All good advice up above, Muzzle.
All are superb and, as mentioned, it really has to come down to which one you feel suits you best after having tried them.

Thanks for the speedy advice.. I'll start looking for people to pester.
And also look into the 77.
Thanks again.
I'm sure more will follow on to this reply.
This is the crisis I knew had to come, Distroying the balance Id kept.
Turning around to the next set of lives, Wondering what will come next .

I have an old 1993 HW77k and personally think it's just the finest example of airgun engineering there is...
However the one piece of advice I would give you is do not buy a modern HW,,,
you've probably seen some of the QC complaints yourself, HW (or Hull Cartridge) have had their day and have been cutting more and more corners in recent years.
I don't think I have noticed or seen any QC complaints about any of the Air Arms rifles. (that speaks volumes about them)
The old adage still stands though, get the different rifles into the shoulder and fire a few shots to see what you click with.
Good luck!

Although the HW97K & HW77/77K are undeniably good (esp the 77's with 25mm pistons), I will still continue to champion the Air Arms TX200/TX200HC above all the others, as imho, the TXs really are the very VERY best of the batch.

Air Arms continue to manufacture a great range of air rifles to a high standard and are now the only Premier British producer today !
Still want em to do a Lefty Prosport though !
An airgun or two

i have 2x 97 2x 77 and 2x tx. its very hard to pick a winner. there is nothing between them. the tx is better out of the box but i think the hw 97/77 may just shade it after a decent tune. just pick the one that feels the best to you on shouldering it.

Tx is easier on the eye ... its "fancy" in comparison
TX can only be loaded from the right hand side (my main bugbear)
TX has that ratchet ...(out in the field ??)
TX is better out the box IMO .... can you get a walnut option for a 97 ?
TX internals are better ....having been inside both ...TX is easier and quicker to get inside ..... TX gets a top hat as std ...(stand to be corrected here the one I looked inside did)
I found all this out .... after I bought my 97 in 2004 .. I still have it ...its awesome ...would I buy another 97 at the moment .... NO
Would I buy a TX .... mmmmmm .....that right hand side load ... I hold the underlever down with the right hand
Is it me ... am I strange ? ....always tend to load from the left
Hope this helps
