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!

I have an xs20 super grade and found very accurate upto 35yds and firing at11.7 lbs/ft theres nothing wrong with the chinese cheapies

[mikewareing]

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

That far????!!!!!!!!

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.

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....

urgh DO NOT BUY THIS RIFLE, you will regret it!!!! as i infact regret it!

[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.

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

Ho Hum.

[kevmar]

Good point Tony,
most things originate in the far east these days.

Hello gunnies
My son has an SMK 19 and its zeroed to 30yds....shoots sweet too. He takes it out at least once a week. Its solid, reliable and accurate enough if you have the skill. he has a scope not sure which one and a silencer. Definitely value for money.

I have a tuned 78 DL, in an AGS stock now, I am looking for another 78D to make a gun for the wife to go pigeon shooting with. With a tiny bit o end user input, you can get some very nice rifles from these Chinese things.

If I hear another person bleat on about Chinese quality using their damned Iphone I will go mad!
