Just sharing my experience with the TX200 and the HW97KT, and the Gamo Coyote..
I used to have the TX200hc in 22 and the Gamo, and still have the HW97k in the blackline configuration (black synthetic). All are in 22 cal btw. I equipped the TX with the Vortek since I felt it a bit harsh during the firing cycle and a bit "Twangy" . Cycle smoothed out significantly and after sight picture holds still. Then I purchase the HW97.. Shot it out of the box and to my surprise, it does pellet on pellet grouping with the smoother trigger (to my opinion). There's a bit of "shake" after each shot but if you hold it correctly, the pellet goes to where you point it. I bought a Vortek kit for the HW but up to now I haven't installed it since I feel there's no need for it yet.. HW rifle shoots almost as accurate as some of my PCP's if done right... The Gamo I used to have is very accurate as well but a bit heavy. I sold it to get my AirArms S410 which is another very accurate rifle. Goodluck on your search!

I got the description wrong. Thanks for pointing out the syntax.
My question now is; do the other rifles I'm comparing to the TX200 also need an upgrade to be competitive out of the box?
A tuning might be down the road but I'm starting out and would like opinions on which of these three .177 under levers are closest to match ready out of the box.
Weihrauch HW97k
Walther LGU
AA TX200
They are all close in price unless it has to be upgraded with a $$$ kit.
All are well loved by their owners but one seems to get the 'shoots great right out of the box' comment more than the others.
To me, velocity is less important than repeatable accuracy, as in one shot at 40mm kill zone at 55 yards for HFT.
