I have eight German AG's as well (all springers)... and I must say that my far less expensive Xisico's after having been fully tuned by Mike, are every bit as nice... and actually Better shooting (in terms of shot cycle), better "mannered" than ANY of my German air rifles.... the difference, of course... is you get what you pay for, in terms of materials used, fit and finish... CNC Machined steel internals, verses "stamped"(of Some parts) steel of lesser grade quality... all resulting in overall Long term, generational longevity.... of course, with as many air guns that I have "so far"(not enough room to list them all here, in my profile ), there is more time in between when I get to shoot each one... so my Xisico's "May" last as long as my German Air Rifles.... which is a Great justification and reason to by more airguns... the more you have, the more longevity you will gain from each gun, due to greater "in between" time.. for shooting each one. Works for me!
Personally, I would like to have the b26 in the xs25's bamboo stock.
750 fps for your 25 with 14.3 grains is very hot compared to my tuned Xisco 25. With 14.3 grain crosmans I get 665 fps average. I can live with that because it makes up for it in how accurate it is.
If you're happy with those Chinese guns that's all that matters. What's the resale value of a $100 Chinese copy vs. the real deal?

I'm not trying to ruffle any feathers but there is value in a good $100 rifle.Taso
