My silhouette scores are comparable with my Falcon PCP. I love shooting Offhand with the Pro Sport, esp silhouette. They do recoil a bit, but much smoother than 'ordinary' springers,Īs they are virtually 'tuned' out the factory. I prefer the Pro Sport, (15 ft/lbs) as it's a little lighter, and better balance for me,Īs I find the TX a bit weighty, and too much up front. They both came out of Pyramyd Air in the US of A. Two of the finest spring air rifles that money can buy. I have both the latest Air Arms Pro Sport and the TX 200 Mk III. There isn't much else out there worth wasting your time on. In case you have not figured it out I think the three top sporter spring air rifles are the pro sport, the TX200, and the HW77/97. The later models have two added screws in the stock to help with this problem. When the gun is cocked it puts a lot of pressure on the stock and as a result my stock is split and I put a furniture bolt thru it and it seems to be fine. i still am using my original arm but a friend has replaced his bent one with an expensive custom arm. The little clip that attaches to the cocking arm is a weak point and I replaced mine several times the last being a very well made custom part. The pro sport does have some weak points that the TX and the HW77 do not. It is as accurate as any springer but you really can't shoot them off a bench so i can't discuss group sizes. I still have it and mostly shoot just field target with it. the spring never broke, it just got weak. i shot the rifle both in silhouette and field target for many many years and just rebuilt it about two years ago. It has much better balance than the TX 200 of which I have had several. The firing behavior is very nice, quiet and reasonably powerful. I have had it since it was new and it is a nice rifle.
