Hi 
Which silencer can you recommend for a TX200HC. And which scope for the same rifle?

I think it depends what you want to use it for…
Both of mine have been set up for HFT/pest control! I chose Optisan scopes, a 4-16x40 CP and the other a fixed 10x44.
In terms of moderator I have the AA Q-tec on my .177, that’s probably the easiest option!
On my .22 I have a 1/2inch UNF adapter and a Weihrauch XL-K.
Not sure there is much difference if I’m honest!
Here’s the link to the adapter!

Fitting a silencer negates the benefit of going for the carbine except for making it a bit more neighbours-friendly when backyard plinking... just my opinion!
Regarding scopes, it depends on your budget. I've bought various scopes and switched to what I consider best value in their price range. In the £100-150 range, I have a 3-9x40IR AO Nikko Panamax on my HC. A 3-12x44 Vector Veyron would work, or the 4-16x44 Veyron if you want a little more magnification. Going up in price, I have a 3-12x44i SF Optisan EVX (since discontinued but you might look for a used EVX or EVE) on my full-length TX200. The 3-12x EVX is as long as I can use without obstructing the loading port. A 4-16x44 EVX is too long for me. Optisan CPs are overpriced - not impressed by the optics. I'd also consider MTC... and I've dumped Hawke.

Got mine 2nd hand. It came with a 3 part silencer, which I'm happy with (no idea what it is). What you will find is a silencer might undo itself as you shoot it. Mine does. A ¼ turn is enough to cause clipping.
Scope wise, currently has one of these on it

I know some people have already said but what I will say is I only ever use the mods when I very rarely shoot in the garden!

I've got the AA short Q-Tec on my HC for garden use, and an Optisan CP 10x32 scope, happy with both.

I got an HC because I wanted it to be shorter. I don’t see the point of moderators on springers at best, but when you buy the shorter version, why ruin it with a pointless addition on the front?

As for mods I only use the hugget atom, it's small and takes of the crack. Utings are selling the nikko diamond 3-9x40 (30mm tube) for £80 bargain for a new scope. Fixed parallax but like the leupolds the front ring and lens carrier are not glued so easy to adjust.

So it is not much difference betwen whit and whitout?

Sorry bud, I should’ve been clearer.
The HC has a female 1/2 Inch UNF, in order to screw on a “standard” non-AA moderator like the weihrauch XL-K you need a male to male adapter like the one I shared, regardless of calibre.
Does that make more sense?

There is a difference, it’s much more noticeable “down range”. The shooter won’t hear much of a difference as the mechanical noise of the spring going I pretty close to your ear.

There are other benefits of adding a moderator such as weight. The extra weight at the muzzle can help reduce muzzle flip!

Sorry this makes it sound like I’m a big proponent of using a Moderator on the HC. As I said before I don’t really use one at all, only for garden use.
