I have a TX200 and a Prosport, The TX is far easier to cock. When I first got the Prosport, I was not handling it properly, gripped the cocking lever in my right hand and somehow wrapped my left around the forearm, The cocking lever slipped and smacked my left thumb breaking the distal bone. Makes me a believer in bear traps, and I really think about how I cock that thing now.

TX is a gorgeous rifle. I think they might disappear first. Crow
You know what. I’m always sitting so for me to jack the PS is easy. That’s maybe the difference.
Definitely going to be extra careful. Nasty to get hit with that arm, OUCH. Crow

there is a lefty TX in stock /USA
Is it really true right out of the box ? I know a tune might smooth things but how much ?

PRO Sport does not come in lefty so a TX 200 is in my future as i do not want the expense of a third custom stock (or do i ?)

I like the gun rack you made. Even more so what its holding! Nice pic!
I mentioned earlier today that I am only three months in to my springer addiction. It started with the purchase of a used TX from Penchetta, great rife and experience. Still, just had to have the PS. So I ordered one from PA. My brother just asked me this today and before he could even finish I replied ”Pro Sport”. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t want a gun rack that looks like that though!

I’d crawl over glass on my hands and knees to be able to get those stocks in the UK. with the pound, they won’t ship to me in Canada. I think it’s our customs, won’t allow wood in.
So yes you do. Be one of a few. Crow
Thanks the rack was made of scrap wood. One of six. I got bit by the bug 3 1/2 years ago hooked on springers.I like the gun rack you made. Even more so what its holding! Nice pic!

Your going to love that Pro Sport.
Did you get .177 or .22?
I got to tell you, enjoy the ride. Crow

Crow, your rack and collection is superb. My .17 TX200 is a gem. On the bench it's long, stable, accurate to 50y and easy to cock. I would love to shoot a PS someday, but I'm a happy camper now.
Let me know when you want to "thin the herd"

I can’t speak, much, for the AAs, but I can tell you about the Revere. I own one in .177, UK Specked at Sub-12. It’s just a gem! Love the looks of the shorter air tube, I’m what you call an Airgun snob/diva when it comes to looks. It gives about 140 shots to a fill in .177. It’s accurate as all get out, and freaking deadly! The cocking lever might as well be from a Red Wolf, zero effort. I can just keep on…..
I did shoot a TX twice. I love their looks, but wasn’t too keen on that anti-bear trap. I think the perfect AA would be a PS with a TX Stock in Walnut & no bear trap business.

Another vote for the TX200. I have mine at 12 fpe and she is smooth like silk now. Very easy to cock and shoot. The Pro Sport looks like a PITA to cock shoot.

My Diana 280 gonna be jealous

The hunstman Revere in lefty is a great rifle. Almost boring to shoot. Lightweight enough it can be taken in the woods for hunting.
Haven’t seen a lefty TX200, but the loading is a bit difficult. As compared to the rotary mag on the Revere. The TX are beautiful guns though.
Either will be a great choice, enjoy.

I got my PS in .177 Walnut. I am enjoying this ride and I can honestly say that I am not just forgetting about my PCP guns either. I can‘t help but notice that you have two of each gun offered by AA. Did you go with one in .177 and one in .22? And if you had to pick what would you choose TX or PS?

Your first on the list. Enjoy your rifle. Crow
I know, you are connected with that TX. Serious shooting. Crow
I’m going to tune one of mine to 12 FPE.
When I first used the Pro Sports I absolutely hated them , found the jacking awkward. I tried different ways and now honestly they are my two of my favourite. I tried jacking it standing, had no problem. Crow
Another happy customer. Give us some pics when you get it. Enjoy CrowSigh....

Yes I the TX’s and PS’s in both calibres. That’s all they offer. Wish there was a .20 cal.
I like the Pro Sport over the TX. Crow

This afternoon I grabbed my Pro Sport .22. Here’s first 5 shots 
That’s 4 below and I pulled one, 43 yds.
Next 5 shots again 43 yds.
My .177 same deal. I have a harder time doing this with any of my other rifles. Crow
