General Comments

WARNING: Do not over-tighten stock screws! I did and Stripped out the receiver and screw. Am waiting for repacement parts.

I really like this airgun. Good power/range, straight shooter. RWS superdome worked well for me. TX200 manual suggest 16.4g weight for pellets, JSB exact may be better. At 50 yard, I'm hitting throught coffee cans. Get good mounts! The Beeman scope I'm using likes to slide around. Shrouded Barrel makes harder to clean. First thing I did was degrease the barrel by shooting paper towels through.

Bought the gun from Best airguns. Paid $250 free shipping and free scope. Scope is cheap lacking enough windage spread. Going to put a Bushnell scope on later.
Best airguns is a bit slow about returning e-mails (3 days). And good luck ever getting a refund. They might exchange something. But overall Best ships fast and offer tracking.

Bam XS-B40 .22 is a solid airgun at a good price.

    Did you get your repair parts yet? Was that easy?
    Thanks

    Hi Markhron,

    Yes, I did get the parts. I had to drill out the old screw. However, it is now very easy to take the Xisico B40 apart and lube it.

    I put an Ultra-Xl replacement spring in my B40 from Air Rifle Headquarters. MUCH tighter groups! Just "drop-in" the spring and start shooting. Power is about the same, but the consistency is great. JM also makes a Hornet seal that fits the B40.

    Beeman Trophy .22 pellets work very well in my Xisico B40 air rifle!
