Things I liked:Quiet, when you shoot the gun it seems loud because of the piston vibrations, but if you stand next to someone else shooting you will be surprised by the quietness, and if you stand 20 feet away (and off to the side of course) you hear nothing but the whiz of the pellet. People complained about the scope sliding off, but the new mount has a stopping system for the scope so it will not budge once tightened. Accurate. make sure to get good pellets, not generic ones. I had some problems sighting it in when I first bought this and figured out it was because the pellets I bought were really cheap inconsistent ones. make sure to buy high quality pellets, domed ones seem to be the most accurate, clean it often and it will be consistent. Best air gun for the money, great for plinking, hunting, whatever you need. I've had it a little over a year now and it works the same as when I first bought it. If I managed to lose or break this gun, I would definitely buy it again Things I would have changed:The butt of the stock is hollow. This makes the gun lightweight, but also causes a lot of vibrations. What others should know:I put some regular egg crate style foam in the stock and it makes a big difference in the vibrations. All you have to do is unscrew the buttplate and screw it back on when you're done. Also, when cocking the gun it is easiest to hold onto the grip with your dominant hand and then hold the tip of the barrel with your other hand. Things I liked:The Whisper makes less noise than my Gamo Black Shadow. The Black Shadow has a definite "twang" noise from the spring after firing where the Whisper does not. The fixed sights are nice and the scope is average for this quality of gun. For the money, I would recommend this gun to anyone. Very fun to shoot! Things I would have changed:The scope mount could use some improvement and I like the metal trigger on the older Gamo's as opposed to the plastic trigger they are now using. Upgrading the trigger to the "Charlie da tuna" GRT-4G made all the difference in the world on this gun. Best upgrade you can make on one of these Gamo's. What others should know:For the money, I don't think you can find a better quality pellet gun. It's not built like a toy and should provide many years of quality shooting. It's a great practice gun as well. Show Other ReviewsCreate an online review and share your thoughts with other customers

Things I would have changed:Stock is a little long for smaller people, but manageable. Single shot is a bit annoying, but goes with the territory, no gas to refill is a positive.
What others should know:Great price here (check for promo codes for better savings) $100 higher is some stores.
