My newest baby showed up tonight but first off I wanna say Mike M is the man, not only did i get a sweet deal on the rifle, he choked and crowned the barrel, lube and tuned her, and also did the second trigger screw addition at no charge

, then the icing on the cake he threw in two piston seals for my b-21 and a leather one for my qb-36, needless to say he will get my business from now on, thanks mike, will post pics soon

By all accounts Mike is a great guy and a pleasure to do business with. I'm enjoying the B25 I just bought from him. Please do keep us up to date on the XS-28. I'd love to hear about your experience with it--Shot cycle, power, accuracy etc.

Congrats on the new shooter! Mike is awesome for sure. Post pics when ya get a chance.

put plenty of lead through her but finally had the time to mount the hawke elevation adjustable weaver base with the new design walmart centerpoint 4-16x40AOIR. Guys this rifle hits hard and is by far the most accurate shooting, smoothest firing cycle gun i have, sorry pics are from the phone, and thanks again MM for the kick @@@ rifle

I kept (keep) telling people that this is the gun to get. Power beauty and accuracy all in one. The 48" I didn't care for so I take 4 inches off the end but that's my preference. Mike is a great guy and does great work. I will be getting at least one more XS28 in .22 from him and will have him apply all his magic to is before it leaves his shop.

better get one now because he just posted his sale prices this morning. I had planned on chopping and recrowning the barrel when I got it but when the box arrived he labeled it as the barrel has been choked and recrowned. I do love the accuracy of it and just have not been able to bring myself to hacking it off fearing ill kill my accuracy

Yes. But I filled in the holes and put in bigger grub screws.

Mine out of the box was rough but shootable. I recommend getting a tune or tuning it yourself it really makes a difference.

Donny: Looks like you have the Hawke adjustable mount on backwards. I have 2 of these mounts.

you are correct and if you look closley you can see the breech block/barrel assembly actually vers up, must have been machined wrong at the factory. with the mount backwards i was able to compensate for it, the accuracy is so dead on i fear replacing the barrel with a new one, Mike M choked and recrowned this barrel and its to near perfect to mess with.

imo you cant go wrong as long as its tuned, theres always room for more airguns, just tell the wife to move over some of her shoes in the closet to make room

Dude! Howd you pull off mounting a vise on the kitchen counter! Lol nice rifle. Its hard to beat the 350/28 and other clones. Power and accuracy are awesome.
