My FD XS60 arrives.....

[Phideaux]

  I've probably read the first 50 pages of this PCP forum and decided on a XS60 PCP from Mike at Flying Dragon. He had it in my hands in three days. that's fantastic shipping. I got the pump assembled, read the instructions, and got it filled to 1500psi if the pump gauge is accurate. I'm liking the foot pump so far. it makes my wife giggle when my face turns red from pumping the rifle up. the first two shots were a very faint "poop" and I thought "uh-oh", this can't be good. the third shot sounded like my .22 Magnum, and I thought, "yessssss, this is much better". I got about eight more BOOOM!!!!!! shots and then remembered I have neighbors very close by.

 No police rolled by, but I was "harrassed" by a cop buddy who was in the dispatch office when a call came through about loud noises in my area. I assured him they wouldn't get any more noise complaints, except maybe from my '88 Softtail exhaust. I seriously need a GOOD LDC for this rifle. no accuracy tests yet, as the only .22 pellets in this whole county were Benjamin Discoverys. I'll have to order a sampler, unless you guys have some good choices this rifle might like. I got Mike to do a power tune on it, as I want to remove a few pests from having shopping sprees in the wife's garden.

 Pecan trees are all over the neighborhood, so I'll be able to put a few squirrels in the freezer, and save a few for my little terrier Molly to chase. the crows have to go though. I'll be scoping it with a in medium or high Millett Angle-Loc rings. I have thought about just milling the dovetail rail off and mounting a Picatinny rail on top. I'll add an update when Chrony shows up,LDC is installed, and a better backstop is in place. thanks to Mike at FD for a great deal on my new rifle.



ohhh.....and a P.S. for Mike at Flying Dragon. my wife says if you're ever down in Texas to swing by for a sandwich and iced tea while you help me replace the privacy fence slats I shot through with my new "toy gun".

I was still on the fence about FD XS60 and was going to order one @ $100 when he ran out of gen1 and the price went up for a gen2 model. I got the 22 Disco with pump for around $380 shipped to my door as my first PCP on July1st.  Enjoy

Don't know who you chose, but a look-see on the TKO Airgun site turns up a couple of XS60 choices that would probably work for you. Not the only provider of these things, but one of the more popular ones.  Still, better to not shoot when the neighbors are outside as NONE of them are undetectable if you're listening for it.

Do find them excellent little rifles, and hope hyou get as much enjoyment from yours as I've had from mine.
