    Collection of SRs

    Is this the most SRs you've seen together?.

    I have never seen that many before, surely a .177 and a.22 is enough; saying that I have a friend that had abt 8 Mercurys at one time

    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    I'll confess, they're actually split between me and 2 other friends. 😀

    So these are the SRs of three people!

    I can completely understand collectors who have a lot of examples of the same model, each with a small variation from the other. After all, it's what marks us out as collectors - an eye for differences, whether major or minor. The problem can come when you find better examples of the same variation and for whatever reason don't move on the lesser examples...

    I certainly know a member of my club who has far more than that.

    It's an Air arms tx200sr. SR being semi recoiless. The action is set on a sled rather than fixed. When you fire it, the whole action moves to counteract recoil.

    The trigger flaps about when it's not cocked!

    Super accurate, but then so is the TX and the ProSport. Sold mine.

    That's because it disengages from the action whilst uncocked.
    Never found it a problem.

    They are one to own if you get the chance mate, and very accurate too.
    I had 3, and only sold them due to reducing my collection.

    Have a great day yourself bud. 😊.👍
