What's everyone's favorite airgun so far

It is a good question, I found AGN searching for vintage airguns to buy but, I was not a member and of course did not have 10 quality posts. If you google search a specific airgun it will show you that gun in AGN classified ads but if you are not an active member you cannot buy it.

proper spelling an punctuation
content relevant to airguns.
i'm jesting about spelling and punctuation but it sure makes content more readable.

Quality posts, to me, are an indication of interest, involvement & desire to become a part of this "community". For very many of us the Classifieds are just a fringe benefit of being on a communication platform where people so generously share their knowledge & wisdom & sometimes equipment trying to engender in others the love & affection we have for airgunning. I can usually perceive whether a new person is just trying to get through the drudge of 10 posts only so they can buy or sell or if they're genuinely ENTHUSED about being a part of this "addiction self help" brotherhood.

My favorite is the one I am currently shooting. I prefer springers to PCP's even on windy days like today. Rolling Stones won the toss today, Some Girls and Exile on Main Street back to back.

The TX200 .177 has the spotlight for another 40 minutes then I am going to shoot my HW97k .20 until it is time to leave.

Space is free on the forums, leave some room and make it easy on my wind burnt eyeballs to read these posts.

I was debating between the tx200 and the hk97k! Do you prefer the hk97k over the tx200? Or is it the pellet size difference?

My current favorite is the only one I own. :cool: I got it only a few weeks ago. Benjamin Marauder F&T (regulated with Lothar barrel). It seems I picked a pretty good one for my first. I don't know if I'll get another or what it might be. Time will tell. For now, I'm going to have a lot of fun with this one!

This question has been around since the two rifles have been available. I was not able to figure out which one is better so I purchased both.

The cocking arm on the TX200 doesn't seem to have the leverage that the HW97k has to me.

I have the HW97k set at 15 fpe and the TX200 set to 12 fpe. Makes either rifle a pretty flat shooter out to 80 yards.

The HW97k is all business in the beech stock. Trigger is right at one pound after setting it. If I do my part and the wind cooperates I can shoot dime-sized spinners at 55 yards. Typical Weihrauch mechanicals. Nice blueing. The shot cycle is sublime. .20 helps with the wind.

The TX200 is a little more refined, the walnut stock is perfect. Best palm swell ever. Nicer than my Regal stocks and that is saying a lot. The trigger is set back and breaks around 12 ounces from the factory. Dime-sized groups all day long if the wind isn't crazy. The TX200 is a breeze to work on. Very deep blueing.

I cannot tell you which one to start with. They are both fantastic rifles. I was not able to handle them before purchase. I recommend physically handling the rifles and see which one fits better.

Good luck!

Thank you max, handling them first is great advice. Maybe I’ll see which one is love at first sight 😁
