Will any springer ever beat the TX ?

[madcarlos]

Let's not forget if it wasn't for the HW77 and a certain Mr Ken Turner then Air Arms wouldn't have the TX or The Pro Sport. Mach 1.5

Exactly bud, The hw77 is still one of the top springers and has been for the last 40 years or so,

Does anybody know if,

Weihrauch invented/designed the HW77 in house or did they buy somebody's idea or get a 3rd party in to invent/design it?

Whilst not a scientific/engineering comparison to other springers and the many that I have not tried, it is just a personal opinion that the TX200 transformed my shooting ability and it just felt right. Mainly a collector, I have the old school BSA's; Mercury S, Airsporter S, Goldstar, Superstar, etc...HW: 77, 77K, 35, 80...Anschutz 335, FWB Master Sport 127....Webley Omega...Original 35S, 45 and so on. But for me, the TX200 is the biz.

My TX is very accurate

But so is my Walther LGV Comp Ultra which just needs a little lever flip and one finger cocking.
It also has open sights

Back in the day when the very first batch of MK1's TX200's were produced. AA gave a couple to very good FT shooters at the time to demo the rifles ability at a field target event. These guys were members of my very old club The Venom Pistol & Rifle Club and had won many awards. JM came 2nd & JA came 4th.They lost out to a guy using a Airmasters 77 and 3rd place went to a 77. So the question is, will the HW77 Ever be beat? Mach 1.5

John Alcock and Joe Myska (sp?) came to Roughwedge club, back when we used to shoot at Frank F Harrison school, just as they’d been given their TX’s. John had re-inletted his 77 stock to accept the TX action - from memory it was a Venom Trophy stock but I could be mistaken.
Happy days.

Last year was the inaugural UKAHFT recoiling championship. A one off shoot held at one of the toughest courses in the country. Top 3 places were taken with TX200's.
Also the UKAHFT and FT world championships (springer class) were won with TX200's.

So yes, the HW77 has been beat

I did read somewhere ( I don't know how true it was ? ) the first Hw77's were based on a 30mm comp tube but the overall weight of the rifle was 12lbs plus, I wonder who owns that prototype ?

I'd say yes the Hw77 was a in house design but with ideas taken from a previous sliding comp tube rifle.
