Description

The Gamo Wildcat Whisper Air Rifle features the Gamo Inert Gas Technology (IGT) piston to launch pellets for fast, more consistent shots. You'll notice that gas piston pellet guns are very smooth cocking, they function better in cold weather, and have a longer lifespan than traditional, metal spring powered guns.

With speeds of up to 1350 fps in .177 caliber and 975 fps in .22, this gun is ideal for your small game hunting and pest control needs. And because this gun is outfitted with the Whisper Technology, this ultra quiet rifle is less likely to spook your quarry and more likely to hit your intended target.

Smaller targets are easier to see with the included 4x32 scope.

I've been using the .22 since last march of '24. Has consistent power and accuracy. Mine likes H&N pellets, I use the Terminator for pest control. The recoil is harsh, a scope stop is mandatory. It has killed 2 cheap optics. I recently put a Gamo Recoil Reducing Rail on it and it seems better. I am now using a Hawke red dot on it with good results. Lots of fun to shoot.

I think it should come with a scope stop, even better if it came with a scope stop and a Recoil Reducing Rail.

Tighten all screws regularly, use thread lock on the stock mount screws.

A nice handling .177 break-barrel, gas piston rifle. Holds a dime-size group at 50 ft (squirrel distance) once the proper pellet is found. It settled down after about 100 shots and the cocking became easier. Good value for the money and good for plinking and light pest control.

I'm not out to win the Olympics so there's not much I would change at this price and performance point.

If you look around at any air rifle review, you'll see that each gun is sensitive to the pellets used. I sighted in the Whisper using H+N hollow points at 50 ft (not yards) and will see what happens at 100 ft. My other UX .177 groups tightly with RWS wad cutters, and a 3rd rifle loves the JBS Match pellets. That's part of the fun, getting to know your equipment.

Light weight balance good a little overated on speed more like 1050 with lead pellets a little disappointed

Make sure that lead pellets work at speeds as well as allowy pellets do or. Boost pressure. Still like my blitz

The scope takes a while to adjust still don't have it dialed in yet still 5 inches of center

Liam Aug 12, 2024

I would recommend finding a different scope that has a one inch tube because if you don't use the gamo scope rings you can't mount a different scope, or you could try and find a picatinny rail for it. Hope this helped!

Actually a great little rifle for the price. Reasonably accurate if you do your part (read below). Should be able to hold 2 inch groups at 50 yards with enough velocity to humanely dispatch small to medium pests. As always, shot placement is key.

The scope that comes with the rifle is not great. I immediately gave it to my child to pretend to be a pirate. Any name brand 22mag type scope would work - I opted for a 4x32 Simmons which ran $35. The trigger is also not fantastic, but workable. This will never be an ultra precise weapon, but is sufficient enough for the tasks it was designed for.

Make sure to break in the rifle, and be prepared to test a few types / weights of ammo. Don't be shocked by the results.

For breaking in, I fired 50 rounds, ran a bore snake through, 50 more rounds, bore snake, then sighted in.

I purchased expensive H&N 16.2gr pointed pellets that performed horribly. I couldn't hold a group and constantly got fliers.

I then tried some ultra cheap Crossman hollow point 14.3gr pellets ($7/500) and holy cow they were spot on nearly every shot. Shortly after dialing in the rifle, and took a groundhog at 50 yards with an incredibly clean / humane kill.

Overall, a great rifle, but remember the price point that you're purchasing into and don't expect miracles.

This rifle surprised the heck outta me. Made in Spain, it has a nice heft, feeling like a regular .22 and packs a surprisingly accurate wallop with H&N Field Target Trophy 14.66 gr pellets. The scope is adequate and wasn't hard to install or sight in. One feature I really like is the single shot loading. Every pellet is sure to be chambered properly and there is no problem with a circular magazine actually falling off the gun or disfiguring the pellet, as on some higher end rifles. Also there is no front sight to get in the way of the scope's sight picture. Even though it is a low end rifle, it is not a toy. It is way more than I expected for the modest price.

There is nothing to change or improve upon.

Cocking this rifle is a little stout for this 72 year old shooter. It is not a big deal for short sessions, but for long hunts and full days of shooting, I would definitely consider a different charging method.

So much fun for so few bucks! This rifle shoots very well, worked for me right out of the box with the included scope. I was not expecting to see 1 inch groups the first day! Cocking effort is reasonable for my poor old arms. Seems solidly built.

For the price, not a thing.

Given the results, the rifle does seem to like the Crosman Premier 14.3 grain pellets.

It is light in weight for a rifle intended for hunting. It is very accurate at close range with Meisterkugeln in .22. Not nearly as hold-sensitive as I feared it would be.

I just wish I could find a domed pellet that it likes so that I can unlock its longer range potential. The beautiful groups that it makes at 10 meters with wadcutters deteriorate badly at 30 yards. That is why it only gets 4 stars for accuracy.

This rifle offers tremendous value for the money. I bought it to replace a Benjamin 392 that I didn't like and it is better in every way for about $50-60 less. It won't compete with HW or Air Arms on just about anything but the ways in which those brands are better don't justify the 3-5x price difference.

Love the size and the weight of it. Loading it is not so bad if you can stabilize the entire gun between your arms or even placing it on the ground will make it easier . Does take some effort for these break barrels. The price for it is what attracted me and when it arrived I got it sighted it in at 30 yards (after changing the scope) it was accurate and I was getting headshots off squirrels easily between 15 and 30 yards. Using the Gamo Red Fires .22 cal 15.4 grains. Why did I choose these over the swarms. I do not mind cocking this back after every shot to load the pellets. With the swarms you are paying for convenience with the magazines. Where as I could save money on that particular aspect and still get the job done

For the price of it I cannot find anything I would change because it works for me

Might want to change out the scope for something better. Though you do not have to the scope will still get the job done just not great magnification. I had a bushnell scope 3x4x90mm laying around and that with the whisper made it great for my hunting needs.

Light weight, accuracy, low price.

Trigger and a longer warranty would be nice.

The trigger has a lot of creep out of the box. You may want to change the OEM trigger adjustment screw behind the trigger to an M2.5-0.45 10mm hex socket screw to adjust the trigger 2nd stage for a lighter break. Be sure to secure the screw with a tiny bit of blue Loctite once you have it set where you want.

Best results shooting was with JSB Straton, 15.89 gr. 0.22 pellets, 0.625 in. group at 25 yds.

VICENTE May 30, 2022

You are quite right. For the price it is an excellent rifle. I put an 8 mm long screw at the trigger and inmediatelly the pull was shortened and lightened a lot. The scope was changed for a 3-9X 40 AO Hatsan Optima of USD $40.oo and pointed also was better. Even if you turn the front ring all the way to the left, and use 4X magnification only, you can impact very small animals at 3 yards. Enjoy it.
