Very enjoyable, love you enthusiasm and accuracy. I have the Walther LGV in .22 and it's a brilliant gun that can equal my AirArms PCP for accuracy. It has been like a tutor to improve my shooting and being a break-barrel has a nostalgic buzz harking back to my Diana when I was just a sprog. I love the self-contained aspect of springers. All you need is a tin of pellets - not even large muscles as a child could cock it. A silencer quietens it but to be frank isn't really needed. I think the added weight of the cocking lever on the LGU helps to fight against barrel flip but I wouldn't swap my LGV for one. These two are the Rolls-Royce of spring guns, (and just as smooth/quiet) and don't need a thing doing to them straight out of the box unlike some other famous names. Thanks again for your hugely enjoyable and honest videos, regards, Mike
I'll tell you what you have done. You just sold the TX200 as my next purchase. Nothing against the excellent rifle you tested. But I was considering the TX200, or another pcp. Your shooting with this fine springer has inspired me. I enjoyed watching you progress with accuracy. You did a great job explaining the difference between springer and pcp throughout this series. I realize that you're someone that owns a RedWolf. To do this well with a springer is amazing. I could feel your respect for the springer growing, as you learned to shoot it well. This is an important video for anyone that can't, or dosen't want to spend the money on pcp airguns. You can buy this rifle and do anything within 50yards, as far as hunting goes. No air tanks, compressor, hand pump, etc. This is traditional air gunning at its finest. BRAVO ❤ 💣 💯 👏 ❤ 💣 💯
Wow. This is a lovely comment. Thank you Heith. That's really kind of you to say. I hope to try the TX200 soon... I am expecting good things. Take care.
Most enjoyable video once again,a nice looking rifle and good shooting it just goes to show how accurate a well made springer can be particularly an under lever where the barrel is fixed,you really enjoy your shooting as it shows in your enthusiasm,i look forward to your next offering,kind regards,Phil.
I bought a new bsa lightning se in 22 a few months ago and what a cracking springer it is and for the price you honestly can’t go wrong. Accuracy is excellent along with the looks and build quality it’s a cracking little springer as a grab and go rifle and a good contender as a first springer. I do however have a couple of weihrauch’s in the form of the 99s and 95k but the bsa is definitely one to consider if you don’t like a auto safety catch. Give one a go bud as there are only a couple of videos for them on RU-vid.
I will absolutely try one when I get the chance. Thanks for the excellent response and please consider subscription to the channel if you liked the video! Take care.
Hi Chris, Thank you for another good video/review. I would like to raise a few points and see what you thought, if I may, Chris? Shooting springers is very different to pcp's. I know you'll know that. As you practice there, you are resting your fore end on your bean bag. However, if you were, then going out into the field, you'd, I'd presume be using the palm of your hand on the fore end. That would, I would expect, affect your accuracy. I would think it essential when you were practising, to rest your rifle on the palm of your hand, then the bean bag. Also, hold your rifle loosely and the same way every time. That is known as artillary hold, allowing your rifle to recoil/kick. With springers, it is absolutely essential that they are held the absolute same way every time they're shot. Even a padded jacket around your shoulder/chest, as opposed to a t-shirt, can alter your accuracy. This is why many people prefer pcp's. They don't recoil and are easier to shoot and be accurate. It's also why other people prefer springers. They are a real challenge to shoot accurately, require more practice and devotion, but so pleasing when you hit the bullseye. I hope you don't mind me raising these points. This is what I have found and learned on my airgunning journey. I love both springers and pcp's. However, they are both very different. Some people regard springers as cruel to hunt with because they are more difficult to shoot with and be accurate. However, some people are more accurate with springers than others with pcp's. I hope these points have been interpreted as positive and a help to anyone reading. Thankyou Chris and to anyone reading.
LGU is the smoothest springer that i own, the trigger is great too. I hope HW will take over some of the "silend" technology in their rifles, although Walther springers are no competition any longer since they stopped production :-(
What do you think of the synthetic stock's quality Chris ? I never handled a varmint version, but have the beech one. Only gripe is that trigger. Main overall gripe is however that Walther stopped making them top springers !
Ditto, just had the pleasure of shooting both the wood and synthetic. The synthetic is very dense and rigid unlike most synthetic dodgy stocks out there. I however prefer the feel and profile of the wood stock as it has a high cheek comb perfectly suited for an optic, the synthetic is a bit low on the comb
Try a hw99s, drop a tbt kit in, degrease polish and regrease, re-asemble. It's not a£ 500 -600 like those lgu and lgv and hw77 -98-97, aa prosport etc...... You will be pleasantly surprised.
The tx 200 mk1 i bought soon as it came out the stock was good but awful to look at the gun was fantastic should have kept it now i have a question for the everyone out of the walther the tx and the 97 which do you think is the best straight out of the box ?
Joe, you are most welcome. Don't worry about it, I know I can't please everyone, so I don't bother. I don't see any point in communicating silly things though! I will continue to make content.
