Page 2 - Gamo Urban Reviews

Very light...almost too light. Will make an excellent hunting rifle for carrying in the field. Made in UK, cold hammer forged barrel

Price of magazines is crazy...$50? Come on gamo. Giant pickle on end seems useless. My prosport is quieter. Put the fill probe and spare I rings inside with rifle double bagged. It said I was supposed to get spare I rings but only found one and that was floating around inside box and lost that one.

Put a little scope on it to keep the already light rifle light. Trigger isn't that good until you replace the second stage with a 2.5x8mm screw. It did wonders.

Reasonable weight to carry through woods, cocks well, enough power for most small game.

Longer screw for trigger adj.

Used screw out of barrel support to replace stock trigger adj screw, very nice trigger pull .

Everything on this air rifle is good.

Make the air fill valve out of non corrosive material.

After 1yr. of purchase rifle began to leak thru the air rill port hole. Had to unscrew the air fill valve and remove it. Found a white colored corrosion on the valve. I cleaned it very well and greased it very well. Installed it and it was perfect again. So far that has been the only issue.

Accurate, quiet, easy to carry

Lighter trigger.

After much thought I decided to try a Gamo air gun. I have only had one in the past and did not really care for it, however the Urban caught my eye and since it was in my price range I decided to try it, and I am very glad I did. It lives up to its name. Very Quiet, easy to shoot and not pellet fussy. I found several pellets that are very accurate in this gun. Granted I never shoot over 40 yds so can't attest to its accuracy over that but under 40 yds it's deadly. Overall I am very happy and satisfied with this rifle.

Being able to switch bolt for the left handers. Accuracy and light weight .

Metal trigger group . Extra mag should mandatory not only with this rifle but all handguns alike.

So comforting to carry because of weight and balance. A shout out to the team at Pyramyd Air...and the financing options they offer. Never had ANY problems with them they are on top of their A-Game.

Accurate, quiet, nice size & weight, nice adjustable trigger, decent shot count from a fill, I like the grip size and angle, fun to shoot.

The single shot magazine- Maybe not the best design

What is the green band on the stock about..? I went with a single piece offset mount and compact UTG Bugbuster scope-good combo for this rifle. Extra magazines (multi shot) are pricey but really good quality (I like how they stay in place with the magnet). The single shot mags are a pain to use. At least I haven't figured out how to easily load single pellets with it. Had two bad air pressure gauges that were both replaced by the manufacturer without any issues- great customer service. I tried a number of pellets and luckily my copy shoots really well with inexpensive Crosman Premiers.

This thing is a pea shooter! Easy dime sized groups at 25 yards. This is my first PCP and I'm thoroughly impressed. Its quiet, and it hits birds and rats hard. It's hard to have this much fun without drugs. The gun is super light, makes it nice for packing around. It handles extremely well in off hand shooting scenarios and when a rest is available its almost like shooting off a bench. Definitely would recommend this for someone who is looking for a nice air gun or someone who is new to the sport.

The trigger has a lot of creep, however it is fairly light so its not much of a problem. The shot count is a little low but once again, not that big of a problem.

Be sure you've done research on how to fill the gun properly.

This dude is accurate, I'm talking 3/8" at 40yds with jsb 18 grain. Trigger is OK, lots of travel but light enough. Easy to fill and mags work great. It's more quiet than most people say. Gun came in filled with air.

Get rid of any gamo parts. Cheaper mags and throw in an extra

The gas tube warped as air is filled or used. Had to remove barrel band.

Purchase on Jan 2018. By Jan 2019 I had to change twice the pressure gauge And began to leak air through the fill port .

Better pressure gauge. Improved fill port system.

Light weight and compact. Has a long dove tail to mount optics easily, fairly quiet and very accurate @ 50 yards. The stock is nicely done for being plastic. Power is ok a entry level pcp.

The magazine is junk. Its made of cheap plastic and wears out after about 500 shots. Its a shame there is no open sights on this gun.

The magazine is problematic needs to be redesigned. After shooting few hundred pellets the indexing on the magazine is way off and chews up the probe o ring. A new magazine from Gamo is $50 bucks! Thats right $50 bucks for a pos magazine!! If not for the magazine I would not have any problem giving this air gun a five star rating. If I had known about the mag issue before I purchased it I would have not bought it.

I'm impressed with the gun so far. I find it very accurate for my needs out to about my 40 yard limit. I have found the trigger and bolt have both smoothed out after putting 300 various pellets through it. My only knock against the gun is the high price for the magazines.

Lower price for the extra magazines, otherwise no complaints for what it costs.

This is my first pcp and I think I made the best choice possible. There are a lot of new entry level pcps but I cant imagine any being better for me than this urban. It is super accurate, I have shot 1/2 inch groups at 40 yards with Crosman dome pellets. The fit and finish are very good, much better than my QB78S. I am also happy with the balance between shot count and ease of hand pumping, about 4 minutes of pumping gives me 20 very consistent shots. If I want, I could pump for 6-7 minutes and get up to 35 shots, but I prefer shorter pumping and greater consistency over the highest shot count. I have shot about 2,000 pellets through this gun in about a year and I have no regrets whatsoever.

I am sure the suppressor does better than not having one, but I still wish it were quieter.

I considered the Gauntlet, and the Stormrider when I bought this, now, after all the reviews are out I have no regrets. I am sure that the $1000 + guns are amazing to shoot, but for shooting targets and maybe a pest or two, I dont think Iwill ever need anything more than my Urban.

Accuracy is excellent, with several kind of pellets. Quiet enough to be considered backyard friendly. Comfortable grip. No recoil at all.

Bolt action is not that smooth. Magazine is ridiculously expensive as it is.

Good entry level PCP air rifle.

Everything! This was my first PCP. Pellet type, pellet weight doesn't matter, this gun shoots tight groups! Gun is very quiet!

Nothing, the only upgrade/upgrades that would be very useful is a adjustable butt plate and cheek riser for specific scope set-ups. Also, maybe provided a second magazine or make the replacement/secondary mag slightly cheaper. It's a great magazine, just a little pricey.

I have the .22cal, FYI. For an entry level PCP, it's awesome! I would even consider it as a step up from entry level for how it performs! I have only one issue that will be taken care of by warranty once I touch base with Gamo. The pressure gauge is stuck @ 2000psi, it worked perfectly right out of the box. Shot approx. 700-800 rds, maybe slightly more before it stuck. I've read that maybe there's some small debris that worked it's way to the gauge or maybe the gauge is slightly ever so slightly over tightened. I'll have to see what Gamo says in the future.

Synthetic stock, hard to say much as I have not shot it yet.

Gamo needs to do a better job including fill probe when shipping gun.

Gun shipped without fill probe, owners manual shows it should come with one. Pyramyd air did not have one to supply, Gamo did not follow up on request for replacement. Bought the gun in May, still have not shot it in July because I have no way to fill tank. Probes are readily available on multiple UK websites, just takes 2+ weeks to ship to US.

Buy one you will like it. Worth every penny. Girl friend bought one, I set it up with a Bushnell 3x9x40 sports view. H&N 14.6 grain hunter target. Dime size groups all day long at 20 yards. Deadly on ground squirrels at 50 yards. I an in the market for an FX Streamline or Daystate Regal XL Huma reg. I will get one or the other, but after shooting the Urban, I had to buy one for me. It does the job with accuracy and power.

For the price, nothing. If you want more quality pay the price and step up to the higher quality airguns. If you are on a budget and want to check out a PCP airgun, this one is the one you want to start with. Oh there is something that I would change, the price for an extra magazine. Gamo, $50 is highway robbery. I refuse to buy one.

Be safe. Gun comes precharged. Becare not to double load pellets. Fire your last shot, pull back bolt to remove your magazine, if you have cocked the gun and filled the shot chamber with air, discharge air for full safety. Safe the gun. For those worried about air, purchase a 4500 psi hand pump or 4500 psi compressor and tank. I did. I am getting ready for my next PCP. Enjoy shooting.

Fills from 1000 to 3000 psi take about 100 strokes on a Hill hand pump and will provide 30 shots. Plenty of power, a 1/2 inch sheet of plywood will not stop a pellet at 20 yards. Good value for the money. Can't wait to try it out on the neighborhood raccoons.

The bolt action is a little touchy. If you don't pull it back completely it will load a pellet without cocking, which could lead to loading a second pellet if you aren't aware of the problem. It would be nice if you didn't have to look down the barrel to see the pressure gauge.

Louder than portrayed by online videos. While it may not bother your neighbors, they will definitely hear it. The noise is similar to my pneumatic nail gun.

For the money you cannot find (IMO) another product. The only draw back is the so called silencer on the end of the barrel, it does help but in no way is this thing quiet.

nothing

This was my first PCP airgun, and I would recommend the starter package offered by PA. When I left the "airggun community" as a kid, there were only pump guns. The improvements are vast, to say the least. Do your own homework and I hope this helps. Since my purchase I have added six other airguns to my collection and plan to continue.

*Really good barrel, jagged one hole groups out of the box at 30 yards right out of the box, first day. *Good weight and very well balanced, makes for good off hand shooting. *Plenty quiet enough for backyard shooting if you live in town. *Hand pump friendly. I grew attached with these good qualities very quickly, but I had so many problems (I'm not the only one) that I sadly have to give the gun two stars. I want to give it three but that would imply my experience with it was "okay", which is wasn't.

Overall quality control. I had three out of four of the most common problems, only problem I didn't have was the moderator problem. *Float the barrel, keep the barrel band for support but don't allow it to actually touch the barrel. I'm convinced that a lot of the people who claim their band isn't causing a problem haven't tried nudging their barrel left or right and tested for a POI shift. People who cut them off are seeing major improvements to their gun. Be warned though, this voids the warranty. *Put better gauges on them, sticking gauges seem way too common. *Sometimes people have feeding problems, sometimes it can be remedied with a shim, for mine something else was causing it. Rough feeding can damage the o-ring on the magazine or bolt. *A more significant problem people are having are misaligned or loose baffles on the moderator. Can cause clipping or moderator to be blown out. *Lastly, this one isn't quality control, but 50 dollar magazines?!

My barrel band was a major problem, a small nudge of the barrel changed my POI significantly. If I was going to keep it and I didn't have so many other problems I would have cut the thing off. I was going to keep the gun and cut it off eventually, but I had other problems as well. Continued below. A lot of broken gauges, mine was stuck when I got it, never moved. You can put an aftermarket gauge on, this voids the warranty though. Again, I was going to eventually replace it voiding my warranty. Some people have feeding problems, mine hung up every now and then, but it seemed okay, then I noticed the o-ring in the magazine (costs 50 bucks) was getting torn up. This was strike three and I sent it in for a refund, PA gave no problems refunding. Something was misaligned, it wasn't just in need of a shim (some have had luck with shims). Final common issue is in the moderator, the baffles can come loose or not line up properly causing pellet clipping or even the moderator being blown out.

Fit and finish are great love the way it shoulders at 25 yrds it's a laser at 40 yrds 1/2" 5 shot groups and that was just using a blanket roll for a rest haven't used it for hunting yet as squirrelseason doesn't start till the fall and i don't shoot it if I don't eat it except for pests the gun has the power and accuracy I wanted this is my first pcp and what can I say all my break barrels are going up for sale not to hard to fill with a hill mk4 pump all in all very pleased I'm now looking at a synod or a armada next so I can reach out a little farther

Nothing much except I wish it came with sling studs so I can mount a bipod when target shooting drop the price on extra mags $50 bucks is nuts

If you're looking for a entry level pcp this is it
