I don’t think the choice of pellets was a fair test as that particular S200 doesn’t seem to like those pellets. I shoot AA diabolo field 8.4gr out of my S200 and regularly get 10mm groups at 25m. Given the right pellet you would see much different results from the S200
I’m sorry but I didn’t see anything in this video that convinced me to buy a DW. For the money I could buy an impact or wildcat and a nice scope. And have better accuracy and precision.
Great review-well done guys! Love Weihrauch rifles and have two spring HW but my Daystate Renegade is probably thee most accurate rifle I’ve ever owned and without bragging I’ve owned quite a few PCP rifles. My HW spring rifles are keepers and my Renegade is staying with me forever!
Hi chris i was looking at one of these the other day glad to see this video because i now wouldn't buy one ! Iv a daystate mk3 that shoots better out to fifty yards !
@@southwestshooters nothing wrong with your shooting chris just enjoy it iv found it doesn't matter the cost of the rifle find the right pellet for that barrel and your shooting will look amazing 😉
I've seen reviews with more bells and whistles and reviews that were more entertaining, but that wasn't what I was looking for at all when I typed in walther rm8 vs bsa ultra clx. I've been looking at both recently (having not shot or even held either) and whilst innately knowing they would exhibit comparably similar performances i didn't think that i would actually be able to find a direct comparison on RU-vid, being that they are both effectively middle range guns for their respective brands in terms of pricing and features. Thank you for the clear, concise, no bullshit review. A little bit more info on the guns would have been appreciated, but im aware of the specs already and for what I was looking for, that wasn't really needed.
I would like to suggest the fact that this gun was so pellet fussy is maybe the reason it was up for sale. My own .177 prosport was very very accurate and not pellet fussy at all. At 30 yards it would produce one hole groups all day long in fact it was so predictable it became a bit of a bore to shoot. My own shooting abilities are really only average so the fact that this gun performs so well is down to the gun not my shaky old arms.
Great video! Nevertheless, it's crazy to see India manufactured pcp air rifle which is unregulated(.177 cal) at a price tag of about 250USD, with a little tweak can shoot as good as high end pcp like Daystate and Fx here. I'm talking about Px100, India manufactured pcp
Informative video, thank-you. The Lothar Walther barrels on my Air Arms rifles like JSBs. My BSA does not. Best pellet I have tried in my BSA is BSA Gold Star. I suggest two pellets as a "universal" offering: QYS streamlined (9.56 grain) and H&N Baracuda (10.65 grain). These shoot well in all my rifles, just not the absolute best in each. As ever, your mileage may vary. 😀
Whole lot of nonsense. First of, what is, in this particular case the meaning of "preowned"? 2.) If it means HEAVILLY tuned, altered, thus lots of money invested in, then one has to be very much aware of it (when considering the purchasing a new one). 3.) At 01:02 you say "Gamo Fox", so is it a fox, coyote or a hyena, pal? 4.) "introduction to high-end PCP"??? There is no such category - it is simply an ENTRY level PCP gun (rifle), that's what it is. 5.) Small shot-count? No way - 80 shots per fill is a very decent shot-count, every air gunner will tell you that. 6.) Judging upon the movement of your forefinger, that trigger-blade travels a long, long way and is weighing a lot.
I think you might need to spend some time away from the computer? It's nothing to get worked up about old chap. Sure, I called it the wrong name, the other stuff really isn't that important to me. I certainly don't care about it, or your opinions either.
@@southwestshooters Of course you don't care - you don't care because you don't really understand what it is all about. Anyway, I wrote my comment to warn other people who might get misinformed thanks to you.
If you want us to see the accuracy of the gun.....zero the bloody thing in and use the same pellets for a portion of your video...THEN....do the other pellets 👍🏻
Nice video. I've just seen this two years down the road. I agree with quite a few of the comments that none of these are true budget guns so it would be fairer to find each guns prefered top two pellets. Once you find out that you can have a much fairer comparision, but also on average a shorter barrel is not quute as accurate/consistant so maybe two tests one model in a short bullpup version and then its longer barreled version or nearest equivalent. Sorry to push this a bit more but also the same make and model of scope not necessarily the top of the range maybe the next lower model range or even the one below that, which are still high end for most people if in 2024 we are talking 200 plus priced scopes upto around 300. I think many upgrading to a gun like the redwolf would have a scope around this level and sink the money fully into getting the best air rifle possible and upgrade to a high-end scope later down the road. Great video and over a good distance rather than the usual 20m to 30m tests we see more often. Watched this because looking at a new PCP most likely the FX Wildcat, Brocock compatto the HW100 or maybe the airwolf
Always use the correct lubrication for your air rifle. If unsure contact the manufacturer. Seals react badly to certain sprays and can seriously damage other components. WD40 is a NO NO!!
I've got to admit....thinking of buying one of these....but WAS NOT impressed with the grouping.....why not zero it in properly....if your testing at 45 yards ...then zero it in at that....and find pellets the gun likes....surely if its second hand,its been bedded in and the shop(hopefully)would have checked it all.....some of these reviews annoy me.....that was not a typical review of what this gun can actually do🤬
mate, you have a good channel, a better mic n cameras, and a bit of editing for the pauses while talking would help, but you should absolutely keep it going! not enough airgun channels, and yours, in my humble opinion, has real potential. stick with it mate and I'll tune in everytime..............as long as its about airguns haha.
Thanks for the review, Chris. I have the full length Mk3 walnut version in .177". After decades of shooting PCP and rimfire, I found the lock time a little slow - my information is that the piston stroke on the current Mk3 is longer than on the Mk2 (which is what you appear to be testing). I understand that this is for 18 ft-lb versions for the American market - but the softer springs in the UK model give the slower lock time and consequent hold sensitivity. I fitted the TBT kit to short-stroke mine (no affiliation) and it is now a total joy to shoot. It likes QYS wad-cutters (Training Grade) for target work out to 25 yards but my absolute favourite are JSB Exact in 4.53mm. As mine is just for target work, I fitted spacers to give me 10.5 ft-lb for the tightest groups with my shooting technique. I get best results on a rest almost at the balance point, with a little weight towards the butt, lightly resting on the shoulder for consistent movement under recoil. As ever, your mileage may vary. My TX200 is most definitely a keeper, it compares very well to my AA S400 (with after-market regulator).
This TX is a early MK3 if you watch the video at 9:33 you can see the loading port has 3 notches so from left to right it has 1 notch then 2 closer together that denotes its a MK3. The Mk2 has 3 notches all evenly spaced and the MK1 has no bear trap so no notches. The Mk3 has been out longer than people think. The Mk3 was released onto the market in March 1998 Sorry for correcting you I do know a fair bit about these. As a bit of trivia for you the T in the TX is in recognition of Ken Turner for his input and contribution to the guns design it would have been the X200 otherwise, hope this helps
