TX200HC vs HW97k Head-to-Head

[Blackrider]

Good review !

Had a 97KT .177 for a while and it was a superb air rifle. Only recently acquired a Mk. 2 TX200h/c in .22 with a dark L/H stock and despite the bear trap, I really rate it ! OK, both are heavy, I wouldn't want to to lug either around my shoots as they are far too hilly and cover a large area.
Like the idea of the synth. stock on the 97KT option though. Not everyone's cup of tea I know but I like them on my guns, especially for use in lousy weather.
As such, they get wet through, I get the odd dent and bang on the stock but thats all part of the game.
