Description
The owner's manual states that the scope is mounted and bore-sighted. It is not.
We measured the cocking effort with the metal spring, and it was 35 lbs. (Gamo lists it at 30 lbs.).
Velocity will vary depending on the type of ammo you use:
.177: 1200 fps with PBA, 1000 fps with lead
.22: 950 fps with PBA, 750 fps with lead (our tests show 720 fps with 14-grain pellets)

10 of 104 Gamo Whisper Air Rifle Combo Reviews
We bought it for my son's 9th Birthday. He is able to cock it by himself. Which makes it nice. He can hold it up to shoot it without his arms getting tired.
Things I Would Have ChangedThe trigger has to much play.
What Others Should KnowIt came out of box on site. With the true glow sites.
I like the ease of cocking for this accurate rifle. The quality of the rifle, in my opinion, is top notch.
Things I Would Have ChangedThe only thing that I would like to see is a better trigger. Even if it added another twenty dollars to the price of the gun, it would be worth it.
What Others Should KnowI found out this afternoon when shooting it, that the hood over the front site is very sharp! My hand accidentally slid forward and one finger made contact with the edge of it and it cut instantly. I did not have my hand that far out on the barrel, it slipped. But I will be keeping a careful eye on where I put my hand from now on.
really well made light weight which is great when hunting for along while also quiet and beleave me when hunting in a neighborhood for rabbits and squirrels you dont want the law called for shot fired.
Things I Would Have Changeda better scope a sling are the only things i can think of the rifle is top notch maybe a better trigger as well.
What Others Should Knowyou are getting a really great rifle very accurate and quiet which is very important when in neighborhoods hunting at night or day or practice as well.you just cannot beat this rifle for the price. NO WAY TO GO WRONG.
Very nice gun, ready to use out of the box
Things I Would Have ChangedLike others have said the trigger could use some help. I bought a charlie the tuna trigger, but have yet to insall it. Should help alot. Scope is ok, but what do you expect at this price?
What Others Should KnowPlan on a trigger upgrade.
I like the weight of this rifle, and the fact it is an adult sized rifle. The accuracy is outstanding with this .177 rifle. After breaking in the barrel, it now consistently shoots 10 shot groups of .75" or less at 25 yards.
Things I Would Have ChangedTo anyone who has one of these, the most obvious thing that's bad about this rifle is the trigger. It's terrible. Mine had no adjustability for travel and the pull is a mile long. But I'm used to it now. GAMO, if your going to sell these guns with scopes mounted, chuck your brand and put a real BSA scope on them. The crosshairs started to spin after 150 rounds or so. Chucked that thing and replaced it with a Center Point. All is good now.
What Others Should KnowI was lucky to get an exceptional rifle. I bought a tin of Crossman Field Hunting pellets for break-in. After 350 rounds, the rifle started to shoot very consistent groups out to 40 yards with the aforementioned pellets. The PBA pellets shoot well out to 25 yards, but the groups open up greatly as the range increases. Clean that barrel as soon as you get the rifle. Mine was gunked up terribly. If you don't have JB bore cleaner, get some. I've been using JB for 30 years on everything from pellet rifles to M2 .50 cal machine guns, nothing works better. Use it properly and you'll generally increase your accuracy up to 50% with any firearm.
This gun is superbly accurate. I lost vision in my right eye & had to learn to shoot left-handed. I've had excellent results in pest-controlling squirrels while shooting left-handed for the first time in my life. 16 kill shots out of 21 at 10 to 30 yards.
Things I Would Have ChangedI'm new to airguns, well, if you don't count my BB gun days as a youth. So I can't think of a thing I'd change at this point.
What Others Should KnowOne thing. My sales rep and guide through the purchase process, Jerry, is one of the finest people I've dealt with in person or online. He cares that you get the right item, the right ammo, and that you like it when you get it. I wouldn't think about shopping anywhere else or with anyone else but Pyramyd Air, don't bother, just buy it now and get it in time for your area's squirrel season.
Quickness of product arriving. Came in less than 2 days. Very accurate. Whisper's extras were excellent. Scope and special deal on ammo were super. Very quality product. Can't wait to start hunting with it.
Things I Would Have ChangedCleaning is a bit tricky with muzzle brake and break open action could open a little farther to allow cleaning rod to exit cleanly. I'm sure it will get better after a few cleaning runs.
What Others Should KnowI can't say enough good about Pyramyd Air. I am very pleased with the product and company. Very top rate!
Feels good to hold, solid
Things I Would Have ChangedStock is a little long for smaller people, but manageable. Single shot is a bit annoying, but goes with the territory, no gas to refill is a positive.
What Others Should KnowGreat price here (check for promo codes for better savings) $100 higher is some stores.
Quiet, when you shoot the gun it seems loud because of the piston vibrations, but if you stand next to someone else shooting you will be surprised by the quietness, and if you stand 20 feet away (and off to the side of course) you hear nothing but the whiz of the pellet. People complained about the scope sliding off, but the new mount has a stopping system for the scope so it will not budge once tightened. Accurate. make sure to get good pellets, not generic ones. I had some problems sighting it in when I first bought this and figured out it was because the pellets I bought were really cheap inconsistent ones. make sure to buy high quality pellets, domed ones seem to be the most accurate, clean it often and it will be consistent. Best air gun for the money, great for plinking, hunting, whatever you need. I've had it a little over a year now and it works the same as when I first bought it. If I managed to lose or break this gun, I would definitely buy it again
Things I Would Have ChangedThe butt of the stock is hollow. This makes the gun lightweight, but also causes a lot of vibrations.
What Others Should KnowI put some regular egg crate style foam in the stock and it makes a big difference in the vibrations. All you have to do is unscrew the buttplate and screw it back on when you're done. Also, when cocking the gun it is easiest to hold onto the grip with your dominant hand and then hold the tip of the barrel with your other hand.

Overall look and feel, and the power
Things I Would Have ChangedI wish I had gotten the non-spring cocking version of this gun.
What Others Should KnowIt make a loud spring noise when firing.
