I bought an XT22 youth model for my grandson four years ago. I have been impressed with it's accuracy. Using an inexpensive 4X scope it will consistently hold a five shot group under a dime at 25 yards. It impressed me enough that I bought a laminated stock XT22 for myself a couple of weeks ago. I haven't had a chance to take it to the range so I can't attest to it's performance just yet.
