Unacurate Spring Rifle

[The one 8,535]

Aye check its all tight then change the scope and see what happens

And if after you have tried all this and spent 30 quid on pellets and its still crap, just accept that smks are crap and the fools were right in the first place lol

There's sound advices from the lads here but, in all honesty, a cheap air rifle like a well-used SMK will have all sorts of issues like fit of parts, stock-to-action, trigger and barrel that will spoil your accuracy, even with a decent scope and a proper pellet for it. They wear out and don't last the distance over time and you cannot expect a cheapo airgun to perform like a quality Weihrauch or Air Arms etc. There are a number of good reasons why these rifles cost a lot more. Top quality is reliable, precision accuracy that lasts your lifetime.

 

Try a more reliable scope and quality pellets. Not cheap junk. You probably will likely spend £30.00 or more trying to find one brand that tightens up your groups better than others.

 

If after all this, you still aren't happy with how it shoots, personally, I'd cut my losses, sell it and look out for a second hand Weihrauch HW80, HW97 or HW77 .22. and a good scope. Plenty about and reasonable prices too.

Spot on advice from Simon there, buy one of the rifles he mentions, but of course in .177

Yeah I wanted advice not too fools being smart arses

theyre right though lol..sy...

 

take out the spring and replace the head cap and spring..might need a nice delrin spring guide kit.

 

next..change the barrel.

 

and sort the breach seal if its a break barrel

 

after that its go round all the screw points and sort them so they dont move.

 

finally..feck the trigger unit off and put a real one in.

 

sy..but thats how it goes. a few quid less than just buying a weirauch that'll wazz all over it as a standard.
