Air Arms TX200 HC - Hunter Carbine

This is my second Air Arms brand spring rifle. The first one I had was the TX200MK3 in .22. But I realized that the TX200 is better in .177 caliber so I decided to buy one more and purchased the HC version. It turned out to be beautiful. Without a doubt the TX200 is the best spring rifle in the world. I recommend purchasing the Vortek kit at 12fpe. With this kit the TX200 will put a smile on your face with every shot.

Nothing. This is the best spring air rifle.

The HC version is noisier to fire than the MK3 and requires a little more effort when loading the weapon. But nothing to worry about.

All is well with this air gun very accurate, easy to hold, magnificent feel, walnut stock flawless. Love this rifle so glad I purchased. if you’re considering wait no longer purchase while still at reasonable price.

Nothing

Easy to shoot very comfortable to hold for long periods of time at an upright position.

This TX200 HC .22 RH Walnut was a refurbished offer which added value for the money with the addition of some Bullseye Bucks from PA. The cosmetics on this rifle is outstanding. The trigger is light and the recoil is much less than other springers out of the box. HC Hunter Carbine has an overall excellent shorter length. The walnut stock is beautiful and each will be unique. The finish is second to none.

Under lever linkage rattles on the first easily seen connection joint. Right out of the box this is still a shocking contrast to the cosmetics of the rifle. For hunting, any extra and unnecessary noise should not be there. Its a rattler, but not as bad as others I have handled! For this price point, the tolerances on the cocking mechanisms should be tight and not make noise. Wish PA would offer pictures of their refurbished stock, not just a general catch all blanket policy.

Very short cocking lever which is harder to swing down compared, for example: the TX200, HW97K, or Diana 34 break barrel. The TX200HC is loud. While a moderator / silencer can be affixed, that defeats the short length advantage the hunter carbine model has. The HW97K is a tad longer and definitely quieter. With refurbished it is a roll of the dice, so make sure to read over the PA refurbished policy. If interested in today's available springers, no doubt one of these TX200 or TX200HCs will end up in your growing collection. Be careful, air rifles are addictive. Shout out to PA for excellent customer service.

Lucked out on this & picked up this rifle as refurbished. Not a mark dent or scratch on it & it functions flawlessly. TBH I'd have no issue at all paying full price for this rifle. Of course I'd heard all the hype & seen a lot of stuff on YT about it. Trigger, accuracy, fit & finish all true. Having owned it for about a month now it way exceeds my expectations. As far as I'm concerned if you find a bad review of the TX200 HC it is from someone who has no clue about Springers or how to use one. Of course there is the eternal debate of TX200 vs. HW97 but some folks drive BMW's & some drive Jaguar too. Both will get you there in style. I can say this for sure, if you can appreciate & aford a top of the line springer you will never regret buying this one.

For the moment absolutely nothing. Sure some day I may get one of those fancy tune kits or other upgrades like an adjustable trigger blade or something, but there is nothing wrong just the way it is now at all.

Yes you can get pcp accuracy out of this rifle, but only if you put in the work. Trust me if you miss a target within 50yds or less, its not the guns fault.

In my humble opinion, there is better value for less money with many competitor options.

I ordered a TX200HC in walnut, 22 caliber. The airgun arrived in good condition, double boxed with plenty of padding between the boxes. Pyramyd Air does a good job of preparing a package to prevent damage during shipment. I am pleased with the stock wood as it has some nice figure and good grain flow through the wrist area of the stock. After mounting a UTG 4-16 scope I shot a hundred or so shots to break in the gun. The airgun as furnished for the USA market produced 18.39 ft lbs with the JSB Hades pellets. Accuracy is acceptable as furnished. I intend to try several different pellets to see if the airgun prefers something different. At this point with the TX200HC I am very pleased with the airgun and would recommend it for anybody looking for a well made and capable airgun.

Maybe a bit more effort put forth on the stocks finish. I added two coats of WATCO DANISH OIL which improved the surface finish.

AIR ARMS makes a very nice spring airgun. I have no adverse issues with the manufacturer or the product.

It's beautiful! It's accurate! It instills pride of ownership! It is fine enough to pass down as a family heirloom!

I would change nothing!

Yes! Get one while you can!

Beautiful rifle, very accurate

Takes some effort to cock

Bought a refurb in 22, there was one small dent on the stock, that was it. Awesome rifle

Accurate! The stock is a nice looking piece of walnut, except...

The rifle arrived with a dent in the L side of the stock just in front of the trigger guard. Both boxes (AA factory and PA overpack) looked good so I don't think it happened in transit. I contacted PA and they were nice about it and offered to exchange it for another one but I elected to keep it. It's not going to be a bench only rifle so it will eventually gain character, but this was kind of a bummer since it is so expensive to begin with and I paid for the walnut upgrade. This is the only reason for the downgrade.

I used BKL-263 rings to mount a Leupold VX-Freedom EFR Rifle Scope - 3x-9x-33mm w/ base screws torqued to ~35 inch lbs, ring caps to ~15. In >100 rounds there has been no movement. Coming from "real" guns I like to see the objective closer to the barrel but in this case that is a cosmetic preference, not functional. The comb is so high it works fine, and I could probably shoot well even with slightly higher rings though these look goofy enough.

Beautiful rifle

Broken after 3 shots fired Great phone support / return for a replacement- has now been almost three weeks - still not replaced / really disappointing that the replacement is taking so long / the tech stated that there were 13 in stock upon my defective return / what can be done to get my replacement in a timely manner?

Anxious to check accuracy - need a replacement rifle.
