    Okay my interest is fully awakened to a TX 200 so I am popping back to the RFD tomorrow, time allowing, to take a closer look at the two guns he has in stock.Both guns are .22 which is fine and both are 250 quid and I think both are carbine. One has this naff AGS scope but apart from that, what do I need to look for as I have no knowledge of these guns and is the price about right. Any advice would be most welcome guys. Oh yes, one other thing, if I buy one of these guns and we find it is not so sweet, just how big a job is it to tune and who could do it. Phil

    Must admit that they group really well in my HW100 .177 but strangely the H&N Baracuda Match, supposedly the same pellet just was not as good. Phil

    You are a tease Matt

    Well Simon and Jimmy, it looks like we have a plan. Thanks to you both, just hope your trip Jimmy doesn't fall when I am away. Not sure if I can get a gun before then, cost of holiday and all that but whatever, I am really looking forward to this one chaps. I am now going to settle down and read your pinned post Simon. Phil

    As it says 25mts which is why I am not bothering with them. 15mm at 60yds, well you are just too good at this Mitch. Phil

    FX Wildcat, in fact, i have a feeling all the new models from FX are regulated. Phil

    Ooooh this is getting interesting. I am up for that Jimmy if Simon is okay with it, a great opportunity to meet you both, I am however off to Suffolk on the 14th for a week, fishing, clay shooting and air rifle shooting. The RFD that I was in today has two TX200 in stock both second hand at around £250 each although I am sure it said more than that o the ticket.........must check it out. No problems with a car, I am still very much on the road mate. Thanks Jimmy for a cracking idea. Phil

    Many congratulations Mac, as Simon said 'RFD's delight'. Get him off with a proper starter..........GAT Phil

    Thanks for your comments guys but I think as my only springer experience was my old Meteor which is not even in the league of TX or HW rifles. I could see from the start, the TX was a serious gun and if I am being honest, I would like to own one as I certainly have the time to practice as a retired old tart and it would be a challenge to master the dark art of springers. I guess my HW100 is so smooth with no felt recoil, the difference between that and the TX was just a bit of an eye opener. As underdog says, there are some light and cheaper guns to be had but whilst I am not a tackle tart

    I also did a more shots on another target to get a feel for the pellets before these groups which gave the same results. The longer ones are just within a 26mm spread whilst the shorts are 17mm spread. I have a few left and may well try them on rats at closer range but to be honest I don't think I will spend much time on them. Phil

    I tried both the short and full length versions in my HW100 .177 today at the range, only 25mt but the result even at this range is quite clear. Phil

    Whilst at the RFD today doing a few pellet tests, I saw a second hand AA TX200 in .22 on the rack. Now this is a gun that I have heard great things from some of you boys and confess that I have been toying with the idea of getting one for a little while. The first thing to hit me was the weight, bloody hell these buggers are heavy but none the less, I took it into the range to have a go. The gun was fitted with an AGS 3-9 x 40 scope which at 25mt I could not get in focus, so that said I had a few shots at a very soft target, my god these things go off with a wallop and the best I could do was

    seriously impressive, not that I am envious in any way of course ............................................................................ok I lie Phil

    A big difference between the two.

    I am going hopefully to the northern shooting show and intend having a closer look at one myself along with a few other things like trying a couple of guns perhaps...................hehe Phil

    Two guys on AG forum had bought them and found they very rarely used them wishing they had saved £60 but they didn't say if they were any good. Reading between the lines Mark, I believe they found that they didn't need them but that is my thought only. Phil

    One thing to check is the fact that the longs only just fit without pushing them right into the mag and as it was just a test to check mag fit, I didn't try turning the mag upside down or shaking it to see if any came out but that I will do. Edit I just tried that whilst sitting at the computer, the longs hold in just fine. Phil

    The stock looks superb Mac and I must confess to admiring your website Simon quite splendid pieces of art. My father was in the RAF and my son flew in both F1 and F2 Tornado's as nav and most of the paintings my father had of WW2 planes were passed on to my son for his gallery. Where abouts in Lincs do you live Simon. Depending on the route you are taking Jimmy, I might be able to meet up and buy you a coffee to break your travels mate. Phil

    Are they the short version or longer. I have just put a few of each through my HW100KT and no feed issues with either. I thought I might have struggled with the long version but no problem at all. They hit the spinners in the garden with a right crack. Your group look good at 40yd and will be interesting to see how well it hold together further out. Phil

    I don't mind telling you Rez that I have a private pension and thank god I have. I won't bore you with my details other than to say that had I no pension when the company I worked for got into trouble, I would be in sh1t street now. Fortunately I had paid off my mortgage so no pressure there but I only just have enough to see me until my state pension kicks in on the 1st Jan next year. My ex-wife worked in the pension industry and I remember that Scottish Widows were consistently at the top of pension performers so you can check them out, please take into account that my information is som

    That looks really nice Rez not that I am envious at all. Phil

    A friend of mine bought some in .22 for his Ultra. My first thought was, they saw you coming but I had to eat my words as he proceeded to smoke some pigeon and a couple of rabbits, no jumps or twitches..................dead. The range for the rabbits was 37yds and a little closer on the pigeon. I bought a sample of the standard and shorts just to try for myself but have not had time on the range yet. My thought was to try them on the rats but at £12 a tin hmmmm, we will see. Phil

    Well done that man. Phil

    Spot on Mark

    I expected that sort of result with mine Mark as I did with my old RM8 but clearly not the case but to be fair as already said, it may be better with 4.52, who knows. I am happy to use JSB Exact or in no wind situation, FAP but after the Bisley Mag result, I want some JSB Heavy to try. It will all rest with longer range testing and when completed, I will post the result, just tricky finding time at the moment. Phil
