I bought this gun based on the review. I can't believe how much gun/scope you get for your money. This thing is a tack driver! Thank you so much for your information. Anyone watching this wondering about the gun- GO TO FLYING DRAGON AND BUY THIS!!!!
Nice overview of the HC !! Thanks for giving Flying Dragon a shout out!!!! Watching this made my day, I had mine for over a year and it still holds up great!!!
I talked with Mike M at Flying Dragons and ordered the .25 cal. Turns out that he does the 100fps tune as part of his pre-delivery set-up and test, along with an air-fill and test. Kudos to Mike. Great prep and delivery service!! I have the FX radar chrono and many pellets on order to test. Will let you know if the barrel has the accuracy your two did and if the fpe makes the appropriate jump, an even bigger super value! (I have been air-gunning over 30 years, just don't have the interest or $ for the videos). Thanks.
I discovered this beautiful pcp rifle online in Canada, but the posted info didn't tell me enough so I was somewhat hesitant to purchase it. I found your video here with all the info I was seeking, with that being said, my next move was purchasing it. thank you for your very informative, educating and entertaining review on this badass rifle as it is my first pcp as well.
John, I watched your review for this beauty a couple of times and couldn't help myself! I called Mike this morning to ask some simple questions and get his personal feedback. As soon as I got off the phone I ordered this in 22 caliber and the Rex 3-12x40 side focus mil dot, can't wait! Great job with your videos, I really enjoy them and appreciate the hard work you put into them. Thanks!
Peter great news...Mike is such a great guy. He runs a single man operation. He does everything personally right down to shipping your rifle. You are really going to enjoy shooting that. It is such an incredible value at that price point. Plus Mike is a quality individual that does amazing work and doesn't hesitate to answer all of your questions. That's why I did this video to tell the airgun community one of the best kept secrets. I have been interacting with him for years. I hope you said "HI" for me. Thanks for reaching out, sharing your comments as well as your interaction with Mike. Keep me posted on how you like it!
Every time I buy something like this two months later someone comes out with a superior product.As I told a friend if it wasn’t for bad luck I wouldn’t have any luck at all.
That like anything else, always something faster or better looking, that's why I have so many airguns. For the money, the Deluxe is still a nice rifle. I have something I will be reviewing in the next several weeks...JTS PCP rifle...JTS is in the Xisico family. Happy Shooting!
We have built a couple of these for customers. A good lead lapping of the barrel, proper lathe cut crown and a smoothed leade and you have a solid barrel. It's fairly easy to tune a really flat shot string with these guns. We have done regulators on a few of them as well. The performance is solid. For the cost of the gun and tune/barrel job you can't beat the final product for the cost.
Sorry one more thing. The .22 out of everyone we have tuned for customers the pellet of choice for it is Copper coated Baracudas and Air Arm version of JSB18.13s the AA 18g with the copper coated Baracudas being number one. Oddly surprising as I've never owned a gun that chose any of the copper coated pellets over pure lead pellets but these barrels just like the copper coated pellets they even shoot the Copper coated FTTs extremely well.
wow !!! that gun is just awesome, i have got to get one so you showed me a new gun i never even knew existed but its selling at a very low price and i can get the scope with it under 400 bucks what a deal, thank you so much for showing that gun, i love your videos keep up the great work
Thanks for your video , after I watched it many times I bought one in June ,.22 cal A beautiful stock very reliable made and accurate in 50 yards , rifle likes many different kind pellets.60 good shots in level power 3 I’ll just keep it the way it is. Thanks again
Having watched your video I purchased the Sentry 705, .22 cal, with the Rex scope. Enjoyed your presentation, very informative. Looking forward to receiving the air rifle around the end of May after talking with Mike. I’ll provide additional info on the performance after putting it through it’s paces.
Great!! Poor Mike has been a little under the weather lately. I just asked him to put together a .25 cal XS28 for me, with the full tune. I will feature it in the not too distant future. You are going to love the Deluxe and .22 Caliber is my favorite!! Keep me posted on how you like it :)
Super rifle and great review John! Many of us watch and love your reviews because you review all brands of air rifles which are reasonable priced. Many reviewers won't touch any air rifle they don't get paid to review!!! Your subscribers would not know of Xisico air rifles if it wasn't for your reviews. Super job, I can't wait for future reviews from brands like Air Venturi, American Tactical Imports, Beeman, Seneca, and more Xisicos.
I try to show something in every price range and 99% of my inventory is affordable by the average Joe. Stay tuned for next week. I will feature a very inexpensive shooter that I turned into a really accurate, powerful and fun gun!! Thank you for your kind comments.
Well after watching this video multiple times and wanting one of these rifles for a long time I finally got myself a late Christmas present and ordered it from Mike today with the tune.
You will love this rifle. You'll be surprised how much rifle you get for the $. Mike gives incredible service as well. I hope you mentioned Airgun Detectives because he goes out of his way to take care of our subscribers. But seriously, you will really enjoy the rifle. Keep me posted!!👍😉
I have want to buy a pcp rifle for quite awhile but couldn't get myself to lay down $500 or more for one. Then I saw these. Bought one in ,25 for a Christmas gift . Great looking and shooting.
I just looked at the website and the warranty is FOR THE LIFE OF THE RIFLE!!! Try GETTING that level with an FX or RAW. Heck . . . for $300, I'd gladly just buy another if it ever broke. Incredible rifle!
Just... WOW!! I'd buy THAT for a dollar!! ..or 3, 4.. hundred dollars! One amazing piece of work! And really good looking too. Would not mind one of those in .22 - or in .177 for that matter. Was rightabout nothing I would not like about it. Someone would possibly dislike that gauge positioned at the end of the barrel - but not me.. Can't but wonder how the hell the price on those ain't higher.. Apparently someone has made a phenomenal job on constructing a simple PCP rifle with outstanding accuracy. Absolutely fantastic!! (Not personally familiar PCPs though, for to give professional feedback😁)
I have a .22 the original version shooting 30 gr slugs @ 40 FPE :) Mike can also tune your gun for a little more $ to your liking,before shipping if you do not have the tools or time to do so yourself, and he stands behind his work. In time I will be adding the newest version for sure !
Excellent review of the new Xisico Sentry 705-9K I've got a prototype .25 (705-2) of the gun that I've modified and am getting 50fpe from opening the ports up to 3/16" I haven't taken apart my .22 yet however the thing is already very powerful the way that it is. Mike is a stand up guy for sure and does some fine work. I have the 3-12X Rex scope on my .22, the gun is phenomenally accurate and makes for an excellent hunter no doubt.
Definitely on my list of "which gun for benchrest" ? Great in depth review of my new potential #1 choice. I went to the FD site and couldn't believe the price. It's a lot of gun for the money esp when compared to the Marauder Lothar, puts it in the very affordable package range for me as I'd have to get a compressor to go with. It's not how the gun looks but how accurate and from some of the posts here, it seems there are plenty of people that confirm your review. Xmas is coming and I may just drop a letter in the box for santa. Thank you.
I appreciate you watching. I still have a .25 caliber I need to review. Do yourself a favor, Call Mike direct at Flying Dragon Air Rifles, tell him I sent you and he'll take care of you. He is having issues with inventory like everyone else so I would double check on availability. 😉
ive just bought one of these in the uk and traded in my gamo urban , while the build quality is obviously chinese it still appears an awesome gun , absolutely zero recoil and another 40-50 shots more than the gamo urban (phox) . i havent fired it properly as im waiting on a scope and ive just taken it apart (it comes apart very easily 3 bolts) i am just about to dip mine in realtree camo .
I would love to see that...Shoot me an email when you are done if you don't mind, I would love to see that. I am actually doing custom finishes now and have been experimenting on many stocks. info@airgundetectives.com
@@AirgunDetectives will do , ive been working on it today and its looking good , just waiting for the scope to come ..i wish i had chosen a lighter grassy type of film rather than dark woodland but it went on well . the wood stock on mine was quite poor finish wise so this has transformed it .
Actually, these rifles don't come with open sights. There are very few PCP's that offer those options, but there are plenty of people who still enjoy open sights. Thank you for tuning in👍
Beautiful guns I appreciate you testing and suggesting the pellets that you find work best in the guns you review. Enjoying my indoor range during this interesting time of "stay at home" orders.
Is there semi auto air gun that can be switch semi auto or per single? safety device may be set for semi auto? Thank you for your sharing, highly appreciated.👍
@@AirgunDetectives Thank you for your quick response. It’s a good news, especially better for pest control, since shot the first bird down, other birds may fly away, semi auto would do it continuously. May I ask you a question? Does Air gun can be allowed to do hunting in all states? or depends on each state’s regulations? Thank you in advance, highly appreciated.
Thanks for your time making this video.. Question what size is the fill nipple? I lost mine and can't find a replacement that fits.. I tried a 9mm and it's too big.
Hey JC, Thanks a lot for recommending the Xisico CO2 and PCP videos. You have really outdone yourself in terms of the quality, content, and amount of information you pack into these videos. Originally when I stumbled onto your channel about a year and a half ago, I just wanted to get a good evaluation on a Gamo Magnum .22 but then I ended up getting hooked on your videos. I was partial to Gamo because of the price point and the build quality and then the swarm models came out. Based on your videos, I really thought I would probably end up buying either a Gamo Swarm .22 Bone Collector gen 2, Swarm Magnum .22 gen2 or the Gamo Urban .22. But after this video I'm not so sure anymore. Your opinion of the Xisico PCPs and Flying Dragon are really making the decision tougher than I thought. So before I make a final pick, are there any other break barrel or PCPs that you would highly recommend? Would you consider a "Top 10 PCPs" and "Top 10 Break Barrels" video specifically for hunting small to medium sized game(raccoon or possibly small wild pigs 30lbs or less)? Or do you have a distinct favorite above everything else? Would love to know. Thanks again. Stay Safe, Be Well, God Bless.
Hi Ken, I have something coming out tomorrow that may fit your needs. But I will consider the top "5" or "10" in the future. Thanks for watching and appreciate the kind comments 👍😉
Looks are a bit marmite but for the price it is amazing. Under $400 with the scope. Would love to see these in the UK for a similar price. Great review
@@scousewillo62 I had one of those before Diana took them over..Mrod Air had them, Air Max, I was disappointed in the accuracy and the rifles are really small. Something a smaller child would shoot. I was not impressed.
Wish they had an externally adjustable regulator like the Liberty’s and Avengers from Nova Vista. I like the looks of that gun. Just not in the market for anymore unregulated guns. Plus 299$ for the Avenger will be a wake up call for some other manufactures who have been taking all of us for a ride for far too long now and it’s long overdue I think. Those guns are going to fly off your shelves. Power junkies and tinkerers are going to have a blast with them. They will regulate them soon I hope. Thanks for the review. Stay safe, stay well, god bless.
@@Unsupervised777 try this flyingdragonairrifles.org/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=70 If you are interested make sure you call Mike during regular business hours and he'll answer any questions you have.
ive just hydrodipped a hatsan airtact stock which has come out well so im thinking of buying one of these and dipping the whole thing, i think that would look kewl.
Great review using your standardized protocol. Amazing results and velocity/accuracy/pellet combinations. I assume you had both the .177 and .22 on the Full power setting. On the Flyingdragon website, it mentions an optional tune adds about 100 fps. Looking at your results vs what they say the factory rates are, it appears yours may have had the "tune". Even if it did, still a bargain depending on price of the tune. You didn't say anything about the synthetic stock/barrel cover, how it feels and functions. It looks like it wraps (tightly?) the first 1-2" of stock and then is hollow with slots under the air tube? The .25 cal version shows factory specs that seem to drop a lot, especially compared to how good your .22 was, so I imagine the same higher level of performance only would come given the optional tune. Anyhow, thanks again for a great review....making me think. Also what did you think of their 3-12x40 SF? Any comments on that? Plastic lenses? Brightness, flatness of field, prisming effects, consistency and linearity of adjustments etc? Not only is SF but illuminated and it is only $70!!
Hi Michael. To increase the FPS there is a small transfer port between the breech and the air chamber. You simply take the breech off the chamber and it is exposed. You then drill out that to a slightly larger diameter, can't remember the drill size off the top of my head. You can do that yourself or Mike will take care of that with the tune. It does add FPS. I did he same thing to my original Co2 right after I reviewed that one. I want to show the best possible performance. The scopes Mike has "REX" are fantastic for the price. I lean toward the side focus. The optics are really clear , especially for the price point! They are designed for the PCP's and Co2's they are not setup for the reverse recoil of the break barrels. The rifles feel really comfortable and I like the adjustable cheek rest. The barrels are shrouded. Overall one of my favorite rifles for the price. BTW these rifles are so easy to work on! I have stripped down a couple of these. In my experience these are the easiest PCP's to work on. Thanks for watching and appreciate you leaving comments!
They are great guns and you can up the power by opening up the valve between the breech and the air cylinder. There is a little aluminum value and you simply drill that out a couple of sizes. Both the 702 and the 705 are the same. These guns are really easy to work on. :)
Just great Airgun detective, do you know what you just did? I just purchased Flashpup and a gauntlet both in .25, now I need to purchase the sentry in .22. Great reviews keep them coming👍
@@juantego7614 yes....you will be blown away for the quality you get at such an inexpensive price. These however, are not for break barrels, Co2, pcp and rim fire.
@Hugo Ferreira yes I have a GAMO Urban. That is a fun little rifle and I will review it in the future. I do have to say the Deluxe has more power, better accuracy and more shots per fill. Also, you only need to fill the Deluxe to 3000 psi. Thank you for the comments and I really appreciate you watching! I hope you are safe and healthy :)
Wow great review, I own several of Mikes springes which I also had him tune and they are outstanding. I've looked at this pcp on his website and considered it but never found a complete review on the new style. With your great review I do believe I will get the new .22 cal. Perhaps in futher reviews maby you could get a db meter for sound measurement. Again, thanks for your hard work!
Can it be regulated? If so, where could I find the regulator designed for this gun? These days, I only shoot reg'd guns and I install them myself. I like tinkering and tuning.
I drilled out the airport valve between the breech and the air tube. Took 10 minutes. But you can adjust the power, which is a bonus. The moderator is a slip on. I wanted to demonstrate the max velocity and FPE. These are backyard friendly. Medium 3 plus noise, but much quieter than the 702's.
32ftlbs will shoot through any food can you can get. If your wondering does it have enough power to shoot through tin/steel food cans or only aluminum drink cans... A 20ftlb gun will shoot through food cans at a 100y meaning around 10ftlbs on target. A 30+ ftlbs gun will shoot through 55 gallon drums with hard alloy pellets no problem (not soft lead pellets as they just flatten but with a hard Alloy pellet like Predator GTOs a 30ftlb gun will shoot through a 55 gallon drum 25y no issues at all.)
I know it's been a couple of years about these Xisco Sentry Deluxe air rifle. You wouldn't happen to know where I can get another field probe for my 25 caliber? And magazines? When I move from one house to another somehow they came up missing. I've already contacted Mike spoke to him briefly and, was quoted a price for the magazines but that was it never heard from him again. Well that's fine about the magazines, but would you happen to know what other fill probe will work? I can single load until I come across another magazine or two
It is not quiet but I would rate it in the higher medium range. I shoot it in my yard all day long. It is much quieter than the first generation 702 model. I would classify it as "Backyard Friendly!"
These guns that you just reviewed are these guns been tuned up by Mike Malick or they stock and what power setting were you shooting them out on in this video
Mike does a very basic tune on all these he sells. That's included in his price. With that he opens up the transfer port. These were set at the higher end during the testing.
Another great video👌 can you please test the H&N Baracuda Magnum 4.5 mm 16.36 grain. I had the Evanix Blizzard that was tuned it could not shoot anything below 10g without going over the speed of sound. The H&N Baracuda hollow points was thee best for hunting. But I found that the Baracuda Magnums were something else crazy powerful and accurate. Next Mugnum Air Rifle please test the fps and accuracy on these. Thanks for the great content.
That is the issue with the .177 in PCP's and Magnums. Way too much velocity for the lighter projectiles. So you have to research the really heavy gr which is difficult in .177. Whereas .22 caliber has numerous options. Yes, I need to obtain some of those and we can test them out.👍😉
This is explosive info ! MANY THX John ! Just let us know how these hold over time ! I wonder - will Xisico keep up this quality and price for very long ? But who likes that extra camper's item, that "bread basket" under the barrel ??? Or is this a pointer to a Bailey Bridge ? IOW: Need Engineer Corps skills for use ? No canteen, but could we fill part of the air tank with tea, coffee or beer also ? LOL !
Pretty much stock. I opened up the port tube, which takes a few minutes. These rifles are so easy to work on.. I had them on power level 5 to show the max performance.
Hi Derrick...I just got in a New 705 .25 cal this week. I need to go through it and do some testing and I will put a review together in the next few weeks. The rife is identical to the .22, but I want to see the performance. I usually lean towards the .22 because of the variety of pellets. But I will let you know. Thanks for watching😉👍
Hi Joe and Jim, Ok....oops I missed that one. So I just put the .22 caliber on the scale with the Scope and the bipods. It was right at 10 lbs, so 7 lbs naked is probably right on!!
Awesome review as always. I am thinking of getting my first pellet gun. I have been eyeing on gamo g - magnum igt mach 1 .22 cal here in South Africa, since we don't have swarm. However i saw this one(sentry) costing less than the g magnum and it is pcp (producing enough energy and velocity than gamo according to this test, thanks for that), but it will eventual costs bit more since i will have to buy the hand pump and scope. So what would you advice for a novice in terms of choice? or if it was you with your knowledge which gun were you going to take? . my aim is to hunt some big and strong birds such as guinea fowls and ducks in dams from distance. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
For your first rifle I would go with a breakbarrel. You don't need to worry about an air source or invest the money in such equipment. Let me know of some of the option you have for break barrel in SA and I would be happy to give you my opinion. Email me your choices at info@airgundetectives.com
I noticed a bit of a CHEAT while you were shooting the last object at about 13-13. I noticed a piece of the wood backstop changed. Means, perhaps, you MISSED, had a mis-fire (?), or some other mishap. I won't look for any more just in case.
What are your thoughts on this as a first pcp? I’m thinking of buying this and a good hand pump. Great review as usual! I should mention that I would be using this for Target’s and plinking from 10-20 yds
I have had awesome experience with the umarex guantlet .22. You can get it in .177, .22 and .25. For $300 you get a regulated PCP that can get 60+ shots with the .22. You can fill the tank with a hand pump on less than 200 strokes. I have mine sighted in at 50 yards and it's awesome. Best $300 I've spent on any airgun for sure!
That might be a lot of gun for 10-20 yards. You would never miss from that distance. PCP rifles are good from 20-50 yards and beyond with that type of power. If you are going to be basically shooting target practice and plinking, other than a break barrel, I would suggest you look at a Co2 rifle, Mike has some great ones, look at my review on the XISICO XS-60C th-cam.com/video/dx39BNshMAs/w-d-xo.html flyingdragonairrifles.org/index.php?route=product/product&path=59&product_id=55 On the other hand if you really want a PCP this would not be a bad choice.
Both the scope were great. They have an adjustable object with a side focus. Mike actually has a few models and they are all under $100. I showed two different models, one had a lighted reticle and a bubble level. The other had a filtered lens. Thanks for watching 😉👍
@@edmusick7794 I totally agree with you.Just like the Gauntlet ( over done ) stick a fork in it. The only good thing is you don't need to take out a second mortgage to buy it!
@@joedokes8641 the FX mafia, their little cabal of 24/7 FX shill reviews, they put everything else down like this super nice 705 Sentry. I've watched most of them migrate from fun affordable airguns to only touting the latest and most expensive pcps. I can name the greatest offenders but I'm sure you and our fellow air gunners already know who they are. That snobbery really hurts the hobby and I hope other folks begin to express their disdain for this behavior.
I bought this gun based on the review. I can't believe how much gun/scope you get for your money. This thing is a tack driver! Thank you so much for your information. Anyone watching this wondering about the gun- GO TO FLYING DRAGON AND BUY THIS!!!!

Excellent review of the new Xisico Sentry 705-9K I've got a prototype .25 (705-2) of the gun that I've modified and am getting 50fpe from opening the ports up to 3/16" I haven't taken apart my .22 yet however the thing is already very powerful the way that it is. Mike is a stand up guy for sure and does some fine work. I have the 3-12X Rex scope on my .22, the gun is phenomenally accurate and makes for an excellent hunter no doubt.
Thanks for watching and they are really fun guns and so easy to work on. It is really easy to open up the port tube. 👍
Definitely on my list of "which gun for benchrest" ? Great in depth review of my new potential #1 choice. I went to the FD site and couldn't believe the price. It's a lot of gun for the money esp when compared to the Marauder Lothar, puts it in the very affordable package range for me as I'd have to get a compressor to go with. It's not how the gun looks but how accurate and from some of the posts here, it seems there are plenty of people that confirm your review. Xmas is coming and I may just drop a letter in the box for santa. Thank you.
I appreciate you watching. I still have a .25 caliber I need to review. Do yourself a favor, Call Mike direct at Flying Dragon Air Rifles, tell him I sent you and he'll take care of you. He is having issues with inventory like everyone else so I would double check on availability. 😉
That was a great review. I love the idea of being able to adjust the power too. It’s an awesome looking gun as well. Thanks
Hi William, those are really fun rifles! Powerful, accurate and affordable. Thank you for watching 👍
ive just bought one of these in the uk and traded in my gamo urban , while the build quality is obviously chinese it still appears an awesome gun , absolutely zero recoil and another 40-50 shots more than the gamo urban (phox) . i havent fired it properly as im waiting on a scope and ive just taken it apart (it comes apart very easily 3 bolts) i am just about to dip mine in realtree camo .
I would love to see that...Shoot me an email when you are done if you don't mind, I would love to see that. I am actually doing custom finishes now and have been experimenting on many stocks. info@airgundetectives.com
@@AirgunDetectives will do , ive been working on it today and its looking good , just waiting for the scope to come ..i wish i had chosen a lighter grassy type of film rather than dark woodland but it went on well . the wood stock on mine was quite poor finish wise so this has transformed it .
How much was it here in England?

Amazing review! Can you use open sights instead of a scope? Thanks!
Actually, these rifles don't come with open sights. There are very few PCP's that offer those options, but there are plenty of people who still enjoy open sights. Thank you for tuning in👍
Great review! Great rifle! I’m getting one!! Thank you!
Beautiful guns
I appreciate you testing and suggesting the pellets that you find work best in the guns you review.
Enjoying my indoor range during this interesting time of "stay at home" orders.
Richard....hope all a well and you and the family are staying healthy. Thank for the comments 👍
Great video! I think this is the third time I have watched it!
Does the moderator come off the end and is the barrel shrouded
What do you do for a living outside play with air guns?
Is there semi auto air gun that can be switch semi auto or per single?
safety device may be set for semi auto?
Thank you for your sharing, highly appreciated.👍
There are actually several out there now. You have some BB rifles, DPMS, and there are some PCP pellet semi-autos as well. 😉👍
@@AirgunDetectives Thank you for your quick response. It’s a good news, especially better for pest control, since shot the first bird down, other birds may fly away, semi auto would do it continuously.
May I ask you a question?
Does Air gun can be allowed to do hunting in all states? or depends on each state’s regulations?
Thank you in advance, highly appreciated.
Thanks for your time making this video.. Question what size is the fill nipple? I lost mine and can't find a replacement that fits.. I tried a 9mm and it's too big.
Sterling, call my buddy Mike Melick at Flying Dragon Air Rifles, and I am sure he can locate you a replacement. Happy Shooting 👍🏻
Hey JC, Thanks a lot for recommending the Xisico CO2 and PCP videos.
You have really outdone yourself in terms of the quality, content, and amount of information you pack into these videos.
Originally when I stumbled onto your channel about a year and a half ago, I just wanted to get a good evaluation on a Gamo Magnum .22 but then I ended up getting hooked on your videos.
I was partial to Gamo because of the price point and the build quality and then the swarm models came out. Based on your videos, I really thought I would probably end up buying either a Gamo Swarm .22 Bone Collector gen 2, Swarm Magnum .22 gen2 or the Gamo Urban .22.
But after this video I'm not so sure anymore. Your opinion of the Xisico PCPs and Flying Dragon are really making the decision tougher than I thought.
So before I make a final pick, are there any other break barrel or PCPs that you would highly recommend? Would you consider a "Top 10 PCPs" and "Top 10 Break Barrels" video specifically for hunting small to medium sized game(raccoon or possibly small wild pigs 30lbs or less)? Or do you have a distinct favorite above everything else? Would love to know.
Thanks again.
Stay Safe, Be Well, God Bless.
Hi Ken, I have something coming out tomorrow that may fit your needs. But I will consider the top "5" or "10" in the future. Thanks for watching and appreciate the kind comments 👍😉
Got one, a 705 in 25 Cal. Semper FI! T hank you! And THANK YOU Mike! Flying Dragon AR!
Jerry..Congratulations!! I am sure you will love it. I just picked up a .25 as well and I will do a review on it in a few weeks.
I've had the 25 cal- 705 for over a year! Keep up the Detective work! Semper FI!
Nice stylish rifle! Good review to!
Would be nice you reviewed Hatsan Vectis .177/.22
It's very accurate, that's amazing.
Looks are a bit marmite but for the price it is amazing. Under $400 with the scope. Would love to see these in the UK for a similar price. Great review
Hi Roy, Thanks for watching and I appreciate your comments. This is a tough one to beat for the price!
@@AirgunDetectives would love ro see a review of the new Diana Stormrider - Classic, around £200 in the UK
@@scousewillo62 I had one of those before Diana took them over..Mrod Air had them, Air Max, I was disappointed in the accuracy and the rifles are really small. Something a smaller child would shoot. I was not impressed.
Love Xisico... have shot them for several years.
Can you do more on break what is the strongest break barrel you can buy in Ruger
Here you go..th-cam.com/video/zIlMrJhaK8w/w-d-xo.html
Wish they had an externally adjustable regulator like the Liberty’s and Avengers from Nova Vista. I like the looks of that gun. Just not in the market for anymore unregulated guns. Plus 299$ for the Avenger will be a wake up call for some other manufactures who have been taking all of us for a ride for far too long now and it’s long overdue I think. Those guns are going to fly off your shelves. Power junkies and tinkerers are going to have a blast with them. They will regulate them soon I hope. Thanks for the review. Stay safe, stay well, god bless.
How was your comment helpful to anyone but you?
Fill system is the same as Hatsan. I like the easy operation magazine. Good accuracy. Seems like a rifle to be considered.
A lot of rifle for the $👍
Good review. Pretty cool looking pcp
For the money they are hard to beat. Thank you for watching 👍😉
Airgun Detectives I checked the Flying dragon air rifles website, I didn’t see the Sentry Deluxe model. I have to keep checking I guess
@@Unsupervised777 try this flyingdragonairrifles.org/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=70 If you are interested make sure you call Mike during regular business hours and he'll answer any questions you have.
How much do they cost? What is the barrel length? Does he still sell them . ? Thankyou for your time
Shane, they don't make them anymore. I do have a tuned version available, email me if you are interested info@airgundetectives.com 👍
ive just hydrodipped a hatsan airtact stock which has come out well so im thinking of buying one of these and dipping the whole thing, i think that would look kewl.
That sounds awesome 👌.
Awsome hc. We're can I find flying dragon at please?
Great review. going to purchase one but was wondering what scope you recommend
Another great review and video thanks for sharing.
Cory..thanks again for your kind comments 😊
What's the FPE for the .22cal?
Great review using your standardized protocol. Amazing results and velocity/accuracy/pellet combinations. I assume you had both the .177 and .22 on the Full power setting. On the Flyingdragon website, it mentions an optional tune adds about 100 fps. Looking at your results vs what they say the factory rates are, it appears yours may have had the "tune". Even if it did, still a bargain depending on price of the tune. You didn't say anything about the synthetic stock/barrel cover, how it feels and functions. It looks like it wraps (tightly?) the first 1-2" of stock and then is hollow with slots under the air tube? The .25 cal version shows factory specs that seem to drop a lot, especially compared to how good your .22 was, so I imagine the same higher level of performance only would come given the optional tune. Anyhow, thanks again for a great review....making me think. Also what did you think of their 3-12x40 SF? Any comments on that? Plastic lenses? Brightness, flatness of field, prisming effects, consistency and linearity of adjustments etc? Not only is SF but illuminated and it is only $70!!
Hi Michael. To increase the FPS there is a small transfer port between the breech and the air chamber. You simply take the breech off the chamber and it is exposed. You then drill out that to a slightly larger diameter, can't remember the drill size off the top of my head. You can do that yourself or Mike will take care of that with the tune. It does add FPS. I did he same thing to my original Co2 right after I reviewed that one. I want to show the best possible performance. The scopes Mike has "REX" are fantastic for the price. I lean toward the side focus. The optics are really clear , especially for the price point! They are designed for the PCP's and Co2's they are not setup for the reverse recoil of the break barrels. The rifles feel really comfortable and I like the adjustable cheek rest. The barrels are shrouded. Overall one of my favorite rifles for the price. BTW these rifles are so easy to work on! I have stripped down a couple of these. In my experience these are the easiest PCP's to work on. Thanks for watching and appreciate you leaving comments!
Great video as expected. Excellent. 👍🇬🇧
Thank you!!👍😉
Excellent review . I own the .25 cal Sentry 702-3 and am equally impressed with its accuracy ,albeit not as powerful as the 705s that you have.
They are great guns and you can up the power by opening up the valve between the breech and the air cylinder. There is a little aluminum value and you simply drill that out a couple of sizes. Both the 702 and the 705 are the same. These guns are really easy to work on. :)
Just great Airgun detective, do you know what you just did? I just purchased Flashpup and a gauntlet both in .25, now I need to purchase the sentry in .22. Great reviews keep them coming👍
I know....such an addictive hobby...how do you think I built my inventory over the years 😉
@@AirgunDetectives the rex scope, does it track well?
@@juantego7614 yes....you will be blown away for the quality you get at such an inexpensive price. These however, are not for break barrels, Co2, pcp and rim fire.
@@AirgunDetectives done deal I'm getting one,thank you so much
@Hugo Ferreira yes I have a GAMO Urban. That is a fun little rifle and I will review it in the future. I do have to say the Deluxe has more power, better accuracy and more shots per fill. Also, you only need to fill the Deluxe to 3000 psi. Thank you for the comments and I really appreciate you watching! I hope you are safe and healthy :)
How do you recharge one of those rifles. Air pump or do you have to go somewhere
Wow great review, I own several of Mikes springes which I also had him tune and they are outstanding. I've looked at this pcp on his website and considered it but never found a complete review on the new style. With your great review I do believe I will get the new .22 cal. Perhaps in futher reviews maby you could get a db meter for sound measurement. Again, thanks for your hard work!
Thanks for watching! These are fairly quiet for a PCP. In the mid 80's dB under my patio. A bit less in the open.
Can it be regulated? If so, where could I find the regulator designed for this gun? These days, I only shoot reg'd guns and I install them myself. I like tinkering and tuning.
Excellent video thanks from UK
Hi David, thanks for watching and I appreciate you leaving a positive comment. Hope all is Healthy and Safe across the pond!
Noise level? Threaded barrel or slip on moderator? Barrel width/length? Did both of those have the basic tune which adds 100fps?
I drilled out the airport valve between the breech and the air tube. Took 10 minutes. But you can adjust the power, which is a bonus. The moderator is a slip on. I wanted to demonstrate the max velocity and FPE. These are backyard friendly. Medium 3 plus noise, but much quieter than the 702's.
@@AirgunDetectives Thank you. I suspected since they were shooting way above specs.
Good stuff. Was wondering if during the plinking part of you could shoot like empty food cans as there thicker than soda cans.
Jorge...yes I like to shoot a variety of things...Thanks for watching 👍
32ftlbs will shoot through any food can you can get. If your wondering does it have enough power to shoot through tin/steel food cans or only aluminum drink cans... A 20ftlb gun will shoot through food cans at a 100y meaning around 10ftlbs on target. A 30+ ftlbs gun will shoot through 55 gallon drums with hard alloy pellets no problem (not soft lead pellets as they just flatten but with a hard Alloy pellet like Predator GTOs a 30ftlb gun will shoot through a 55 gallon drum 25y no issues at all.)
Jorge...I have shot through an empty small propane can with the .22 cal version.
Hi is it any good with slugs?
Really want to buy one of these any day now. But are these the factory settings or Mikes special $75 tune that they charge extra for?
No Mike will open up the transfer port and do a few extra things at no additional cost. Just call him and tell him I said to take care of you!👍😉
@@AirgunDetectives Wow.. Thanks brother. I'm grateful for the reply too.
I know it's been a couple of years about these Xisco Sentry Deluxe air rifle. You wouldn't happen to know where I can get another field probe for my 25 caliber? And magazines? When I move from one house to another somehow they came up missing. I've already contacted Mike spoke to him briefly and, was quoted a price for the magazines but that was it never heard from him again. Well that's fine about the magazines, but would you happen to know what other fill probe will work? I can single load until I come across another magazine or two
Maurice...call Mike Melick again at Flying Dragon Air Rifles. I am sure he can take care of you. 515)924-3699
What you would rate the sound of this gun for use in a neighborhood?
It is not quiet but I would rate it in the higher medium range. I shoot it in my yard all day long. It is much quieter than the first generation 702 model. I would classify it as "Backyard Friendly!"
Want to see .25 review
I have one and it is coming this summer! They are really great rifles for the price...let see how the .25 compares 😉👍
Great vid. Just ordered from Mike. Is scope mount 11mm dovetail or picatinny?
These guns that you just reviewed are these guns been tuned up by Mike Malick or they stock and what power setting were you shooting them out on in this video
Mike does a very basic tune on all these he sells. That's included in his price. With that he opens up the transfer port. These were set at the higher end during the testing.
Wow beautiful airgun..
Is that where you live, or are you shooting at a Sandals resort in the Bahamas?
I will take that as a compliment! Thank you👍😉
Great Review 👍
Did you get the basic tune..??
On this one.....basic tune
Nice gun it acts as if it has a reg in it. At least it appears that way with that 5 shot group.
You just need to find the sweet spot on the power curve which I covered in the conclusion. I was impressed with the performance 👍
Great video! Good job!
Thank you for watching and I appreciate the comments 👍😉
Do they have Auto safeties on them
Yes, but Mike can change that to a manual safety at your request.
It's exactly the same as the Lee Enfield Sentry rifle over here in the UK
Another great video👌 can you please test the H&N Baracuda Magnum 4.5 mm 16.36 grain. I had the Evanix Blizzard that was tuned it could not shoot anything below 10g without going over the speed of sound. The H&N Baracuda hollow points was thee best for hunting. But I found that the Baracuda Magnums were something else crazy powerful and accurate. Next Mugnum Air Rifle please test the fps and accuracy on these. Thanks for the great content.
That is the issue with the .177 in PCP's and Magnums. Way too much velocity for the lighter projectiles. So you have to research the really heavy gr which is difficult in .177. Whereas .22 caliber has numerous options. Yes, I need to obtain some of those and we can test them out.👍😉
This is explosive info ! MANY THX John ! Just let us know how these hold over time ! I wonder - will Xisico keep up this quality and price for very long ? But who likes that extra camper's item, that
"bread basket" under the barrel ??? Or is this a pointer to a Bailey Bridge ? IOW: Need Engineer Corps skills for use ? No canteen, but could we fill part of the air tank with tea, coffee or beer also ? LOL !
That's another really good airgun review. Were the rifles tuned by Mike? I missed that if they were. Look forward to your air rifle videos. Thanks
Pretty much stock. I opened up the port tube, which takes a few minutes. These rifles are so easy to work on.. I had them on power level 5 to show the max performance.
Hey John. I'm also using a Rex first focal plane scope on a Gauntlet. I really like the reticle and what a great price from Mike.
@@airgunnersc9335 He has some great products at such a good price! :)
Sir, I am very interested in this gun but in .25. My question, does the .25 have all the new features the .22 has?
Hi Derrick...I just got in a New 705 .25 cal this week. I need to go through it and do some testing and I will put a review together in the next few weeks. The rife is identical to the .22, but I want to see the performance. I usually lean towards the .22 because of the variety of pellets. But I will let you know. Thanks for watching😉👍
How heavy is the gun?
Hi John That's good looking rifle ! I got some painting neededs done can you send that gail over to help ? LOL!
Ha!! I'll have to ask her...thanks for watching Donald😉
Looks nice how heavy is it ?
Specs say around 7 pounds.
Hi Joe and Jim, Ok....oops I missed that one. So I just put the .22 caliber on the scale with the Scope and the bipods. It was right at 10 lbs, so 7 lbs naked is probably right on!!
Thx.
Who made that pcp ?
Awesome review as always. I am thinking of getting my first pellet gun. I have been eyeing on gamo g - magnum igt mach 1 .22 cal here in South Africa, since we don't have swarm. However i saw this one(sentry) costing less than the g magnum and it is pcp (producing enough energy and velocity than gamo according to this test, thanks for that), but it will eventual costs bit more since i will have to buy the hand pump and scope. So what would you advice for a novice in terms of choice? or if it was you with your knowledge which gun were you going to take? . my aim is to hunt some big and strong birds such as guinea fowls and ducks in dams from distance. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
For your first rifle I would go with a breakbarrel. You don't need to worry about an air source or invest the money in such equipment. Let me know of some of the option you have for break barrel in SA and I would be happy to give you my opinion. Email me your choices at info@airgundetectives.com
@@AirgunDetectives Okay, thank you so much sir. i will email them to you.
Exactly what size is the fill tube? I'm a hand pumper so like to know how much pumping I have to do lol
Lol
Interesting pcp airgun. How's the build quality, it's very reasonably priced and appears to be very accurate? I'll give Mike a call this coming week.
Hi Ed, you wont be disappointed. Just make sure Mike tests it out ahead of time as usual. They are really easy to work on as well. Say Hi for me...
I kinda like the original sentry . In looks anyway although the newer one seems to perform better.
There is always room for both😉 Thanks for watching 👍
I noticed a bit of a CHEAT while you were shooting the last object at about 13-13. I noticed a piece of the wood backstop changed. Means, perhaps, you MISSED, had a mis-fire (?), or some other mishap. I won't look for any more just in case.
I love the original, I can't find it anywhere, can anyone help me find the original
Roy, send me an email and I might be able to help. info@airgundetectives.com
@@AirgunDetectives will do, thanks
Muito boa carabina.
What are your thoughts on this as a first pcp? I’m thinking of buying this and a good hand pump. Great review as usual! I should mention that I would be using this for Target’s and plinking from 10-20 yds
I have had awesome experience with the umarex guantlet .22. You can get it in .177, .22 and .25. For $300 you get a regulated PCP that can get 60+ shots with the .22. You can fill the tank with a hand pump on less than 200 strokes. I have mine sighted in at 50 yards and it's awesome. Best $300 I've spent on any airgun for sure!
That might be a lot of gun for 10-20 yards. You would never miss from that distance. PCP rifles are good from 20-50 yards and beyond with that type of power. If you are going to be basically shooting target practice and plinking, other than a break barrel, I would suggest you look at a Co2 rifle, Mike has some great ones, look at my review on the XISICO XS-60C th-cam.com/video/dx39BNshMAs/w-d-xo.html flyingdragonairrifles.org/index.php?route=product/product&path=59&product_id=55
On the other hand if you really want a PCP this would not be a bad choice.
Is this the 705?
Yes!!
How about testing it with heavier pellets like JSB Redesigned monsters $ some .22 slugs at 21-25 hrs? 50 yds! that would be nice!!!
Good video. Thanks for sharing the info.✌🇺🇲🇺🇲👍
Hi Richard, thanks for watching and I really appreciate the comments. :)
Great Review John , ,
For the money hard to beat! Like the .22 hit hard. Were the scopes different on each pcp? If so which one did you like? Thanks
Both the scope were great. They have an adjustable object with a side focus. Mike actually has a few models and they are all under $100. I showed two different models, one had a lighted reticle and a bubble level. The other had a filtered lens. Thanks for watching 😉👍
Thumbs up and thanks bro...
Great review i have heard of this brand before but not not much hype compared to the Gauntlet. Im tired of hearing how great it is.
Hi Joe, Thanks for watching!!
The constant drumbeat about FX has been overdone and getting old too.
@@edmusick7794 I totally agree with you.Just like the Gauntlet ( over done ) stick a fork in it. The only good thing is you don't need to take out a second mortgage to buy it!
@@joedokes8641 the FX mafia, their little cabal of 24/7 FX shill reviews, they put everything else down like this super nice 705 Sentry. I've watched most of them migrate from fun affordable airguns to only touting the latest and most expensive pcps. I can name the greatest offenders but I'm sure you and our fellow air gunners already know who they are. That snobbery really hurts the hobby and I hope other folks begin to express their disdain for this behavior.
