chewy0013 Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 http://www.freeads.co.uk/uk/leisure/sports...xs20-tuned/view Its amazing just how stupid people really are! Its people like this that give decent shooters like us a bad name. "i have tuned this rifle so its regulated over the uk power" whats really amazing is that people seem to see the power being over the legal limit as a selling point!

alexr Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 (edited) This is made up isn't it. Zeroed to 10 yards killed a rabbit at 50 yards with a head shot..... better shot than I am or at least more confident. My S410 is zeroed at 30 yrds with a MAP 6 scope and I would think more than twice about attempting a 50 yard shot at a rabbit. I reckon this is some one looking to con others into parting with their cash. either that or its a boastful buffoon. Mind you my gun is under the 12 ftlb limit Edited April 28, 2010 by alexr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Downie Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 This is made up isn't it.

My S410 is zeroed at 30 yrds with a MAP 6 scope and I would think more than twice about attempting a 50 yard shot at a rabbit. Point taken of course, but remember that when most folk talk about their gun being 'zeroed at 30yds', they're talking about the second zero on the trajectory. Mine is zeroed at 33yds, but my first zero is at 14yds. 50yds with my chosen pellet would be 2 mildots at x10, and if it was a calm day and a relaxed bunny, I'd have a go.

hyflier Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Didn't SMK produce that wonderful piece of engineering called the B2? I think we may be reading an article of stuff and nonsense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Downie Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Exactly the same advert has been placed/reported/removed in many other advertising sites, I think. I expect the gun is not over-limit at all, the advert is just worded to make it sound more awesome than it actually is. Also the wording is very vague: 'tuned to just over UK power' doesn't actually mean anything - there's no such thing as 'UK power', so he's not actually promising to sell an FAC gun, and therefore probably not actually breaching any laws or terms/conditions of advertising. Not worth bothering about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackinbox99 Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Didn't SMK produce that wonderful piece of engineering called the B2? I think we may be reading an article of stuff and nonsense Thats exactly what i was thinking! I had a B2 and it was the biggest waste of money ive ever spent. Saying that, i did hit and kill 1 magpie with it once, but think that was sheer luck. I chrono`d it once and it was pushing out a staggeringly high 6ft/lb!!!!

aaron airgunner Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 this guy is obviously joking. "finest italian stock" "made by highly trained gunsmiths in england" he's making a joke about how **** SMK is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colster Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 I hate ******* like this, SMK maybe ok rifles for begineers but Italian stock and British gunsmiths Reported it for being illegal to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
