    No, I think I'm liking the 77/97.. maybe a 77 in a 97 stock?! I don't know but it'll be cheaper than £600+!! Think I'd like to put that doctor on top
    Rhys, come and take my MK1 77K (.22) away and use it for as long as you wish. Might help you decide!

    Today I purchased the Air Arms TX200 in .177 from sportsman gun centre in Exeter. Ive just fitted and zeroed the 4-12 x 50 scope and the consistency is incredible. Its as good if not better than my Theoben Evolution. Highly recommend it for an underlever

    Park Rifes swop hands at around £450 to £550 if pristine, sometimes for a good bit less. Luck really, as most people just don't know what they are or put off by their complexity. In truth not easy to sort out/fix if something is wrong as parts are scarce and not off the peg.
    Anyhow, a good one should nat drive.

    You ol' shagger you

    I know it's short notice mate but, I'll be at the shop in Devizes looking at a TX tomorrow at around 3pm.
    I'll put my 97 in the boot and, I know he's got some 77s and a few others in at the moment.

    I know it's short notice but, if you can make it, I'll haggle you a discount

    All of the above.

    Thanks for the offer but I'm stuck in today... And I'm not quite ready to plunge yet. I'm going to have a play on as meany 77/97's as I can, so I can see which I prefer.

    No worries mate

    I got the TX home and, it doesn't feel like any other new TX that I've picked up - it sounds as dry as a nuns chuff when I pull the underlever

    Maybe I've been spoiled with tuned springers but, this don't feel good. It's getting a full strip on my next day off.

    All of the above.

    25mm, 25mm, 25mm.....
    Isn't this something I can sleeve down to from a STD 97/77 if I think it's necessary?? Or is it different in the older models?

    Heyup Rhys's mate,
    Like Dave said at the very beginning a 25 mm hw77, or if you want something affordable out of left field a superstar and spend a bit of time and money making it shoot well
