    as reeves says tx 200sr and its got to be a mk1 at that.none of the stupid safety rachet on the side.
    or one better me thinks is the pro sport.as accurate as the sr but without all the probs of setting the slide tension correctly.also very little recoil.the pro sport is the most accurate springer i have ever shot.ive shot and owned all the top makes.only springer left in the cabinet is a pro sport.says it all really

    Low recoil: TX, Pro Sport, Pro Elite, HW97..
    PS has better balance, as does HW98 etc.

    Totally agree Louie - I was a fool and sold my Prosport,it was the best springer I have shot,dressed in a CS1000 Thumbhole target stock.

    I would have another in a heartbeat - if I could afford it

    Just bought a HW98 (Only because I couldn't stretch to the PS) and must admit,this too is a very accurate springer - but certainly in my mind the Prosport was/is a better rifle - just

    I agree with this completely. I had a superb TX200SR Mk 1 and when I got a ProSport Mk1 I found it was just as accurate and not as heavy/complicated. The ProSport does have a V-Mach stage 1 kit in it, which might make the lock-time faster than standard. With a cheapish scope I can shoot groups that are smaller than a 5p at 30 yards with the ProSport. A better shot could probably make pellet-on-pellet. Very well balanced, extremely comfortable stock (can't see the point in a custom on this one) and beautiful to behold.

    Cool

    The TX is a fine bit of kit.you can't go wrong with them.
    Best bet, go try before you buy.
