TX 200 HC mk3 .177 v Pro Sport .177.

That blue laminate 97 looks beautiful. I like the 97 but I'm struggling with mine. I can't get it to shoot consistently (me, not the rifle).

I know everyone thinks their own rifle looks best but that TX is awesome. I need a few more coats of oil on mine to get close to that.

It was darker than that when i got it off Si

iv lightened it up a bit

but its the new dark walnut stock that they are dishing out now on there rifles

Mine's darkening up nicely but I've only put 3 coats of Danish Oil on it so far. The grain's coming out nicely.

Get a picture up mate

 

This is my 3rd and favourite - a .177 HC in Walnut stock.

 ......... It had 2 or 3 coats of Danish oil.

Keep at it the 97 is one hell of a beast to tame but once you do it will reward you big time

plus a simple de,grease and re,grease and a polish of the spring ends and piston

will transform the rifle

plus give the barrel a clean as well more so if it was new

Very nice, I obviously need to save up the pennies to raid Rowan Engineering catalogue.

LOOKS SHIT TO ME

I'll do that. Iv'e just done the TX and if the 97's spring is anything like that, it'll shoot much better.

Rowan bits are nice but, they're feckin' expensive - the only bits on mine that truly make a difference to my shooting are the adjustable butt plate and the trigger.

 

This TX was a bit of a treat as it's my favourite rifle - this one really is a keeper.

 ......... There's no way I'd usually spend that on extras

[Jonnyb6161 80]

Loads of Pics to put up just as soon as I work out how to import them.

I don't think they do a brass one but, they definitely do a black one for the Viper and Mamba for just under £34.

 

I can't put up my best shot with the TX because someone will kick my arse for it

This was a close second with my old .22 TX - a long shot at just a head poking out above a branch.
