I have a very nice XS-B20 ready for sale at £100, waiting for Kempton Park, these are a copy of the HW 95. Mine is very smooth shooter at 11.2 ft.lb.

For the SMK 208, also look at the Ruger Air Hawk series (same gun)

Chinese stuff can shoot very well, I had an AGS SR2 think it was called and a SMK B20 both the same gun and very good to use.
My prized one though is the TX200 clone called BAM B40 in .22 which i have had for a very long time now.
Shoots as well as the TX200HC mk2 I have. It's smooth enough to shoot well but obviously the finish isn't as good as on the TX One of those guns that one enjoys shooting and never will part with!!

Yep, and I think the one I was trying to remember earlier was a Hammerli Black Force (or something along those lines).

Whatever Nick ends up using as a base, I think it's fair to assume that the result will be something quite special.
