Things I liked:This rifle is accurate and dependable providing that you know how to take care of it. I can hit bottle-caps at 50 yards with this rifle. The Dovetail grove in this rifle has a locking hole in the back for you to lock your scope mount into, so the recoil of the rifle won't cause your scope to slide. & on top of everything, this

The Dovetail grove in this rifle has a locking hole in the back for you to lock your scope mount into, so the recoil of the rifle won't cause your scope to slide. & on top of everything, this rifle is rather light weight, making it easy to carry for intermediate periods of time. Things I would have changed:1 - The trigger is a stinker that realy takes practice to master
2 - The scope, It is ... ok, but considering the tactical look, It should have a Midot scope like the Viper, although I do like the mount! What others should know:Shooting The Shadow Sport 101:
1. Don't dryfire your rifle (The spring will slam the piston too hard into the cylinder head)
2. Don't use pellets weighing lighter than 7 grain (The lack or resistance found in light pellets causes simmilar damage to that of Dryfiring)
3. Don't rest the barrel on anything when shooting (the accuracy attributed to break-barrel rifles relies on FREE FLOATING the barrel)
4. This is a hold sensitive rifle, try to keep your hands in the same place every time you take a shot (This keeps the vibration in the action more uniform so you can attain more consistant shots)
5. Before shooting this rifle for the first time, know that you should clean tha anti rust goop out of the barrel. I use a .17 cal bore-snake I bought at a gun store.
6. When I bought my Sport, halfway through my first can of pellets, the breach seal tore. Simply order a 4 pack of them from Gamo's website, Pop the old one out w/ tweezers & pop a new one in (Much cheaper than shipping your gun back here to Pyramyd)
Keep these things in mind if & when you get your Sport (or any other Gamo for that matter) & you should be fine :)
