Made My Mind Up And Bought The Springer !

[mark williams 7,568]

Well lads i`ve been humming & erring which springer to buy for ages now and after much consideration it boiled down to the HW 97, HW 77, HW , FWB sport 127 and the AA TX 200.

I have shot them all now, even had hold of a FWB sport 127 this morning .

So was left with the final two (for me) - HW 97 or TX 200 HC.

 

The "T-REX" was my final choice, in .177 flavour.

The 97 felt a little cranky and ratchety compared to the ready tuned feel of the TX (smooth as silk) 200 HC.

 

Feel as though i made the right decision, just hope i`m not wrong.

Any scope/ mounts suggestions please guys.

hi Mark

you wont be disappointed!

 

i have a MTC 3-12x44 on medium mounts on my TX,and its a winning combination!

 

i use Air Arms field 4.52's,and they group just nice!

 

now enjoy!

Thank you Davy , i will take your advice and buy that scope for my TX, - would you recommend sports match mounts in medium ?

Yes AA fields are already being used.

Good lad welcome to the springer club!

 

The tx will see you well. But... I doubt you will enjoy shooting your 100's quite so much now!

 

I would say mtc... But the genesis UL. I have owned the mamba 3-12x44 and it's a bit too much scope for me, the genesis is a lot more stripped back and lighter to boot, which I like. Some like a hefty scope on a springer.

Looking forward to hearing how you rate/compare it once its been tested thoroughly,good to have both power plants to choose from to keep your shooting sharp though I think.

Oh and good choice,its on the short list of greats I think...

 

Or long list,depending on who and how many you ask!!

Thank You random/ guys, yes i have been a springer man all my life(.22 cal) untill two years ago and the HW 100`S took my heart , their accuracy is just incredible.

I always shot the FWB Sport 127 in .22 for 38 years and could have bought one today but decided to grow with the times and opted for the T-Rex.

No disrespect intended but i was originally going to use my T-Rex as a top quality back up to my 100`s. Somehow i already feel that that`s not the case.

That T Rex is a hell of a springer.

So rather than shoot PCP exclusively i will shoot both and try and get to a high standard with both. ( i hope)

ive the tx200,in 22 calibre tuned its a pleasure to shoot

[mark williams 7,568]

Well the Mamba Lite 3-12x44 scb is ordered from Uttings and on its way but three local gunsmiths were out of stock of these scopes with Uttings only having one left after my order,- something about a take over at Mamba ? and this scope being a popular seller.

Good scope mate
