SMK CP2 Full Review - The Airgun Hub 

One commenter warned against tightening the CO2 cap using the leverage bolt, saying it makes it too easy to overtighten the cap, that the leverage bolt is actually for loosening.

I got Camo version in .177 and have never had any problems loading pellets and cocking very smooth. Maybe just a lucky one. Silencer does make a huge difference and very accurate. I've put a bipod on it and BSA 4-12x44 scope on it. A great piece of kit. Fits perfectly in rat catcher bag but silencer has to be removed but fits nice into the pocket in bag.

Really great video mate for a fantastic little piece of hardware.

Great review,clear concise and straight to the point. Already have a couple of Air rifles but I'm thinking of getting a CP2 just for plinking in the back garden at 10 meters.

Thanks for the review! I love mine a lot so I got 2 rifles kits. Fantastic gun for the money. (Mine is called the Diana Chaser, here in the USA.)

Bought a Camo one today , from Solware Tamworth , cracking helpful staff great shop, over the moon with the little beast cheers shane uk 🇬🇧

Nice review Matt... think I might have one of these for Chrimbo

Just got mine it’s silent with silencer, love it for plinking

Wowwwwww! Lmao thanks Juan. Thats the first time ive ever been called out In a video. Im looking forward to seeing what you do with it. As you can tell its a Nice familar platform. Other than the obvious you did a great job covering the simplistic Beauty of the gun. You can see why i went on & on about it. Its the answer to alot of guys frustration with the single shot crappy trigger 2240 platform. Dont get me wrong I like to mod thats actually half the joy for me. But Out of the box sweet as hell is always preferable. I have $300 each into my 2240 2250 crossmanitis guns. For cp1 $80.00 us currency & i was blown away! Mine is in .22 and a thumper. Im hopeing a united states guy like vernon austin decides to start makeing them. I swear hes the best since RB (RIP) I also like the fact that the mags are interchangable with the air max varmint. (PCP BUT Well get there) mrod air is great. Mikes really cool to deal with. For the newbies just remember " Golden rule " ,with mrod air is dont modify it or rip the box ,put everything back perfect! Just in case. You never know. One doesnt wish to void the warrenty before the expiration date This cp1 is going to get catchy in the USA. i see a niche for the right guys. Unless crossman gives us the multi shot breech for 22xx of which they already have the magazines available , this could put a small dent in sales. Its time to stop being stubborn in R&D and lets do this. Can ya tell im loyal to the red white and blue? but like so many of us enouph is enough. Small Mods for improvements and pimping sure! But no more totally rebuilding a gun, not when the cp1 & cp2 are available. Thanks again. MC...

Great review thanks for uploading , subscribed .

Good point about the magazine

Hi my opinion it's a great gun feels good in hand and shoots great BUT and for me it's a big BUT I found on two occasions the multi shot mags can easy cause a barrel jam I don't know why maybe a misalignment issue I don't know but if you shoot this gun with single shot then it's flawless and great fun great review thanks

I have the 22 in camo it's a lovely little set up with a pao red dot fitted !

Like the Camo version , gonna get one , cheers for the vid Shane uk 🇬🇧

If you inspect the magazine you'll see the carousel - that's the part that rotates within the magazine - doesn't rotate far enough. It's a simple operation to disassemble the magazine and carefully file the edge of the carousel that stops against the lug on the case. Look thru the pellet exhaust hole - the same hole the first pellet is inserted into - to check the alignment as you go. I've fixed 4 so far, taking about an hour each.

Good review. Looks a sound gun.

Love this gun!

I got the 177 camo version.what a brilliant package.i use BSA round head 4.5 grain no problems at all with magazine.works perfectly 😁 combined with a 6x24x50 scope and bipod this is amazing.silencer really does work.well done smk ...

Great review 👍

Note ! the entire plastic moulding is MUCH STRONGER than it appears to the eye. With a magnet I discovered it's got a STEEL frame in the moulding. Use a drop of Pelgunoil on Co2 capsule tip before use, avoids chances of sticking when emptied. Myself, I will OIL any barrel seal-ring before fitting the barrel.

Can wait to get one. On my wish list... Cordy 1.77

I own a camo effect version of this gun and agree; its a cracking little combo. In reference to the magazine issue; I discovered (the hard way) that some pellets will NOT work in the magazine, my original pellets work fine in the single shot tray, but they were too soft for the magazine and they jammed the magazine EVERY time! I bought a different type of pellet and they work perfectly fine with the magazines, so you may wish to use trial packs to figure out what pellets work best for you and stick with those :) In reference to the interchangeable barrel, I noticed the seals look VERY delicate and if you wish to switch them out frequently, you will probably need to invest in plenty of spare seals since they are likely to break easily!

Hi Nice vid btw. There is a vid on yt where the pellet was stiff from the mag so he drilled out the first part of the barrel and now it loads perfectly. You might want to look at it I am going to purchase the pp800 as the stock fits the cp2 so you can have a rifle that is pcp. I'll upload my work when don't. Keep up the good work.

a great little pistol and rifle and i like them a great video well put put about info and how to set it up i used to shoot pigeons with a bsa scorpion so i think this will do the same

DUDE.... you HAVE TO tell people the weight you're shooting... i mean you might as well not even chrony the thing if you negate the pellet weight......

Thank you for the excellent detailed review. ATB MMMD

Good review, looks like a nice gun. The mag obscuring the front sight doesn't look good, is it a problem? Also wondering if the co2 window also acts as a vent when changing capsules? Cheers

I find JSB exact heavy and Daystate ft pellets all cycle smooth as silk in the mags and very accurate

got the same combo as you. .22 cp2 using RWS superdomes. getting nice close grouping like yours too.

Good review that mate any idea whats up next?

There is an O-Ring missing from the end of the Rifle Barrel, I'm sure most noticed that too. I'd suggest removing the Grub Screws completely when swapping Barrels, for two reasons; 1. No chance of catching an O-Ring with the end of one of them, or scratching the Barrel if they're not undone enough. 2. You can visually line-up the detent for the middle one. Always do up the middle one first, as that goes into a detent, centering the Barrel, and pulling it fully rearwards. The middle one is slightly longer than the other two, don't mix them up. They're just bog-standard 4mm Grub Screws, readily available online, or from any decent fastener supplier.

This thing comes under a lot of names, mine is called artamis cp2 paid about 100 euros for it, its my cheapest pistol i own expected nothing from it but its surprisingly good for the price i do like it never had a problem with it ..nice vid.

Hi Mat , I'm a new subscriber. I have the CP2 in .177 camo.. I use JSB pellet in my rifle and never had a jammed pellet, mags do appear a bit loose or sloppy but the work perfect for me . I've dispatched several squirrels out to 25m . It's a lot of kit for the money ,I'd recommend it . Regards Alan ( peer controller )

Cool airgun! I am in Canada and have purchased a Diana 'Chaser" .22 caliber Co2 pistol carbine kit in which looks to be a rebranded version of this Victory CP2 AirGun. I think it would look alot better with an M4 style adjustable stock.

I would be interested in the legal situation with this in the UK. If you put the longer barrel on without the cheek piece , could it still be considered a pistol thus going over the 6 foot pound legal limit in the UK ? Or am I missing something?

I've just bought one of these in .177 so yes I'm very late to the party as it's been out for years. SMK do seem to have listened regarding the allen key for converting the barrel as they now supply 2 allen keys in the bag with the spare seals, one allen key for the 3 top grub screws and one for the barrel band on the bottom so they have thought of everything by the time I bought mine.

You have to use domed pellets with the magazine.. good 👍🏻 review mate

I got 2 along keys in the box, one for the barrel and one for the rifle barrel rear sight !

In the US it’s called Diana Chaser n it come with the Allen key 2 diff sizes but they don’t have the magazine it cost $20 each!!

What distance were you shooting from at the target please didn’t hear you mention cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧

Are you missing a seal on the longer barrel?

Ihad the same trouble with the magazine and sometimes with the single tray. I overcame this by grinding a slight bevel on the barrel end, no problem now, all my pellets seat easily. Another improvement over the cp1 is the trigger, it's now two stage, much nicer.

Note 2 ! There are 11mm width micro grooves in the Rear Sight fixing area , so I am going to attach a sturdy Red Dot on mine, my old eyes need optical assistance these days Ha ha ! I guess the rear sight assembly is easy to remove to clear the area ready for the Red Dot fixing on.

Any chance you could do a silencer rebuild ?

Not my type of style, I prefer the traditional looking rifles, I have an SMK XS78Co2 and a Remington Tyrant. Great review and very detailed too, subbed.

How light is the trigger on this ,I have limited hand function and I,m looking for something like this for pest control.

Is this the same as a Diana Chaser?

I have had one for a few months now , great in all modes , one problem the rails on mine are off Center tried all sorts of sights and attachments nothing Center’s they are off by a few degrees and it’s really annoying , also not the only one to have this problem . ... seems it’s a design fault ...... as for the cartridge I find that the bsa .22 are fine no problem, few probs with the Remingtons ...

What pellets are used in the CO2 pistol to get them choreograph marks

Your longer barrel missing an o ring!

Alguien sabe a cuantos metros disparó/Anyone know how many meters he fired? Gracias!/thank you

Can you use gamo lethal and other type of pellets in this?

Ive bought this combo and the mags let it down big time as it makes the accuracy suffer greatly. You also need to be careful changing the barrel too often as it destroys the o rings on the end of the barrel. Shame really as the price is awsome for what you get.

Great video but didn’t hear you say what ft lbs, it did, although we saw the chrony figures not sure what your pellet weight was, else I could work it out , cheers Shane , mine is quite low on power 4.8 to 5.2 in rifle mode cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧

I need to buy it sir

Is this the same breech as the cr600w

Does anyone know why this gun comes with so many names? SMK, Victory, Snowpeak, Artemis, SPA, Diana Chaser...

I have the experience that the type of pallets determine if you have troubles using the magazine. I use hollow points from crosman and the slide in like in... Butter:)

According to Other Reviews - the 2 mm Allen Key & the other one IS supplied in with the kit, maybe you were just unlucky or it's slipped down in the packaging somewhere?? I've Allen keys galore from my time in Engineering lol.

Why did you stop making reviews I feel this could have been a very Superior channel

What thread is end

It looks just like my Diana chaser.

I've just bought one of these and was wondering if you could recommend the best pellet to use with it please? The available range is a bit bewildering to say the least! Thankyou.

Ps ,,,, I got 2 Alan keys in my box today in a bag with the spare seals

How quiet is this when used with the moderator. Is it as quiet as firing a Airsoft spring pistol?

Schick ;-)

How much cost

I got 1 and i use it in rifle

“OK for small children,” that’s reassuring, is that for them shooting with it or shooting them?

어떻게이총을살수있을까요?알라스카월맛엔없어요앵크레지울맛에 보내주세요.

Very nice! Q. The longer barrel increases the power but does the moderator also increase power, even just slightly?

How to buy

Quite an informative review but... You had an o ring missing off your rifle barrel. If that was missing when you used the chrony it may well have hindered the results. Not only that but you didn't state the pellet weight so the results are not much use to us. You really should do the middle grub screw up first as that makes sure the barrel is in the correct position. If people in the UK do as you did and change the barrel before putting the stock on you've actually just broken the law and committed an offence. Even though the instructions tell you to do that. Don't forget, there's a space to store a spare C02 capsule in the handle. Mine came with the 2 required allen keys in the box. I use RWS Superdomes and have never had a problem with the magazine. I think the guns in general can be a bit hit or miss regarding cycling issues from what I've seen. I would definitely recommend this gun though, you can't go wrong for the price.

Yeah !! I quite like it . I like the CP1anawl , so , which one would I have? And I think the CP1 has it , reason being is I have quite a few rifles , all top quality , and just fancy a pistol for close range plinking/target ( 10mtrs or there abouts ) not for pest control as I dont think this item would cut the mustard for that usage , even in the " rifle " format .. nice piece of kit though , and well worth the money , would make an excellent xmas prezzie for a lad/lass wanting too get into air gunning .. I wouldnt mind if someone bought it me for a prezzie .. so may show the mrs the review ...

How quiet is this mate? Thanks for the video.

seems like its something i want to put in my camping bag but the c02 lest it down if i can add a pump that would be cool am quit new to air guns so hummm

Are you still alive pal? For such a well spoken, knowledgeable lad seems strage you have left for 5 years plus. Ive only just found your channel. 09.2023. Hope your alive & well sir. Mike

i want something that i can shoot inside of house this looks great but is moderator really that good ?

What pellets were u using.?

Was it ok to use in rifle mode with the bolt been on the left side, given rifles usually have the bolt on the right side?

Nice video !!! I have subscribe your channel ;-) Thumbs up and greetings from germany

Didn't install barrel properly, tighten middle grub screw first, that aligns the transfer port. Also I had the pellets loading problem, don't like pointed pellets plus there was no o ring at the end of the barrel 😭 just thinks to look out for

Left hand version ? The Bolt on Left !

Is this a first cousin to the " Diana Chaser '?

Window of life

Are these still in production?

I just pre-purchased the .22 Diana "Chaser" Co2 Rifle Kit from Pyramid Air,,,,,The gun looks Identical!, What I would like to know,,,,how does the .22 version w/ the long barrel attached perform in the "field"?,,,Would it be able to take down a Rabbit w/in 25-30 yd's w/ proper Ammunition,,,,a nice Fast round like a 13.4gr Air Arms "Falcon"/JSB Exact RS, or Alloy rounds like the Gamo Raptor, H&N FTT /Baracuda Green's??,,,,,and How does it Compare to Crosmans 2240 performance wise?,,,,,I know it's too early to see what, if any after-market part's will be avilable for "Modding",,,I sure Hope there will be, because this Shooter looks like it has the Capabilities of leaving the Ol' 2240 in the Dust!

What caliber?

My cp2 is a 177. I have found out that the silencer that comes with the gun is not that good at all. It has very bad air flow so most of my shoots are all over the place. For 30 shoots it's rubbish. They for the last 30 it's get a bit better but not much. Plus you can't change the silencer because it does not have a 1/2 thread. So hums down for the cp2..... Cordy 1.77....

When he said it was ideal for small children . hahaaaaaaaaaa

So there is no SMK dealer in U.S.A. ---

Most moderators will drop your power by about 10/15 % due to back pressure on pellet.

Well, this gun is brilliant, I've just put mine in rifle mode, added a telescopic sight, red dot sight, a bipod and butt bag, I will now be buying another so I can have a permanent pistol too. Just wish I could show mine in rifle mode as it looks awesome but here is a vid that shows it that looks nearly identical to mine. Awesome stuff. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--f46hq9oCPM.html

were can I get one and how much. will they ship to the us

1:20 you're wrong there

look really like Diana chaser..!!!

How many good powered shots with a single capsule?

I have it 😂

Already a guy complained, why would anybody want to interchange a weapon don’t be so cheap . That doesn’t even seem fun
