About the Air Arms TX200
The Air Arms TX200 is a spring-piston, underlever-cocking single-shot air rifle chambered in .177 (4.5 mm) and .22, built in Hailsham, England. Long regarded as the benchmark sporting springer, it pairs a fixed Lothar Walther match barrel with a built-in moderator, an anti-beartrap safety, and a smooth underlever loading system. Its self-contained powerplant and adjustable two-stage trigger have made it a perennial favourite for accuracy-focused plinking, pest control, and field target competition.
Introduced in the early 1990s, the TX200 became the standard against which sporting spring-piston air rifles are judged, prized for out-of-the-box accuracy, refined finish, and a recoil-managed shot cycle that suits demanding field target shooting.
