I just ordered the last TX200 that Straightshooters had left, a Beech .22 MKIII. Hopefully I will like it have shot one a few times 30 yrs ago shooting field target.Ive got 8 other springers that I shoot hunt with so hopefully I wont regret getting the TX.Would of preferred the shorter version to hunt with but cant be any heavier then a RWS 54 I owned and squirrel hunted with.

I doubt you will regret your choice of rifle.
used to carry a .40 custom percussion muzzleloader squirrel hunting that weighed a bit over 13#, talk about dragging it around it actually made the top of your shoulder sore after carrying it on it all morning.
