Things I liked:easier draw, velocity increase is noticeable Things I would have changed:maybe a different color What others should know:tried these once about ten years ago, and since then i've replaced the factory bands with these on both of my slingshots. i won't even use the factory bands anymore. these are kinda like

put a drop of rubbing alcohol on the tip of the vinyl thing to get the band to slide on easier

Things I liked:accurate, accurate, ACCURATE! stock feels awesome when shouldered, almost has a tactical feel to it. everything else i said in my previous review Things I would have changed:nothing. maybe a nickel plated version or a wooden stock. or a model without sights What others should know:got that barrel problem

got my scope put on and dialed in, and this thing is a real laser gun. had a repair dot for a shoot-n-c target i was using as a bull, about 25-30 yards out and all 6 pellets fired were inside, completely covered by a quarter. probably capable of better accuracy cause though my poi didn't leave the bull, i was all over it. shot a bird that had to have been about 50 yards away and the pellet entered right where i was aiming. now that this gun is at full potential i'll never get rid of it.
if you are having trouble eliminating barrel wobble there are plenty of ways to fix it if you do some searching on the net, don't let that stop you from getting this gun, its a BEAST!!!

Things I liked:looks like a slick gun. pretty light, cocking effort can't be near 38 pounds. barrel shroud is plastic which means no worry about rust on that part of the gun. plus the fluted barrel looks cool Things I would have changed:put some sort of rubbery material on the grip and forearm, the synthetic stock could slip out of

Read MoreThings I liked:looks like a slick gun. pretty light, cocking effort can't be near 38 pounds. barrel shroud is plastic which means no worry about rust on that part of the gun. plus the fluted barrel looks cool Things I would have changed:put some sort of rubbery material on the grip and forearm, the synthetic stock could slip out of your hands in wet conditions. thats about it, the scope is not as bad as everyone says, and the trigger will definitely get the job done for now. maybe for as long as i own it What others should know:the remington genesis is the only other high powered airgun i've owned besides this, and while the genesis feels like a more solid gun, this easily performs just as well if not better. right out of the box after cleaning some of that black stuff out of the barrel it was shooting tight groups while sighting the scope. this gun is a bit touchy about how you hold it, but hold it the same each time and it will never let you down. i've had mine for about 4 days now and its already becoming attached to my shoulder. people who complain about the scope must have missed the instructions on how to focus the eyepiece cause mine is pretty much crystal clear. this gun is a steal for the money, and since it likes the gamo red fires so much it might be a designated hunter, leaving plinking for the other horse in the stable.

Things I liked:unique stock, adjustable trigger, it's not really that loud, adjustable cheek plate, fiber optic sights, awesome scope, accurate, not terribly hold sensitive, rubber grips, recoil is a bit on the light side Things I would have changed:i've had mine for about 3 years now so i don't know if they changed anything but my

Read MoreThings I liked:unique stock, adjustable trigger, it's not really that loud, adjustable cheek plate, fiber optic sights, awesome scope, accurate, not terribly hold sensitive, rubber grips, recoil is a bit on the light side Things I would have changed:i've had mine for about 3 years now so i don't know if they changed anything but my barrel doesn't lock tight enough to accurately use the scope, and even after tightening the screw and using loctite it still won't. that's the only thing i don't like, but with the sights dialed in i can hit crows at about 30 yards What others should know:this is great for in town shooting. i finally had someone else shoot it so i could stand by and see how loud it is and i can't believe i was ever wary about using it in town! mine likes cphp's and cfh's, but gamo rockets not so much. i've heard that using a bench rest with springers doesn't provide the best accuracy, but i tried the other day and got an 8 shot 1" group from about 10 yards. might have been better though because i was shooting quickly so the barrel might have heated up. it doesn't kick too hard either, if anything the barrel will just pull which ever way but its pretty minimal. i was going to sell this for money to get a gamo but its going to be hard to let go of it
Things I liked:not much Things I would have changed:the attention paid to the tips of these What others should know:these are the most inconsistent pellets i've ever seen. maybe i just got a bad batch, but the tips on some have too much of a point, meaning extra lead at the tip that usually isn't centered, some are almost

Read MoreThings I liked:not much Things I would have changed:the attention paid to the tips of these What others should know:these are the most inconsistent pellets i've ever seen. maybe i just got a bad batch, but the tips on some have too much of a point, meaning extra lead at the tip that usually isn't centered, some are almost flat on the tips, and some almost look like they were meant to be a hollow point. figured my gun just didn't like them with the patterns it was making cause they fit pretty tight in the breech, but looking closer showed that they all pretty much look different. gamo needs to get rid of those ridges on their skirts and undersides of the head, it makes their pellets look really cheap
Things I liked:none of the ones i got have a mold line on the sides, cheaper than polymags, insanely accurate out of my big cat Things I would have changed:might as well go to 200 in a tin.

What others should know:if you're considering polymags you should try these first since they are both almost exactly alike. just different body shapes and different tip designs. if you do a search for, "expanding pellet gamo red fire" you can find a nice review of their expansion capabilities. they perform just the same as polymags from the looks of things so these are probably going to be my hunting pellet from now on
Things I liked:very consistent, even though there is no foam in the bottom of the tin i only found one so far with a skirt deformity, and it was very minor. very accurate in the remington genesis. started sorting them for weight and stopped about halfway through since all of them were .48-.49 grams and often teetered back and forth between making

Read MoreThings I liked:very consistent, even though there is no foam in the bottom of the tin i only found one so far with a skirt deformity, and it was very minor. very accurate in the remington genesis. started sorting them for weight and stopped about halfway through since all of them were .48-.49 grams and often teetered back and forth between making them actually about 7.57 grains or so as compared to the old ones being about 8 grains Things I would have changed:nothing really. the graphite on them that makes your fingers black is annoying but it has no negative effects What others should know:decided to pick up a tin while i was walking past the airgun aisle to compare them to the old ones i have, and these ones have a deeper hole in the back. since i fixed my remington genesis and can now mount a scope accurately i used these to sight in my scope. while i didn't use a target to get a grouping, the patch of dirt i am shooting at in the back yard about 30 yards out shows that all shots hit directly in the crosshairs while resting the gun on a pillow on a windowsill. can't wait to get out and start poppin some tree-thugs and garden gangsters with these bad mamma-jammas
Things I liked:almost no skirt deformities, not much size variance at all, great accuracy at a distance. i shot a votive candle from about 15 yards away open sights standing position and hit it every time Things I would have changed:bulk packages What others should know:i got these back when they were still in a copperhead

Things I liked:almost all of them are the exact same size, feels the same one after the other loading them into the breech. no loose ones Things I would have changed:maybe a lighter version, these ones are just a bit too heavy for my preference. lead also does not expand when shot into anything, the ones i've been able to recover
