UPS delivered a long brown box today. Upon opening the outer and inner boxes I was greeted by one handsome air rifle; a fully tuned Xisico XS28M in .25 cal - from Mike Melick at Flying Dragon Air Rifles. Heading out back to my little 15 yrd range, there was just enough sunlight for a couple of volleys to start the break-in process. In the end the rifle has shown a preference for Hatsan Vortex Supreme at 19.91 gr with a second being the H&N Field Target Trophy at 19.91 gr (interesting). Shooting from a standing rest with open sites, this rifle managed to stay within a 1/2 inch group using both pellets. It turned out having the sunlight fading was a good thing for cocking this rifle the 30 plus times for three groups had my arms slightly worn. What a beast - in a good way!

Get some Air Arms Diabolo Field, Predator GTO'S, PolyMags, and H&N FTT Green pellets. My Octane that I converted to .25 with one of Mike's barrels really likes those pellets. The GTO'S and FTT Greens are the most accurate but a little spendy for plinking. That is where the Air Arms come into play.

Never owned a .25, bet they really ‘flap-up some dust’
Got a MM tuned XS25 in .22. He turns out some good shooters. He used to list velocities on the boxes of his tuned guns...

I also have one of Mikes fully tuned B28's in .25. It's a great and accurate rifle. It also likes the FTT,s Mine are listed as 20.06 grain. This rifle compares very well with my Diana 350 in 22 but has a loopier trajectory. It is a short range hammer though....
