r/Springers

Hey y'all, I have a few PCP rifles and I'm okay with them, but I'd like some direction on a springer, under or side, or break barrel for last choice for backpacking. I don't want to carry the pump on a long ruck. So, let's say .22 cal, under 12 lbs, good to 30 yrd. Is that possible? The last springer I owned was a pump-up Crossman 7xx, 30ish years ago. TIA

I know this is the real debate question so I’m going to open it up and see if I can have my collection grow with Reddit’s help.

I have a HW97KT synthetic stock beautiful rifle. I’ve got a tbt maxi pro kit in it with the short stroke extension. So it’s less loud in my ear and the bounce is pretty much gone.

I just get these ideas about getting another springer and the choice is obviously the TX200.

Those who own both or have owned both, which is in your opinion the best? How do you compare? What about with the kit fitted?

If I’m buying a TX200 I’ll get the full length ultimate springer so curious if anyone can talk about this model in particular.

Hey,

I grew up shooting 99s break barrels in .177, as a kid this was great around the farm and target shooting. Years have gone by and we have just had our first child. I want to get back into shooting targets and quarry but want a rifle that will last so I can teach my lad when he gets old enough.

The Weihrauch 99s was my grandads and I did buy a BSA lightning Tactical XL when I was a teenager, though felt I couldn't hit anything with it, unlike the 99s.

So kinda looking at the Weihrauchs, the question is I never got to use an underlever and not sure which to go for. In my mind since the barrel stays fixed on an underlever is should be more accurate, but that is coming from a place of no experience.

Any suggestions and reasons why I should go with one mechanism over the other?

P.s I saw a great post here about the HW77k vs HW97k and really like that until I went to look up the rifles and they were underlever but since I have no experience of an underlever hence the question. Thank you in advance.
