sportsbob Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 (edited) SMK are an importer and some of the rifles they import bear their brand, most of the B series are cheap garden plinkers, most of the XS range are vastly better, the Remington Express, XP and Sabre range are very good and cant be beaten for the money, the Snowpeak / Artemis PCP on the whole are very good, they also have Milbro and Beeman air rifles. The XS19 is a basic rifle with a trigger that can be easily improved by adding two readily available parts. The XS 20 Stuart mentioned comes in 3 variants, the original which is a very close clone of a HW95 right down to the Rekord trigger, the second variant which was not so close to the HW95 but still quite OK and the current version which is as a result of lawsuits from HW. I have an original XS20 and it is very smooth and accurate, in some ways it is better than the current genuine HW95.

scooby1 Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 Well i think that SMK rifles are a good Budget rifle . They do need a bit of work but they are not that bad. Also i do have a few Artemis rifle and i think they are pretty good too 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sabre is the same action as the XP but with a better stock, the shop in Weston has some of those in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, the Sabre looks better all round and with silencer although i would be looking at a cheaper Hawke scope rather than the c**p ones that come with package Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
