    QB78D? There's one that may be better coming- the Xisico XS60C

    The specs on the website are wrong; .177 will be 660fps, the .22 caliber is 495fps.

    http://xisicousa.com/xs60c.html

    Either way, I handled one of these earlier today (not yet in full production) and it is pretty neat. Rear-cocking on pulling the bolt and fibre-optic front sight. It is very similar to a QB78/Crosman 160 but different enough to be easily picked out in a pile of them. Price on them is likely to be around $130.00

    No ETA for Canada, yet.

    I'd say I care- but I'd probably be lying...

    Bob's a smart-a$$ now isn't he?

    As for fugly, I'll give you that it takes a bit away from the "traditional" look with that rounded Co2 cap (there is a bulk fill adapter underneath it- the round cap can be removed if you don't mind seeing brass) and stock/breech cut out. But, I think the weight spec. on the website is also wrong- this thing felt pretty light- not "cheap" light, but definitely shaved a bit.
    I'd say I care- but I'd probably be lying...

    These have been sold in the 'ol USA for about a year now. Some info over on the 'Yeller and the Chinese '54. Lebaron's have (had) it listed in their 2011 annual - but not available of course, as the Ruger LGR in .177 only.
    I'd be interested in a .22 cal if they make it to Canada.

    True enough, but it seems none ever did make it to Canada. Hopefully they start shipping soon.

    The QB78 pricing will likely be going up in soon- when everyone's inventory is gone and they need to re-purchase they now have to come through Beeman-S/R (SAG bought them two years ago and they are the importer now) and they have raised the price.

    I like the design of the rifle... A little more modern... looks different enough that I would grab one just to find out how it ticks... Definitely 22 for me...

    Sniper brought one of these to one of the Waterdown shows over a year ago. They feel and balance nice but man are they fugly. I think doing a custom stock for one
    would be a PITA . Mike Meleck wound up having to rework all the first ones that were imported into the States, and ended up going to China to help them out. Hopefully
    all the kinks will be worked out before we see them here. Oh, and Bob, I think someone on the Yellow allready did the HPA thing already, but no one would do the write up
    and post the results as well as you. Look forward to your next project.
