secretagentmole 1,701 Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) As some of you may know an old fishing buddy of mine moved next door to me, turned out he likes air rifles as well so I took him on a stroll to my local purveyor of fine shooting implements and with the last of his pocket money he splashed out on the mighty SMK XS19 (he wanted a cheap gun for backyard plinking and at £100 with a cheap SMK scope and mounts thrown in he was happy and is currently plinking away setting it up in his back garden. The beast has had little use beyond being put in a gun rack it appears and is happily spitting .22 Crosmans at 11 ft lb. Anyway I was after another scope for my 60S and he had a Hawke for sale, £25, with mounts. Now this scope has been on a centrefire rifle and the guy who owned it was forces who put the scope on the picatinny mounts and sprayed the whole lot green, green camo paint! I kiddeth you not!! Lovely isn't it? We had some Prosolv Graffiti Remover lurking about so I gave the scope a quick spray, and look what was lurking underneath! Now that's better!

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted March 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 It was a very pale green camo paint, looks much better off the scope than on! Quote Link to post
