underlever air rifle

[billy.whizz]

I have a tx 200 mk3, i love it, nothing that i dont like -except the weight . i really enjoy shooting it , but it has to go ,its too heavy. What would you replace it with ? ,it needs to be full power , .177 . underlever and LIGHT.

HW 57 ?

HW 57 ?

I was just thinking it can ONLY be a HW57, although they're not quite full power are they? Bit of a marmite gun too iirc

 

[billy.whizz]

looks kinda promising, whats it shoot like in the real world?

If its too heavy lugging it about , fit a sling .

Look out for an old Webley Eclipse.

Yes the TX 200 is heavy but the weight is what helps with accuracy and minimal recoil. Lighter spring gun's shooting at just under the 12fpe can be a bit harsh in the recoil department can also affect accuracy. A lighter hold helps and a bit less power helps.

i did that but couldnt get on with it.

My 57 was doing well over 11ft lbs when I got it, but they can be wild, loud, and not easy to sort either. If they behave they are great, but I've had constant accuracy issues with ours, so can't recommend one in all good conscience.

If you are buying used, make sure you can try it before you buy.

yes the tx is really accurate and smooth to shoot ,very little recoil and quiet. .BUT ITS TOO heavy for me.

do you have one ?

Just shoot it rested, then the weight becomes a bonus

Can only agree with the post above
The 57 looks good and when shouldered felt good for me but it’s certainly a hard gun to master and get good consistency from.
Consider a break barrel, almost all the rest of the Weihrauch range are super guns. The 99, 35 and 95 all worth a look.

i shoot it off sticks , very accurate, but heavy when you move.

i have a cometa , 400 fenix star in .177 thats break barrel and a lot lighter,

its a hc in .22

 

[billy.whizz]

maybe i should just sell the tx200 and stop my problem, but i love the solid feel and the way the underlever works and is better than break barrel. the truth is im getting old , no got old and using the tx at the range all day kills me when its over.

I’ve just bought a full length in .22, I wanted the HC originally, but when I shouldered it, it was front heavy, so went for the full length, much better balanced, so is the issue just carrying it

 

[billy.whizz]

yes its carrying it around a hft or ft course ,
