    Fantastic guns...
    Around 40 shots in the sweet spot in .22
    Fit an Altaros regulator and it's 85.
    Servicing is very easy apart from the end caps on cylinder can be a bugger to get off the first time round as they're threadlocked on - but once off they can go back by hand.
    CZ barrels are very accurate.
    Love mine and the gun I've owed the longest and no intention of selling.

    Great guns, I've had quite a few , Very accurate, Unfortunately I do struggle shooting one, The weight is an issue, I struggle shooting a light gun. Even though I don't like heavy guns, I shoot better with them, Try one first.

    I had one many moons ago in .177, highly accurate, light enough to carry around a field all day, can't remember the shot count but I think it's around the 35/40 mark.
    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    Excellent rifles, I've owned many over the years. I'm going to buy another hopefully soon. Yes around 40 good shots in .22 maybe 30 ISH in .177.

    ive got a .22 with huma regulator .
    get around 35-40 shots before it drops off but i have also a small 500cc bottle with valve that i can get 2 refills from when im out and about .

    very light rifle , in fact dont think ive held a lighter pcp rifle .

    very accurate at 30-40yds .

    best to only use the aluminium magazines , i had a plastic one split .

    great rifle if you do a lot of walking around the woods or farm .

    These are fab guns, very accurate and light.

    There were three marks made, the first two had two piece stocks and the third had one piece. The mk2 had a barrel support or should I call it a stock support. A target version was also available with adjustable stock + a 6lb version.

    Servicing is pretty easy, anti tamper only came in on the mk3. A worthwhile mod is to fit a regulator. Lanes do two regulators, one internal the other external. They also do a quick fill and pressure guage, very handy to keep an eye on. Huma also do the same.

    As previously stated removing the end caps of the cylinder can be a pain as they are very tight but only necessary if you fit a reg or quick fill. Lanes do a cylinder release nut to facilitate in removal. Wrap the cylinder up well and clamp in a vice an fit lanes nut over the cylinder and remove with 12"+ adjustable wrench. A quick shock tap usually breaks the seal. I have never come across thread seal though.

    As mentioned great guns and easy enough to service etc.

    Had a few over the years the last one was a mk2 in .22

    I got Simon (Tench) to make me an external regulator and it was setup for 11.5FPE did around 90 shots from memory.

    Getting harder to find now and they always had a very good reputation.

    As has been mentioned they are very light & that doesn't suit me either, got one for bell target shooting but find it way to light, was going to sell it, but a friends sons came round & they love shooting it, so looks like its staying!

    Spot on, I have one (.177) with an Altaros extended cylinder and Altaros reg, and is superb, I just love it. When starting out with airguns, I always expected to be trading in and out, but the S200 is definitely staying put.

    PS Buy a SWB aftermarket magazine, they are excellent, less bulky and less faff than the originals.

    Had a mk1 .22 I think it was about 80 shots per fill with a wide power curve so I just kept it in the sweet spot & about 20/30 shot. Very accurate. My 1st pcp. I now prefer my S400 carbine though.
