I do not really use the artillery hold either. I do a variation of free recoil with my TX200.

Yes, Ive got the number one. It needs to be cut off. There should be half an inch sticking out of the tube (so you can screw the piece where the trigger mechanism sits on it by hand, without any need for a clamp). Mine is 4.5 cal. and its about 20 joules. Logically the side you cut needs to be finished too.

I have owned both. Had the newest and most expensive TX 200 with the laminated adjustable stock. When I received this gun the cheekpiece mounting screws were stripped. After 300 rounds the trigger was no longer holding adjustment and would occasionally fire when taking off the safety. Another 100 rounds and it would no longer cock. Now the good things about it. It was very accurate and stock and metal finish were excellent. This is basically a great gun if the QC inspector had been doing his job at the factory that day. The gun was returned to the seller and I received a no hassle full refund. Now about the HW 97K Blue Laminate that I bought next. Excellent fit and finish. Accuracy every bit as good if not a little better than the TX 200 I had. But both rifles were almost PCP accurate at 35 yards. The HW 97K has the Record trigger with in my opinion is the better trigger. If you want to hunt with either gun they are heavy and both beg for a sling. The cocking latch on the HK 97K is much more secure when mounting the sling attachment on the cocking rod. If your buying the gun to shoot off the bench or in matches the TX 200 cocking rod latch system makes it faster to use. Loading the pellet is easier on HW 97K due to the larger loading port. As long as you don't have arthritis or dexterity problems in the hands the TX 200 loading shouldn't be a problem.

I owned both guns in .22 cal, got rid of them long ago, didn't like the slower velocities of .22 cal in a springer, however I recently came across an awesome deal on a new HW97K in .177 and this gun is a different story. Once broken in and the correct pellet was used this gun is a keeper for sure.Took at least one tin of pellets to break in, don't even bother picking the correct pellet until this is done first. I also hardened the stock around screws with thin CA, screws no longer come lose. The pellet of choice for my HW97K in .177 is the H&N Barracuda 8 in 8.44gr. Shoots them around 890fps and accurate as hell, like a PCP @ 50 yards and beyond. This is one of the first springers I have owned that never needed a kit installed or modified. Spring twang is almost non existent after 1000 rounds.

I recently bought some those baracuda 8's, but I haven't tried them in my 97K yet. You should try the QYS 8.48 also, they shoot great out of my 97K.
