Description

Pest elimination is one of the major reasons many people buy powerful airguns such as the Gamo Big Cat 1400. You can take mice, rats, rabbits, squirrels, small pest birds and more with this air rifle.

Especially nice is the SAT trigger, which has two stages and is so nice that you'll never have to replace it with any aftermarket versions.

The SWA recoil pad doesn't eliminate recoil, but it does stop most of it from getting through to your shoulder. Spring-piston guns don't have a huge amount of recoil to start with...just enough for you to notice. However, if you're shooting a lot, you'll start to feel that recoil more and more and could end up with a sore shoulder. The SWA will take away a good bit of the bounce and make it more pleasant to stay on the range all day.

In between hunting (or if you don't hunt at all), use this air gun to shoot paper targets, spinners, tin cans, dirt clods, dandelions and more! It's an all-purpose shooter that may end up being your go-to gun for fun and hunting.

Nice balance

I wish it had open sights

Shooting from a bench rest it shoots all over the place. When I contacted WAMO there response was I quote "I do apologize for that. All break barrel rifles have a break in period. Ours is about 150-200 shots. So before you reach that you will not shoot as accurate" I wish I had known that before I purchased it.

First this rifle is powerful. For the money in a break barrel you can't go wrong with this beast. Mine came with a Gamo 3-9x40 scope at the retailer not the 4x32. Stock is ergonomic and SAT trigger is predictable. This is a Hunter for sure!

First all air rifles should have iron sights. This one is loud with anything less than 10 grain lead. Sling mounts would be a nice edition. Would like to see a wood stock offered and a bi-pod included as well. PBA is useless for hunting.

Overall for the money this is the closest we get from Gamo to the missed Hunter Extreme of days gone by. This is not a beginner air rifle and is designed for hunting. Confident this could take a coyote under 20 yards with good shot placement.

Stock design is comfy, easy to get a natural hold on. Very bench friendly. Could downsize the pistol grip a little, though. I've got big paws, and it feels large to me. Trigger feel is surprisingly nice, very smooth, easy to "slow smooth squeeze".

Scope provided makes a better paperweight than a sighting device. Reticle is blurry, focus constantly changes. To be expected, it's worth what you paid for it. Trigger is nice, but needs to be metal to feel perfect. Can feel flex as you squeeze. Gamo PBA pellets that it comes with are not worth shooting, my 20ga. shotgun patterns better with birdshot than this does with PBA's. They are too light, too fast... they are supersonic out of this powerplant, and that drastically affects stability with a projectile this light. Barrel apparently needs more "meat"... maybe try all steel instead of plastic coated? I know it's not a $400 piece, but a bent barrel??? Really??? C'mon, Gamo... Everyone please note, I did not buy this from Pyramid, I bought it locally due to a screamin' end of year sale. Please do not allow this to reflect negatively on Pyramid Air.

K, here's the deal... the gun I purchased (not from Pyramid) feels great, shoots nice, has plenty of power, but will not hit the broad side of a barn. The barrel has a visible slope down when looking down the gun. At first I thought it was just the poly coating and not the barrel itself, but I was wrong. I tried two different scopes, had them both maxed out "up", and was still hitting an inch low AT EIGHT YARDS! Ended up destroying a Leapers 4x32 after 10 rounds due to having adjustment maxed. That said, the "inch low" group consistently had 5 pellets touching each other, so I have to say that the overall build of the gun is good, just had a junk barrel. Choose your pellets wisely, this gun only likes what it likes, nothing else. Wadcutters do not fly well out of this barrel, it shoots too fast, lots of "fliers". Had really consistent (albeit low), nice groups out of RWS Super-H-Point 6.9gr pellets. If it wasn't for the horrifyingly bent barrel, this gun would get 4 (or more) stars.

You can shim the rear scope mount by adding strips of paper between the scope and rear mount to compensate for the barrel droop. This works best on a '0' scope before turrets are turned. Check YouTube 'Rezero a scope with a mirror' to reset crosshairs to center. Set target at 30-40ft. Do not turn turrets, test shot,too far L or R, flip mounting rings to opposite side. Test shot, is it closer to center? If so, adjust L or R to center. Shooting low? Add paper strips under rear scope to mount until close. Move target to your desired shooting distance, and complete shimming. Now finetune your Up and Dn. This process takes time and patience, but retains the full adjustments of the scope.

Very comfortable check and butt pad. Especially with the recoil of this air rifle. Love the power and comfort. I shot dime sized groups from 40 yards consistently for 250 pellets fired.

Nothing yet. I'm very happy with this air rifle.

Steven Mar 30, 2018

I recommend you throw this junk away and get a pcp!!!

Steven Dec 11, 2016

I call B.S. on consistent dime sized groups at 40yards!

Caracara Jan 07, 2016

I added some weight inside of the buttstock and some weight at the end of the barrel and the recoil is reduced significantly. Mine weighs 9 1/2 pounds now. That is what most other "Magnum" air rifles weigh in at.

Caracara Jan 10, 2015

I have just got the BigCat 1400, But I have had the Bull Whisper Extreme for 2 years and could not keep a scope attached securely. Also the screws would pull through the caps of aluminum rings. Finally I got tired of it. I put a weaver rail adapter on the dovetail rail (Hawke brand) with a stop pin. Then I put a set of short Steel rings on top of that. That has fixed it. My scope (After destroying 4 others) is a Bushnell 4-12X40AO. I will put this same set-up on the BigCat next week with a BSA scope. The extra weight also absorbs some of the recoil.

Recoil? You're kidding right? Lolz. I would put it this way...it is the heaviest recoiling air gun of any of the 50 plus guns I have owned and fired in my life. The velocity on my chronograph also is the fastest on any spring gun I have tested of the 50+ also, so recoil is in keeping with power. That said, it obviously does not recoil any where near what a 300 Magnum firearm does! But comparing airguns to airguns, it has the most recoil of any I have ever fired! And I will be extremely happy if I can shoot dime size groups at 40 yards, but must solve my scope creeping back on the rail problem first before doing accuracy testing! Any recommendations for mounts?

The stock and overall feel of the gun fits just right. Power and sound say's everything watch out critters I own this garden.

Nothing

Accuracy is there with the power but be prepared to put in your time to learn how this gun shoots. That being said it's a keeper.

WOW, great rifle for the price! SAT trigger...much better. Wider stock, great style, very comfy.

Nothing at this stage.

This rifle has some power! Quite loud, PBA's crack real good. Had to get some better scope mounts cause my scope kept creeping back from the recoil.

pcp4me Jul 18, 2014

Agree with everything. Very loud crack with supersonic pellets. My scope also creeps back on the rail. SAT IS better than most but still way too much creep and too heavy. And can not adjust it any lighter as it is already adjusted to lightest it can go. Did not have chance to accuracy test as have to solve the scope mounting problem first!
