GAMO Air Rifles, anyone have one?

[Samckitt]

Have always wanted a break barrell pellet gun & wondered if anyone has a GAMO one & if you like it. Would be fun & cheap to plink with.

I've got one that I ordered from Cabela's. Too much trigger creep and too much trigger pull. Barrel accuracy is good, but the trigger will mess up your shot. Has taken a few squirrles and crows, but I don't use it that often for varmit control. 1100fps, so it definitely has the power.

My Feinwerkbau .177 target rifle has a recoiless barrel, two stage trigger with adjustable trigger pad and adjustable pull. At 2- ounces you can say that the trigger is light. Can drive tacks all day, but at 400 fps it doesn't have the knockdown......Pic of my FWB air rifle


If I were to do it again, I'd pass on the GAMO and spend a little more for either a RWS (I've got one of their air pistols) or an English made compressed-air gun. Heck in the UK they go all the way up to .25 or even 9mm and you are allowed to hunt small game with them!

If you are looking to kill beer cans, the GAMO should be just fine. The trigger is a POS though.....

hope this helps.

I've got a Gamo...I don't take it to seriously, I just have fun with it messing with the crows that drop walnuts all over the court.

I had a crossman break down a few years back when we had pest control services.
Them things are crazy powerfull. I put a hole in a spare door.
All the way through the outer skin and halfway through the inner skin at 20 feet.
I prefer airsoft for plinking now.

I was thinking about one of these:

I've had a Gamo air rifle for almost 10 years; it doesn't see much use, but I've never had a problem with it.
