Best $600 I’ve spent on a firearm….well…it’s an air gun....AA TX200 - 08/01/17 02:00 PM
Technically it's not a firearm.
It's .177 air rifle springer made in England. It’s the Air Arms TX200 Mk3. It’s arguably the best factory springer currently made.
The rifle is absolutely gorgeous. The bluing on this gun is comparable to a $3k rifle. The overall fit and finish is amazing. The rifle doesn’t have any plastic parts (metal trigger guard). I went with the beech stock to save $100, but it also comes with walnut stock for a better look.
The trigger is a fully adjustable 2 stage trigger. It’s perfectly adjusted from the factory. First stage 10 oz, second stage a little less than a 1lb and very crisp.
I got this rifle a couple of days ago and only shot it inside my house at 10Y. It’s exceptionally accurate (pic shows two 5 shot groups shot at 10Y from sand bag. The red circles are 1/2“). Soon I’ll shoot it at 50Y (some are getting under 1” at 50Y with this gun)
I’m very happy with this rifle. The shooting characteristics, the craftmanship and the overall experience is up there with my high-end firearms. Most people probably don't really care about air rifles, but I thought I would share my experience.
Below are some pics. They really don't do justice to this rifle as you can't really see the quality of the bluing and the craftsmanship.
