    much better than a 97
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    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.

    Aren't they just excellent to work on?
    After exhaustive testing of a worn in .22 HW77 and a .177 prosport I've decided I need a .22 pro sport or tx200 ASAP
    Good deals with:
    Dunn220, Leon, Bullcelt, stink£r, u.k.neil, supersharpshoot, william and airgun god, GEORGEY, telgun, Simon P and stubbs4612, Wellhouse0, harpo

    Having owned both (currently own the 97) I'd say they both have their attributes, their pro's and con's if you like 'but' in my personal experience the 'HC' is definitely the better of the two rifles...

    Quieter, less harsh in the hand (feels softer/more rounded) and the firing cycle is more friendly, the 97 is better balanced though and although "on paper" it's the heavier of the two it actually feels the lighter...

    A tuned 97 however 'well' that's an entirely different ballgame...

    Interesting that an original post mentioning that the TX is an easy gun to work on has very quickly transformed itself into another TX/97 debate.

    I wonder what caliber ?

    Well we all know that .22 is best

    Problem is the original thread was destined to be very short lived 'as' we all know the TX is the easiest springer available to work on 'so' to draw it out a bit I turned it into a "TX vs 97k" debate just so that the poster didn't feel that he'd completely wasted his time after stating the obvious...

    Ps, note how I opted for the TX !...
