johnboy19 38 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Well people, i have 'done a Shay' and bought a new gun on a spur of the moment type thing. I had mentioned on a thread the other day i had decided i wanted a TX200HC .177. Well i was having a look about forums last night and seen someone selling a MK2 45 mins from me for a good price, but it was a .22. As it was for a good price and i couldnt be bothered with buying a gun and having it posted to me without seeing it, i thought 'feck it' and bought it. So i picked it up tonight, not had a chance to shoot it yet as it was dark when i got home but ive scoped it up ready for some targets tomorrow Only problem justnow is i only have 1 scope justnow so my Nikko Stirling will have to go between shooting targets with the TX and hunting with the S200 Here's a pic. Not a great one as was taken with an iPhone under shit lighting So im going to be doing a lot of targets until i can get used to it and get some sub 1 inch groupings, then it will be out bashing bunnys happy days!!

stealthy1 3,964 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 They are a good accurate gun, once you get used to it you may find you prefer it, I still shoot with my HW77 a lot Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Feck John, that was quick Nice looking bunny basher there sir The TX is a bunny likker and you will be surprised how easy it is to shoot that compared to other springers. Its well on par with the HW's Look forward to seing your results on paper as well as flesh and bone Phantom Quote Link to post

Yeh i'll put some pics up of my results, maybe not tomorrow though, not expecting great results from my first time shooting a springer in nearly 6 months!! Quote Link to post
johnboy19 38 Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Well i took the TX200HC out to the back garden today to shoot some targets and see how bad i was at shooting a springer. After zeroing the gun and putting a good few pellets through to get the feel of it, this is the kind of groups i was getting So i spent a good while practicing, groups started to get smaller but at times also getting bigger, just down to me not having shot a springer in about 6 months Anyway this is the final grouping i got before i packed in. Not too bad a grouping, and can be covered with a 2p So all in all im very happy with the TX and cant wait to shoot it again John Quote Link to post

stealthy1 3,964 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 For the amount of time you have had the gun the groups are good, I enjoy using my HW77 as much as my HW100KT, the only difference is the 100T is quieter when I'm staked out on a hedges or warrens, but walking about the 77 bags as many as the 100T Quote Link to post
