Great air rifle at a great price! I have a pest problem, raccoons, and armadillos, I’ve already killed 2 armadillos in my yard in the middle of the night, digging my yard up, can’t use a scope at night and my average shooting Distance is only 30 feet, so this pcp rifle is perfect for the job and is extremely accurate! And the raccoons tear up my bird feeders, but not anymore! It’s the perfect product for my needs!!

Wouldn’t change anything

It’s a great pcp rifle for a great price

The power and accuracy of this pcp out of the box

Add a second mag

None.

Delivery took a long time, gun is SUPER heavy, came without documents, had to buy separate expensive pump, was supposed to come with 2 .177 cartridges, but came with one damaged .22 cartridge.

Be careful before ordering.

all good , shoots close groups great air rifle

Light weight. Very quiet, back yard friendly, can be filled with a hand pump, but I’m old so I use my scuba tank or compressor.

Not sure if i would change anything but the arrow bolt is a little werid to get use to, but it’s what makes the rifle unique.

The first rifle I received had a bad air leak. Called Pyramdair and they sent me a return label I sent it back and in a week I received my new rifle! Awesome customer service!!!!!
Just a suggestion, fill the rifle up and let it set for a few days to make sure it doesn’t have a slow leak, new rifle passed with flying colors.

Simplicity and solid built. Some call it an "Enter Level" PCP with more expensive rifles costing hundreds of dollar more! Backyard friendly, accurate and quiet! I plan to try in on pests and small game sometime in the future! GAMO! You hit a home run and Pyramid always has the best service people and price's!

Not to hot about the Arrowhead cocking pull, but can live with it!

Always wear your safety glasses and remember! These are not a toy!

This is to correct a one-star review I left a couple days ago. I incorrectly thought the magazine wasn't fitting the gun because it didn't snap all the way in and flush to the receiver, but it was designed to hang out about 3/4". The performance of this gun is stellar and the accuracy is astounding, given the reasonable price. Actually, it looks and performs like it should cost a lot more. When you read my last testimonial, I'll tell you how I cleared out my flue cap on my wood stove, which would have cost me the price of the gun, had I had it done professionally. So this gun has already paid for itself.

A better and more detailed instruction manual would be better for a gun of this quality. I had mine sighted in at the factory and they did a good job as this thing is capable of one-hole accuracy at around 25 yards and probably 1" groups at 50 yards. I intend to use this for predator suppression as varmints are threatening my chicken coop. I think that the .22 cal pellets are more than capable to do away with the possums, skunks and raccoons that are terrorizing my hens.

Here is a very unusual tale about how I used this rifle to correct a problem with my wood stove that had the potential to cost me a lot of money due to my 6" triple-walled stainless steel stove pipe clogging at the weather cap, which has a fire suppressing mesh installed to protect from sparks or embers igniting the brush and trees surrounding my house. Since the thing is 25' high due to being next to my 2nd floor, there was no way I was going to be able to get up there to clean out that screen. Since I just received my air rifle, I decided to try something........after verifying the accuracy of this gun, I braced it against my rose arbor on my deck and shot a ten round pattern of pellets into the side of the screen, watching with satisfaction as the creosote deposits flew off as grey particles and dust. I reloaded walked to the other side and repeated the exercise. When I lit my wood stove, it performed flawlessly when it previously smoked so bad that it was impossible to light.

Magazine won't fit

Make a magazine that fits

Looks like a nice air rifle, but I can't get the magazine to click in place. It just won't fit at all....

Very poor quality build, most of it is plastic. Plastic barrel shroud and receiver are plastic and molded together. The internals are mostly plastic: trigger, various parts in the receiver, etc It has under average accuracy, 1-1.5" at less than 30 yards. Past 30 yards i could rarely hit anything. When shooting, in about 1 shot out of 5 the cocking bolt/arrow will not be locked properly and a burst of air an nose will get in your face. The magazine has a rubber o'ring which broke after several hundred pellets. If you want something cheap and worth the money, buy one of the Beeman PCP offerings (Chief 2 plus, underlever, etc). They have a solid build, and are quite accurate (have a few of them). The only thing worse with the Beeman PCPs is their shot string, you get 30 good shots instead of 40 good shots with the Arrow. Gamo's first PCP (AKA Gamo Arrow) has the build quality of a Crosman/Daisy multipump but worse accuracy.

Not buying it

Lightweight, accurate, quiet,well built,cheap .

For this price nothing. How can you ask for anything more. Maybe extra mag.

I just received it today and had so much fun shooting it. I normally shoot 30cal rifles and had a bunch of .22 pellets that I wanted to get rid of. I have a .22 Marauder and Avenger which I have tune for certain pellets and this Gamo Arrow was to be used to get rid of the excess pellets. Wow, I wise surprise by its performance compared to my other rifles. The report is quieter than the Marauder which was tune it up a bit. Also build quality seems better than my Avenger. Accuracy is good with different pellets (1 inch groups at 30yds) possibly better with right pellet. On a full charge it seems to shoot 2 or 3 mags before losing accuracy but will need more testing to be sure. The trigger is comfortable and predictable and not overly heavy. It is hand pump friendly. I have guns that cost ten times more but I will adding this one to my collection.
