TX200HC - is it a worthy purchase?

[nige346]

I have an HC that I purchased a month ago in .177 Beech, Prefered the balance to the standard TX and have to say it is a great rifle to shoot, unfortunately I swapped another rife recently with a pro-sport which was a big mistake in the sense that my as new and mint TX200hc hasn't been touched since due to me falling in love with the pro sport, It will most likely end up in the sales section at some point

Owned a few full length TX, s and a few HC, s over the years. Personally I prefer the full length, in .22 of course

All springers are better in 22.

The mags (target shooting orientated to a certain degree) converted us to 177.

I know the 177 flies fast and straight, but it isn't really pleasant to shoot.

The HC in .177 will never as pleasant to shoot as the full length due to the very short barrel. They're actually quite harsh in comparison,to a .22 or full length. Because the barrel is so short you get a fair bit of piston slam. The lighter the pellet the more noticeable. Apart from the balance shot cycle wise the full length is far more refined to shoot

I have noticed that the .177hc seem to be getting more popular lately.

Also Im not sure the PS crowd would think that the short barrel was harsh

I managed a short session with both versions (0.177's) at the club. Gotta say, I found the full length much better (easier?) to shoot. Steadier on target.

Any way you could try one out at a local club before dipping into your pocket?

Cheers guys.
Think i might make an effort to get to the halloween boinger and see if anyone has a HC there. I guess the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
For the record mainly shoot the girlie cal' .

By the way, if you wish going non anti bear trap, a carefully placed o ring puts a stop to the mighty clacking.

Do so at your own risk and NEVER part company with the underlever whilst loading the pellet.
