This is one powerful weapon not for a child. I love the feel on this rifle and the power makes for accurate shots past 75 yards.

nothing

no

Great overall rifle. It took awhile to find the ammo that it likes but once you do it shoots like a breeze.

Scope is a little cheap but what else do you expect with a combo.

Other than not to shoot alloy pellets next to a wall with out hearing protection nothing.

Powerful gun, easy to cock, great trigger. Clean barrel before shooting to help with accuracy. Still need to figure out the proper pellet. Seems to do ok with Crosman hollow points, but a heavier pellet I think will perform better. This gun is a very powerful hunting rifle. It's not a neighborhood pinker. 50 shots destroyed my Gamo metal shot box.

After about 50 shots, it's a shoulder pounder. Surprised at the recoil, which is making my shots less accurate. Military hold is a good shouldering for this gun. Loud gun. I like to see it be more quiet. A Crosman Pneumatic is a lot quieter.

Have fun and shoot safe. Not for kids, this is an adult gun.

Great gun shoots smooth great for squrriel coons and rabbits

The scope is bad i bougt me a new scope looks great

I prefer using gamo red flame pellets for great accuracy and clean headshots

The balance of the gun and feel of the stock, the new trigger is way better then the old style Gamo triggers!

The 11mm dovetail mount on a nitro piston rifle is the stupidest thing ever.

You should know that this rifle looks and feels amazing but will give you nothing but frustration! You want it to work so bad but the I had a 4 bolt 1 pc mount on this rail with a 5th bolt (vertical pin going into receiver) and after 40 shots I had to pull the scope and mount off and there was slippage, my mounts vertical stop pin threads were damaged when it slipped back, the pin is bent a few more shots it would have sheered off, my rifles receiver has physical damage from the pin and force of the guns push back the hole is out of round. Now I'm very upset I have damage to a new mount and also to my rifle, I want all buyers of nitro piston rifles to know that when it comes to the power of these rifles you can't stop scope creep without a solid weaver rail. I have a Gamo CFX Spring and once I bought a solid 1 pc mount there was no slippage with 10 years of shooting it, but when you put a nitro piston together will 11mm rails you are asking for frustration and disappointment.

The light weight was nice. Most accurate pellets I found to be were the JSB exact Diablo domed pellets. 8.44 grains.

WAY TO MUCH KICK. Dont try to put any kind of scope on this air rifle. It wont stay put, after 5-6 shots the scope and front ring creeped back over a centimeter.. And that was Not the Gamo scope that comes with. It was a Hawke sport pro hd 3x9x40AO. With UTG hi-profile mounts. Also, the 10 for 10 is almost worthless cause they still sent a lemon rifle in my opinon. With the Crony test, they used beeman lazer 7.1 grain pellets and the highest it shot was 958 fps. the lowest it shot was 893. And thats supposedly with the Dieseling effect for the first few shots til the oil burns off. So its way under there claim of 1300 with alloy and im guessing between 1100-1000 with lead.

I would shop more and find something better, much better. I may have just got a lemon after the 10 for 10 but I dont wanna deal with another. Id rather just get my money back and search around more. Also the free Stoeger cleaning rope, is junk. The brass weight youre supposed to drop down the barrel does not fit even though its 4.5mm .177 cal. still too big. Even if its free its still worthless. Great customer service. I cant say that enough, it was so simple to call and get the rma number to return, dont let your money go to waste. Just get your money back and look for something better.

I like the weight. I like the look and how it feel in my hands.

The scope has got to go. The kick this not so quiet rifle is more than the scope was designed to handle. I now use it on a CO2 pistol.

Not quiet at all. But does not sound like a firearm. It sounds more like a strike on a board with a hammer. Get a scope designed for high power pellet guns.

I really like the rifle. I purchased two at the same time and the Gamo scopes were junk on both. Put nearly $200. more dollars in quality scopes and both shoot great now. The more rounds I we put through them the more accurate they are becoming.

Include a better scope!

Great accuracy. It will accept most .177 pellets. The break is very smooth and not very hard. The Bull Whisper works really well. I like the feel of the Nitro Piston

The scope. Either bump it up to 40mm, or make it 3-9x32. That's about it.

This airgun deserves a good scope. I'm using a Swiss Arms 4x40, and it works pretty well.

Reasonably quiet for the power level. Decent accuracy so far with my minimal testing. Getting overlapping cloverleaf groups at 10 meters. Cocking cycle is smooth and not terribly heavy.

Trigger is so-so. Not the worst sporting trigger I've ever shot, but it's no Rekord for sure. Trigger is one long pull with minimal stacking and no really defined "break", you just keep pulling until it goes off. Man, is there a lot of plastic on this thing. I knew that going in, but we're getting to the price point where I'd like to see at least a steel shroud on the barrel rather than the plastic.

Mine came with so much lean to the left that I ran out of horizontal adjustment in the scope to compensate. I swapped out the scope with a Hawke scope and an adjustable base. After getting on target, it seems to shoot fine.

This gun is amazing

Better factory mounts

The first couple of shots are very loud

the trigger is great the overall look is pretty dang tuff,its lite & its strong enuff

its 975fps with pba pellets mine cronoed 640fps with 18.2 crowmags wich is almost 20lbs of energy

its not as stong as i wanted but it shoots straight & still does work

Very smooth cocking, shooting, and very nice but pad! I was able to actually get .135 inches center to center. Unfortunately it's a bit hold sensitive, but even with the extreme spread of accuracy it still was within an inch at 30 yards. Hats off to you Gamo!

I would definitely change the scope as usual. If I was working for Gamo I'd keep the AO scope and maybe convertit to a mildot scope so people can use itforhunting right out of the box.

I was using a .177 model and was using crosman premier hollow points for ammo. Also, very proud of Gamo for their upgrades, especially on the trigger!

Light weight, easy to cock. Gas piston works beautifully. This thing hits hard and the accuracy is very good (slthough the shooter could use some work). I like the both the Beeman Kodiak Match 10.65 grains and the H&N Baracuda Match at also at 10.65 grains. I am very satisfied.

I did not like the scope at all. I replaced with a BSA 3-12X44 whiscvh is excellent.

Just a general note. My first rifle of this model had a barrel that was not aligned with the stock - like bent. It shot 10" to the right. It was less than 30 days old and Pyramyd gave me a return shipping label and shipped out the replacement rifle immediately. So folks, always keep all the original packing material until you know the rifle is shooting well. Kudos to Pyramyd.

Light weight, accurate, powerful, reasonable price.

Better scope. One piece scope mount. Nicer way to attach a sling would be great, and if it's going to be sold as a quiet rifle make it quiet. Mines loader than my older Gamo shadow 1000, and my Hunter 220.

If you need a quiet airgun, this may not be for you. As I said, it's louder than my older gamo rifles, and my Benjamin trail np. If noise isn't a problem you'll like this one. Accuracy has been very good with every pellet I've tried so far, gamo hunters, magnums, master points, crosman premiers, Benjamin domed, and pointed pellets. The gamo magnums, and master points hit a little to the left of point of aim but still hold niece groups. I've got about 600 rounds through this rifle and so far all groups at 20 yard can be covered with a quarter, with the exception of the occasional flier. Sometimes I can even get dime sized groups. All and all this is a very good rifle. But don't buy thinking its quiet.

Light wt., easy to cock.accurate,powerfull [penetrates 50 gal. drum]

Package with a better scope ,weaver mount,metal trigger smoother with lighter weight

trigger is better than most in its price range

like most other reviews, light weight, smooth cocking, and plenty of power.

the scope.changed to a 3-9x40 leapers, now getting quarter size groupings at 30yds.

been shooting predator polymags, 8grs, seem to work very nice. they fit the barrel perfectly, and take down tree rats with one well placed shot.

New to airguns, but I am impressed so far with the value of this purchase for the $$. The fit & finish are good, & it's fairly easy to cock. I purchased the .22 caliber version, & the power & penetration are impressive!

Nothing. The included scope seems acceptable to me, but then, I have never used an expensive scope.

This gun was about $180 on sale & well worth the money. As always, Pyramid Air appears to be the premier internet source for airgun purchases.

I ordered after Thanksgiving, and Pyramyd Air delivered weeks before Christmas. I can only compare to a Crosman multi-pump, so ... but I love this pellet rifle. The weight is like a real rifle. Very accurate, knocking over empty 12 gauge shotgun shells with ease at 25 yds. Powerful & accurate!

For the money, I can't think of anything that needs to be changed. I'd have paid more for a better scope. The scope that came on it would not stayed dialed in. Would adjust windage to left, and it would walk back to the right after each shot until off by 2 inches again. Wrote and told Gamo via email, and they sent a new scope. Second scope works fine!

I gave it a 4 star on accuracy because of the first scope. The rifle is well made and has a great feel. Will break the sound barrier (1129 fps & sounds almost like a 22) with the PBA pellets. But these lighter pellets lack distance. The Crosman "Super Match" pellets (flat tip) are the most accurate I've tried so far. Good job Gamo!

I really like this gun.Much better than my older Gamo Whisper springer.I even like the scope,however it will be my first upgrade.

PBA ammo sucks.Will not even fit the barrel properly,and is plain just un-accurate.

I sighted in with Predator pellets .Was only 3 shots to get her dialed in.Will try Crossmen Primier next.
