Gamo Big Cat with Crosman Nitro Piston

Rifle is awesome,

Trash the scope ,. I ordered a better one.

Get the rifle, buy a better scope,

I am new to air rifles, this is my first purchase. But I am thoroughly enjoying it, once I got the scope adjusted I am hitting the targets at 25 and 50 yards. I have to say all of the tutorial videos are a fantastic addition to the site. I am probably spending way too much time on the site, now I am looking to add a CO2 pellet pistol. Looking at the Gamo PT-80, but haven't made up my mind yet. At 25 yards the accuracy is really good, at fifty yards definitely have to adjust accordingly, but then as I said, I am new to shooting. Definitely taking safety seriously. Many reviews say these are not toys. They are not. The trap I purchased can handle 22 rimshots, and the pellets are making noticeable marks on back plate and are completely flatten or broken apart. The 3x9 scope is great, its a nice addition I was surprised on the effort to compress the nitro piston, but I am used to it now. I haven't not tired adjusting the trigger, but do appreciate the convenience of the safety.

So far nothing.

Everything , this is one of the best guns you could buy for 200 dollars

Nothing

When you first shoot this gun there might be somewhat of a combustion going in the barrel but after a while of breaking in the gun you won't have this going on

it is very very nice light weight and powerful. I got it out of the box and saw a bird.put in a CP HP and shot him dead in the head!!

not much besides a better scope. but don't let that stop you from buying one

it is hard to cock at first but lightens up ALOT. not loud at all and has absolutely no recoil sometimes I barely know when it shoots!You should buy this if you like to hunt birds,squirrels, and rabbits!!!

First i'd like to say that this isn't the first gamo that I own. No difference from the other two, this thing shoot very straight, and I'm hitting targets at 50 plus yards that are a little less than 1.5 inches in size. I did put a 3x9x32 scope o it. The one that comes with it is ok for plinking, but if you really want to see what this is rifle can. do change the scope

Supply with a better scope.

I have friends that have other brand, they have problems hitting what I can at the ranges that I am. To be fair I have problems hitting those same targets with their rifles.

I wanted an air rifle that would shoot accurately from 30 to 50 yds. with some true knockdown power because I intend to hunt with this gun and not just shoot at targets. I read a LOT of reviews on guns from very moderately priced to the really expensive models. The Big Cat in .22 cal. with the nitro piston seemed well reviewed. I totally agree with the good reviews! I haven't shot enough pellets yet to really break in the gun, but I'm already getting tennis ball to golf ball sized groupings at 40 yds. With time and practice, I think I can get that kind of groupings at 50 yds. Most reviews hated the scope that came with the gun, but I've found it to be a pretty good scope so far. I had to tighten the screws a couple of times but now they seem to be staying tight. I have no complaints at all at this point. Accurate and hits really hard in the .22 cal. The synthetic stock works well for me because it's really tough and scratch resistant. Wood looks and feels great, but I'm happy with this stock. Really, it has done everything I wanted an air gun to do and at a price I thought was very reasonable.

The gun clangs a little when shot, and I read that some kind of insulation in the stock would quiet it down a little, so I might try that. The trigger pull seems a little long, and I wish it was a lot shorter. It takes some getting used to. Also, the safety seems backwards to me. You push it away from you for "fire" and pull it back toward you for "safe". That seems backwards to me. It may be that way to keep you from actually pulling the trigger when you take it off safety, but perhaps a safety outside the trigger ring would be better.

I think this is a great gun for the money! I'm very happy with the purchase. My other gun is a multi-pump Benjamin, and I love it but the single cock barrel is sure easier, although it does take some effort to cock it. I Really like this gun!

Light-weight, price, power, accuracy, value. This rifle is the one I should have bought for my first spring rifle. Much less hold sensitive than my regular spring gun; once I found the sweet spot I could shoot accurately from any position. It's so light that off-hand shots are possible. The drilled scope stop is nice.

The scope is, to put it nicely, useless. No real focus ring, background image is not very sharp, cross-hairs are not very sharp. Sell the gun without the scope for a lower price.

Great value! The gas ram version is slightly harder to cock, mostly right out of the box but gets better after 10-20 rounds. The hinge at the break is covered in some sort of grease, not sure what to make of it except that I cleaned off the area around the seal.

This review may be a little early as I have only put a 100 or so pellets thru it. However, I love it. Accuracy is good, the scope sighted in OK after a little tweaking and gun quality is excellent.

Open sights would be nice.

The nitro piston does well in the cold and is a definite plus with this rifle.

stock is nice

scope sucks.and put a rag in stock to help with sound.

bad droop bad bad bad droop!!!!!!!

Got the .22 and very happy. Gun is light and very accurate. Doesn't take long to sight. My first shot hit a bird 40 yards away In a tree and he dropped 50ft like a stone. My second shot hit a rabbit in the neck and dropped him to. This is a one and done gun.

It would be nice for iron sights or at least a better scope for the money. A smooth trigger would be nice.
