Jonjon79 13,358 Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 TX200hc with a walnut stock, in either calibre. It's solid, reliable, accurate, easy to work on and THE nicest looking rifle that money can buy Of course, I am extremely biased But, if I had to give up all of my rifles tomorrow, losing this one would upset me the most. A decent used example will fit your budget nicely 3 Quote Link to post
bigmac 97kt 13,813 Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Nice 97s you can pick one up for a round £250 £300 and will out shoot any bloody tx200 shot for shot and then some sorry JJ and mark atvbmac :thumbs: 2 Quote Link to post
Jonjon79 13,358 Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Dependant on the shooter Mac 2 quality rifles but, the TX is made close to home I thought I'd get a quick target pic up before Mark gets here with his pigeon drawings I'm average at best Harry and, I managed this with a TX. 3 Quote Link to post

mark williams 7,563 Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 The T Rex 200 is one crap rifle. ( not) I have the TX 200 HC mk 3 .177 version. Since my pigeon drawings and targets are getting on JJ`s and Mac`s nerves, would a photo or two of one in action, ( er, herm, - including pigeons etc ) be of any help Harry ?

Jonjon79 13,358 Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Nice group Mac, very nice indeed But the TX hit the bullseye 2 Quote Link to post
bigmac 97kt 13,813 Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Right Harry all the banter to one side what are you looking for mate pcp or springer for the wonga you have to spend ether pcp or spring will be in reach but in second hand format pcp wise ultra (up there with the best but low shot count) webly raider,,,,,, cracking rifles deadly accurate and you could pick one up for around £250 to £300 and if your lucky you could get a bottle for the £100 you have left AA,s410 for around £350 ,,,£400 AA s200 hw100,,,if you can push to another £100 that would give you £500 but you would have to look around to find one at that price BUT ITS THE BEST YOU COULD HAVE springer hw97 in any format AA,,,tx200 AA,,,pro sport three of the best money can buy imo it all comes down to what you want and what you need it for atvbmac :thumbs: PS,,,,JJ THAT TARGET WAS BY LITTLE HUNTER AT 9YRS OLD WITH HIS ULTRA NOT MY 97 BY THE WAY :tongue2: :laugh: 1 Quote Link to post

zx10mike 137 Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 loving the banter weirauch gets my vote 77 or 97. 3 Quote Link to post
mark williams 7,563 Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Ditto to Mac, Harry but the T Rex is the better rifle, off the shelf, "for me". Try shouldering the three springer options Harry and choose one. Pass your air rifle apprenticeship with a springer - you will never forget your marksmanship lessons. Good luck with your choices Harry. p.s. where abouts in Manchester are you ? 3 Quote Link to post
