and HW97, which are to main alternatives. The weight also suppresses recoil.
3. No real difference on weight for carrying around outside. I've used both for hunting and found them comfortable enough to carry about.
4. No real difference between the two - they are both extremely capable.
5. The current model TX200 is the mk 3, available as the HC (Hunter Carbine) and rifle.
6. You'll be hard-pressed to find a better springer.
Good luck!
@@alphamilitaria2756 Ok thanks for the Ripley.. and thank you sir🤝
😊
@@alphamilitaria2756 Actually I want good under liver airrifle for hunting = (outside) rabbit & pigeon and small game hunting.....😊
Which good Sir ? 🤔
Tx200 is shrouded barrel 👌 nice...
Hw97k vs Airarms tx200 vs hw77
Please reply .....?
@@rkgroup7671 Sorry its taken me a day or two to reply. In all honesty, all there's very little between these four rifles and the Prosport in terms of accuracy, performance and weight (all are excellent). Much will come down to your budget and the rifle you want the most. Personally, I'd choose the Prosport over the TX200 simply because it is quieter to cock, which is a consideration when hunting. And I'd have the HW7 over the HW97 (not sure why). The two Air Arms share much of the same mechanics, as do the two HWs. There's no wrong/bad choice here. All are excellent rifles. If you can, try to handle as many of them as you can. Good luck!
Silver screen…. Wow
Verry nice Rifle,i See it and love it.
Who can buy this gun?
Thanks for this great Video 👌
Thanks for watching Frank.
At sub 12ft it doesnt make a difference.
A HW80 would hit the same power and accuracy as the tx200 hc and pro sport while being £500 cheaper. I had a tx200hc and now got a used hw80 for £215 and i see no difference except the tx200hc looks better
So there is a difference?
@alphamilitaria2756 you tell me.. is there a difference between a hw80 and a tx200 hc at ranges from 5 to 30 yards 😂
Try using an off-camera mic please!

Where can I buy?
Hi Robert. Where do you live?
@@alphamilitaria2756 california usa
@@robertvaldez109 are you always so lazy as to ask a youtuber clearly in a difference country where to buy something? A simple search shows many places to get them.
Yes but this rifle has only 16 joule of the potence
Unless you get the 24 J version.
@@alphamilitaria2756 Why exist one type of the 24 j version??
@@cesare307 Sorry Cesare, I'm not sure I understand. The TX200 is available in 12, 15 and 18 ft/lbs.
Colombi doesn't kill them though Doves yes, pigeons other birds, but wild pigeons no. Maybe because they are tough

That grouping , not the best.
Clearly not in your league Rob. Sorry about that. Please show us how it's done...
WTF is that sound?
Camera auto focus. 😂
what's that sound like messing with mic all time annoying if got headphones on good vid but had find another sorry m8 thumbs down from Me
I think its the auto focus on the camera. I hope you found the information helpful because that, at the end of the day, is what I am focused on. Thanks for watching.
No accurate.
Perhaps you're just a brilliant shot and hold us all to a higher standard.
