Hey!
long time since I posted any threath. I have been Very bussy trying to hold 2 jobs college studies and figuring out a way to bring my Air Rifle from MIAMI To ECUADOR
Well after 1 year 1 month of insane wait and investigation to get my air rifle on a plane, fighting against the nonsense 300% tax over WEAPONS
trying to convince them its just an airgun, then getting a Military permit to avoid issues with the police. and talking with the TSA, customs, and several other agencies
I finally got it!!!! Its been a weeks now since my dad Made his way through customs with a large box on his hands. the rifle came just as I instyructed my aunt very well packed inside The PLANO RIFLE case I bought at PYRAMYDAIR.com
It was love at first sight. beautifull black all weather stock and a shinny GOLD GTRIII trigger! My GAMO WHISPER was worth every second that I`ve waited to get it...
I sighted in with open sight first at the range 10 meters away. then mounted the scope.. took my time.
I mounted the cheap Gamo Scope that comes with the rifle and saved the certerpoint 3-9x40mm dual ilum mil-dot Reticle scope to use it later on.
at firts it kicked.. and boy it did kicked hard haha. after a dozen shots or so it smothed.
used GAMO pro match pellets groups were smaller than a dime!
IM SOOOOOOOOO HAPPY WITH MY TURBO TUNNED WHISPER 0.117 I WAKE UP EVERYDAY WITH A SMILE FROM EAR TO EAR!
I really want to thank BOB aka CDT for this work of art! its a truly hard hitting accurate RIfle and very smooth and consistent.
I know this Rifle shoots way better than I do. this afternoon I finally got to take my time and shoot for a couple of hours with a couple of beers in this very hot sunny day in my backyard.
here Are some PICS!!

Pedro,,I am happy for you,,, :) I know how long you've been waiting for your gun,it sure looks nice,, :) I know how happy your feeling that you finally can shoot it & enjoy it,,GOOD LUCK!! :)
-
Congratulations! Wow, you went through a lot to get that gun. Enjoy it. :)
-
From what you went through to simply get an air gun, - you're the reason the NRA exists!! Nice to hear that you finally got it - quite an effort. For short (inside) range with a Whisper I've had good luck with Gamo Match (7.71 gr) pellets - and for 25+ yards Crosman Hollow Points. Every gun/shooter is different of course, but a thought. Best of luck, ...

Very happy you finally got your Whisper.....what a drag....300% tax. You`re going to really like the Whisper especially with that CDT tune and GRT III in her.

Yup, the 300% tax blows..
but! thanks to 90% research and 10% luck I didnt pay a dime at customs! so Im thinking of buying a new toy quickly before they try to make new laws against Air Guns
