Buster321c 1,010 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Ive resigned myself to the fact that we all make mistakes , and have now decided that the way forward is with a HW97 . Not my ideal , but the past is just that , so onwards and upwards from now on ......... Quote Link to post
fry 209 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 how do you mean bust? have you gone off pcps? i got a prosport round christmas put a v-mach kit in it polished up all the trigger sears ect and to be honest i am struggling with this recoil mullarky and having to hold the rifle exactly the same for every shot! with the 410 or 400 you could just rest the front of the rifle on some thing and you were ready to go.

milegajo 595 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Sorry! But I love tx200's too. Preferred to my 97k only on the ease of stripping them down. Quote Link to post

Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) just the quality of the gun.. at close range the 97 was just as acccurate. obviously pre charged have all the advantages but i dunno there was just 'something' about the 97 lol. dont get me wrong i loved my 410 but i also loved my s200 with 10 shot mag.. had some cracking long range shots with that! ahh the memories..... lol Edited March 19, 2012 by Skot Ruthless Teale Quote Link to post

gurtwurz 792 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 i liked the '97 loads, but the pro sport just edged ahead for me in the end, how come youre heading towards a springer then bust? the theoben not working out for you? cheers, wurz Quote Link to post
