I bought an RWS 54 in .22 earlier this year and it's a pip, but too heavy to carry around much. Kinda wish I'd bought a PCP. The big disadvantages of springers are the recoil affect on POI that most suffer and that you can't leave them cocked and ready for any length of time without weakening the spring. Some of the PCPs are very quiet, which may be an advantage for backyard shooters. The springers you mention are good guns and that TX200 seems to be highly regarded as well.


What fresh Hell is this?
