Air Arms Ultimate Springers Now On Pre-Order At Pyramyd Air

Air Arms Ultimate Springers are another recent introduction from the famous British airgun manufacturer. They’re now available for pre-order at Pyramyd Air. They follow-on from the recent announcement of the XTi-50 FT PCP air rifle.

These new models are versions of the long-standing TX200 and TX200 Hunter Carbine (shorter length) spring/piston air rifles. Available in both .177 and .22 calibers, these guns include stocks with an adjustable cheekpiece and buttpad.

The cheekpiece is adjustable in both the vertical and horizontal planes. The 3-axis rubber buttpad for ideal fit and comfort, says the manufacturer. It also includes a ball joint for complete tilt and rotation adjustment.

Another change is the incorporation of an adjustable, high-luster trivalent chrome-plated, two-stage trigger with a tactile finish for improved feel.

The Lothar-Walther “match grade” barrel and basic action are carried-over from the existing models, together with the superlative fit and finish found on Air Arms air rifles.

The TX200 MkIII was a HAM Gold Award winner when we reviewed it back in 2015. Nothing has changed to alter that opinion in the intervening years!

Both the full-length TX200 and the Hunter Carbine version are available with the enhanced stock in walnut, laminate and black-stained beech finishes. The price is the same for all models at $1,499.99 in the USA.

That is a significant increase from the regular models – eg the “basic” TX200 MkIII with walnut stock at $879.99 (or $779.99 with beech stock) – however Field Target cognescenti and other dedicated springer shooters may find Air Arms Ultimate Springers a “must have” upgrade…

What! That's a lot of money for a springer, even one with the AA TX200 name on it. My TX200 MKIII .22 in a beautiful walnut is just over 2 and a 1/2 years old and still makes my heart flutter to shoot: not from the lofty price, but from just how accurately it shoots, how smooth it is and lastly, how beautiful this rifle is. Can these new TX200s outdo my rifle in any one the the above factors? If so, I'll get on the pre-order list. These new models are indeed lovely to behold, but for now . . . I'll wait. Orv.

Wow! Those look great!

That's a lot of money for a few upgrades. I have been asking Air Arms to make a full up FT rifle to have a flagship springer like they have a flagship PCP. This was a good start, upgraded trigger parts and a match grade Walther barrel. The need to make a 12 ft lbs option only with a piston that has a longer piston stem like the original MkI rifles had. They also need a full up match stock. I would hate to spend $1500 on a rifle just to replace the stock with another expensive match stock. It would be nice to have an adjustable muzzle weight of some sort too to help balance the rifle. I would also add vibration dampening to the stock and action.

BRAD: Now, with the upgrades you describe, the value of these new springers may be justified. Let's see if the purchasing public would agree if the new TX200's are worth the money. Orv.

The proof is in the pudding. Time will tell if they are sellers.
