I did not like, the accuracy varies widely, is heavy, the trigger is very hard, does not compare with the CFX deer for example. Do not recommend buying the buck recommend CFX 4.5 with closed eyes, optimum accuracy. (read more)

“Stunning and beautiful rifle!”
Written on: 31/05/2012 by fonestar (2 reviews written)
I replaced my Weihrauch HW50 with this rifle and I am extremely impressed! Weihrauch makes a damn fine rifle, so I was somewhat sad to see it go, that is until my TX200HC arrived. The TX200HC is built to old world standards. This is something that was obviously designed, assembled and finished by people who actually care about their company's name. The walnut stock is well selected and finished, the grain has nice character and the fish checkering adds a nice touch of class as well. The... (read more)

Huh? You would rather shoot a BSA than an Air Arms rifle?? BSAs are built in Spain these days and no different than Gamo or Hatsan.

I purchased a TX200HC a couple of weeks back. It is a MK3 and second hand with a decent Tasco scope and cost me £200. I have had various air rifles over the years but this is by far the best one of the lot. It has unbelievable power (last test showed 11.9 fbs). I want to get a silencer and it does have a loud bang when firing and the thing is pretty heavy so not really suited for youngsters. Accuracy is consistent and the weight actually helps with keeping the gun still when... (read more)

Does anyone have a reason why I should get the long barrelled version as opposed to the HC? Seems the HC is as good in every respect and a bit lighter/better balanced?

Well, where do I begin. I actually recommended a TX200 to a friend of mine who was getting into the hobby, he is the sort of guy who wants the best and as the HW97 only came as a carbine I recommended the TX. Anyway, I was very impressed with the performance and it was so much lighter than my HW77. A member on a forum I am involved with was looking for a swap for his TX and I offered my HW, the deal was done and we exchanged rifles. I was initially distressed by its condition, but its...

Hmmm, you sure it wasn't the user... I don't see how one of the two best spring guns on the market could perform so badly unless it was in the hands of someone who didn’t know how to use it.

Sorry Chap, but comparing a TX to an Air magnum, is like comparing a fine wine with a cheap ale. The TX is the best springer you can buy for the money, and the Air Magnum is just a kids plinking toy.

A 620fps .22 plinking toy, with lothar barrel..modern poly stock and £300 odd to buy...have you shot one? There are some fantastic guns out there of all types,just because you bought one type doesn't detract from others..however TomTheTank does appear to be a knob...

Sorry my friend but the air magnum is barely better than a QB78, cheap (though not to buy) plasticky and thoroughly nasty. 620fps is very good for such a toy but I'm afraid not in the same league as the TX. and yes I have shot one, the only good feature being the cocking action.
In my opinion a tacky toy

Hey.....NITRO...I'll try and live with it ? Plastic,like what comes from the future after we stopped using wood.Do you seriously think that the 850 wouldn't be right up there with a wooden stock? So try the wooden stock option Nitro..It's not tacky,you will love the heavy solid (only difference wood) version....The TX is a beautiful thing but the mechanism and lothar barrel on the 850 can compete..I tend to shoot more than polish I'm afraid.Enjoy your gun sir!

Sorry but I didnt see any 850's at the World Champs HFT at Kelmash so I cant comment on their abilities. I am commenting on the comparrison between and 850 and a TX.
As you say, I too, prefer to shoot air rifles in competition rather than polish them.
However I have polished them as well

The plastic stock is made from oil derived products that will not bio degrade, unlike wood. Yes it can be recycled but most plastic usually ends up in a landfill

This guy is a prime example of why you shouldn't take online reviews seriously! Nothing out there except Theoben, Feinwerkbau and a few others can compare to the quality of an Air Arms rifle. RWS doesn't even come close!

You're right..I do feel like a kid when I'm shooting my Magnum. It makes me smile no end, a great toy. If however I really want to be a caring,thoughtful individual like yourself I will buy a proper gun in order not to kill the planet...the Magnum 177 shoots as accurately and as powerfully as any Tx. Turning up to a competition with one will happen-what class would it be?How much opinionated nonsense would you have to take from people who know everything...looks are subjective,performance can be measured.While I blast everything with my 16 shots(you get two mags,but you know this)you take one carefully aimed shot and feel superior to others,superior like a Pro-Sport for example,instead of the peasanty tx you bum...

My mate who also owns a TX200 is only 10 stone and never been near a gym yet finds it no problem to use. You can stop the clicking of the anti-beartrap mechanism by holding in the release lever while cocking the underlever and releasing it before loading to maintain maximum safety.

the AIR ARMS springers are the best on the market the
tx200 range are one of the most used rifles in spinger class H.F.T the engineering of these rifles are outstanding and so is the Accuracy hitting a drawing pin at 50,yards is normal.
the prosport is even better take a look at a prosport and hold it and look at it is just stunning.

Dear Sir or Madam,
To me you just sound like an exceptionally poor shot. Perhaps it was the weight of the rifle, but everyone accepts the fact that because spring rifles recoil at the muzzle a slightly front heavy rifle is beneficial. Noone is trying to claim that this rifle it supossed to be lightweight hunter, if you want that try an HW 99s or an HW95k. I might suggest that you try some light strength training and also that you shoot more often. All this will help you aprecciate the full potential of this rifle, which is considerable. The tool does not make the artist.

I have a spinal injury and whilst I will admit there are lighter rifles out there I can see no reason why I would want one. My AA TX200 is about as good an air rifle needs to be. I was injured whilst at work (in a hot and dusty country our government saw fit to send me) and I missed shooting. Range work can be very relaxing and satisfying as can vermin culling and this rifle (mine is the .177) will take out both fur and feather with ease. I found you 6.4 20 stone description somewhat worrying as if you are concerned about carrying 10lbs think about how well you would feel losing a couple of stone, you can afford to as you are carrying a good 4 stone over the recommended.....so....what is too heavy the rifle or the extra weight that weighs you down every moment of the day. I have managed to lose over 2 stone I put on post injury and I can barely walk 10 yards without severe pain & can do do little or no exercise.....it can be done and afterwards this truly exquisite rifle will feel considerably lighter and maybe your aim will increase too as your energy increases......I now step down (with help of my walking stick) & offer the soap box to the next surprised Air Arms user....

Written on: 25/04/2010
Pros:
The accuracy and consistancy is outstanding, especially when you compare it to other "springer" rifles on the market and even though I'm still running mine in (only put about 700 pellets through it so far) the action and reloading cycle is very smooth. The manufacturers trigger settings were great, and didn't need any adjustment as it matched my shooting style perfectly.
Cons:
I will admit that this rifle isn't the lightest available (especially after you add scope + mounts etc), so...

Written on: 01/04/2010
Fancied a springer for HFT to compliment my AA S400C (too easy to shoot accurately). After much deliberation between TX & HW97, plumped for the TX as saved couple of hundred quid.
So far have found it to be very accurate (<1/2" @ 35 yds off a rest), reasonably quiet, comfortable to hold although a little front heavy, simple to cock and load,quality finish on metal work and stock. Typical AA finish. Don't think I'll be selling this one for a long time. Bring on the HFT course!

I bought the TX200HC rifle in walnut and just love it dearly. The walnut grain is gorgeous to look at. I own the TX200 MKIII in beech .22 and like the carbine version better for lightness and balance. There is a difference between the two. My .22 caliber carbine shoots a consistent 698-700 fps so I am happy with that. My TX200 MKIII shoots the same fps so no loss with the shorter carbine barrel.

I bought this rifle to get back into airgunning after a 2 year break. I have previously owned a couple of HW's, webleys, and theobens, aswell as a couple of pcp's, but spring guns seem to draw me back as they have a lot of "soul".

I have owned my TX200HC for 3 weeks now and I have to admit it is a very easy to use and very accurate rifle. I love it but I am unhappy with the finish. The rifle barrel is starting to look pitted and showing rust spots even although the rifle has never been wet and is oiled and kept in a warm room after use. The stock has a small bit of damage at the recoil pad which is unfinished. Even allowing for this I will be hanging on to it because I like it so much. (read more)

Written on: 25/07/2008 by Varx (1 review written)
Make sure you fit scope mounts with a pin that can use one of the three mount holes incorporated in the gun, otherwise you may find your scope getting closer and closer to your eye after a while. I fitted such mounts but still found the scope moving along it's tube. Tighten as much as you dare, then keep a check. I was a bit suprised by this movement as the gun is quite heavy and recoil seems tame and minimal. I'm using twin bolted (16 hex bolts in total) pinned BSA mounts which looked... (read more)

My TX200HC .177 is just a magnificent rifle in every respect. I added a Parker Hale silencer for cosmetic appearance and length and use a Bushnell 4-14x50 Scopechief riflescope. I could nor recommend this rifle more highly to anyone looking for a top quality, no-nonsense spring rifle for hunting or target shooting, or both! I cannot honestly fault it in any way! (read more)

Written on: 19/10/2007 by Glider (2 reviews written)
I got my .22 TX200CH in March this year, but held off writing a review until I had some experience with it (which means I can write a review of the rifle, rather than just an attempt to rationalise my spending so much on my limited budget).
It is not a cheap rifle, but that's the point. Nothing about this rifle is 'cheap'. As many have said, the build quality, finish and attention to detail are outstanding. Again, as many have said, it performs like a tuned springer straight out of the box,...

I have a .177 MKIII, and I wanted to add something that I'm always surprised to hear many TX owners don't know. You can de-cock the rifle using the following procedure (for those rare instances where you can't squeeze off that last shot and don't want to leave the mainspring compressed):
<br/>
<br/>1). Fully cock the rifle to ensure the automatic safety is engaged, leaving the cocking lever in the fully open position.
<br/>2). Release the safety and pull the trigger. This fires the gun, but the anti-beartrap will catch the sliding breech, preventing the mainsprig from decompressing. You shouldn't hear much more than the click of the trigger releasing, but if you keep some pressure on the cocking lever throughout this release, the short distance the breech travels to the first anti-beartrap groove will be controlled and you won't end up stressing the anti-beartrap device.
<br/>3). Now put just a slight bit of tension on the cocking lever - enough that you can release the anti-beartrap but not enough to re-engage the safety - and slowly decock the rifle. There will be mainspring pressure against the cocking linkage, so be very careful not to let go of the cocking handle.
<br/>
<br/>- Orin

Written on: 05/10/2007 by pellhead (6 reviews written)
Among .177 springers, this is the main "keeper". And since current .22 springers don't offer the flat ballistics of high 900's feet per second, this is my overall keeper even though I have two .22's that deliver 840 fps with normal weight (14.5 gr) pellets at the 22 fpe level. I like to shoot at 1.25 inch circles at 50 yards from an armchair (no direct, sandbag rest), and this one will hit more consistently than any other of several reputable, current and classic guns I enjoy. 4 out of 5 in...

Written on: 02/10/2007 by morgange (1 review written)
After 16 years with a BSA meteor i decided to get a new gun, After looking around i decided on an AA TX200HC.
The weight and safety mechanisms took some getting use to but the accuracy and penetrative power far outweighed any negatives.
The accuracy is something i was surprised with, after zeroing in the sights i was soon hitting the centre of the target (1") at 20 yards with each shot.
I stood 10 5p coins on a bag and did not miss a single shot!! (using bipod) I use AA field pellets and...

Did you fully cock the rifle, theres a final length at the end of the cocking level that sets the trigger and auto safety. After setting that the rifle will fire.

Written on: 02/08/2007 by Carlov (13 reviews written)
I have always preferred the concept of the self contained power plant of the spring gun: Too many failed pneumatics over the years. I have had a MK1 TX200 for about 14 years and won a few competitions with it. Recently a friend bought a TXHC in .22 and allowed me to have a play. It put my .177 MK1 (with MK 11 internals) to shame. I had to have one.
The stock is lifted above the competition by the detailing added by laser etching and the pistol grip embellishment. This wasn't a factor for me...

Have fitted an external silencer for hunter as it was a little big to noisy but nothing major.
I use a Hawke 9x40 scope as i find its less hassle when hunting.

Written on: 27/06/2007 by Ellis 22 (2 reviews written)
The TX HC is a joy to shoot, it shoots very smoothly like at tuned spring gun, it's very accurate with low recoil. It's a good gun for hunting but is a bit on the heavy side and is a little front heavy compared to other springers I've had, but I'm sure this one could out shoot them all! Loading pellets can be a bit tricky in the field on a cold day but all in all this is a great springer and a pleasure to shoot. (read more)
