“30 yards is my minimum range for shooting..TRY 200...”

Written on: 22/06/2012

I HAVE SHOT MANY A PIDGEON, ROOK, CROW AND RAT WITH THIS FANTASTIC SMK 17 AIR RIFLE.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE 30 YARD ACCURACY COMES FROM. BUT WAS TOLD ABOUT THIS IN THE SHOP WHERE THE RIFLE WAS PURCHASED AS WELL.

I LIVE IN THE OPEN COUNTRYSIDE AND NOT A BACKYARD TO SHOOT. SO THE 30 YARD RANGE DOES NOT APPLY TOO ME.

YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT THE DISTANCE THIS RIFLE WILL KILL A BIRD STONE DEAD WITH JUST 1 SHOT. WE ALL KNOW BIRDS HAVE VERY GOOD EYESIGHT DON'T WE.

SO DISTANCE IS MY APPROACH RATHER THAN STEALTH.

I HAVE JUST BOUGHT A 4X20 SMK SCOPE FOR £8.25. A WASTE OF MONEY, POOR ADJUSTMENT, WELL HOW THE HELL DO YOU ADJUST IT ???.

SO IT'S BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SIGHTS FOR ME. HOWEVER THE INACCURATE SIGHTS SOMEHOW GIVE ME IMMENSE KILLING POWER UP TO 200 YARDS I GUESS. AM I BOTHERED ?? NOT AT ALL !!!.

GIVEN THE RIGHT PELLET YOU WILL CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TOO RATS, USE A TWIN RING OR HOLLOW POINT. I ALWAYS USE A POWER PELLET LUBE AFTER 20 PELLETS HAVE BEEN FIRED. OH BOY IT MAKES A CONSIDERABLE DIFFERENCE AND WORTH EVERY PENNY SPENT ON IT.

I have had the SMK 17 as my main air rifle for 8 years now & have never felt the need to upgrade it. I have fired load of supposedly top end high priced rifles & the SMK 17 is on par with the best of them.
With a decent scope this rifle is very accurate & very powerful & will easily kill a Pigeon etc. at 150 yards with one shot.
I am still amazed how cheap these rifles sell for & how underrated they are but I would recommend it to anyone interested in a serious air rifle.
Look after it & keep it well greased/oiled & it'll give you years of Grade A shooting.
