Just got a walnut TX200HC .177 today, read all the rave reviews and chose that over a HW97, do not know what i was expecting BUT i am disappointed. Put around 50 pellets through it and to be honest my old shoots as well with a decent relube. The gun has had around 300 pellets through it by another owner so it could do with a bit more running in but i was expecting more with all the shoots great out of the box, best springer etc etc lark. My advice would be try before you buy, wish i had!
