    Well I've had a few TX's and a couple of 97's over the years.
    I know I'm going to get shouted at but the 97's were rubbish (twangy and inaccurate) but the TX's were good, apart from the HC which was dire. Just my opinion! But a full length TX is a class act.

    I keep thinking about a tx mk1 or 2, in .22
    I've got a mk1 in .177 it's an old thing but lovely to shoot. It needs a 22 twin!
    Go on, treat yourself

    I am fortunate enough to have numerous springers in my collection including various models of Air Arms, BSA, Diana, Feinwerkbau, Original, Walter, Webley and Weihrauch. The best shooting gun ‘out of the box’ in my opinion is the .22 Air Arms TX200 HC
