very easy to turn up the power as easy as the volume on a radio. on the side of the receiver there is a small screw you take it out and there is a smaller screw that is the one you need to turn . on the PA website find the rifle and it tells you there. you will get it up to 800 fps. I forgot which way to turn it but I think it is CC to increase. bunch of bull with AA guns they don't come with the din adaptor or the foster fitting to screw on it if using a pump
I don't want to confuse anything even more but I have seen the an Air Arms rifle also listed as S200 Target. Is this a predecessor to the current rifle being offered or another variant?I remember reading during my searching that there was also a vendor that was selling a specific configuration that was legal in a certain shooting match. Maybe Champions Choice? I don't remember.The Huma inline regulator is a nice no gunsmithing upgrade.I forgot to mention, the rifle shooting at below 600 fps should be quiet enough to not need and LDC.Taso
There are so many variations over the years, and most of them not marked/indicated.Major variations are all internal, and mostly dealing with the transfer port inside the receiver. The two adjusting screws (striker spring tension and transfer port restreiction0 can be free to move.The two adjusting screws can be made "tamper proof" and not adjustable. The normal way is to NOT SLOT the striker spring adjuster and to lock-tite it in place and to rivet over the transfer port adjusting screw.Can have one of the two adjustments made "tamper proof".Can have the passage way that the transfer port restriction screw restricts made smaller (so even if you back it all the way out, it's so small a passage, it makes little velocity change).
Eldor,I guess you'll just have to see what you get and worry about it then. :-) Pyramid Air even had in their description of the Air Arms T200 on how to set the rifle at 16J:https://www.pyramydair.com/product/air-arms-t200-sporter-air-rifle-target-sights?m=2622Taso
May be the odd ball here....but there may be no mechanical difference at all (in the US version).Tuned mine up to shoot well at 12 foot pounds. Can go higher, but the system is pretty much self-limiting (without some non-reversible mods) to 15-16 max.Once I got it running right at 12, though I’d try the simple way to DOWN TUNE it back to near match guns speeds.So all I did was run the transfer port restriction screw all the way in to it stops…then back it out ½ turn. Why ½ turn back out? Because it didn’t want to group well strangled off more.Which ends up at less than 7 foot pounds, but with at least 106 “good” 20 yard shots.So basically, can unscrew the transfer port 2 ½ turns and go to 12 foot pounds for about 45-50 shots.NEITHER are the ultimate in efficiency, but with just an allen key (not taking the rifle apart in any way) can go to two pretty useful power levels in a couple of seconds.Just to add to the confusion.Now do consider that I'm not rich enough to include "duplicates" in my airgun herd....but in this case, made the exception. They are that good..177 AA 200T as received from PA (20013). Listed as a .177 AA 200T on the left side. Accessory rail under the fore end and all the “T” stuff:But listed as 16J output on the right side (and that’s conservative if you get to adjusting things):Older (2003) .22 S200 listed as an s200 on the left side:Also listed on the right side is 16 J:Certainly there are other variations. But just because it has 200T stamped on one side doesn’t maen it’s not the 16J model.Pretty much convienced the only difference between the old S200 and the 200T (other than caliber, stock style, and a decade of time) is how the adjustments were adjusted.

But since in the States there are no restrictions on air gun power it might be very different up here in Canada. Without a license, air guns here are limited to UNDER 500 fps AND 4.2 fpe. With a license (called a "PAL", which I do have) there is no limit to the power. The gun I bought, the very last one I could find in Canada, shoots under 500 fps so it's available without needing a license. I'm just hoping that it's not set that way with any tamper proof method as mentioned above.I will be disappointed if it can't be tuned up in power, but then again for a dedicated 10-meter target rifle, more power really isn't needed. I'd just like the rifle to be more versatile for me, that's all.

be advised the T 200 is a small light rifle like a youth rifle
