hello, if the weight is not a problem at 8 plus llbs then go for it, .22 and .177 combined looks a good buy, not ideal if you do a fair bit of walking your perms so i would consider other lighter PCPs,

Personally I would go with a second hand BSA Scorpion/Ultra or something from Air Arms or Brocock, They are around the same money as a new SMK and much better built. If you have a limited budget why not go for a decent spring/gas ram air rifle?

before i went FAC i used 2 .177s PCPs a brocock and FX both giving about 50/60 shots per fill which is plenty for a night rabbit shooting unless you have a bunny farm.

if i were going to get another it would be the new brocock concept Elite which has a better shot count and guage although only 6 shot mag easy to load a couple of mags, i use to get good results hunting out to 50mtrs

hello, do you need a multi shot? there are a lot of good used PCPs for sale, another is a AA S200 in .177 good rifles and accurate can be bought s/h for about £250 80 shots per fill, you could try a dive shop for a 300 BAR bottle often sold s/h about £100 or less. that leaves you about £350 for a good rifle and scope

Woo ha! What SMK is it?

 

If it is a B2 then just hitting a target is a challenge.

If you have an XS19 well then that is from a different factory and a different rifle altogether. The XS19 is actually many rifles, other companies buy it, stick a different stock and name on it and sell it for more money! Companies like Remington and Beretta for example....

 

If you want a lighter rifle then try a Hatsan 900X breaker.

SMK 19-18 .22 springer. Thought it was a supergrade? Either way, cracking groups and about 7-8 years old :) result :L

I would be looking at a air arms s200 or a 2nd hand bsa ultra or scorpion in .177,..saying that you can get a brand new hatsan at44 10 shot with xtra mag,hawke 3.9x40 scope with silencer and bag for £325 and they are supposed to be belting rifles!!

Apart from the fact they are not lightweight which is something that Goose wanted.
