I've only one model of Bam/Xisico rifle,...B-28's in .177, .22,. and hopefully my .25 cal back from Mike before too long. These rifles are stong, accurate, and lethal enough for small game out passed the normal parameters of most springers. They really aren't that heavy, but they are in fact a 'long gun' fir sure. With practice, they are a pleasure to shoot. tjk
