About the Air Arms TX200 HC
The Air Arms TX200 HC (Hunter Carbine) is a British underlever spring-piston air rifle, a shortened carbine version of the acclaimed TX200 series. It uses a fixed barrel and a single-shot loading tap, with an integral silencer machined into the shortened barrel shroud for a compact, well-balanced package favoured for hunting and pest control. Renowned for match-grade accuracy, a refined adjustable two-stage trigger, and a walnut sporter stock, the TX200 HC is widely regarded as one of the finest springer air rifles ever produced and is offered in .177 and .22 calibres.
Air Arms is a Sussex-based airgun maker founded in 1983. The TX200 has dominated magazine spring-rifle group tests for decades and is frequently described as the benchmark by which all other underlever springers are judged.
