I called Airgun Depot and got on the list for a new LH AA TX200 in .177. It's a bunch of money, I sure hope it's worth it.
Well, I've done it!

I like my .22. Wicked accurate, and not pellet picky. I wouldn’t mind getting one in .177 and use it for field target.

TX200 or the newly announced Lefty Pro Sport?
The TX200s have been available for many years.
In either case, congrats on an amazing gun!
All good for a fellow Lefty!

You just bought the most accurate piston rifle. Field Target shooters use it because they win with it. Easy to modify and lots of aftermarket stuff because it's so popular.

Congrats, my TX200 in .22 is very, very accurate, I doesn't seem to be pellet picky, else I haven't found the pellet it doesn't like. I have found that the artillery hold (very light) is the way to shoot it.
When I shoot it off the "V" rest on my tripod, I just lay it in the "V".

I use it as a lefty but yeah, your purchase is well worth it. Just definitely drop a Delrin guide kit in as the weight of the guides is why some AG's are overly "hold sensitive." AA's builds these to last. Delrin alone provides a wonderful shot cycle compared to factory OEM steel guides.

Love that gold cocking lever handle!

Lewis, I was asked about the Sport when I called but there wasn't much difference in weight so I ordered the TX200. Also the longer cocking arm on theTX200 will help with cocking effort.
JamesD, where can I get the Delrin guide kit?
I tossed around the idea of a .22 but decided on the .177 and heavy pellets.

I"d like a TX200 as well. In .177 for my preference but still, those seem to be very nice rifles. I'll get one sometime. Hope you enjoy yours.

I’ve looked at those kits myself, but they seem to be designed for the 12flbs version, and I’m not sure if extending the piston will increase power or damage the rifle. I’m not inclined to cut and dress my spring, so a drop in kit is ideal.

That's just one kit and they have several variations from 12-16 full FAC w/ spacers, 14-14.45mm.
I'm not sure what variant a MKIII or HC/Prosport (standardized from MKI or MKII take.
Lewis will know & answer when he sees.

Oh no! It's an Underlever!
Good purchase for anyone wanting to test out sandbags with accuracy on an air rifle.

Been shooting the TX200 since it came out. They need to slightly glide backward and forward as do most springers. Whatever you rest it on be sure the rifle has the freedom to recoil forward and backward a little. Be sure your rest is slippery like cloth or something. A good dampening compound on the spring is needed, delrin guide is mostly for 12 ft lb version. My current TX has all factory components, with Dow 111 to dampen the spring. Both ends of spring are polished and smooth as spring needs to rotate on firing cycle. Very smooth shot cycle, easy sub 1/2" groups at 25yds at 910 fps with 8.4 gn AA dome pellets.

I bought my TX200 in 177 last year. It is worth it! Right from the box it has a great shot cycle and is very accurate. (I use 10.3 grain FX pellets in mine.)
If you like to monkey around, then the TX200 is easy to work on and tune. Parts and info are easily accessible.
I hope you find a real winner in yours too. Enjoy it!
