My older brother sometimes comes over and shoots my pellet rifles and especially likes the Ruger Air Hawk. His offhand shooting is much more accurate than mine. I was considering getting a full tune XS25 for my brother's birthday to thank him for being a great big brother for over half a century. I checked Flying Dragon's website a few times recently and the Xisico Model XS25 is only listed for .22. Anyone happen to know why it is no longer listed for .177? I have called Mike before, but know he was recently in the hospital and did not want to bother him just now with idle chat. Also gives me a chance to add a post and some other GTA member probably has the answer. Thanks

I decided to contact Mike and he told me Xisico stopped making the 25 in .177. I am surprised after they sold so many.

Get a Ruger Air Hawk, same gun, and see if Mike will tune it for you and/or tune yours.

I just check FD and it looks like they have the XS25 SFB in .177. Same gun as XS25 with out open sight, a steel barrel weight/muzzle break and a laminated bamboo thumb hole stock. I don't have the SFB but I have a Black Hawk Elite in the bamboo stock with a steel barrel weight. Got the stock way back for a Air Hawk. I like the stock.

I have the XS25 SFB in .177. It is a heavy rifle as is the 25 and Air Hawk. I have the full tune and Mike does the trigger which makes it a very nice rifle to shoot. I also have an Air Hawk and had Mike do the trigger on it. Turned it from a clunker to a pleasure to shoot. The SFB not broken in as yet but looks very promising. The Bamboo stock due to the design takes a bit to get used too. But when you get the feel of it, it is fine. The operation is smooth and positive. I like it...
