    Thumbs up Sold my TX200 yesterday....

    But replaced it with this!!

    LG55t

    Again..


    The TX was .177cal, I was really struggling to get the itty bitty pellets in to the breech so decided it had to go!!, This Walther is much much easier to load!

    I bought this at the range this morning, My mate Les (Kamag) put me on to it

    Think i'll have to stick to break barrels, Tap loaders and RB in future!!

    Makes the TX look Chinese!

    Your power will be way down but you have a nicer rifle, the TX weighs like a ships anchor and the LG 55 is a pleasure to hold and shoot. Good swap.

    The LG55 s a great rifle and IMO better than the HW equivalent. Ive a couple in my collection including a double set trigger version and its smaller brother the model 53.

    Gareth, I was really struggling to get the little bitty 177cal pellets in to the barrel due to the small size of the aperture that the finger have to go in to!! Have no such problem with my two HW77's, The TX just had to go i'm afraid, If they were all the same all of the sliding breech guns would have to go

    It's a design flaw in my eyes!!

    I take your point John I have heard other folk mention this. Personally I have never had an issue with this myself but at the end of the day it does not mater if its underwear or a rifle you have to feel comfortable using it.
