The pistol grip stock and adjustable cheek piece create a great hold and cheek weld for sighting. The adjustable rear sights on this one do not lose the setting like some of the previous similar models. It is quiet enough that my neighbors in town don't run to the door when I shoot it.

Not really anything. This rifle is a great improvement over previous models. Offering a larger objective tactical scope as an option to the one included would be an improvement even with higher cost. A great rifle for the money!

I have been buying from Pyramid Air for sometime now. I always get great service. This is the second of this rifle for me. PA gave me great customer service on the phone call for an RMA. The only reason this one does not get a 5 is because the first one started out quiet and got as loud as a .22 after 10 shots. I shipped the bad one back on a Thursday. I got my new one the next Thursday. Great turn around PA. I just put 30+ rounds through it today(Thursday/Yes; same day)and it works great(nice and quiet); of course there is some mechanical noise. I was even able to cut of blades of grass with it at 10 yards with open sights. I can't wait until I can get to the range and push this one to distance.

Stock, especially the grip. Smooth cocking effort. Although it was .22 cal, the gun was quiet.

I was reluctant to try Gamo but the features suited my needs as far as going for a gas piston rifle. I would not have attempted to give Gamo a try were it not for this companies outstanding return policy AND discounts to include free (and fast) shipping. I found this gun to be hold sensitive. At 10 yards, I achieved 1" groups which is "ok" by my standards at that distance. Not impressed with the trigger.

Weight of the rifle, Stock design

Eliminate the all-but-worthless scope (will not focus correctly, and/or will not maintain focus when changing magnification levels). If the rifle can be sold without the scope, it would be a better bargain. Maybe improve the cocking mechanical design to decrease the cocking effort.

I have not tested this rifle extensively, but, in my opinion, this rifle will not be a "tack driver"

This gun very quite! It makes less noise than my Bone Collector and I thought it was pretty good.Mine is in .22 cal.It's got a good 400 pellets down it now with no problems.So far I only shoot 30 yds with cheap Crosman hp pellets and except for a few flyers I'm pretty happy.Most scopes that come with combo's are crap and I planned on getting a better one when I ordered this.This scope holds zero fine.IF...it ever lets me down I'll put a good CP on it.The power is great blowing through tin cans with ease at 30 yds.I like it having open sights also.I look forward to testing it at 40-50 yds just for fun.The trigger works great not hard to pull.

Make the scope a mil dot. The trigger works great but looks cheap.Needs a steel trigger.

If you want to pop a pest at night with out much noise this is the gun!

This is my first gas piston air rifle and for the money it is a great choice. I looked at the Ben Trail hard but reviews on the small stock grip and finding the right hold made me come back to the Whisper Fusion. It has shot well and the stock mounts quick and natural. Trigger seems good but need more time shooting to get feel of it. Gun has good weight and feels solid.

Scope is not great but will do till it lets me down. Don't really like/need open sights. Not sure about adjustable comb, but as high as the scope mounts because of the open sights it works.

Great gas gun for the money. Good power and accuracy. Mine likes Crossman Premier hollow point.22 pellets. Really like the recoil of gas over spring. For those trying to settle on a gas gun, this one should be considered

Almost perfect. A very accurate and easy to shoot at around 50 yards

A little of cocking of the gun

A very nice buy for the prise

got this air rifle 2 weeks ago from pyramid air have about 500 rounds through it. The scope is still on and clear. Very accurate and quiet. If you are looking for a break barrel air gun this is one of the best.

nothing

try it you will love it.

This is rifle is so beautiful and very accurate. I can shoot 1/2 inch group size at 40 yards using Gamo TS-10 .177 cal 10.5gr pellet. Mine likes to be gripped tightly (max contact with my palm) and pulled toward the shoulder. This allows my body to absorb all the vibration produced by the IGT piston (very important when shooting long range past 30 yards). Then I hold lightly at the forestock. I use aiming technique to get good result at long range, since I can never hold the rifle aimed at target for more than a second. I have shoot about 2000 rounds through it and this rifle still feels as good as new.

Wish Gamo did not include the scope. I have to upgrade it with a Leapers 4-16x55 AO IR using BKL dovetail to picatinny rail with loctite (between rail and dovetail) to prevent it from sliding and to preventing any oil from get into it.

I use the lowest possible scope ring to make the center-of-gravity low, otherwise this rifle will jump vertically every shot. Somehow the moly grease tune with 2 drops of Hoppe's no.9 gun oil works best for me. It produces the best recoil consistency from mid day to mid night (temperature change). I fixed the trigger creep by filling the mechanism with white lithium grease. Now trigger is very smooth every shot. Zeroed it at 20 yards using my favorite hunting hold since bench rest zero and freehand hold zero is different, maybe due to recoil absorption of my body. Shooting uphill was the easiest since the weight of the rifle is cancelling out the piston slap (when piston hit the end of the tube). Shooting downhill was the most difficult since the weight + piston slap is making my POI drop a lot at long range (~70 to 80 yards). Hope my experience will help you find some answers.

The feel, weight, iron sights, trigger. Pleasure to shoot, very accurate. I have not mounted scope yet - too much fun to shoot with iron sights.

Everything seems to be well thought out and works well.

Very different experience from all my springers. Try it!

The feel like a real gun and it shoot great.

Add a better scope

It take time to break it in then it will quiet down

Lightweight, accurate, easy to cock and the stock is comfortable. Happy with scope also,shooting at 30-40 yards

Nothing,good quality for under 300$

Using RWS supermag field line 9.3 gr pellets,

Overall this is the best air rifle I've ever owned. I like everything about it. This is the first gas piston air rifle I've bought and I love it. It is very light weight, shoots great and very accurate. The kick is little to nothing and it is very quiet. Smooth trigger and stock feels great!

I would definitely recommend a different scope but nothing other than that.

If you're interested in a great air rifle, the price is a little steep but you should definitely look into this rifle.

This gun is very ergonomic. The action is smooth and light. You can cycle this gun all day. I's quite ez to cock. The stock is world class. If i could put this stock on every gun i own, I would. Cant say enough about the stock. It is a good looking gun and the silencers actually work well. Dramatically more quiet than any other springer or gas piston gun i own. The trigger is better than just ok but not as good as the T06 rws group. There is a wide margin between these 2 triggers. The SAT is decent. Its much heavier than the T06 and has considerable creep. However thats only bad for paper punching. Its a good hunting or plinking trigger. The gun feels light and well balanced. I put a 3x9x50ao scope and bipod on mine. Quite functional for hunting and slings just fine with the bipod. It has plenty of power. You sacrifice accuracy with more power. But with a good hollow point or dome you can reach out to 40m with good stopping power. You can hunt well with this gun. It has alot of cool fator and will make for a great close range hunter. 30-40m max for accurate clean kills. Anything further requires luck no matter how good you are.

Like everyone else says.. The scope has to go. But its ok if funds are tight. Replace it with a decent ao scope and you will be happier. A new scope DOES NOT make this gun more accurate! This gun will give you about 1.5 inch groups at 20m with a lot of verticle strings regardless of what scope or ammo you run thru it. There are times i can get dime sized 10 shot groups at 20m. Its not consistent tho and its not scope, mount, ammo or fouling. I have not discovered why it prints erratically. It is a bit hold sensitive. Mine likes to be pulled into my shoulder with slight down pressure on the fore stock. Less creep in the second stage of the trigger for a more crisp break would be nice.

First thing you need to know is this is not a target rifle. Get that out of your head now. You will not make it a target rifle either. You can put the best available scope on it and it will not group anywhere near MOA. If you want accuracy keep looking. I'd suggest RWS 34p for paper punching. Same price point, comparable power, with VASTLY superior accuracy from the 34. Do not buy this gun if you are going to hit paper targets and are looking for tight groups. It wont do it and you will get frustrated. It likes heavier pellets in .177. Best accuracy will come from 10-11 grain pellets. Lighter pellets are being over driven in terms of fps and I believe that .177 pellets destabilize as you get closer to 900 fps. This gun is a magnum and it hauls the mail. Use a heavier pellet to harness that power and drop the fps to the 850 fps range. It will hit plenty hard and give you better groups and more confidence for a kill shot. Mine likes Barracuda match and JSB domes. Both around 10.5 grains and will knock the crap out of small game at less than 40m. This gun has plenty of power at even 55m, its just not accurate enough to consistently get a humane kill at that range. Dont risk wounding something. I have about 9000 shots thru mine and its fine. No mechanical problems and I still like to PLINK with it. The stock is just wonderful to shoot. Dont buy this and expect repeatable accuracy. Shoot spinners or cans or whatever like a champ with this gun. Certainly a good close range hunter

Very quiet. Great improvement on the trigger. Very comfortable handling.

Barrel pivot had side to side movement. When I cocked the rifle I would hear grinding.

Would have kept rifle if they had better QC. I don't mind tuning a rifle to improve, but not fix right out of the box. Thank you Pyramid! 30 Day money back guarantee.

Very quiet, low recoil, nice trigger. Scope seems fine too.

Breaking the barrel and charging the IGT requires a good amount of strength.

A very nice air rifle at a good price.

Trigger is great for a factory air rifle under $250. Rifle is quiet. Stock has a good feel. Accurate to 35yds for pest control.

A better scope with AO. Barrel shroud makes gun feel like a toy. Make the stock heavier.

I'm an avid rifleman with many years experience. I was looking for a quieter air rifle for tree rat and rabbit control compared to my Diana 34. For the money, it's hard to find a better rifle this quiet. The trigger is great for an air rifle. Don't get me wrong, it could be better, but it's much better than I expected. Many users complain about the trigger, but they must be comparing it to a custom trigger job, not a factory trigger. The scope is decent. It would be nice to have an AO, but I haven't found the lack of it to be an issue yet. Stock is great too, but it would be nice if it was heavier. The gun is light, which is great for carrying, but more weight in the stock would make the gun feel and shoot better. Last is the question I get asked most, noise. The gun is quiet, when using heavier subsonic pellets. Now, here's the kicker, it's loud to the shooter, but step back a couple feet and to everyone else its quiet. There's a piston slamming right next to your ear, so it sounds very load as the shooter! Overall I would be hard pressed to find a better value in a rifle under $250.

This is my first rifle of any kind. I love everything about this rifle. Before purchasing, I was aware of the most common complaint: the scope. Some said it looses zero after a while, others said it was complete junk. I have done some target practice, and adjusted to scope to where I want it and am very happy with it. Made two 30-40 yard kills (both crows) and I just cannot be happier with this rifle.

Nothing. To me, a beginer in this sport, this rifle is just perfect.

My wife surprised me with a new GAMO Whisper Fusion "IGT" A/R. I must say this was a great gift. I have been shooting Air Guns now for 13 years to keep my shooting skills up and I have a collection dating back to a 1960's Vintage 5mm Benjamin, up to a Customized RWS Mod.54. This is my 1st. Gas Powered "IGT" Rifle and all I can say is a great shooter. GAMO has come a long way in the design of their Hi Power "Adult Air Guns" To be able to shoot w/o the added sound of the "twang of a Spring" is great. The rifle comes in under 7lbs, but the '30lb' cocking is a bit heavy. The trigger pull has been greatly improved from their earlier mods. Pellets fit tight in the breach and for City backyard shooting the ND52 should keep the neighbors from complaining. Using the fixed adjustable sights for the 1st time in a very long time I found this "IGT" Rifle to be a very accurate shooter with few adjustments almost right out of the box @ 25 yards. This will be a great beginner rifle for new shooters, or for and upgrade to older Adult Air gun Shooters. Mine came with a BLACK Stock which is what I prefer over Cameo or Wood. I believe most shooters will find this a great addition to their Air Gun Collection.

If you notice I gave GAMO a great heads up for their new Whisper Fusion "IGT" Adult A/R. Yes they have come a very long way in the quality and design of their product line. As you can tell I am not (was not) a very big fan of theirs, and they still need to make a few more upgrades. The Rifle Scope that comes as a standard issue item with this Improved Adult A/R is still a part of their "OLD" poor quality and design. GAMO now needs to get down to the details of their "Accessories". To include this Rifle Scope as part of and improved Adult Air Rifle is and insult and a downer for what is a much improved Air Rifle. The included scope is a waste of money and will not hold a Zeroed in sighting due to a poor design using weak springs in both the UP Elevation adjustment as well as in the Wind Adjustment. All this sight is good for is that of a "SPOTTING SCOPE". I would not throw it away but as I stated its not to bad for a close range spotting scope in a pinch. Should GAMO come out with a new and improved scope line they will have come a full 360 in their over all quality of their product line in my opinion. Until then they should drop the current Rifle Scopes they are using and give their customers a break in price. It only takes (1) one bad item (revive) in their product line to give a bad reputation. As I stated GAMO "HAS come a long way in the quality of their Adult A/G now they need to get down to the finer de tails".

To make this a "Very Good" quality shooting Adult A/G I would strongly recommend not to use the enclosed rifle scope and P/U the following items as a package. 1st. buy a good 'Barrel/ Drop' upward Weaver Scope mounting Compensator. 2nd buy a set of "Combat/ Swat" style Max Strength Quick Release (1) one inch Weaver Scope mounts (height is a matter of choice), UTG makes a very nice set of these mounts. 3rd. buy a good after market Rifle Scope with a (1) one inch tube, there are several name brands that make a very good quality rifle scope that you will be very pleased with, that will make this GAMO Whisper Fusion IGT Air Rifle a quality shooting tool that you will be very proud to call your own and it will soon be your go to rifle for every day shooting. Also, Note, I am still playing with different brands of pellets, with that said, I have found that the breach of my rifle is very tight, thus giving a nice tight seat for the several brands of pellets I have used so far to test Adult Air Rifle out. I would recommend that you P/U a Pellet Seater to make sure the pellets you use seat correctly and clear the breach and seal when closing the barrel to prevent damage to the pellet and the rifle. I know I have said a lot, but with the changes I made so far, this has been a fun Adult Air rifle for me to shoot so far with some very good groupings at a longer distance. As always shoot safe, Semper Fi. Brianag.

This gun worked perfect on the first shot. Iron sight was almost dead on, only needed 1 click adjustment to be perfect.

Scope is a little hard to adjust because the muffler sticks out from the barrel so you can,t use a bore sight tool.

This gun takes a lot of arm power to cock and when you shoot it, the light recoil will surprise you,almost like a .22. But it is fairly quiet.

This gun once a proper s utg drooper rail/mount is installed is Accurate, powerful, and sturdy feeling rifle. It doesn't feel like it's going break and the cocking effort is always the same unlike my original gamo whisper

1)The included gamo scope I installed while waiting for the utg drooper mount will not hold zero. 2)I had barrel droop so I replaced the default rail with the drooper mount after reading a earlier review here since I experienced barrel droop too unfortunately. My leaper scope I purchased is extremely excellent.

As stated in an earlier review I recommend replacing the gamo scope with an aftermarket one. Also I was one who experienced barrel droop as well, but the utg drooper rail fixed that thankfully and allowed me to use my included weaver rings on the leaper scope. Even with medium profile rings the adjustable stock allowed for me to have a nice cheek wield. I've had good results with JSB Diabolo Exact Heavys. Over all i'm happy with the purchase and recommend it if your looking for a gas piston gamo with a nice trigger go for it.
