Air Arms T200 Sporter Reviews

Accuracy, Build quality, Accuracy, Adjustable trigger, Accuracy, Sights, Accuracy and did I mention, it is quite accurate.

It is a bit short, but it is a sporter. After shooting it for about a month the only thing I wish it had is a regulator, not that critical but it would be nice.

I am 5-10 and average reach, yes it is short but I got used to it pretty quick. it is actually quite comfortable to shoot. It is not inexpensive but I forgot all about price after shooting it for about a half hour. It is not very pellet picky at all, groups well with a variety of pellets, different points of impact, but still tight groups. I find it way more fun to shoot something more accurate than I am, than vice-versa. I have trouble putting it down.......

The stock on this gun and the bluing on the barrel is beautiful. Also, this gun is very accurate at 10m. It may be accurate at longer distances, I just havent shot it further than 10m. Also, once you get the trigger dialed in, it is REALLY nice.

Length of pull is a little short for an adult and not adjustable. Some spacer pads would be nice.

Ive Had this rifle for over a year and havent had any trouble with it and Im very happy with it. Im Itching to try it at 25yds or maybe further. At 10m the RWS meisterkugeln rifle group pretty well for me.

This is a light weight small rifle, and extremely accurate. I have only worked with it one afternoon where i sighted in off a sand bag on bench at 10 meters. Nice trigger. I appreciate that it is a pcp and i do not have to do the break barrel thing. I do not know how many shots off one pressurization, but it is probably over 35 shots, maybe 50 shots.

The sights that come with the gun are made of plastic and do not seem up to par quality wise. But I must say that they functioned well. Time will tell if the sights hold position and are rugged enough for my use.

My wife who does not shoot, made a very impressive target at 10 meters shooting off a sand bag. This shows how stable the gun is. I think she shot a half inch group at 10 meters! Pretty impressive for a 63 year old non shooter. To me, only accurate guns are fun, this is not powerful, but deadly accurate. So it is fun to shoot. I have not shot with a scope, I am using the sigts that come with the rifle. It is very intuitive how to line up the sights, great gun for someone learning to shoot. I have not shot the gun in competition, but i think it the gun would do as well as any shooter could expect. The gun is more accurate than this shooter, and probably most of us.

Accuracy: I've not taken time to try it from a rested position, or to experiment with a variety of pellets, but even just shooting off-hand at 10 meters I can tell that I'm hitting right where I "call" the shots. From reports I have seen I expect the rifle will have more accuracy than I can demonstrate. Appearance: the wood is nice and the overall package is pleasing to look at and handle. The air compact air tank is easy to refill with my hand pump.

When I installed the front sight I found the base loose and able to rotate on the barrel. Poor quality control. None of the Allen wrenches that came with the rifle fit that screw. The instruction manual is a joke. Obviously written/translated by someone who is not fluent in English. There is no information included about the sights! How much does each click move the point of impact at 10 meters? I've even searched online for that and found nothing. When I started to adjust the sights I was hearing & feeling the clicks but nothing seemed to move until I loosened the rear aperture eyepiece. Does that eyepiece lock the adjustment?? I don't know! The trigger as received has a lot of first stage travel and some creep in the second stage. I've not taken time to adjust it as it is better than most of my other air rifles even as it is. The buttstock is very short for an adult and does not come with any shims to adjust it. The male quick-release adaptor to fill the tank should also be standard

Overall I am pleased with this rifle. It seems to be living up to my expectations as far as accuracy goes and I look forward to trying it over sandbags with a variety of pellets. As it arrives I think it has enough velocity to double as a backyard pest eliminator and velocity can be increased using the built-in adjustments for those needing a bit more power. Prices have definitely increased since I first noticed this rifle but I think it would be hard to find a better one for the money even at the current prices. I wanted an entry-level target rifle that I could rely on for accuracy. I think this rifle is all that I hoped it would be. I will recommend it to my friends.

Im new to air gunning and this is the most expensive pellet gun I own, so I havent shot any of the higher end stuff. So for me, the trigger is very nice and I like that it is adjustable for pull length and weight. This gun is very accurate out to 10m, I haven t taken it out past that distance yet. I also like that the muzzle energy can be adjusted to be higher.

It would be nice if the stock had adjustable length and cheek.

It seems to like RWS ammo

Cost point on the gun is very good. Accuracy with the Diablo 8.4 grains is excellent, one hole 5 rounds 10 meters. For a starter gun I think this is a great start. I put a scope on mine and the accuracy is great even out to 25m.

Trying to find the magazine adapter kit and extra magazines is almost impossible. I had to order from the UK.

Very nice. Excellent upgrade from CO2. Well crafted. Nice weight and balance.

Tried to fit better sights. Dovetail for front sight was to wide for the sight I had on hand (brand uncertain). Plastic front sight that came with it does work fine.

I got this for when our Scout Troop does 10 meter. Lighter than the Crosman Challenger for younger scouts.

Fit, finish, stock, and accuracy.

More caliber choices.

Excellent rifle for the money. Extremely accurate at 10M.

Beautiful rifle! Great trigger. I bought this for 10 meter shooting in my basement. Im getting 3/8 Inch 10 shot groups with RWS Meisterkugln and Hobby pellets at 10 yards. Very pleased.

Nothing

You need to buy an extra adapter besides the one that comes with the rifle to attach the fill hose to recharge the air cylinder. You also have to remove the air cylinder from the rifle in order to fill it. This is very simple and works well. I have not kept track but feel like I get around 80-100 shots per fill.

I shoot dime size groups at 10 meters. Super accurate!,

Nothing

This gun is ready to go right out of the box. It came charged, so I put the sights on and sighted in. 20 shots all done. Very well made, nice wood stock and great sights.

Nothing.

You may want to inquire about stock size. There are 3. Large, medium, small. One of the best new air rifles I ever purchased. You won't be disappointed.

This little rifle is awesome. For the price it's super accurate and easy to operate. I also got one for my younger brother and his grand kids are loving it as well as his daughter.

I don't think I would change anything. It's a great little rifle as is . Fits almost everyone and is very affordable.

You do need to have your source of air for it by a hand pump would suffice nicely on this one.

Nice and easy to do business with. Great products and the website is user friendly and has all the info one would need.

Nothing

Happy shooting and be safe!

Great value for money, super accurate and nicely manufactured.

If you like CZ rifles, be prepared to be pleasantly surprised by the inner box!

Out shoots the other guys guns costing 2 x or more

Very accurate

for the money this is a great value and it shoots great

nothing

I like the accuracy, fit and finish, and the adjustability of the trigger. The dual power setting is also a very nice feature although I used it almost exclusively for 10 meter shooting at the lower setting. The rifle is easy to fill and more than enough shots to complete a match on a single fill.

The rifle's LOP feels a bit short and some adjustability would be nice. Since my shooting coat has padding in the shoulder, the fit isn't horrible but a few butt plate spacers to extend the LOP would be helpful. This rifle requires an additional adapter to hook up to the Hill pump and that adapter should be part of the package.

This is a very solid rifle and has the accuracy to compete in 10 meter matches. It is light and compact and very easy to handle making it a good rifle for kids, or adults who need a smaller platform to be comfortable. I was using a Daisy / Avanti 753 with three butt plate spacers and the difference was noticeable. I fill with a Hill MK4 pump and the combination of this rifle and that pump is a good one.

There's a reason my the T200 has been a best seller for several years-- it's a great rifle for the money. There are no serious competitors at the price.

I replaced the plastic bolt handle and trigger blade with aluminum parts that are readily available.

If you really want to make this rifle world class you can do it your self for not a lot of money. Mine has a HUMA external type regulator, and a quick fill/ gage assembly added. I adjusted the hammer spring tension and transfer port screw to shoot just under the 12 fpe limit for Hunter Field Target. This set up produces amazing accuracy due to impressive stats such as: 820 fpe with JSB 10.34 gr Heavies, 2.5 fpe standard deviation and 7 to 8 fpe extreme spread. This rifle is capable of shooting aspirin tablets at 25 meters even in my hands-- imagine what it can do in the hands of a capable marksman!

Workmanship of wood, metal and bluing was perfect. I couldn't find any blemishes. I personally couldn't be any happier. Trigger pull from factory was set at 1&1/2 pound. I also prefer the near vertical pistol grip like this rifle has.

Tighten up quality control on rear sight. Rear sight eye piece has a little play up and down and sideways but didn't seem to bother accuracy. Eye piece didn't move around on it's own.

I added BKL sight risers for my preferred shooting position. I used 2 in the rear, end to end so the entire rear sight base was supported and 1 under the front sight. For anyone wanting different front sight inserts, Lee Shaver inserts will fit the front globe and offer a variety of shapes such as posts, crosshair and other shapes.

The Air Arms T200 is a really nice air rifles and the price is right. It is very accurate as I find myself putting several back to back shots in almost the same hole when bench rest shooting. Had several 10 meter targets where I got 9 out of 10 shots into the X ring. The shot that didn’t make it into the X was not the rifles fault. With a 190 bar charge in the air tank you can expect to get 120 shots before having to refill. I don’t have the equipment to test the velocity of the pellet but I didn’t see a real accuracy difference between shot 1 and shot 120. The stock is really nice and I love the target pistol grip type of stock on the T200. I also like the fact that the T200 is built by CZ. I have found over the years that typically CZ firearms have a high quality to price ratio. I like the T200 so much I bought a second one so my son and I could shoot together.

The only thing I am not a huge fan of is that the bolt handle, barrel band, and trigger are polymer. More of a nit-picky thing on my part, I am a 1911 kind of guy. Whatever type of polymer that is used it is obviously tough and I doubt it would ever be a problem.

The T200 comes set up to use in CMP sporter class 10 meter matches but it also can be set up to use a field rifle with up to 800 FPS velocity. The S200 hunter and T200 target are basically the same except for sights and air settings. The two T200 rifles I have seem to prefer RWS R-10 8.2gr match pellets but the RWS Meisterkugeln 8.2gr professional pellets work very well also. Tried a few other brands of pellets and frankly they all worked well.
