: Level of recoil?
: cmdrstp May 08, 2010, 09:25:40 AM

Hello, all. How are you?

In comparison to other spring-piston air riles, what is the level of recoil of the Gamo Big Cat 1200 (mild, moderate, heavy)? This is to be used to buy an appropriate scope.

Thank you.

Stephen

Moderate or you can use a medium springer rated scope on them. Bushnell, BSA, Hawk etc. Check out what scopes Straightshooters have under there scope section. They list them as light, medium and heavy recoil.

Stephen, a big welcome to the GTA forum and family.

Yep, I would think the BC is a moderate recoil shooter.

Was looking at the Straight Shooters web sight that Gene recommended. Very impressive, and I just added it to my browser favorites.

I'd say mid range. If you tune it and fill the stock it willcalm down. I put my leapers 4x32 tactedge on it and it's a great combo. I like that scope, just needs to be a 3-9 and would be perfect.
