Description
The Gamo Whisper air rifle has become one of the mainstays of airgunning. It's great to have the power to hunt without the usual loud report you'd get from such a powerful springer. If you're into hunting or pest elimination, this would be a great rifle to get the job done. This is the first time a Whisper has been offered as an underlever (fixed barrel).
The Custom Action Trigger is light years better than the previous version. It's smooth and predictable and allows you to tailor the trigger to your personal preferences. This should increase the accuracy potential of your air rifle because of greater predictability. The Shock Wave Absorber buttpad helps reduce the felt recoil, making a much more pleasant shooting experience.
The Crosman Nitro Piston cocks with 34 lbs. of effort.

10 of 24 Gamo Whisper CFR with Nitro Piston Air Rifle Combo Reviews
Just got this yesterday. I've only taken about 15 shots, but it feels like a very nice rifle. The scope is great, as are the fiber optic sights. The nitro piston installation is awesome. Good accuracy out of the box, which I only expect to get better. Good trigger, which I haven't adjusted yet. The adjustable cheekpiece and suppressor are very nice finishing touches.
Things I Would Have ChangedIt's heavy for walking around. This is no problem for me, as I shoot using a bench rest. If you are looking to use this as a hunting rifle and will be moving around, you might want to look elsewhere.
What Others Should KnowOverall, a great rifle so far. I expect for it to get better as it breaks in. You can't go wrong with this rifle!
I love this gun! I have had A LOT of airguns thru out the years and although this isn't my absolute favorite, it is pretty high on the list. I have always been on the fence about break barrel rifles but definitely like the Nitro piston technology and this rifle combines the best of both worlds. This gun will basically never wear out. I'll never have to worry about the barrel pivot wearing out or loosening up which we all know does happen and does affect accuracy with break barrels. Also, I'll never have to worry about the spring weakening over time. Another thing worth mentioning is the ease of cocking with this gun. It's true that this gun may be a little weaker than other nitro piston air rifles but that is a good thing when you consider breaking the sound barrier destroys accuracy. I dream of one day owning a quality made lever action BB rifle with a small nitro piston instead of a spring. A NP Red Rider made in the USA would be awesome!
Things I Would Have ChangedThe trigger feels good but it is plastic. I do not like a plastic trigger on any gun but a Glock.
What Others Should KnowThis rifle is sort of picky when it comes to ammo. After about 50 rounds it should be broken in enough to start expecting good accuracy. After that start experimenting with different brands, weights, and shapes of pellets. So far I have found that the RWS Supermag field line and JSB Exact Monster pellets to be the most accurate. But for me, the funnest thing about getting a new air gun is sighting in the scope and finding just the right ammo.
This rifle feels great with the adjustable stock and pistol grip. I am very impressed with the accuracy right out of the box. Didn't have to wait to put 100 rounds through to achieve 1" placement at 50'in my indoor range. Have not taken it outside for longer range testing but expect that will be excellent also. The scope that came with the gun is better than I expected. Very good optics.
Things I Would Have ChangedOnly one thing.. it is louder that I expected of a Nitro Piston.
What Others Should KnowI have been waiting to pull the trigger on a Nitro piston under barrel lever cocking rifle and finally did on this one and am glad I did.
Fantastic package that Pyramid Air and Gamo have put together. Accuracy is dead on, every time. And it's very powerful.I have a Benjamin Genesis in 22 and a Gamo Big Cat in 177, and my buddy has a B3. This is absolutely more accurate than any of these rifles, and it seems to put just as much energy into my spinning targets as my 22. I am super happy with the rifle, great trigger (I assume Pyramid can take credit for this). It's not nearly as heavy as I thought it would be. It feels ve very ergonomic and fairly easy cocking. You aren't going wrong for this gun, it is definitely in the league of much more expensive guns. It's putting my RWS Super domes pretty much wherever I aim. Fantastic gun.
Things I Would Have ChangedThe scope doesn't do the rifle justice, if it either came with a better scope or none at all that would be great
What Others Should KnowYou might need a push stick to seat the pellets
I am what you would typically call a novice air gunner. Have been shooting on and off since I was around 12 - some 35 years ago... I asked all the novice questions; Break barrel or fixed, gas piston or spring, hand made quality or mass produced etc. I bought a Gamo Shadow IGT - very nice, powerful and good value. But from above 20 yards I was not satisfied with the grouping, even if I tried all kind of pellets. I achieved within one inch groupings with a lot of practice, but was not satisfied. I bought the Gamo CFR Whisper IGT, factory produced gas piston. Wow! No, really WOW! It is like shooting a totally different gun! I am so glad that I did not spend double the money - still, this is just a spare time hobby for me. The groupings on the very first day of shooting from 20 yards are within 1cm!!!! That is 4/10 of an inch! And I do not see myself as a skilled marksman. If accuracy and value for Money is what you are looking for, it is hard to believe that this can be beaten!
Things I Would Have ChangedThe underlever seems a little bit weak and time will tell if it will hold up. Even if the trigger is the same SAT as in my Gamo Shadow IGT, it feels a lot smoother and sensitive. From what I understand a quality air rifle is as good as new after 20 years and almost Daily shooting. For my needs, once everey now and then I do belive that my Gamo will deliver. If possible, I would have bought a version without fixed sights, using a scope is my preferance.
What Others Should KnowI am sure that there are many professionals out there, who all have so much more experience and knowledge compared to me. I am sure that there are arguments why you should consider a lot of other brands that can match or outperform this air rifle. But I challenge all of you to present an affordable - good value for money air rifle that will outperform this one!
Gun is EXTREMELY accurate, consistently shooting quarter size groups at 35 yards.. Gun was purchased to eliminate squirrels from bird feeders around the yard. Not as powerful as some on the market but is the most accurate I've shot for under $500. Able to make head shots on squirrels out to 35 yds. time and again. If plinking and small game elimination is your goal, you won't go wrong with this one.
Things I Would Have ChangedHad immediate trouble with bundled mounting system even after loctite.. I have since ordered a BKL one piece mount from Pyramyd Air and scope or rings haven't moved at all. Provided 3x9 Gamo scope is descent but leaves some to be desired. I have also just ordered a Leapers 3x9, b/c I think this gun is capable of much more with better optic. Maybe Gamo should offer a cheaper price with no scope/mounting system provided..
What Others Should KnowThis system is definitely worth the extra $$.. Have shot several brands of pellets, and gun performs solid even with cheaper Daisy brand. Have gotten my best groupings with H&N and Predator Polymags both purchased from Pyramyd. If a super quiet accurate gun is what you're looking for, this one is perfect. Would not hesitate to purchase this one again.
Accuracy, Accuracy and Accuracy!
Things I Would Have ChangedThe gun is big, bulky and heavy.
What Others Should KnowI'm doing sniper style shooting out my back window so the weight and bulk of the rifle is a secondary concern. My focus is on a humane kill or head shot so accuracy is of primary importance.
Wow I can't believe how accurate this gun is!
Things I Would Have ChangedNot a thing!
What Others Should KnowI would highly recommend this gun for it outshoots some guns 3 times the money! Love it!
out of the box very accurate. adding the nitro piston was a great addition to this gun. it also came with a great scope. it is heavy but i just target shoot from a bench rest.
Things I Would Have Changedmake the same gun in .22 and I'll buy it.
What Others Should Knowdefinitely not a fast loader, but acceptable for leisure target shooting. after awhile you get into a routine with the cocking, loading and it is just plain fun. for plinking i use steel pressurized cans like from wd 40 and it will go thru both sides like a 22 rim fire. it is quieter than my break barrels, the pellet hitting the targets are louder than the gun. no regrets for purchasing this rifle .

The spring piston in my GAMO CFR .177 failed after approx. 3000 rounds. The spring piston was replaced with a nitro gas piston using Pyramydair services. The shipping and installation took approx. two weeks. I am very pleased with the installation and service. Accuracy is somewhat improved...1/4 in. groups/32 ft. with RWS Meisterkugeln 8.2 gr pellets while using the iron sights.
Things I Would Have ChangedNothing
What Others Should KnowThis air rifle is hard on scopes-two GAMO failed around 500 round each and one UTG which failed after approx. 800 rounds. Cocking force is noticeably greater with the nitro piston installed.
