Hello Sir, Thank you for a great review of this fantastic, beautiful Air Arms TX200. The Air Arms TX200, Weihrauch's HW80, 97, 77, 90, 99s, Diana Air King Pro, Walthur's LGV and LGU etc, are all fantastic, amazing air rifles, and to pick out the best I think would depend on peoples mechanical knowledge/apptitude, personal preferences, etc. Personally, I think the levels of differences are so fine now, and we all have a preference for different reasons. Personally, I'm in awe of all of them. The TX is pcp accurate. It has the best, most gorgeous blueing, and it's fishscale chequering, trigger, for me, is a knee trembler. The HW80 is an air rifle so capable and popular in the 1980's, and so, so able, even today. As a teenager in the 1980's, I so, so wanted one, though I hadn't hope. Now I have one, its so so special to me, especially since I made my own laminated stock for it with just hand tools and a passion I'd built up from being a youngster. The HW's 77 were winning so many field target competitions, and the Walthur's were such a solidly constructed bank vault of a unit. Absolutely fantastic. I think the side lever models, Diana Air King Pro, with its sliding sledge assembly, Models 52, and 56, are more fantastic examples of German engineering. For me, I just think they were very heavy, and a tough day would be had, to use them for hunting. Their side levers weren't silent and a little clunky, though this for me doesnt detract from being totally awesome units. I just think, anyone who's interested in air rifles today, can go and purchase these totally awesome units, enjoy them and have the time of their lives, once they're familiar, and learn how to manage their recoil. Although I'd have loved one, I haven't had the life in air rifles you have, I humbly don't think we a best, as such. I think we're so, so lucky to have at our disposal the range we have. We have amazing kit, fantastically, solidly manufactured, many different ideas and mindsets that should appeal to everyone interested and passionate about air rifles. Best wishes, Ian.

is this possible to install longer barrel?

Best Springer's put a titian xs in and a PTFE piston washer in it will bang rabbits over 50 yards away further if a good scope and get the recoil down

I just got mine today and put a red dot on the bottom which makes the safety on the bottom inaccessible but I think I a live with that.

The tx 200 does not need tuning straight out the box

I too bought one at Leicester Airguns, but had an issue with an air leak which at the time could not be sorted due to a part not available i do believe. They were great. I took a full refund at the time but now with circumstances better buying a replacement as i just love this rifle. I believe that air leak issue is purely a one off.

Great video pal, I own one & love it, So lightweight it’s a dream 😊

Btw medium is high and high as medium on these I guess you found that out it’s a funny mechanical thing on these

Great video, the 99 is a good gun and great value. Keep that dust from your bag away from your gun as it will act like grinding paste when mixed with oil 😮

Why did u not find the best pellet to suit the gun and do ur test from there it was a waste uf time

Hi, The RWS FIELDLINE SUPERDOMES, go well through more guns than they don't, namely through my 45 year old, .22 Webley Vulcan springer and my SMK Victory CP2 - CO2, Rifle/Pistol Combo' (also in .22) How diverse can you get ?

Just discovered your channel sir. In the more recent video about the hw99s you mentioned people don’t find your content and I have to confirm. I’ve been watching as many videos as possible on the dreamline tactical compact and never came across yours! Subbed👊🏻 do you know if there are even shorter barrels for this rifle? I’m thinking about getting one but want it to be as short as it possibly can be:) gonna be a rat gun, shooting hades, don’t care about the shot count:) would the tube version have a shorter barrel perhaps?

😮 STOP talking duck and use English....😮

Hello can it be filled with a handpump? Or do you need a tank or compressor?

Nice video but how far away were you when shooting at the cans and other targets?

Great review, I’m currently shooting a HW77K, a decision based entirely on aesthetics, there’s just something I don’t like about the TX200 stock, and to be honest I really can’t imagine how a TX200 would shoot any better than a HW77 or 97K, so I’m incredibly happy with my choice, however, I may have to satisfy my curiosity at some point and get behind a TX200 (subject to my wifes approval of course).

I just bought a tx200 hc in walnut in canada. Cost was $1250.00 canadian plus 12% tax plus $70 shipping . Beautiful gun is all I can say.

Good video, it’s all personal when choosing a rifle, when I’d decided to buy a springer I shot loads of different ones from members of my club, and it came down to the TX don’t know why it just felt better. I didn’t want to buy new due to price/depreciation etc so had a long wait searching for the one I wanted. I love my TX and will never sell it, it will be like my grandfather’s pocket watch and passed on 😂

The comb is so high on my R9 stock you can't use the iron sights, I wish Weihrauch would correct this!🤷‍♂

For me there are three issues with the TX200, the price for what it is, the bear trap & being a leftie it is not ambidextrous.

It’s a one off purchase that will last a lifetime, worth saving up a little longer for if it’s something that you really want 👍😎

Would love one, if I can save my pennines and one comes up S/H I'd definitely have one...that being said I had loads of fun with a Remington pest controller today 😊

I have one its a beautiful rifle. But I'm a crap shot with it. Still love it

Thanks for another good vid. A good choice I think . Before BAR could no longer export air rifles I had the choice of a new TX or a Prosport and I chose the latter.Its .22. Ive had it short stroked, 10.5fpee ,V mach d, 11.2 fpe, and FACAir Arms at just sub 14fpe. I still cannot after all this time consistently get reasonable groups with it.Probably me, but my CFX gets much tighter groups with far less sffort. Still up for sale but over here its just not got the following it has in the UK. Sorry, didnt mean to turn it into a moan.. All the best Keith

I thought the HC variant came out with the mk3? The mk1 and 2 had no shorter versions

Don't know what's rong with your sound. But this video and your last one i have to crank up the volume to full on my TV to hear you.

I do enjoy your videos Neil, they’re down to earth and honest. Great shooting too. Looking forward to your next post whenever that will be. Enjoy the time with your family and don’t work too hard, you’ve got to save some energy for your next video 😉

I've had both HW97 & AA TX200HC - my take is that the AA is better out of the box, but the HW with a tune is the best...... however, they are the only 2 rifles that I've sold as I find I ultimately prefer a good quality tuned break barrel. Keep up the great work..always an honest personal opinion.

I've had a mk2 tx and two tx200sr's and now have a 97 and in reality, they are all very similar in performance. I think in the end it's down to the fleshy bit behind the trigger. Great review.

Good morning , whot a great review of a super Rifle .... Thank you

As a Weihrauch fan and have most of them 😂 I would like the TX

If you were getting 11ft pounds with superdomes why are you testing with jsb,s and expecting the same results ?

Your 99 will come back absolutely cock on, because Ratworks are watching this and they’ll ensure it does. “It’ll be the rats bollocks.”

Looking forward to seeing the results of the tune. I’ve got an HW95K and I’m wondering whether it’s worth it or not with Rat works

Looking forward to the second instalment after the tune. Also can’t wait for the TX video. Cheers

Looking forward to seeing the results of your tuned gun. Great video. Take care.

RATworks 'superior tune'. HA! HA! what a load of bollocks - it'll be better but they will do the same job as any of us could. New spring, guides, and top hat with some molly for lube.... PLEASE send it off to a proper 99 tuner who actually knows what they are doing... THEN you will know what a superior tune is. I've got an SFS Imp MKII and that is a 'superior tune'... If you don't want to wait for 6 months for an Imp MKII then there's a guy north of Swansea who is hands down the BEST tuner, and he'll sort your 99!! 😉

Really good video (as always) looking forward to the outcome. And P L E A S E after the outcome of this video keep your videos future ones coming mate. They’re wonderful ‘down to earth’ reviews 🙏

Good interesting vid. Not the best tuner for springers. But will be interesting to see the results. Been looking for the 80 on Leicestershire air guns. But no luck yet🤞🏻

My stock HW99 was putting out 10.2. not a bad rifle, not as accurate as my other Weihrauchs but still a quality bit of kit. I'll be aiming to add a Vortek Kit when available and see if a gentle fettle ups the power and removes the slight spring resonance

Me personally would have kept and tuned the 80 and dumped the 99 I've had two both been awful and I do love a hw.

Looking forward to the conclusion, I've subscribed to make sure I don't miss it 👍👍

So sad, English people have no rights to have guns, but they still have kings, queens and princes...

I’ve got both the gen4 BB firing version and a similar one to yours that’s sold here in the US as the. gen5, only mine uses a belt rather than a revolving cylinder. The BB firing one is superior in every way aside from accuracy. It’s far more realistic and even field strips like the real deal. When it comes to accuracy however, even with the atrocious 2 stage trigger pellets are still better than BB’s. The thing is, you’re not going to get very good accuracy from either one, so choosing the pellet firing version really doesn’t make a lot of sense.

My grandfather taught me to shoot cans with this rifle almost 20 years ago. "Taught" may be a bit of a overstatement, as he basically just slapped it into my hands and as I'd seen in movies and video games, I got to blasting! Being a very user-friendly rifle, the only thing I had to get used to was the iron sights, as I had only shot my fathers scoped single shot rifle before. What an amazing experience.. Years later he passed the rifle to me and to this day, I still can't believe the accuracy you get out of this rifle. I have never adjusted the sights and it's still dead on. It's actually so accurate that i've been wanting to get a scope on it for years but just haven't gotten to it.. I know there's a mount by Umarex and some dude made his own rail. I even saw some raised iron sights with tritium once. I always carry this rifle with me to barbeque and sauna evenings with friends and such, as it's so much fun with a group of friends, and they always get hooked! The only thing I often find difficult with this rifle is to try and stay on count of the 8 pellets when you're having so much fun! Cheers from Finland!

Surprised you are getting rid of one of the finest break barrels ever made for a TX. A good HW80 is incredibly accurate. My only guns to equal it are the 77 and 97. I have a prosport and an HW 80 i bought in 89. I know which one i would keep.

From the states, awesome. Keep it up!

Hw50 basically the same rifle i have one and I love it totally agree with you with it being the one that you would keep if you had to make a choice i would make the same choice only mine is the only one I have and that keeps things simple. The reason I would make that choice is that the rifle is an all rounder for weight power usability and quality.

Under a 1000 Not a bad gun

Hello. Today I received a new Vixen cal.177. I noticed they increased the magazine from 15 diabol to 16 diabol. The inner rotating part has different shapes and groupings, otherwise everything is as before.
