TX200 mk3 use

[Dr B]

Speaking generally and based on what I've read on other forums and chats with fellow shooters, it seems that the Tx will shoot straight from the box - really well.
The HWs these days seem to need stripping down, little bit of fettling and lube - and then they are excellent.
I personally prefer AA as they are top drawer from the box and need little work to improve them - in fact most shoot them as standard - though improvements can be had.

Is there an advantage to have a .22 cal TX200 ?


I can only use the .177 cal in my shooting league for competition.

I only have .177 TX's, the count is now 7. I suppose a .22 pellet is a bit easier to handle if you aren't very dexterous in the fingers.

I have both a .22 and a .177 Tx200 mk3 and wouldn't trade them for a HW97, I prefer the challenge of shooting the .22 well at distance but the .177 is more accurate in general... I suspect that going from the X5 to a TX200 will be a joyful experience, they simply help you to improve your shooting by a mile... The trigger is good to start with but can be adjusted down very light and crisp without being unsafe.
As mentioned before ,they are a dream to strip down and tune if you like that sort of thing. Quality of the Bluing is superb as is the whole look and feel of the gun .
Once you get used to the anti-beartrap release button cocking and loading is much the same as a HW97 if a little noisier .
My advice is buy a Tx200 in .177 now because if you don't and buy one years down the line or get to use another shooters TX you will kick yourself for not getting one sooner.
The HW97k would be my second choice with the Walther LGU a close third ,at this level its all about the trigger for me .

I almost pulled the trigger and bought a HW97K,
Still haven't found another gun that I enjoy more than my TX200 MKIII.
Getting ready for my league to start up and compete again.
