MickC 1,825 Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Straight out the box I would have the AA TX 200 HC. Quote Link to post
Ricky-N.p.p 0 Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 97 all day long !!!!!! Quote Link to post
dougie_s410k 1 Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 the newer tx200 hc is a hell of alot more comfortable to shoot,,the stock is completely differant...its a hard decision between a tx and the hw97k but the 97k just pips it for me and they tune up really well Quote Link to post
mad al 146 Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 TX initially, but I'd be leaning more to the 97K, both are really good though but the 97K is a tool for the job...........Al Quote Link to post
tote 856 Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I'd choose the lightning,because of it's lightness. If weight didn't come into it,i would opt for the 97. Quote Link to post
RatSnatcher 0 Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Me personaly would go for the HW95k not the 97K.............its just that much lighter for hunting. But with all that said .................I would buy british and get the BSA lightning because the customer service I have received has been second to none Ps. I own a Lightning tactical and a 95k screw cut.........Pratical tool versus Classy quality. All the best RatSnatcher Quote Link to post
dougie_s410k 1 Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 you will find that lighter springers are more hold sensitive than a heavier one....heavier the springer the more recoil is absorbed pretty much a heavier springer with a beech stock rather than a walnut stock would be great....fit a sling to a 97k and dont worry about the weight....i shoot one in hft comps and for hunting..carrying it hours on end and there no trouble,but if you buy a lighter springer get alot of practice in to get the hold right as i mentioned they take a bit more getting used to Quote Link to post
Guest karlos Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 The lighting its light got the power to do the job easy to use fooking cocking the tx200hc is easy enough but having 2 piss around with the anti-bear trap or what ever that daft catch is a pain in the arse. the 97k is a lovely gun but yet again a bit heavy if ya out all day.

shotgun..willy 8 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 iv got a tx 200 good guns but a bit heavy if i had the choice it would be the bsa for its lighness and and reliability Quote Link to post
mistwalker 0 Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 tx20hc, i had a similar decision last year, got the tx in 177 - spot on. accurate, powerful, just nice to shoot Quote Link to post
jasper65 6 Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Its got to be a toss up between the TX200 or the 97k! all the fixed Barrel guns I prefer to a break barrel! I also like all German engineering so my personal choice would be a 97 in .177 with the TX a very close second.... Quote Link to post
trappsy 0 Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talking about springers, I just got myself a BSA LX TACTICAL .22, I was a bit worried about my own performance with it after shooting a PCR for so long, need'nt to have worried, left the PCR at home and took the Tactical on my shoot after zeroeing it in as best i could in my garden, first shot in the field a rabbit at 25 yards, head shot clean as a whistle, just twitched a bit, 2 more after that and a woody on the way back, a guy wrote a letter in to Airgunner about the pleasures of learning to shoot with a springer again, thats what promted me to get one, Im glad I did, love it. __________________ Quote Link to post
