The TX is easy to cock for me, just releasing the cocking arm from spring is hard on fingers, especially when colder. I find the PS cocking arm just pops out. Crow

Which? TX200 or Pro Sport. Why?
- Thread starter crowski
- Start date
Crow…im glad you have a good pair of Pro sports. The leak issue is sporadic and probably less than 10 %
They are marginally harsher, but for the look, many live with that.
Its still a top 3 sporting springer …with very many rifles below it..

For those of you with theTX200 &Pro-Sport. Could 1 of you post a side by side pic. I have a TX 200 and want to see the difference between the 2. TIA

I have both, and have owned a large number of springers (R7, R8, R9, HW97K, RWs52) and PCPs (Mrod, 6 RAWs, 7 FX, 2 Daystates). My latest of these two categories is the TX200 and Daystate Revere in .177 caliber. Both are beautifully made rifles of the best quality. The TX is much heavier and you have to "break it in" by shooting a tin or two of pellets. Some may disagree. It does shoot well out of the box, but if you want the best accuracy, the spring system has to settle in. I installed a Vortek 12 fpe kit in it to make it easier to cock with less "twang". It does behave a little better. You had better eat your spinach to make your arm like Popeye because you'll get a workout cocking this thing. On the other hand, the Revere shoots perfectly right out of the box. Mine is unregulated and I get 75 or so shots per fill. It is much lighter and to me, is more beautifully proportioned. I can cock the lever with my pinky and it sure is nice to have a 13 shot magazine. IMO, the Revere is far more accurate than the TX. I guess I finally have to admit that I'm a PCP guy. Get both and you can see for yourself.

I would order the proper one. Time flies at our age. In that 3-4 months you can hunt down another rifle. I asked about the new stocks on Thursday at shop. Again the guy mentioned, that there’s talks Air Arms wants to discontinue the Pro Sport according to his rep. That’s 3rd time I heard that from them. Hope not. Crow

I would go with the full length tx 200 has well if I had to choose just between those rifles.
You don't see that much pro sports in competitions you see loads of tx 200 hw97 and walther lgu so must be something in it.
Also if doing FT you will almost definitely need a hamster as above a hamster on a pro sport would be a pain.
