in the brush with gamo shotgun? Are they hype or are they worth using out to 30-50 ft
Thanks in advance

I do remember seeing a post or two about guys who had used them within 10 yards or so to take out small rodents but nothing as large as a rabbit. I don't own one of these shooters but I think the general consensus is that they are basically useless for hunting.

Yes 10 yards max with a shot shell,( 10 is the max I have gotten Tree rats) I would recommend using the adapter and a crowmag or predator or another rifle . You can compress the white plastic cap on the shot shell with a pen a little to tighten the group ( gently)

the aMount of money ur going to pay for that u might just get a bigcat in .22 for $139.00 at PA pretty much useless and a waste of hard earned money better yet for 20 buck more u can get a b-26 from MM.

Thanks pin,
I already had a b26. My signature shows what I shoot. My MA 2260 pcp is my go to for squirrels followed by my sumtra .25 carbine.

Honestly I think the odds are better if one was to throw the Express shotgun at the rabbit. :o :0 Ed

Save your money on this one. Don't buy.

I have taken a raccoon with my shadow express... It was a baited pest and i got it in the head at 15 yards. a rabbit should be no problem if you use a hunting pellet (no shotgun shell) and you can hit it in the noggin. but if you are looking to buy one to do this i agree with the others... there are better suited choices (RWS 34, b26, b25, R9, whisper, etc...)

The first shotgun I ever used was an old Mossberg bolt action with a cracked stock. One day I asked my dad what happened to it and he told me, "Well I missed this rabbit and it was running by so close I hit it with the shotgun". :D My dad used to call me dumb sometimes. :D
