Out of the box, untuned, TX200HC

If you can lay your hands on a V mach kit, the 97k

Personally........ both :wink:

Based on cocking effort, trigger, and recoil

It is really difficult to choose as both are extremely well built and look nice and a pleasure to shoot.I have both and if I must choose,I may just go with the HW-97K.Somehow,for me, the trigger feels way much better and you can sense the trigger breaking till the last moment.Also, the weight and balance are better,for me again, as I feel that the TX200 is a bit whippy in my hands. As you can see, these are quite subjective opinions.

What do you think,BTW?

Best-

I found Tx200HC a bit front heavy. Never handled a MKIII. I think the best thing is to venomise a HW97 if its fit you.

Why not a prosport? Same TX powerplant, very smooth and fits like a glove (For me)

I have to echo the sentiment. Having shot both the TX and the Prosport, I prefer the latter. It just feels.....right. Better balance, handling, recoil and trigger (and looks). I have been wanting to sell mine (family pressure, too many guns :roll: ) but baulk every time.

Though I will only let the V Mach-ed Weirauchs go from my cold dead hands. Even then you'll need a pair of pliers and a crowbar to prise them open.
