I've already got a HW77K and I've just TbT'd it.
But a Mk2 TX200HC has appeared near me for a decent price and I've always fancied one.
Air rifles seem to be like buses, nothing you want at the right price for ages and then three turn up almost at once!
But if I do succumb, there's only really space for one underlever in the collection.
Perhaps I should avoid the dilemma and leave it for someone else?
Thoughts?

Yes you need the tx and then a Prosport in walnut to ensure all bases are covered.
I don't think you can love a HW77 and a TX200 at the same time.
You might get away with a HW77 and a ProSport or a HW95 and a TX200 but a HW77/97 and a TX are too much the same thing but different.
I prefer the 77 to the TX as it is a bit simpler and I prefer the balance, but on paper the TX is the superior tool. Easier to fettle, derlin bearings, superior stock and trigger blade. Get your 77 buttoned and ignore the AA siren.
Well if your heamorrahging it into your sport right now maybe you can use that to motivate yourself into selling one of them?
I know what you mean though.... I've just bought a new to me setup which involves:
1 BSA r10 mk2
1 4ltr bottle & whip
1 vortex Diamondback 3-9
1 nitesite viper
1 docter optic 6x42
1 huggett belita
And for the other rifle as my current scope doesn't work so well with the nitesite nite.,
1 vortex viper 4-12x40
And:
1 vortex Diamondback 8x32 bins
Which reaches a tit under £1800!!! S#*" that frightens me when I say that
I'm stopping now... And for a very long time!!! I'll not have the opportunity to do this again so I thought I'd just do it. I'll only have a 1in 1out policy with rifles from now on as you just don't need more than 2 pcp's and I'll be selling everything I haven't used after a year!! That's my rule.
Apart from my evo, that stays always as it's my first airgun

As above, buy British is what I say and forget what Alistair (Hsing-ee) says as he doesn't know a good thing when he has it and if that TonyL geeza comes on saying to buy every single HW ever produced, then just ignore him as he's a knob with no taste and a funny hairdo

Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in
No you don't need it. Send it my way.

I had a similar dilemma, but mines a 97 and a after shooting a TX before I did the deal I realised id find it too fiddly compared to the 97 and would probably not use it much. Stick with the 77 only, unless the price is that good you can resell easy
Of course you need it, why are you even bothering to ask?
I had a Mk 1 TX200, was a brilliant gun and I do not usually like Air Arms guns!
All this chit chat is stirring my fancy for a blue laminate 97k again!!
could put my docter on top

The 77k and the TXhc are two completely different rifles therefore there's a space in your cabinet for both...
