Do I want an HW98 or a TX200HC...?

[Gareth W-B]

aa​.
TX200HC

The tx is the finest of springers

[tinbum]

They're both very good, so it's just whether you want a break barrel or underlever. My choice would be a 95 as it's like the 98 but a bit lighter.

TX all the way!

[baldinio]

The tx is better out the box but a 95 or 98 would be very easy to work on and with a bit of time and effort can be made very special. Both are extremely good rifles mate and i would say you can't go wrong with either, so it depends on whether or not you want to fettle the rifle. If not go with the tx, if you fancy a bit of tuning go hw. Hope that helps bud

Walther LGV.

Seriously, I've owned multiple examples of the TX and the HW98 and I currently own a Walther Century.

All three are sublimely accurate and I'd put the TX and the Century on a par, both are more refined out of the box than the HW.

The LGV is better still than the Century and cheaper than the TX and is where my money would go.

This just goes to show that gun choice is individual, subjective, and emotive, as I 'outed' my virtually brand new LGV to go back to a walnut TX 200 HC within a week of LGV ownership (and price-wise, there was only a tenner between them, too ) ... I did like my Century though, but not more than the TX.

LOL you are so right about the individual opinions, but I have tried to show many times how the TX is better constructed than the Umarex LGU going through the two guns part by part showing pictures but Umarex owners just ignore things like the trigger and underlever just to mention two things

Like your Mum saying Tesco's cola is the same as real Coca Cola ...

The Umarex ain't no Walther.

Yep, TX all the way.

I'd certainly agree on the LGU underlever - it would enough to put me off buying the rifle and TX's is undoubtedly a better design.

I have toyed with this idea, but couldn't find one to look at and popular opinion seems to regard Walthers XM trigger unit as a poor relation to Weihrauch's Rekord or A-A's CD units... But more than happy to hear opinions on this too...

Thanks for the replys so far

The trigger was definitely one of the considerations which fuelled my return to TX ownership from that of an LGV.

The Umarex trigger is essentially very similar to the Air Arms CD but in truth, I prefer the Rekord trigger to either of them.

However, my Century remains one of the most effortlessly accurate guns that I've owned and hits what I aim at, time and again.

And that's where it really counts.

IF you go for the TX ... can you try it in the shop to make sure it cocks easily with the safety popping out without the need to 'yank' on the lever?
I know people say this yanking is normal for a TX but in my opinion it should not be so. I have seen many a TX where it is not needed.

Of others ... the LGV is nice, as is the LGU or the 77K. Never tried a 98.
