Why bother deleting your last little spat. You're probably right in what you said. It's just that Chinese guns really do my chump in. They bring the worst out in me. I just find it confusing and disheartening when someone comparatively new to the game extols the virtues of what are possibly the worst guns in the world, due to the fact they have never experienced anything better, and then refuse to listen to people who have had greater experience of trying to polish one of these turds. Anyway, advice is for those who take it.

I'm well aware of, and have shot plenty of, superior guns out there because of my membership of my local range. And i completely agree that the quality of my gun does not stack up against them. It does seem a shame that Chinese guns get you all riled up though because at my current level in this game they are good enough for me and i can honestly say that some of the AA, Theoben, Daystate owners seem fairly impressed when i hit the same long range targets that they do. Maybe they're just being kind, eh?
By the way, i'm all for taking advice given in the right manor.

No hard feelings, eh? After all, the last thing the BBS needs is another argument!

ah dont you just love the bbs
well my xs19 shoots pucker straight from the box over 50 yards and sometimes better than more expensive air rifles, aint broken yet or been sent back to shop unlike my mates £800 daystate.
so im happy with my chinky rifle and i dont feel the need to slate any other makes.
if you got a springer that cost 3 times what mine did come say hello at broomhills in beds and we can have some friendly comp.

Like Litehammer said, arguements and shall we say "differing opinions" are all part of the fun on here as you will find out if you stay tuned in. Just as long as it doesn't get abusive.

I'll have a little bet with you. If you keep up the shooting hobby, I'll bet your not still shooting a Chinese gun 12 months down the line. Some may argue they are a good starter gun. I think they may put many people off for life, especially if they drop on a particularly bad one. Just my opinion like.

[focusteve]

The people who would be put off for life would be the same people who can't rise to a challenge.
As for still shooting my chinese in a year, i think if this economic downturn gathers much more momentum, we'll both be shooting them in a years time!

[kevmar]

Of course they get better 'smoother' the more they wear in,
I wonder how good they could get with a proper tune up?

[focusteve]

Good enough for me to win a competition with!

So some of them're lemons and some of them're grand.

I've got a SMK 17. After stripping it down and re-lubing with the appropriate lubricants, not 10W40, it's fairly well behaved. I'm currently rebuilding the trigger for a more crisp letoff.
