I did not have an air rifle for 40 years so when I did decide to buy one I read all about the various types and prices. Most of the reviews insisted you needed a PCP for accuracy and I remembered my old BSA Meteor with iron sights and thought if I could shoot that surely modern springers with a scope must be easier. In the end it was a coin toss between the Tx & 97 I then watched two videos on youtube one by vermin hunters TV the other by airgun gear both about the Walther LGU which I bought in .177. I only shoot paper at 20m and this rifle with air arms fields is superb
