The accuracy of the scope it's good and the rifle is so powerful I like it

The gun has a really nice stock and is very light weight for those long hunts. Easy to cock and decently quiet for the backyard.

The trigger is my main gripe. Mine does not have the SAT trigger. And lastly the open sights need to be removed in order to see through the scope.

Great beginner rifle for youth and squrrilers out there.

Great trigger pull Vert accurate with right pellets

A little heavy if you are small game hunting but good if you are shooting from a rest. Scope is OK but a upgrade would be nice.

For the price this is a very accurate air rifle with the right pellets

It's accurate, it's quite after break in, and just good dam gun

Nothing

Use heavy pellets work great with the damping technology

Excellent value for the price Light weight and accurate fun to shoot

Scope

Research new scope specific for air rifles and attchments

How powerful and accurate this gun is!

Wished it could be multiple shots instead of single shot

the weight, the scope, the price. shoots well, scope is pretty easy to dial in. Shreds spray paint cans. accuracy is pretty awesome. Like with my whisper fusion i can put two out of three shots in the same exact spot at 20 yards. Gun is relatively quiet. I live in a major city and our houses are pretty dang close to one another. Most ammo is pretty quiet.

make sure you tighten all your screws and continue to check them periodically, they will come loose. its a T25 torex bit on this rifle the ones on the stock near the barrel break especially. I was ready to send this gun back because i thought it was a piece of crap but it was just 2 loose screws. this one is a keeper.

really fun rifle. it is great for the price in my opinion but if you are trying to only own one Id spend a few extra bucks and get the Gamo Fusion Whisper IGT. Its and all around nicer gun for not much more money. this gun has been shooting well with B&N Silver points, super magnum, and barracuda hunter, Gamo red fire, crosman piranha. started with the magnum and silver points but switched to red fire and barracuda hunters as well as the piranha by crosman at the moment. NOTE; i live in a major city and my yard is about 30ft wide. All ammo is pretty quiet EXCEPT GAMO RAPTOR. I shot it at night and my neighbors lights came on cause it sounded like a 9mm glock. where i live gun shots are pretty regular so it was alarming to them it sounded so close. No raptors for me. THEY SOUND FREAKING AWESOME. they were not accurate in this rifle from my experience. I only own 2 Gamo rifles but my experience for both has been awesome and I don't regret choosing Gamo over other brands.

Fast delivery. Very nice gun for the price.

Nothing.

New air gunners should know that the name silent cat can be miss-leading and it does make some noise when fired.

Solid, well built. Easy to load.

It is not quiet. Spring action is not as smooth as I would like.

Works well

Not silent

Great price

Nice balance, easy to load, safety is in a good place. Cool look...

Need more time to properly evaluate.

Good fps,

For the price this is a hard gun to beat. The fiber optic sights are excellent even in low light conditions. Stock trigger pull is OK but I went ahead and replaced the stock trigger with CharlieDaTuna's amazing GRT 4G Trigger which breaks at 1.25 pounds & accuracy is amazing. I replaced the stock scope with a Redfield 4X. This gun is quietest with heavier pellets & found that JSP 10.3g Heavies work the best, giving .5" groups at 30 yards. This chronos @ 815fps = 14.70 ft pounds of muzzle energy. I have taken several coyotes including 1 at 80 yards with no problem. This is 1 of my favorite airguns next to my FX Wildcat .25 which cost about $1400. For the $200 price range the Gamo is hard to beat.

As mentioned scope, trigger. If you want the accuracy this rifle is capable of go ahead and get a decent scope & the GRT 4G is a game changer, it's like a completely different rifle.

Lighter pellets are going to be louder because they break the sound barrier. Remember the heavier the pellet, the quieter it will be.

Styling, It's a good looking weapon. My hand is a bit big for the pistol grip, but I still get a comfortable grip without using it.

The scope is right on at the price point, but I changed to a 3x9 because the gun exceeds the range of a 4X scope. It's probably accurate beyond 9X, but I didn't want to but too much money into an air gun scope. Put the 4X on a Crosman M4 repeater I have and it works great.

After my home was robbed and my guns stolen, I decided to re-enter shooting with an air rifle. I still remember, shooting and hunting with a Crosman 760 as a kid in the late 1960's. The silent cat seemed like a reasonable first purchase. It's been an extremely pleasant experience. Good shooting at a very economical cost. I have been shooting at 30 yds. but I just shot 10 rounds at 50 yds. and managed to put 9 shots in a 2-1/2" circle. My brother is sending me a Benjamin Trail NP. I'm anxious to see how these gas piston rifles shoot.

The scope, which is included, is worthless. I replaced the scope with a Hammers 3x9 AO.

The rifle is difficult to shoot. The double recoil, from the spring piston, is unforgiving. I use the "artillery hold" and I don't place my thumb in the pistol grip. I grasp the stock of the rifle as if there wasn't a pistol grip aperture. I'm having my best success with HN field target trophy pellets at 8.64 grs. At 30 yds. my best 5 shot grouping is just under 1". The rifle has potential. It's a big learning curve to shoot these spring piston rifles.

The stock and thumb hole are great. Also very quiet and balanced well. Nice scope.

The laser pointer is pretty worthless along with the flashlight. Also would be nice if you could use the iron sites along with the scope. This way you set them for different yardage.

Excelentt !! air rifle !!

I bought this gun five years ago, and since then have put over 10,000 pellets through it. At first I never thought that it would be this quiet, accurate, and consistent in it's fps. The fiber optic sights on this gun are very useful and accurate especially if you don't like the scope. Considering that it came with a crappy scope, I never realized the potential greatness of this gun; so instead I put on a Simmons 3-9x32 22 mag scope that my friend gave me. After that I started getting dime-sized groups at 12 yards ( the distance I shoot in my basement) with some RWS and H&N pellets. Soon after that I bought a chronograph and realized the consistency of every shot, each one with only a 0-5 fps difference between shots. This consistency is the biggest part of accuracy and will effect long shots the most. I've killed many animals with this gun including Eurasian Collard Doves, rabbits, and squirrels. Overall this airgun has the best quality for the price.

The only thing I would change would be the scope. Unfortunately, the scopes Gamo sends with it's great guns aren't that durable for the vibration that the gun expels. The recoil is opposite from a gun that shoots projectiles from a cartridge, this is because the spring piston is reacting forward and sends the gun forward then backward. Therefore the recoil is twice the amount of a regular gun, and the scope it comes with can't handle that, so they break real easily.

This airgun will perform great if it's put in the right hands. If somebody that has never shot an airgun before buys this, and complains that their accuracy is bad, their may be a user-error. Make sure that you know how to operate an airgun before you buy one, so you can expect the durability, accuracy, and consistency it is capable of.

what you get for the price of this gun is great. Backyard friendly and accurage.

The scope can be dropped completely and make it 10 bucks cheaper

I put a Burris scope on it to really test its accuracy and was able to hit nickle size groups at 20 yards. Found that RWS superdomes and JSB pellets work extremely well with this riffle.

light, comfortable, like the trigger

needs auto safe to engage when cocked

not as quiet as advertized

Light will not scratch or dent in the woods. Good for messing around in the yard.

Scope should not come with it.

Scope was only good out to about 15 yards after that is shot all over the place. I can shoot with open sights out to 35 yards. Not as good as my RWS Diana's but a good back yard beater.
