Page 3 - Gamo ACCU Air Reviews

The ease of cocking. The weight is not bad. Loading does not endanger my fingers. I have good success hitting my targets. I have not mounted the scope, I especially enjoy the small size of the fiber optic sights.

Make the safety automatic. Made it a gas cylinder gun. I would shift more weight to the rear of the gun if possible.

My spring failed after 3.5 months. Gamo quickly repaired it and sent it back in a short time. I have picked up where I left off shooting it.

Like the feel, the scope is pretty nice, gun is very accurate. Trigger is exceptional. Underlever is a nice feature ive heard it makes the gun more accurate.

Maybe make it a gas piston, cocking effort is ok for 150$ and down but this ones around the $200 range (meaning it should be a little easier) the strap that comes with it is fine but it dosent work with the underbarrel. Its a kinda loud gun tho.

Gun diesels alot for a while which is fine. Have to sight in frequently for the first 500 rounds. But overall this gun is a pretty good buy and dead accurate from 50yds+

This is my first Adult airgun. I love to shoot, but I am unable to make it to the range with my firearms as often as I would like. I wanted an airgun in .22 cal that could be used for plinking/target shooting and pest control. I made the decision to purchase this particular gun because it was economical, and I like the idea of a fixed barrel as opposed to break barrel rifle. I am pleased with my decision. I have fired about 400 rounds through it so far. It was relatively easy to mount and zero in the scope. I am currently shooting targets at 38 yds and the guns accuracy is only limited by my current skill level with it. My groups of 8 or 10 are about 1.5 to 2 inches with a couple of pellets in each group straying out due to shooter error. I am using half inch plywood as a backstop and all the pellets are embedding well. The gun is fairly quite and has not elicited any complaints from neighbors. I consider this a great gun to get introduced to airgunning.

This gun is a great value and I am enjoying it. I don't know of anything that I would change.

There was some dieseling for the first 100 rounds or so due to the gun being heavily oiled for shipping. I expected it because other customer reviews had mentioned it. I cleaned the bore with patches from my Hoppes kit and the last 300 or so rounds have been smoke free. The first 200 pellets I ran through it were Gamo domed that I purchased as a bundle with the gun.. I bought some Crossman Premiers and the gun likes them a .lot better.

The weight is about perfect for me. The accuracy is getting better and better the more I shoot. Very surprised with the trigger, usually are junk and need to be replaced. This one, while with a somewhat long pull, was very good right out of the box. The fixed barrel has to be good for accuracy. Overall, I would have given it a 5 except for the scope. Why bother? If you are going to market a scope that will break inside of 100 shots, then I will not give a 5 star rating. If you want 5 stars, then put a decent scope with it,OR, leave out the scope and drop the price by $20. That is only my opinion. AS is, I give the gun 5* the package 4*.

Remove or improve the scope. A little less goop in the compression chamber. A little more grease on the spring.

I would buy 500 inexpensive, clean, pellets and shoot and clean until the smoke lets up. You won't get many good groups until the dieseling smooths out. Save some heartache and don't use the enclosed scope on this gun. Put it on a .22rf and get a good one for the Gamo. Mine died inside of 100 shots. To help with cleaning, pull the lever about halfway and open the loading port with the other hand, then return the lever to it's latch. This allows you to clean the bore without cocking the gun. Reverse that process to close the load port when done cleaning. If you try to remove the stock, be advised they used locktite so use a good wrench.

Value, underlever, accurate, good trigger for its price range

nothing

I have had this rifle about 2 wks and I love it. I also have a Ruger Silent Hawk. Both in 177. The Gamo has a better trigger, easier to cock and is considerably more accurate. I pd 200.00 for mine and now it is even a better deal. As with all combo pkgs the scope will probably need to be upgraded but I took no pts off for that since all pkgs come with a cheap scope. I watched a video where it was said this rifle would be hard to shoot off the bench. IT IS NOT. I hv been shooting off the bench for 35 yrs and if your technique is correct, this rifle is a breeze to shoot the bench. This is probably the best rifle available for under 250.00. Buy one, you won't regret it. Pyramid Air did a great job shipping and packaging.

Gamo makes great guns, but i've always been a fan of the underlever style because of accuracy. The barrel never moves! Something about having to cock a breakbarrel rifle and maybe get a wider group of shots and never really know if it was me or possibly the barrel never going back in the same spot. Even a hundred thousandth would probably make your pellet move a half inch at 30yds. i got the premium combo which has a really nice smooth action trigger, scope,and upgraded buttpad. i always wondered why people complained about the old cfx trigger until i shot this one. big differance! you can feel when its ready to fire. i got this in .22 cal this time which has a slower velocity than my old cfx .177, but when it does hit your target it packs a bigger wallup! pellets arent hard to find either. i live in a small town and my local walmart sells about 4 different kinds of .22 pellets. overall a great gun for the price! fast shipping! thanks P A !

nothing accept maybe make this same combo with a gas piston instead of a spring

This gun is exactly like my old cfx which was very,very accurate. I was in a pinch and sold my cfx to a buddy which i regretted. but when i went to buy a new one later, i realized that they no longer sold the cfx.i was bummed out! then i was on pyramid about a month ago and saw that they came out with the same underlever rifle but under a different name "gamo accu". i also fit a shooters ridge bipod on this rifle. all you need to do is make sure the bipod is sling stud capeable, put a sling stud on the stock with locktite (making sure you have enough clearance to cock it) and your in there! works great! the gun looks sweet too! also, my scope came loose on me so i took it off, used medium locktite on all the mounting screws and rings and snugged them back down. havent had a problem since.

First, the gun has been shot about 100 times. I took regular gun solvent and cleaned the barrel then patched till clean and dry. Took it outside and shot with open sights looking for a simple group. Shooting RWS 14.5 grain pellets, .22 caliber, first 4 shots were inside a dime, THIS WAS AT A MEASURED 60 FEET, TWENTY YARDS! I moved around some and the gun surprised me completely. Mounted the scope and at 10 yd's was able to put all the pellets in the same hole, if I missed, it was me, not the gun.

So far nothing. Surprised the scope seems so good so far, but haven't been that far with it yet. I will post updates as I shoot it more.

For the money I am extremely satisfied, I guess time will be the marker, and will post more as I shoot the gun

This rifle is awesome with the upgraded 3-9x40 scope, it is crystal clear. The gun was shooting straight right out of the box but just a little high. This gun has me doing squirrel head shots at 100 feet with open sights. It is a little loud until the rifle gets broken in & settles in. It shoots very well 1/2 - 3/4" groups at 20 yards with pointed Crossman 177 pointed pellets.

Look and Feel. The upgraded (3-9x40 AO) scope is actually pretty good. The rotating breech. The underlever cocking and fixed barrel.

QC seems to be an issue.

This rifle (.22) was received packaged very nicely from Pyramyd Air. I really liked the look and feel of this rifle. The first time I shot it, I noticed that the pellets were bouncing off my wood back stop instead of embedding in it, as all my other guns do, even my crosman 1322 will embed. And my crosman chronys at about 520 FPS. I thought maybe it just needed some break in, so I put about 100 pellets though it and still didn't seem to be any better. So now I was concerned, and I got out the chrony out and tested the rifle. Shooting crosman premier on a nine shot string, I had a high of 555, a low of 372, for an avg. of 437 FPS, extreme spread of 183 and standard deviation of 74. This was terrible, there had to something wrong inside this rifle. So I returned it, I hope this was just an isolated QC issue, but not wanting to risk it, I opted to replace with a different brand.

Open sights are easy to see and able to adjust to target in approx 10 rounds. Cocking effort is very good, I had no trouble loading pellets. Firing cycle is smooth with minimal felt recoil. Trigger has a long pull but breaks cleanly and predictably. Shoulders well, not hold sensitive and is easy to shoot offhand.

The scope and scope mount. Once I mounted the scope after 200 break in rounds with open sights, the ring cap on the back of the mount came loose after 4 (yes I said 4) pellets. The screws had gone through the screw head recess, it appears the recesses were machined too deeply. I put another set of rings I already had on the gun and remounted the scope. It zeroed easily, but halfway through a tin of 500 pellets, it would no longer hold zero, and the gun became an area denial weapon. I changed the scope to a Leaper 4x32 AO that I had on another brand gun that I don't shoot much, and now the rifle is a tack driver. BY the way the Leapers had survived a least 2000 pellets so far and only needs adjusting if I change to a different pellet.

Like i said, with a good scope the rifle is just as the name says, VERY accurate, I am 10 for 10 on pigeons, 8 grackles and 2 squirrels, at varying ranges out to 50 yards. The rifle is quiet, no nelghbor complaints. The pellets i have found best for my gun are RWS Superdome 14.5 grain, and RWS Superpoint 14.5 grain, both will eliminate the center of a bullseye, putting 10 rounds through basically a single 1/2" hole at 35 yards using bench rest. You will not be disappointed with the gun, but don't expect much from the scope and mount, even though they are supposed to be an upgrade. Ordered the gun 11-19-15, it arrived safe and sound on 11/23/15. I have shot approx 900 pellets through it so far,would have been more but weather was bad for 3 days. It is so easy to cock and load that is hard to put it down,and the accuracy makes me just want to keep on shooting.

Got mine in 22 caliber. This rifle is light at just under 6 1/2 pounds without a scope , with a scope it might be under 8 pounds.The stock is very minimal not big or cumbersome. Cocking effort is said to be 30 pounds but it feels lighter than that. Comes with the SAT trigger which i haven't adjusted , feels just right out of the box. Included is a 3x9x40mmAO with an adjustable objective made by BSA/Gamo. The scope is bargain basement , but seems to work very well.Also came with a one piece mount already mounted to the scope. It differs from PA's website that shows two piece mounts,it is heavy duty.It has nice fiber optic iron sights for those who don't use scopes.The underlever is solid and doesn't flex or bend.

This is just a nit pic. But the plastic stock is sharp in some areas, mostly underneath in front of the trigger guard. Nothing a sharp knife couldn't fix.Thats it!

The rotary breach takes a little getting use to.Make sure you seat the pellet before you close the breach. This rifle doesn't seem to be hold sensitive.I found out this rifle has a 11mm mount just under the suppressor / moderator that is an inch and half long, so a bipod can be mounted there.I have an airforce bipod mounted on mine.Most springers aren't accurate with bipods , but this shoots real good with one.Not as quiet as most Gamos but still not overly loud.

This rifle is amazing. With it being a unlever it is not hold sensative. No barrel droop. Its shoulders well. loading takes a little gettting use to. I do like the rotating breech compaired to the bear trap breech. Mine is very accurate. I have been surprised at the range of this rifle. my best shot to this day was made with this rifle. I took a squirrel at 67yards out of a 3 story tree. If it wasn't for the fact i pulled the trigger. I never would have believed it.

I would include a better scope. One with better range.

This gun is well worth the money. In the accuracy department i would put it head to head the a PCP rifle. My rifle is in .22. It likes the crosman permier brown box 14.3gr. and the jsb pellets. This rifle has impressed me so much i have bought a second one in .22,
