So I have been looking for a cheap way to get into pcp rifles for awhile now. I have had a spring gun for years and its just not cutting for me anymore. I stumbled upon Flying dragon airguns the other day and saw the xs60c pcp for 165 in .22 and with a pump for 310. Can anyone tell me what to expect with this rifle? What fpe can I expect from this gun with what pellet? What about accuracy to 50 yards, can I take 100yd shots with this on starlings? (Accuracy and FPE).On one hand Im am really wanting to get into pcps but I am a little strapped for cash right now, on the other hand I dont want to spend money I could save towards something better if this rifle isnt going to fit my needs because I would end up spending even more to get the results I want. So does anyone have any insight for me? I would appreciate any information. Thanks!
 
There's a couple of videos on youtube about it. I think Mike do a free tune so you can ask for different performance. The video I saw the the guy was getting hi of 1043 with crosman 14.3 gr pellets but there was no curve. He also had one tuned for 900 fps. I'm no air gun snob by any means, but I think if you got this and wanted to shoot long range, you will probably be upgrading soon.

The 60 is more of a tinkerers gun in my opinion. I believe that was even a sell point for flying dragon. Could one be happy with it out of the box? Maybe??

This is just my opinion. If you think it could be along time before you can afford the pcp of your dreams, then get a 60 or a discovery. But, if your dream pcp is a marauder or similarly priced gun than just save the cash for now.

If I were to ever buy another pump, it would be a hill and nothing else. Once again, if pumping is a temporary means to fill (getting a tank when you can afford one) then a budget pump is fine and can get you up and shooting. If, you plan to pump forever, save the money for a Hill!!

Best value ever for a pcp, but, no warranty (Mike does stand behind them somewhat but no warranty). Trigger is the same as the 2078-QB and very good! 10 shots at 25fpe using 14.3 beats (or the same) as the current discovery as far as shot count. Most shoot just fine as far a hunting or informal groups, out of the box 1st place in BR it is not but it is a solid value.
I got the pump also, it does seem to be what PA now carries as the G6, good pump.
A side note on the Hill, some say avoid the MK4 as the internal finish is not as good as what we are used to from Hill, get a MK3 or give the less costly a try, pretty easy to rebuild the "G6" / MM pump.
NEED a warranty? Want a ton of after market parts? Think of a different rifle but dollar for dollar Mike's modded XS IS a value.

I guess my best bet would be to contact mike about one then. I dont really have a dream rifle per se. I just want something thats a step up from a springer and with enough power for long range pesting. As far as tinkering goes that is a plus for me. I cant have anythung without taking it apart a few times so out of the box performance isnt a deal breaker. Also I only plan on pumping. Air tanks would be an easier route but the cost doesnt justify them for me. Of course I may change my mind in that at some point. Thanks for the replies guys. I appreciate all of the info.
