Cabela's has these on for a hundred bucks off their regular price, so I grabbed one. Smith and Wesson 586-6" in .177 cal. pellet. The pellet cylinder holds 10 pellets.

It's packed in plastic hard case with a cleaning brush, 2 cylinders, and 2 spare front (plastic) sights. The C/O-2 piercing system is positive, and as about close to fool proof as you're gonna get.

Had it out in the 42 F rain today for a quickie function test and brief shoot.

10 8.2 gr RWS Meister wadcutters at 12 yds, fired in single action as fast as I could.
Low temperature effects on p.o.i. are quite obvious, showing the C/O-2 power drop-off.
I actually like this one quite a bit, since I can do some rudimentary hitting with it over the open irons, despite my geezer eye-sight.

We're fore-cast long range for next week-end to be low 70's. I'd like to get a proper shooting test done then. It's loud, and a hog on gas- 40 shots for a 12 gram bulb.
Good accuracy potential is there~ I think this one too has a Lothar Walther bbl on it.

Regards,

Doc Sharptail

That would be a good one for draw from concealed drills. Also drilling pigeons! SW

I was thinking similar except for the drill part.
Would like to carry under my coat to keep the co/2 bulb warm. Could be an excellent close range grouse gun. The poly-mag predator nylon tip pellets seem to be a good cylinder fit....
It's kind of big for concealed carry- iit's dimensions same as the k-66 l grew up with- except the bbl is 2 inches longer.

Wonder if Uncle Mike's still makes a shoulder rig for the N/K series.

Regards,

Doc Sharptail
