well said, tis a bloomin airgun forum after all !!!!
The voice of reason.
Yes ostensibly it is an airgun; BBS, and, that's why we have a very large airgun forum sectiontis a bloomin airgun forum after all !!!!
I believe that this forum was added to allow reviews of rifles/guns etc. that require an FAC/SGC to own and use.
However my post was not a pop at SSS, I just thought it was hilarious that despite Baz ever so gently telling this chap that he had posted in the wrong section, he just carried on banging out post after post. Classic

And there was me thinking that airgun reviews just weren't allowed
Mike.
Having said that .. can't wait to give my TX200HC versus Ultraglided version. Am I allowed to do this ?

Sorry for updating my review, didn't realise it was causing so much hilarity.

Given the paltry number of S.1 and S.2 firearms getting reviewed here, I don't think reading a few airgun reviews is going to hurt us. It is kind of funny hearing about the huge difference in lethality between a gasrammed Webley and an HC (of any description) though. I can't remember the last time I hit a rabbit with less than 200ft/lbs and my latest rabbit rifle gun tops 700.
Whist - it's the new rock'n'roll, innit?

I go for the 'nuke em from orbit' approach. Works for me!
Now that you have had it a while is there anything you would like changed on the HC?
I have enjoyed your posts whilst I wait for my TX200mkIII to arrive.
Cheers
It has arrived!(Tx 200mkIII) I sighted it in @ 10m, 1 hole group when I do my part, size of rifle is just spot on for me.

Airgun Explorer,
sorry for not replying to you post on 23/05/05, didn't notice it. I'm more than happy with the HC and wouldn't change a thing. As I previously mentioned the gun is heavy and I struggle a bit on standing shots. For quarry I will not take a standing shot over 10 metres. I know I can hit the killzone on a bunny up to that distance. Anything longer range I go drop knee or prone. Incidentally I should have done this with my other, lighter rifles, as going prone seems to make me practically invisible to rabbits and my bag has increased about five-fold.
Have you tried Webley Lazadomes in your TX, my gun loves em'.

The reason why SSS continues in this section is pretty obvious surely? Once you start-even if in the wrong section (shock horror!!), all the replies -like yours and mine- have to go on the end of the thread otherwise there is no continuity.Yes ostensibly it is an airgun; BBS, and, that's why we have a very large airgun forum section

I also just bought a TX200 mk.III in .22.
I think I am in love with this gun, the trigger action is so sexily smooth and the gun just looks beautiful. It is incredibly accurate, (I have a Webley 3-9x40 scope attached) and so far I have only missed one shot in the two ratting sessions I have taken it out on.
The Stock is so well made and the gun is so well weighted that it just sits tight on may shoulder and hardly twitches at all, no matter how excited I get!
On the downside though, it is pretty heavy, however I would spent hours in the gym for this beauty, and it is pretty bearable for a couple of hours. The recoil is also pretty solid, but it is nothing out of the ordinary for Spring Rifles, and certainly not anything that an experienced shooter or a bit of practice can't handle. Also the loading slot is just left hanging, so its pretty easy for butterfingers like me to drop the pellet into the cavity. Some guns have a tray that makes reloading that much easier.
If I were you and looking for a Spring Rifle, I would definately go for the AirArms TX200 mk.III.
