jay2k123 2 Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 never fired one mate.that said i have heard you either get ones that can group fairly well or they spit pellets out grouping like a shotgun.i myself would hang on and save just a little more then trawl the for sale sections on forums.get someone with a second hand weihrauch and go for that atb John Quote Link to post
Lee85 44 Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 I was thinking the price is a bit 'too fair' you know! second hand may be the way Quote Link to post

zini 1,939 Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 (edited) Hi Lee, The rifle looks ok mate, but if i was you and could wait a little longer i would save up some more money and either get a second hand Weihrauch HW95K or a new Webley Xocet. http://www.airgunbuyer.com/Showproducts.asp?cat=Air%20Rifles&SubCat=Webley%20Air%20Rifles Si Edited May 27, 2010 by zini Quote Link to post

Phantom 631 Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 I won't be parted with my SMK XS19 shoots like a dream, knocks over most things I aim at and delivers lead exactly where I want it Its a direct copy of the Gamo Hunter and I have also shot the SMK copy of the TX200 which also delivered the goods on the range The Americans love their BAM's as they are called over there. Can tune em to be as sweet as you want. I've heard loads of people slate em, but then I found one or two good reports one from a lad in Hull. They are actually manufactured in China, but they are taken apart in the UK and modified to reduce the power output to our limit. Purchased mine second hand dirt cheap and I love it. Using my S200 has made me lazy though, must put in more effort to get the 19 out and kill bunnies. Heres mine with an early kill, bunny was shot at 30 or 35 yards and as you can see the placement of the pellet was spot on. I love this image, little bit of 'Country Art' dont you think? I'm going to have it put on canvas and put it on my wall Phantom Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Nice priced gun, but dont expect it to last for ever, or become a legend, good starter gun Quote Link to post
