Air Arms TX200 MkIII Reviews

The overall gun is beautiful. The blueing is second to none and I'm pleased with the beach wood. The weather here in Northwest indiana isn't cooperating with me shooting and sighting the gun in. The little I've shot it shows the accuracy this gun is capable of.

I read a lot of reviews on this gun and one thing mentioned a lot was the little plug on the bottom of the barrel falling out. It's called a buffer and it prevents the cocking arm from contacting the barrel when closing. The usual fix is to install "0" rings on the cocking arm (it has grooves and the "0" rings look like original design). On a gun approaching $800.00 with tax (more if you want walnut) that AirArms could address this problem. I guess it's more of a nuisance as it doesn't affect the performance. The hole has threads but I don't know the size. Perhaps a nylon screw or set screw would accomplish the same thing minus the falling out after around 50 shots.

I purchased a Hawke Airmax 4x12x40 scope with the medium scope rings but had to get the tall scope rings as the scope AO was actually setting on the barrel with the medium. Go ahead and purchase the "0"rings & install on the cocking arm so when the plug falls out you won't accidentally mark that beautiful blueing.

Beautiful gun! Shoots well!!!!

Beauty, ease of operation. I got mine from another vendor a couple of years ago at a better price. I hit the wood lottery with a walnut stock, and got one with a lot of burl in the buttstock, blending to tigerstripe in the forearm. very accurate, and an excellent trigger.

Weight, even with the walnut stock it is extremely heavy, Beech would be even more. They need to do something to put it on a diet. Same as the ProSport.

Pyamid is one of the best dealers of a few I do business with.

Solid built all metal gun with no plastic parts. Beautifully carved walnut

Not being able to see the grain before it ships. Also my trigger guard is really badly done it looks like the cut the metal on the saw and painted over the saw marks. Also on the right side of the gun part of the grain looks like a crack on the stock or maybe they professionally repaired the crack. Hard to tell and I'm a wood worker.

When I text pyramid air a picture they didn't really seem to care. Which is a shame considering I heard nothing but great things about there customer service. I'm gonna see if the trigger guard Is supposed to be in this rough of shape and maybe talk to air arms about the possible crack repair. Or maybe it's the grain.

First of all this is a beautiful air rifle. I have shot it some and it has good accuracy, but i have bkl mounts on it and they will not lock down and stop sliding rearwards. These were recommended by Pyramyd and i mentioned that they didn't have a stop pin, but he said they would work and have not. Other than the mounts, this is a nice gun to add to your collection.

Nothing besides my scope mounts.

It's expensive, but you are getting a quality gun that will last for years.

Not a single cheap part from stock to barrel to cocking lever and ball stop. Extremely accurate and nice lght cocking force.

I would add sling attachments on left side and I include a right angle pellet seating tool. I made an STL file and 3d printed one so fingers never enter danger zone.

Order one im immediately

The trigger on the rifle was everything that I hoped it would be. Shot cycle smoothes out after a few hundred pellets. The fit and finish is second to none in the industry, and would compete with most in the firearms industry. During preliminary testing the rifle doesn't appear to be too picky about pellets.

The cocking rod bumper fell off after about 50 shots. Pyramyd sells a replacement, but why bother if it will continue to happen? Air Arms really needs to address that wart post haste. I did the usual thing, and put some O rings in the grooves on the end of the rod, and solved the issue.

I was somewhat disappointed that Pyramyd would not provide photos of the rifle prior to shipment. I ordered a walnut stock, and felt that a $900 springer was worthy of approving the stock, they however did not. The one I received was average, not great. I was even more disappointed when Pyramyds' sister company offered the same rifle on sale two days after I ordered mine. The rifle requires premium mounts. I had an adjustable pair which did not work, so a fixed pair was used without issue. There is a fair amount of droop, so choose the optic wisely.

Nice rifle, fit , and finish is the best in the springer world. Trigger is nice

The stock is rather plain, Pyramyd was unwilling to shoot a photo prior to shipping, so you take your chances when you order. The gun has about 4.5 inches of barrel droop that I'll have to figure out how to compensate for.

Adjustable mounts won't hold zero long enough to see what sort of accuracy you have.

This rifle is the KING of spring. You'll be excited opening it, thrilled firing it and proud to own it. I appreciate the accuracy, location and automatic nature of the safety, the look and feel. It's a rifle to admire and hopefully pass down due to its solid build.

I struggle to come up with a single thing.

I compared this rifle to the HW98 and the TX200 stole the show.

Everything, the fit and finish is spot on. The accuracy is second to none. I have 2, a .22 and a .177. Best springers I have ever owned.

Nothing

I have owned or now own many makes and models of air rifles and the old saying you get what you pay for applies.

Have had my TX200 MK 111 for three years now. Not one problem and around 6k shots. Impeccable rifle with no flaws I can find. Still shoots Daystate Sovereign Hunter (made by JSB) 10.33 grain at 810 fps just as it did when brand new. I've had roughly 50 springers over my lifetime and this one stands alone. If you are hesitant to buy believe me just don't hesitate any longer and buy the rifle.

Not one thing

Buy a REALY GOOD scope to bring out the guns accuracy potential. Mine is topped with a Sidewinder and this compliments the rifle nicely

The rifle looks and shoot great.

The rifle looked great when i got it, but after shooting it a few times I realized that I had not used the safety, and it was supposed to engage every time you cock the rifle. After adding more oil to the safety and letting it sit overnight it was still not working, Then after a few days of shooting I managed to get it to work maybe once or twice out of ten shots. But by then it was clear to me that it was never going to be dependable. Not without being serviced by a technician. Now I may have been able to take the stock off and messed around with it and got it to work, but for what Air Arms charges for that rifle, They can mess around with it and get it to work, Before they send it out to the customer.

Hopefully Air Arms will fix this problem with the safety soon. Later I looked online for problems with the TX200 and the safety was the number one problem people were having.
Pyramyd Air was very good about returning the rifle and gave me a full refund with no problems.
At this time, I wish I could give the rifle five stars, it is such a nice rifle, but having a rifle with a safety that does not work Every time is a safety hazard, even if it is just a pellet gun, and I will not own it.

Beautiful walnut and top notch finish. Simply solid and not a loose rattle anywhere in the cocking arm linkage. Extremely easy to cock. This is everything you could want in a springer!

Nothing, there is a reason this has basically remained unchanged for ... well, a very long time.

Refurbished is and was the biggest issue for this review. TX200 showed lots of use, blueing/blackening had scratches, rust found in the chamber, finish imperfections, and stock dings and dents. Problem is Damage, was it under the refurbished policy or shipping damage, maybe a little more than used? Well, PA gets final say and did not refund return shipping costs in this case. Its a roll of the dice with refurbished, just be aware of the PA policy. Subtract out the Damage, this would have scored better in value for the money. The TX200 is a top tier springer, maybe thee top!

The Air Arms TX 200 MK III is an absolutely beautiful airgun. I ordered mine in .177 caliber and with the walnut stock. I am shooting the JSB 10.34 Diabolo pellet. This is what I wanted to break the gun in with and the barrel. I shoot PCP's in Hunter Field Target at my club Fairfield Sportsman Association. I used Renaissance wax on the stock. It brings out the beauty of the stock and adds a layer of protection. It took around 350 shots for the TX 200 to break in and everything settle down. The FPS spread tightened up and so did the groups and the accuracy. I love shooting this airgun. It takes you back of why it all loved airgins. Slow things down and focus on each shot with your hold and follow through. If you do your part, this airgun will put the pellet where you are aiming. 25 Yards it stacks pellets. The recoil / spring vibration is mild, & is straight back. Absolutely Beautiful, Incredibly Accurate, Screams quality, Phenomenal Trigger, A joy to shoot. What more do you want?

I would put some kind of rubber pad at the end of the cocking lever. I know, you can do the O'Ring thing.

Be patient with learning how to shoot a spring piston airgun if you don't already know. This airgun is extremely accurate, you just need to do your part. It is definitely worth saving up for. Get a good scope for it and a solid one-piece mount. It is a heavy airgun, but that is to be expected.

This rifle is a work of art. The walnut stock has an oil finish and is just beautiful. The barrel and cocking lever have a perfect blued finish on them.

I am not able to think of anything that would improve this rifle. It has a very impressive history with many many owners.

This rifle is amazingly accurate. So far I have only fired it in the basement at twenty five feet and once sighted in I was shooting one hole groups. If you are looking for a top rated spring air rifle, this is it.

I like the build and design of the gun itself. It is super accurate. way more than I expected. A big thumbs up I would buy it again.

I would not change one thing.

I highly recommend if you are looking for a well made super accurate gun.

Just purchased a tx200 mklll, what a beautiful gun, everything about it is pristine. Put a scope on and at 20yds it stacks pellets. I was always a Weihrauch guy in fact I have 3 HW77Ks 2 old school with 25mm tube all great shooting rifles. That being said this tx200 seems to be a little better. I give it 5 stars.

Little rubber stop on the cocking arm

Try one you will like it!

Fit and finish is immaculate, incredibly smooth and accurate

None

My break in period was less than 500 shots. Initially my ES over 10 shots was 13fps, it shrunk to 6fps after around 300 shots and cocking became noticeably easier. An absolute laser honestly you cant miss. Totally worth it (mine was 830$)

Very nice looking Walnut stock version and solid air rifle. Weight 10.5 lbs with MTC Mamba Lite 4-16x scope. With JSB 10.34, she averages 800fps and less than .25 inch group at 25 yrds. You need to let this springer do its recoil thing. I plan to set it for < 12ft/lbs.

The little rubber bumper under barrel to cushion cocking lever lasted about 5 shots, came off and unable to re- mount it. Poor design Air Arms. I replaced with rubber O rings in the grooves provided at end of cocking lever.

As advertised it takes about 30 lbs of cocking force. I intend to use this air rifle for Field Target and will convert it to less then 12ft/lbs but for general hunting or plinking its fine.
Glad I made the purchase.

INSANELY well built and EXTREMELY accurate. Paired with the standard Hawke scope that came with the package, I can dial in dime size groups at 35 yards. I also found that the Air Arms Field 8.4gr pellets are the BEST match for my gun. I can literally use the StrelokPro App on my iphone and calculate dead on shot placement at any distance. Its absolutely a dream to shoot!

I would change the safety on the gun as I dont care for the placement and operation of it.

If I were to do it again, I would buy a REALLY REALLY good scope. The Hawke that comes with the combo and s very good, but a really good scope with active turrets, side parallax adjustment, and an illuminated reticle would be EPIC.
