gamo air rifles

who all has a gamo......what do you have? been looking at them...........and some are pretty friggin pricey, but since i live in city limits.......prolly gonna get one for squirrels and rabbits here.

 

I had one that shot 1,000 fps. Pretty badass air rifle, took down squirrels all day long and very accurate. I don't believe it was over 100. Check Academy sports and outdoors

 

I have the Gamo Nitro Express and it's a great air rifle. It's a tight gun and is very powerful and accurate... The Gamo Big Cat is just as nice and is a bit cheaper also. Good luck with them squirrels.

 

I have a RWS, and a friend of mine has a beemen. When we were kids we absolutly destroyed vermin, both were very good and I'd bet the gamo's are the same way.

 

Silent Cat with a 3x32 scope. Awesome air rifle. 1200 fps with the pointed pellets.

 

the silent cat is what im leaning towards.

the bone collector air rifle they have is nice too.....but way up there in $!!

 

I'll be getting one this year for pigeons. 1100ft/sec minimum for my taste.

 

I ended up with a cheap'o one b/c the ruger 1000fps one i had was pretty loud. I've hit a few dove and knocked their feathers off but they didnt die. So Im thinking I need to upgrade and just forget about how loud it is

My in-law's Ruger takes quail down no problem. I might just get one of those. A refurbished one is fairly cheap; ~$70.

 

anyone shoot the gamo whisper?

 

Personally, I prefer my issued Remington model 700 TWS with a Leupold mark IV scope, firing Federal .308, 168 boat tails. It is great for anything with four or even two legs.

 

I have a Gamo Viper, modded into a super Viper. All the seals replaced, the lubes replaced, luther-Walther barrel, and a replacement spring. Oh and a two stage tuned trigger.

It is a tack driver.

I had all the work done by a guy called Rich in Michigan. He does fantastic work. and you will get a world class gun back, that shoots nothing like the stock Gamo.

Here is a link to his site.

The Viper with the full Q shroud pic is my rifle.

I take Squirrels regularly with little effort out the dining room window.
even if you don't mod it, the stock gamo is a great air rifle.

Let's keep the apples with the apples and the oranges with the oranges.

 

I had two gamos, A Big cat and a Hunter extreme, they are pretty good guns, I ended up trading the two of them for a savage .22 so no more pellet guns.

 

I picked up a Winchester pump up just because I'm in a suburban area and wanted lower velocity (less worry about how far it'd go if I missed). It does a good enough job on my pigeon problem even at only half power.
If you're going to go at 1000fps or less, why not use a .22 rifle with CB caps...? About the same noise, and likely as accurate as your high priced air rifles. When I used them on skunks in Colorado, I could watch the bullet.

 

i have a couple of .22's......but want a better pellet gun than the old pos ones from walmart that i used to have as a kid. plus....they are pretty fun to shoot.

 

x2. Even though I ended up buying a cheap'o one, Im still shopping around looking for a good break over barrel pellet gun.

where do you find refurbed ones?

 

Have you guys looked into the Refurbished Air guns? Most of them have a decent warranty. I've been wanting to get one just can't seem to decide which one. I seen Cabela's has acouple on sale that are new and some that are refurbs.
