I think so

much better than a 97

I have owned both and I would not say that. Just bought a 97 as opposed to a TX for the following reasons:

The 97 under lever feels better and does not shake loose
The loading breech is bigger and can therefore be used either left or right handed
I find the anti bear trap release on the TX a little frustrating to use
The TX is not available with a synthetic stock. This is of course a purely personal thing.
The 97 was more than £100 cheaper
For me the 97 Blackline shouldered better

I think both guns are equally accurate and of very good build quality, the clincher for me was the price and the availability of a synthetic stock. I just think synthetic is more modern and better suited to life in the woods and fields.

I'm fairly new to all this and I'm sure this debate has raged for years but it's not fair to say that one is outright better than the other, it's down to personal preferences.

But they're not as good though, are they?

Yes the TX is a very easy air rifle to work on. The HW80 is a very VERY easy air rifle to work on, too.
