I  would like to thank Mike M. for his hospitality during my visit to his shop last Thursday.  He was very patient with all my questions and made me feel right at home.  I was able to see and handle many airguns that I had only read about.

My wish list grew quite a bit that visit.  The new XS60 is at the top of the list.

Thanks again Mike for putting up with me.

So what does the XS60 have to offer more of than other Chinese airguns? I sure wish I could get up that way to visit Mike as well.

: easy to get here Gene....

Drive west until you get to a big river, then just ask....

I have never owned any CO2 gun before, so have nothing to compare it to.  
The things I liked were: not having to buy an adapter for bulk fill, solid fit of the barrel in the receiver, the lever safety,  good size for my son to shoot.

The 78 looked nice too and I may have to get one of them in the meantime.  This cold weather puts a damper on things.

It's not cold here in Iowa, just a mite brisk.
