Hey Kirby, Does yours have the scope stop on it like Gene's?

Yes , the dovetails look a little short though, I may have to use two piece mounts. kirby

Hurry up and get that update out on this gun Gene!!  I almost pressed the button this morning, but figured I'd wait and see what you thought of it after you got a better look at it.
    regards, Scott

Now I'm really confused. I'm not sure wht xisicos gun would have to go to Umarex when they already own the Ruger Air Hawk and Elite. Never seen 2 clones of the same gun. Xisico was tauting the B-25 new for this year and Umarex already has the Ruger and its been out for awhile. Did the manufacture for the Ruger change somewhere resently. I guess I'm trying to make more out of this than there really is???

[mikeiniowa]

Xisico makes the Ruger guns, why they have the B-25 listed as a new product??? Same guns just different stamping on the reciever, could be the B-25 is what it is called in Canada and other countries...

[leftcoast1]

Good point. I guess that means we will never see them sold in the US as the B-25. I saw Compasseco has the AirHawk in snythetic but would need to have my hands on one first. I'm really picky on synthetic stocks. Thanks for the info Mike

[mikeiniowa]

The one I have has the plastic type stock, fit and finish on the stock is excellent, just transmits any vibration better than wood...when I talked to the folks at Umarex they called it a Black Hawk...as there are two different plastic stocks I have no clue as to which is which....right out of the box the one I have buzzed just like an RWS 34 does when new so it's a good clone if they even reproduced the vibration...LOL

[Gene_SC]

Well Mike, it is certain that the Chinese will keep making this new action they have cloned and may sell it with different names, Like the Beeman 950H, AR1000,Hammerili Titan, and TF-89's plus there are even more with same action but sold under different names.

[leftcoast1]

LOL. That's pretty good Mike. Other than the vibration how does the stock feel?
