General Comments

Bought my SMK S2 .177 pistol around 10 months ago and only really started to use it now. It is on of the few pistols I feel confident close range hunting with. Because of it great power for a small gen (400fps) I can get around 3ft/lbs which is enough for vermin control of rats, mice and rabbits at around 18m max. I use wd 40 spray and take it out hunting with me for constant oilling for constant power which is important while hunting. The pellets I favour with this gun are marksman .177 pointed pellets as they provide a power penetration to the rabbit or target.

Just a few days ago I went out hunting in these rabbit infested fields and crept up close to a group of rabbits, about 10 metres or so away and shot one in the back of the head providing an instant, clean kill and supper for myself. Great for just putting in a bag for a quick hunt where to take an air rifle, may be a little risky or for a round of target practise in the garden.

Pellets to avoid in this gun - webley needlepoints as some dont fit in the barrel though the ones that do provide good penetration.

BEST pellets for this gun - Marksman Pointed

Best useage - CLOSE RANGE HUNTING its great!!
