You guys should concider the many production/ quality changes in the new walther talon/ falcons. I have a newer walther talon .22 and it has been flawless for about 1000 shots. It got extremly smooth after a few tins also and it is as accurate as i can shoot. It has a sythetic stock but I think it is lighter than the gamo. Also, if you want a .25 springer, the walther is your only way to go. I could put a wood stock on my walther talon .22 to make it as pretty and i doubt the gamo will have anything on it when it comes to critter gitters. I honestly sleep with my walther talon so I can see it when I wake up and its not because its pretty, it because its a screamer.
