I have an smk 3-9x40 on my smk 19.

 

Good scope for a springer, very good for the money too

great thanks i would rather listen to experience on here then buy one rather than buy one on impulse which is how i got the rifle.

only went into my local gun smiths for some maggots for a bit of trout fishing down the river and seen it in the window, five mins later

driving home with maggots and a shiny new rifle

I would be worrying about the mounts before getting any decent scope .....

smk mountsa are crap in my opinion. wont hold a scope on a springer in place for any more than 10 shots and makes zeroing a nightmare. go for JSR or HAWKE scopes for the best quality. nikko stirling is good too. orjust stick with open sights.

i have had both the SMK 17 and the B19, still have the B19, aaron i agree with you on the 17 about scopes but the 19 is the best, they both shoot well,

and now im saving up for a pcp

 

Cheers
