Smk b2 air rifles

I just checked the spec on the £80 SYNXS model. Its 800 ft/sec on .177 and 600ft / sec on .22

.22 hits nearly twice as hard as .177 The trade off is that the trajectory of the always faster .177 is flatter and more forgiving of inaccurate distance assessment by the shooter. .177 is also less affected by crosswinds.

But.... if you spend a lot of time practicing, getting to understand the trajectory of your pellets, and learning how to make appropriate adjustments to the gun sights for distance and windage, both are equally accurate.

The faster velocities of the SYNXS model let you choose either calibre. The .22 will be surly knock down more bunnies, but will take you a little longer to master its trajectory. The .177 will be faster to achieve accuracy, but in the long term will have less hitting power.

Back on track: Buy the B2 in .177 calibre now. Play with it and see if it does what you want. If its a perfect match just buy another of the same, job done! If the B2s effective killing range is too short for you, make your second gun an 800ft /sec .177 If the B2's good in range but lacks knock down power, get a 600ft/sec .22 calibre
