I bought one of the .25 cal XL's when they first appeared on sale at Amazon and today is the first chance I've had to get out into the backyard range and see how it shoots. I'm using the scope that it came with, which I had mounted shortly after receiving the rifle. I grabbed a tin of JSB Kings and headed out to the range. It only took a few shots to get it on paper, then I moved back to 30 yards and began dialing it in. Rifle absolutely loves the Kings. Once I got used to the trigger it was stacking them into a beautiful ragged hole group. It was a little to cold outside for me so I cut the session short and headed back into the basement workshop. I'll try my other .25 cal pellets when the weather warms up a bit but I'm really glad I bought this rifle. I've had the .22 cal version for a long time and love that rifle as well which is why I decided to take the plunge on the .25. Looking forward to getting to hunt with it in the fall Should make one heck of a small game springer Jeff
