I just looked at the Pyramid Air prices on the TX 200’s & they seemed to have really increased. Beech stock @ $775.00 Walnut Left handed @ $920.00.

- Thread starter Harves
- Start date
Covid, "Covid" happened. When the whole world is collectively sent home for as long as it was, the products and services we once enjoyed became scarce, as scarce as the raw materials to build such products. No miners, means no metals, no sawyers, means no wood..

I suggest purchasing one while they are available. Incredible machines. The palm swell is worth the purchase price alone.

These tx200 might not be around much longer so if you want one then get one while you can...I made a huge mistake not buying a hw35 with the old groove stock

I usually try the buy inexpensive and then upgrade approach with things. Like my .22lr trend. I find I end up spending more there than if I had just waited until I got what reads as the best option. However with air rifle I decided to bite the bullet (so to speak) and do my TX200 MKIII. I have nto been sorry.

Looks like they went up $90 since July when I ordered mine...Life as we know it now.

I would jump on one now as a few others have suggested already.
I honestly see what happened after 08 with alot of names going under (Theoben/Webley ect) happening again with manufacturing in Europe taking a huge hit with what's currently going on right now.

I own 2, a .177 & .22cal. I just have sticker shock @ them current pricing.
However, if you want to own 1 of the best springers, the TX 200 & HW 97 are the ones.

The bluing alone is most likely responsible for the relatively high price of the TX200 compared to its competitors. I used to do firearm rebluing for allot of my local gun shops. I can say without any hesitation that the polising time required in order to produce a finish like that on the TX is what brings the price up. It's all labor and labor is expensive. The recent price increases are sure to reflect the demand vs the availability after covid but the biggest difference between the AirArms springers and their competition is in the finish.
I'm left handed and I couldn't bring myself to pay the retail price of a new TX200 Mk III so I placed a want ad and was able to locate a lefty TX200 with a walnut stock for a savings of over $200. My TX is in perfect condition and I was thrilled to find a used example at a much more affordable price.

I wouldn't fret too much about missing the Hw35 with the old finger groove stock. There's a million of them around. I'm sure you'll eventually come across a very nice used one. There's just too many not to.These tx200 might not be around much longer so if you want one then get one while you can...I made a huge mistake not buying a hw35 with the old groove stock

They are truly beautiful rifles. The UK is experiencing really tough economic times right now. More so than we here in the US. Who knows what will eventually happen to some of these makers like Air Arms or what changes may come to their product line. They definitely are rather expensive. But if you really want one, well........they aren't gonna get any cheaper. And yes, the bluing and fit/finish on the TX200 is unsurpassed. I will never part with mine.

I ordered a LH 200 at the end of April last year, the price went up $50 between the time it was ordered and when it arrived in late August. the price has since gone up again. The original price was honored, still a hard pillow to swallow, but it is a fine rifle. The only regret I have is not buying one sooner.

I bought the last one from Straightshooters they had for 130.00 under what they are selling for now a couple months ago. Put a Vortek PG4 in it, dont regret buying it at all.
