Gamo Urban PCP Air Rifle

Just got to use my Urban today for the first time and all I can say is; Im Very pleased with this purchase. We shot from 54yards and this thing is crazy accurate. Its Light and easy to manage. An all around fun riffle

The only thing I would change is, the cocking (bolt action) feels a little rough. Id love to have lever action

Nothing really to add here. Its A pretty straight forward riffle

Shot a .31 group yesterday at 50 yards with standard Crossman Premier hollow points. Both the Premier and the JSB 18 are very accurate in this little rifle. It is light, quick, great handling and I get 30-32 good shots out of the air tube. You can get more just that it does fall off at that point. I cheat and use a compressor but it only takes five minutes to pump with hand pump so it is very pump friendly. Amazingly accurate. Overall amazing for its price tag, as a matter of fact it performs right along with high end PCP rifles .

Well it is a 300 dollar rifle, but it would be nice to have a single shot tray, and some means to prevent double loading. However that would increase the cost I am sure.

Some would call this an entry level PCP. Well it is and as a 67 year old lifetime airgunner I will call it the very best entry level PCP I have ever seen. It goes beyond that though as its accuracy is up there with high end rifles. I did the trigger mod, replaced the screw and mine crisply breaks at 1 pound 4 ounces. Be careful with this and beat the stock with a rubber hammer to make sure the rifle is safe and will not fire on its own. You can also double feed this one, so simply make sure the bolt is fully pulled each shot and be mindful of this as if you do this and fire it anyway......well you cannot buy a replacement moderator which is plastic, you would have to replace the entire barrel assembly. Other than that a very nice little highly accurate rifle and if you are a hunter, easy to tote around all day. It is a keeper. Cheers Kit

This is my first PCP and the fact that it has a BSA barrel is what convinced me to give it a try. I ordered the Premier bundle from PA so everything I needed was delivered right to my door. I am new to airguns so "Things I like" are how quiet it is, and no recoil. I was using a Gamo Varmint .177 before this so the Urban is a huge step up over Varmint! Based on reviews on Youtube I bought JSB 18.13 grain pellets and have put many a 10 round group in at 50 yards within an inch CTC. I did clean my barrel after the first 100 shots or so and that really helped tighten my shots up.

The fit and finish are a bit cheap looking and feeling, but it is a "budget" PCP. There seem to be some rough edges on the suppressor in particular but nothing that interferes with the accuracy. To me the grip seems a bit too narrow and the plastic very hard. It just doesn't have a good "feel" in the hand.

When my gun arrived I set up the scope and used the Benjamin pump that came with my bundle to pump up the gun. That is a workout! At first the gun would begin to leak at 170 bar, but I was able to shoot it and begin zero the scope. I'm lucky to have a 25 and 50 yard target in my backyard. After a magazine or two I pumped it up again, leak at 170 bar. The leak was coming from the gauge so I Googled and got some info about the gauge maybe being too tight so I removed the gauge and finger tightened it only to have it now leak at 150 bar. I discovered the o-ring was nicked from over tightening from the factory. I called PA to get a new o-ring and they were ready to take the gun back on exchange. I felt this was overkill for a 10 cent part and got in touch with Gamo to send a new o-ring. In the meantime I used an o-ring from the parts bag that comes with the gun and she now holds pressure to 200 bar. As others have said, pump to 200 bar shoot 20 rounds and refill to 200 for best accuracy.
