m.hubbard 1 Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 ok iv not bin on the forum for a while as i got out of shooting due to losing my permission to the council winning the battle to build a cemetry on the land .and me selling my rifles off as they just sat there . anyways im thinking of getting back into the sport of as iv moved into a new house with a very long garden and would love some thing to plink and do a bit of vermin control once iv got a new peace of land to shoot on . ok on to the real point i was looking at all the rifles on the market and noticed that smk seem to be a lot better i was just wondering whats peoples views on them are they just cheap nasty imports or are they worth cheacking out . had the xs19 or xs36 as this seems to copy the tx200 all tho its not going to be anyware near as good as that by a long way . or should i buy a bsa lightning as i all ways seem to go down this route as my first rifle was a lightning and iv had a spitfire witch is a pcp version of the lightning and iv had too others . and iv seen acouple on here for sale . any help would be great .many thanks mike Quote Link to post
19powell90 89 Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Save yourself money in the long run and buy either a: Weihrauch hw 95/80/77/97 Air arms tx200/prosport Best springers on the market, dont settle for what will do, buy the best get the best simples Scott Quote Link to post
zini 1,939 Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Id buy a HW95K as it will suit your bank account balance and needs down to the T buddy. Its by far the best light weight spring piston rifle on the market anywhere in the world at this moment in time. Other rifles around the same weight come close but none are better. Si.

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Some good dealers in Lincolnshire, you have City Air Weapons in the city itself, the bloke out Brothertoft way, Partridges near Holbeach, Elderkins in Spalding, one to look at (depending on where you are) is Michael Tawn at Tydd Gote, He is an HW dealer and his prices are some of the keenest we have found!

m.hubbard 1 Posted December 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 cheers for that i thought as much on the smk range . iv had a webley venon viper too and that was a great bit of kit only two shot but was a crack shot with it . i only live 5 mins walk away from city air weapons its a shame guns and stuff on the high street has closed down .

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 The HW95 is probably the finest break barrel you can buy, Shoulder a few in City Airweapons, see what you like best then come and ask, warning the place is like Aunty Wainrights Quote Link to post
BradGreen 0 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I have a Weihrauch HW95 .22 and it is very light, got it from City Air Weapons and is pretty good. Quote Link to post
