Got a x20 today, seems like a real nice gun, (also have a Gamo Big CAt).
A lot heavier then the Gamo, but the feel is very nice. Im also an avid shooter of large bore rifles along with my .223 collection.
The x20 with scope mounted would not come in on the target. So I tried to adjust the scope, up/down worked great. Left/right no change, also the power ring 3-9 will not turn with the rubber ring on the scope, have to hold the power ring and turn with it. (hold very tight, hard to turn)
Only have about 50 rounds thru the gun, but the open sights shoot really well. May just discard the scope.
Looks like a nice scope, don’t know if stoeger will make it good or not, I will try to send it back.
I think the x20 is probable as strong as my Big Cat, both rated the same FPS. overall real pleased with both of my rifles, would say both are a good buy and would buy both again .. shooting crossman hunter 7.9 gr spire nose pellets..

After spending most of a weekend researching air rifles online, I mentioned to my boss Monday morning that I was looking for one. He said he needed one too for pests around his barn. He told me to go to Sports World in Tulsa and if they had one I liked get it for him. They had a pretty good selection and I brought back a Stoeger X20. Sports World checked it for loose screws so all I did was sight in the scope and started shooting. I didn’t even clean the bore (maybe I should have). I sighted the scope in at 60 feet at a water bottle cap. Now we had been somewhat frustrated trying to hit birds with a 10 pump BB gun.
I shot about 200 rounds with this gun and easily and cosistantly killed birds at 110 ft. That barn is 100′ X 150′. Pitched roof with no sides. It is filled with pipe pens inside and arount the perimiter. I’m not an expert shot, but there was always a fence rail close by to rest against. I thought the Stroeger variable 40mm scope was fantastic. I quickly lost count of kills. Plus I got some good points with the Boss (an avid Deer and Elk hunter),as he was really impressed with the X20. I shot both silver pointed, and Crow magnum pellets and couldn’t tell much difference in accuracy. Probably one will eventually win out over the other after we get used to shooting more. Very pleased with this gun and scope.

hi guys sorry to be THE ONE , but i bought an x10 , at 27 yards i could cover a group with 10 cents . 1 penny per shot , I had it on a bench, between sand bags, I did every thing but could not get a group, less the 3.5 inches . I liked the gun ,but it would not group.

I just bought one today, from doves in princeton and mine says made in china on the barrel. It was the x10 I know that there is not a difference in what model you buy (x10, x20,x50) as to where it is manufactured…

Thanks Guys,

I was needing some information on a good pellet gun, I was looking at the Gamo an saw the Stoeger x10. The x10 is quite a bit cheaper so I will probably go with that.

I think the stoeger shoots harder than the average 1000 feet per second gun. Mine will shoot through the 1X4 treated lumber which is 3/4 by 2-3/4 after dressing and treating.
It’s the same lumber used on a porch. or decking.
it goes through a empty soda can and don’t even move it.
I don’t have a chronograph but this thing is powerful. What I’d like to know is whats the difference in the X-20 and the X-10, accept the scope?

Sorry folks I have to add this .
No offence to the China Folks, but my Gun says Italian made, like my Gamo.
Regardless of who made it , they sure made a toy for us old men. I have a collection of powder burners in black powder and cartrige, but the pellet guns are the way to go for rabits squirells and groundhogs, or any other varmint that bothers your hen house or garden. And to top it off us old men like to show off, so we now have our toys to do that with lolol.I don’t have any habits but if I’m not carefull, I’m going to get hooked on this gun LOLOL.

I just bought an X20 today at Doves Guns in Princeton Wv. It took about 10 minutes to prep the barell and use cleaning rags to get the preservitives out,, and about 10 minutes to zero it.
Off of my bench at 20 yards using hollowpoint pellets i shot 20 rounds and could cover every one of them with a penny.
Crossman pellets is what I use in the tin can 500 to a can. I never tried the PBA pellets because these does more than you’ll ever need with a .77 pellet rifle. The scope was absolutly the best airgun scope Ive ever used. Ony thing I had to do was ajjust the trigger a little to match the way I shoot..
This rifle needed to have been made in a 20 or 22 or 25 caliber because the power plantis real powerfull, and it is suprisingly easy to breake over and load.
I think this Gun is under priced according to what Ive seenon other web sites. This “like my gama” is one heck of a gun. a varmint don’t stand a chance, it will shoot through thick wall 3″ PVC pipe like a hot knif through butter.
Only problem I see is I can’t put it down,, I need to get to bed so tomarrow will come fast and I can go out side and do it again,,..lol good luck and happy shooting…
