You are one luck chap Sir  I have already money kept on the side to buy a TX and a HW97/77 if I ever make it to NZ. Just don't see any other springer which can compete with these BTW do you know what was the differene between MKII and MKIII. Is it only stock or something in internals too? -Inder [/QUOTE] The MKIII was more built for full power for the export market. I may be wrong but pretty sure the mkII is only UK 12 footpound. It has a strong spring, and a fairy short stroke. The MKIII has a shorter piston so more swept volume, and with a strong spring gets around 16footpound. In UK the MKIII has a weaker spring to meet 12footpound limits, so its a little slower shot cycle and less preferred than the MKII. Its a very easy rifle to dissemble and a lot of aftermarket options to tailor it to your shooting. The HW97 and AA TX200 are both very much top end springers, there are other options for hunting though if you want more power - the HW80 is a great break barrel air rifle and some offerings by Diana aswell. |

Thanks Inder, they are a great rifle. I have three right now; this walnut one that may not get a lot of use which will keep it in nice condition. I use a beech TX200 tuned to sub12 for target shooting and a .22 tx200 that was a bit of a project.

To be honest, the finish is a little flat - it could do with smoothing and re-oiling to make the grain pop, but im too scared to touch it.. I got Youngs to do a service on it, remounted the scope to give a little clearance and maybe put 3 rounds through it.. Time has not been on my side lately so eager for clubs to start up again.

That's lovely Jono. I like the way light catches the grain. I think they call that flash??
Have you been shooting it much? |

Just showing off a recent purchase. It wasn't a bargain but certainly didn't mind paying for it. Im a TX200 fan and shooter, and this one has a lovely walnut stock. Would also LOVE an Air Arms Pro Elite, but have not seen one here in NZ yet. Nice wood, hand checkered stock compared to the modern laser etched, brass cups on the front screws - nice attention to detail. Came with a nice Japanese Tasco 8-32x mag so will do well at the range     |
