sdb 45 or 65

[dr18]

Dear guys

Can sr people tell me which sdb is best 45 or 65.
Which sdb rifle has scope facility to be mounted on it?

The internals of SDB 45 and 65 more of less remain same.
The look ,sights, colour and stock may have some cosmetic changes.
All Indian guns including SDB ,except PH ,require serious tuning.
Not all SDB 45 come with 11 mm scope rail.
If you are too keen for that ,ask your dealer bring that for you.
SDB is an excellent AR in given price.

The SDB 65 is a good and accurate rifle. Mine was ordered online from kovibazaar.com and I think they had tuned it in some way - at least they had checked it for defects and accuracy - so it was a pleasure out of box. My earlier SDB 50 was bought decades ago when I knew less. I tuned it and loved it after that. It was a real pleasure to shoot although muzzle velocity rarely exceeded 150 m/sec. It was pleasingly smooth and accurate. Nothing like the pleasure of shooting 5 shots and hitting the target every time.

The first thing that needs tuning is the shooter who is new to shooting. If you are a new shooter you will not make out the difference between a well tuned rifle and an untuned one. So one needs to shoot 2 to 3000 pellets before one can claim to have some experience to judge an air rifle. The air rifle itself may take 1000 shots to 'settle down" and I believe all tuning should be dome after that.
