So, AA prosport, what's the deal?

[Pjw18]

I have both the tx200hc and the pro sport and both are accurate well built and lovely to shoot .
However , for a prolonged shoot , I prefer the tx200 . If You can try both , see which You prefer .

I shoot a pro-sport and previously had the TX.

Both are lovely and it's preference really. The TX is nicer in a long session due to it being easier to cock. But the prosport has a different anti bear trap mechanism which is less annoying.

There's a very nice TX just gone up in the ads for a good price....

In another part of the forest someone is keen to sel a prosport. I have one, they're lovely and easy to work on.

Just invested in a new Prosport in .177 The best out of the box springer I have ever known.

I have owned more TX's and pro sports in various mk's over the years than I care to mention (especially to my wife)
I personally think the TX is easier to shoot consistently, I couldn't tell you why though. I have just recently bought yet another one and am struggling a bit to keep my groups inside 25mm at 40yds off a bean bag consistently, my TX will group half that size in the same conditions. Now I know the Pro sport is capable of it, I just think it needs more thought put into it.

Please, please don't be put off by the cocking action. I find it neither awkward or uncomfortable, infact I find it more natural when loading to hold the underlever whilst placing the pellet in the breech.
The only thing I may change about the underlever is the silver finish - I'm tempted to have it hard anodised black.

Me too.

Ignoring my usual rant about the discrimination against left handed shooters the worst feature of the PS is the truly horrible cocking lever and in some examples,the cocking linkage. Other than that the PS is a lovely rifle.
Change the cocking lever for a nice STEEL one and the PS would arguably be the best Spring rifle in standard production ever made.

I'm not being funny here but actually the best 'out of the box' springer in my experience is the Walther LGV/LGU with the better trigger as supplied for the UK market. The PS runs it a close second provided you are right handed.
