Harlequin 2 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Hi there, Just starting out and looking forward to some good banter and advice from you all! Just bought a nice Air Arms TX200 air rifle and starting with some target shooting before trying field target shooting. Mind you better hit the gym first, as the TX is a beautiful rifle, but weighty!, Cheers all Quote Link to post

Thanks mate appreciate that! I know springers are old school these days, but I like the freedom they give you as well. It was a close call between the TX200 or HW97. No idea if I made the best choice, but it's a pretty good choice I think. It's a left handed model, with the walnut stock.. 1 Quote Link to post

darkdd81 36 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Welcome bud. I've used a TX200HC for the last 12 odd years. Cracking piece of kit. Infact when i had my HW100 PCP, i would reach for my TX first most of the time. ATB Quote Link to post
