| The CSI Camo is a wonderful, lightweight, powerful air rifle. Adding a Crosman Nitro piston conversion delivers more benefits. You'll be ready to hunt small and medium-sized game and vermin with the Gamo Whisper! Plus, the non-removable noise dampener reduces the report (noise) up to 52%, which means you won't spook game while hunting. But, just because the Whisper is modestly priced doesn't mean you give up anything in the accuracy department! You'll be hitting your targets and making one-shot kills time after time. This just might be the ideal hunting gun! We measured the cocking effort with the metal spring, and it was 35 lbs. (Gamo lists it at 30 lbs.). The Crosman Nitro Piston cocks with 34 lbs. of effort. Here are the benefits of getting a CSI Camo with a Crosman Nitro Piston conversion:

Gamo Whisper CSI Camo with Nitro Pistonreviews summary
Things I would have changed:I was really close to sending this rifle back to PA. The reason being that the Whisper I got had a very dirty barrel. When I look through the barrel of my Hunter, I see smooth chrome-like rifling, but this was not the case with my Whisper. The best way to desribe this stuff is hard, black, rust-textured gunk. With this stuff in the barrel, no matter how hard I tried I could not get a shot group under 6 inches even at 5 yards! I had to squeeze pellets into the breech, deforming them almost every time. Being too embarassed and depressed to ask my wife to return this expensive gift, I decided to try to fix it myself. Guy's review shows how to clean off this solidified gunk . I suspect it is actually overspray from the paint job, as there was alot of green paint on the breech. I managed to remove about 70% of the gunk, but it took forever - it has a dirty motor oil look when you you look at the brush and rod: thirtyfive dollars, 4 bronze brushes, and dozens of cleaning patches later, the pellets fit snugly without force into the breech, the barrel rifling is now visible / only semi-shiny, and accuracy is at what I consider 100%, though it does require more fequent cleaning due to the remaining stubborn gunk. Please look into this apparently common defect, PA. The stock trigger is fine, but upgrades are always cool. What others should know:This rifle is accurate at short ranges (10 yards) with almost any wadcutter or dome pellet I've used, but it's favorite all-purpose pellet has been the Crosman Premier Ultra Magnum heavy 10.5 grain - awesome quality & value BTW. Although the elevation seems to be at its upper limit, and it needs to be tightened every once in a while (300-350 shots), i have not had any problem with the adjustments. You will get the original spring and parts with your order from PA. If you can get PA to clean this rifle for you or send you one with a clean barrel then you will not be dissapointed.
