What springer should I get?
I am used to the MOA accuracy and power of my BSA/Talon. I know a springer might be harder to shoot accurately and I can’t expect the same power but what rifle do you guys think would impress me? I want a high quality and accurate springer because sometimes I would just like to shoot and not pump like I have to with my PCPs. I want accuracy out to 100 yards. What model and cal. would you guys recommend?

.22 TX200MK3. My longest kill with it was at 74 yards on a pigeon. If the conditions are right, it will do the same job at 100.

scroll down to the RWS Target hunter model 56
it is 695
and is one accurate gun
I want one of these some day for benchrest shooting
‘good’ springers… in no particular order….
AATX200-all variants
HW97
HW77
AA PS
RWS 54
R9
R1
R11
Of course you have the gas rams….
100 yard accuracy is going to be hard and to be honest, your best bet there for bench 100 yard shooting would be an RWS 54.
For 65 Yards and under, any of the above should do you well.
Jeff I bought a Beeman RX2 last year great gun it’s allot of gun “heavy” but man they shoot great gas ram not spring first one I had and love it mine is 20cal because that is what came up for sale when I was looking for one, don’t regret the 20cal at all very smooth to cock accurate as any of the best out there kind of pricey but used ones are out there 😆
Jeff sent you a PM about an AA TX200 MKIII.

I figured someone would say “Get a tank” but I have no place close to fill. I am young so I don’t have a problem with pumping but it would be nice to be able to shoot a few hundred rounds without having to stop and pump. I also like the idea of grabbing the rifle, a tin of pellets, and just shooting.
put your springer money into a 75 cu ft carbon fibre bottle from AOA.
for 539 with jubilee valve and fill hose its a steal.
then you can shoot your PCPs all day with no worries or sore back.

Thanks for the responses guys. I think I’m just going to keep a look out for a good deal for now.
