A lightweight starter springer

The SMK Syntarg is a compact break-barrel spring-piston air rifle built around a distinctive synthetic ‘shark fin’ skeleton stock. Available in .177 (4.5mm) and .22 (5.5mm), it is an ideal, affordable first rifle for club and back-garden target shooting, tuned under the UK 12 ft/lb limit.

Light and easy to handle

Weighing around 2kg with a 42cm (16.5in) ABS-coated barrel and roughly 102cm overall, the skeletonised stock keeps it easy for smaller or younger shooters to hold steady, and a fitted rubber recoil pad adds comfort.

Sights and safety

Fibre optic front and rear sights come as standard, with the rear adjustable for windage and elevation, and an 11mm dovetail with arrestor block takes a scope. A single-stage trigger and automatic, resettable safety round out the controls.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a good first air rifle?

Yes. It is light, compact and simple to use, which makes the Syntarg a popular, affordable choice for novice shooters at the club or in the garden.

Do I need a licence to buy it?

No. It is a sub-12 ft/lb air rifle needing no certificate in England and Wales, but you must be 18 or over to purchase.

How heavy is it?

The skeletonised 'shark fin' synthetic stock keeps the weight to around 2kg, so it is easy for smaller or younger shooters to hold steady.

Can I fit a scope?

Yes. It has an 11mm dovetail rail with an arrestor block to stop the scope creeping under recoil, alongside the standard fibre optic sights.

Which calibre should I choose?

Pick .177 for flatter target shooting or .22 for a harder-hitting pellet on small vermin at close range. Both stay within the UK limit.
