Hi friends, iam suresh from Hyderabad, iam new to IFG, yesterday i bought SDB model 65, for 4500/- from target point, nampally, hyd... previously i used a heman mark-2 air pistol which is a very basic one... after using it for some time, i decided to bought a AR... i searched 5-6 shops... here in hyderabad, ARs are priced very highly... these people quoting IHP35 for 10.5k ... so, decided to start my shooting with a budget friendly AR....
so , went to target point, these guys are friendly, and patient... they showed nearly 10 models in my budget range... but among them this beast attracted me in the first look... it looks beautiful... so finally bought this.... it is heavy... clean... powerful, and gorgeous... here are my first impressions...
though this is budget air rifle, the quality seems to be good... (quality of stock, wood, finishing, power) this AR is heavy, around 4.5kg.. wood is of a good quality, and the finishing is very good.. i cant understand one thing about this SDB , trigger... is is made of some metal like ALUMINUM or ALLOY.. it is not brass, or iron... i don't know why it is like that... every air rifle in that shop have brass or iron trigger... except only this SDB... though is feels good, and trigger pull is very smooth.. and not heavy... these is no option to adjust the trigger through a screw..
i identified one major problem immediately when i shot 2-3 pellets... that its front sight is slightly bent to left... of course none of the sights are good(front,rear,and peep)... all 3 of these are have some minor errors... this is the only problem i found of this AR as of now... these are not worst, but not good..
recoil is awesome.. i feel the power in my hands... it is very powerful... like a 10 times powerful than my heman pistol... my friends have ihp, Tommy, marshal, GD sports under liver, i shot all of them.. this AR is definitely not very far from those.. i didn't got a chance to see its full potential yet... i aimed at a 2*2 feet metal plate from 80- 85 mtrs distance.. and i shot it very first time only.. iam not saying that this is a great accuracy, but it is capable of that range, i have to try its actual effective rage....
Total length of this SDB is 46 inches, length of barrel is 19 inches, weight is 4.5 kg.. rifling is 1:16, rifling grooves are deep enough to stabilize pellet, bluing is nice, wooden stock feels great, totally the rifle feels very solid in hands, except those sights.... that's it friends, will post some more pics and soon will come up with every detail when i put it to some tests.. thanks..
