| The Whisper is a wonderful, lightweight, powerful air rifle. Adding the Crosman Nitro Piston conversion delivers more benefits. Offering 1200 fps with PBA or 1000 fps with standard lead, you'll be ready to hunt small and medium-sized game and vermin. Plus, the non-removable noise dampener reduces the noise up to 52%, which means you won't spook game while hunting. And, 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 Whisper with a Crosman Nitro Piston conversion:
Metal spring: 880 fps/PBA pellet; 739 fps/14-grain pellet Gas spring: 960 fps/PBA pellet; 740 fps/14-grain pellet Installation of the Crosman Nitro Piston has a 1-year warranty. The owner's manual states that the scope is mounted and bore-sighted. It is not.

Gamo Whisper with Nitro Pistonreviews summary
Things I would have changed:I would make the rear sight a little more robust. It tends to change adjustment when rifle is cocked. I tried to improve this by putting locktite on the adjusting screw. NOT A GOOD IDEA, as I striped the boss out of the plastic mount. I rebuilt the sight and use the scope more now anyway. What others should know:Once broken in (which takes at least 200 shots in my opinion) the accuracy with the Nitro Piston is great! After zeroing the scope, I was cutting off 1" pine tree limbs at 30 yards. This would take several shots, eating away a piece of limb each time. I was using the Ballistic v2.5.4 program to calculate the hold over since I was shooting at a 45 degree angle up. It was dead on! I could clip a 1/2" limb with one shot. I am justifying the purchase by not needed a tree trimmer!
Things I would have changed:It has been nearly impossible to match a scope mounted laser sight and/or flashlight (important to me since I am using for nocturnal varmints). What others should know:The barrell action pull will make your arm sore after a serious round of shooting!
Things I would have changed:I'd like to see a smoother trigger - but I understand that this would increase the cost. For the money, I feel the trigger isn't a bad one - much better than the Beeman RS7 import. What others should know:All the benefits of the Nitro Piston over the spring system are worth it to me. If you are looking at going with a Nitro Piston platform, this is a good deal all the way around in my opinion. Not a true tack driver, but a great varmint control / plinker / hunter gun that you won't worry about taking to the field for some rough use.
