    Hi, ive been shooting my uncles 19 for a few months now and havent really got on with it very well, struggling with accuracy. I thought this was just me until i used my friends old BSA Meteor on the weekend which was a dream to shoot in comparison.

    In the SMK's defence however, it has been completely reliable and seems to be built pretty well for the cash, and still puts a smile on my face even if i cant hit a barn door with it!

    Superb guns made with quality parts, well engineered, well finished, corking triggers, exceptionally accurate. What more could anyone ask for?

    Yes, it certainly does.

    The XS19 looks like it is a copy of the Gamo.I had an SR2 for a few years when they first came out and mine was pretty good once i got used to it's quirks. The quality was not the best but a vast improvement to the B2. Putting my HW80 next to the SR2 you could see that the quality was not in the same league but at £139.95 you can't expect it, The SR took a battering in the rain and mud of winter and it was totally unloved. I would never bother with another but give them their due if you are lucky to get a goodun then they can be a good buy for the money.

    I have an XS20 and I can't honestly tell much difference between this and my HW98, it is probably a little more harsh in terms of recoil but the trigger is every bit as good.
    I doubt though it will last as long as the HW however

    We have a Tuned QB78DL, a Tuned XS78, Both kicking out about 11ft/lb.
    We also have a Logun S16.
    They are all good fun and all have their Qwerks.
    S16 if you like chucking loads of pellets down range, Because this will and extremely accuratly.
    The 78's are precise single shot rifles, With shed loads of fun to boot.

    Next want will be the BAM 40 (TX200 clone).

    Not many gun makers arnt using the chinese factorys these days.
    Its the refinishing you pay more for, and in the case of the XX78's it costs about 3 pounds for the seals and loads of elbow grease, then its full power heaven.
    Logun S-16, QB78DL .22 Tuned,
    XS78 .22 Tuned, CP88.

    I noticed the new x19 price in a local gunshop has gone up by £30 could this be because of the lack of mail order facillity....

    Why
    Mine is superb, nice weight, nice recoil, very accurate, bunnies out to 35 yards, one shot kill each time

    It may be chinese but who cares.

    I wouldn't trade mine for the world gives me free meat for the table as and when required
