The Air Arms TX 200 rifles have stocks specifically design for right or left hand shooters. You are going to want a Right Handed stock. Perhaps you can do stock trade for a right handed stock? Try tge AGN classifieds on this site.
I really like my 97KT but also have a number of other springers to shoot. The TX 200 both old & new versions are great also. As my HW 97 is only used for targets the weight is not an issue. Re the safety, I push it to fire with my right hand thumb before putting my hand thru tge thumb hole...
I own 2, a .177 & .22cal. I just have sticker shock @ them current pricing. However, if you want to own 1 of the best springers, the TX 200 & HW 97 are the ones.
I agree with the direction discussed here about the future of Springer Air Rifles. My approach has been to purchase pre owned rifles & tune as needed. Many air rifles shooters are selling their springers which means opportunities to purchase quality guns at bargain pricing.
I just looked at the Pyramid Air prices on the TX 200’s & they seemed to have really increased. Beech stock @ $775.00 Walnut Left handed @ $920.00. What happened?
Very impressive. Are these 10 shot groups? What is the size of the H&N pellets, 5.53 or 5.54? My HW 97 shows a preference for the 5.54’s & also has the Vortek tune kit.
2 things to remember: Cock the trigger when re installing & then fire it once it’s in. The barrel needs to be re attached before you finished the spring install.
The responses are very helpful. I just ordered the blue book of Airguns so that will be a helpful reference. At present I’m not clear a on how condition impacts pricing.
Those of you who collect airguns, what are your standards for condition? NIB / 95%, rarities? I look at for sale guns on the classifieds & hope to learn what you who are collectors look for.
