It appears to me that the "mid-life" crisis syndrome does not just apply this side of the Atlantic ! I would recommend purchasing the best quality springer that you can afford . Bear in mind that neither the TX or HW 95 arrive with open sights . I have an example of both but would deffinately recommend the TX . They may be expensive but are in the opinion of many , myself included , the best out of the box springer currently available in the world at present . Buy the .177 and be prepared to be amazed at the accuracy !!!
