Here is the breakdown. This rifle is capable of 2in.groups at 50yrds. 6in. at75yrds. and fairly consistant hits on gallon size milk jugs at 100yrds. Not bad. Now here is the bad. The trigger sucks. Almost a full 1/2in. of creep never knowing when it will break, terrible for accuracy. The scope will not stay zeroed due to the recoil of this powerfull air rifle. This drove me crazy untill I changed it out. The PBA ammo is to fast and not consistant over 50yrds. Also makes the report as loud as a 22.long rifle. Dont get me wrong this is an extremely well built rifle and I like it. It is extremely powerfull. The scope is junk and needs to be upgraded, and the trigger needs to go back to the drawing board. If anyone knows of an after market trigger or some type of fix please let me know.

Just the way springers are I suppose. I have only tried three different types of pellets so far, and of those the Crossman Destroyers do the best, with groups hovering around a quarter at sixty six feet (the legnth of my pellet gun range), and that is with the GRT-III trigger and Leepers scope. You have my curiosity up now (Wayne), I may have to try other types and weights of pellets. If you can shoot groups that tight with a stock Gamo, imagine how your Whisper might perform with a trigger replacement and a better quality scope.

It is the .177 with the factory spring, scope and trigger. I am considering the piston conversion as well as the after market trigger, but I wanted to see what it can do before I have any modifications done. I was not too excited about the accuracy initially, BUT then I began to earn. I tried 12 different pellets and learned that the springersmust be held differently than traditional firearms. After finding the pellet my gun likes the best (Beeman Kodiak Extra Heavy) and modifying my hold I can consistently shoot groups at 10, 20 and 30 yards that can be covered with a dime, nickel and quarter respectfully. I have not been hunting yet, but the heavy pellet produces quite a bit of kinetic energy. There is plenty to dispatch small game with a head shot. If I were hunting where 50 yard shots were available, I would opt for a .22 or .25, but I am pleased enough with this setup that I am not sure I'm going to spent the money on any mods.

I've owned several nice rifle scopes (Redfield-Weaver-Leupold-ect.) in the past, but for some odd reason I've never owned one with an adjustable objective lens. What a difference over my original Gamo scope! Now I miss my target with much more clairity! Owned a Sheridan .20 cal. as a kid. and killed to many innocent little critters to be pleased about it, but if those flippin' pine squirrels get into my roof insulation one more time... Enjoy your Stoeger D10. Brian Hi there Dick-P,

After about 50 shots, I really like it. I have a Winchester 4x32-AO scope on it and it will put 5 shots inside a 1" circle at 20 yds every time. Two tree rats down within the last week. I really wanted another 22 caliber, but nobody offered one at a decent price. I remember having a Benjamin 177 when I was a kid and it killed a lot of squirrels and doves. If this one is as good, I will be happy. I finally bought a Stoeger D10 in .177 caliber. After about 50 shots, I really like it.

Anything! Anyway, I installed my GRT-III trigger and the results are simply amazing! Well worth the $32.00 investment. Next subject: My Big Cats came with 3x9x40mm scopes and one peice bases, and although I have not experenced any problems with them so far, (possibly to short of range to tell), I have heard so many bad reports on their 4x32 scopes, (shifting POI's, broken crosshairs ect.) that I figured how much better can these scopes be. So I went ahead and ordered a Leaper's 3x9x32mm scope, because I like the idea of an adjustable objective lens, and I've heard that they're decent for the money. I do like Gamo's one piece bases, with their stop pins, so I will reuse them. Gee, what's next? Build a spring compressor....

I suck at spelling without spell check. (2). I'm the only person on the planet Earth who hasn't heard of the GRT-III trigger. (3). I am very inpatient when waiting to recieve triggers I've ordered. I'll let you all know what happens after I install it, but I suspect it will be a heck of a lot better than the garbage that my Gamo Big Cat came with originally. Thanks again PlastikHAYN.

Local naughty girls, and triggers!Life is good! actually,I'm getting used to my trigger pull, and wonder how long an aluminum sear would last anyway. Fine I'll admit it, I'm cheap. My main concern now is eventually running into Gunner's problem, that is, wear on the barrel pins ect. Wish Gamo would put an extended eye relif scope on their barrels so they would stay alligned permently. just think of it:A survival/tactical/assult pellet gun! kindda makes me want to blouse my combat boots and don my Ninja mask!

You should visit charliedatuna.com and check out their GRT-III triggers. There really sensitive and also adjustable. It's pretty much made for Gamo's and run about 30 bucks. Get your money up son!!!

Overall, I would rate their quality as a plinker to be very good for the $$ spent. My only complant would be their trigger pull (yeeech)! But because the thing has to release a spring that could double as a mono-shock on a dirt bike, I guess that I'll have to live with it. Yep, best air gun of several brands so far. I have more accurate, and powerful rifles, but I suspect my apt. dwelling neighbors would complain if I touched off my Remington .30-06 Springfield in my living room.

I should have known better! The first 25 pellets were dead on and hit like a rocket, but the next day, it wont even dent an empty can. I used to do gunsmithing as a hobby, so I am not ignorant of the inner workings of a gun. I cannot for the life of me see what is wrong, but I suspect the seals are blown already and that puts a bad taste in my mouth for Gamo products. I guess I will just toss this one off to a bad purchase decision. Now, I wish I had saved my money toward a REAL air rifle! I suppose you get what you pay for.

So shooting a in city limits can bring steep fines and or jail time. Also, don’t forget that some states classify a .22 cal airgun as a firearm.

I have had the same problem as Gunner. The accuracy of this gun is terrible. I didn't expect too much with pellets considering the unrifled barrel, but it is worse than I expected, even with a scope. It will bunch shots within a 2" circle at 50 ft., but I never know where the 2" circle will be. Every time I use it, it is different. It may be low/right or high/left. Sometimes, it changes during the same shooting session. Shot shells are not much better. I have had squirrels dead-to-rights at 25 ft and missed!!! I'm not that bad. Now, after about 150 shots, the gun seems to have lost a lot of power. I don't know what is causing that, but overall, this has not been my best gun purchase.

I have a whisper with the gas spring and it is by far one of the best break barrell pellet rifle I've owned. Actually the only thing I like about the SOCOM version is the stock/raised cheekpeice. I really hope they end up selling the stock seperatly. Gamousa.com would be the place to look for anyone interested in getting a different stock for your gamo rifle depending on the type of rifle. Aloha. The only way I would get this gun us if they sell it with the gas srping conversion.
