Heads up: hw35 vixon on GS and .22 tx200 mk1 walnut at BAR

[I. J.]

Whats the difference with a vixen then, just a better quality stock??

ed

The stocks I have seen on Vixens are only slightly better than those available on standard '35's.

Were the Vixen does differ is the internals. The piston is sleeved and the (longer) main spring, guide tube, and piston are matched and chrome (?) plated. http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Airs...tml?sort=4&o=9 They were advertised as guaranteed to do over 800 f.p.s. in .177!
The barrel catch is chromed and the word 'VIXEN' engraved on the barrel block. They also came with a special fleece lined gun bag.

Interesting, thanks Ian.

The beautey and mystike of the Vixen is what you cant see, on the surface its looks ordinary, the internals as IJ has stated make the difference. The first of the spring"super-Guns" No doubt in my mind, love my .22 Standard version to bits.
