YEAH!!!!!! It is here! (doing the springer dance!)
My new Gamo Hunter 440 just showed up and I opened the box and pulled out a great looking looking rifle. I am definitely impressed and the price from Natchez was absolutely unbelieveable!

I just installed my Tasco 44 Mag scope on it. This thing looks awesome! I wish I had my camera with me.

I'm pretty sure your gonna like it Ron. Might need to do a little touch-up on it but they are a good gun. Be sure that the stock screws are tight though and pull a few patches through it to clean the shoot chute once you put a few pellets through it.

Thanks for the tips, Bob!

Congratulations Ron,
It's times like these, when all of the fellows are receiving packages from Brown Santa, that makes my Order Finger quiver !
That excitement of a new baby in the house sure is GREAT !!!
Give us a review on her when you get a chance ! You Lucky AirGunner !

I will give you a full report...
My order finger is twitching as I think about a GRT-III
-
....... I have no self control. I couldn't help myself. I pushed the button on the CDT website.
I am sure I will no longer be ashamed when that trigger arrives in my mailbox!
Bob, I am gonna give one of these triggers a try. If I like it, I will buy 2 more (one for my S1K and the other for my CFX)
Thanks for pushing me over the edge, guys (and gals, too!) :)

Ditto from one who just installed his second GRT-III on the brother of your new 440, Ron. I had a chance yesterday evening to put the new trigger in mine, cause I wanted to shoot it a few times first with the factory trigger. "Not bad", I thinks as I was putting the first dozen or two pellets through it, but the feel of the new trigger is like night and day. I have to say, I can't imagine having a Gamo without a GRT-III.
Again, great job on a great product, Bob!!!

Congrats on your new rifle. You'll love the GRT-III trigger on her. Give us some pics and a review.

Well, last night I got together with my good buddy, Josh and my son, Jon. We sighted the new 440 with my Tasco 44 Mag scope at 25 yards and plinked a few targets. I was very satisfied with the rifle, particularly the features it has above and beyond my SK1. I really like the scope mount which allows me to use the pin on the scope stop to thwart scope creep. I also like the steel trigger guard as opposed to the plastic one on my SK1. Cocking it is a bit raspy and I think a good de-burr is in order on the cocking mechanism. The finish of the stock is very nice.
Well, after we started putting up dime-sized patterns with 4-5 shots, Josh spied a tree rat. I relenquished the rifle to our host and he dropped it with a head shot. So, the 440 is on the board!
Bob, I look forward to installing your new GRT-III, although the trigger in my 440 seems to be less of a pain in the backside than the one in my SK1.
I will return with pics and a full report!

Ron, just a suggestion, if the trigger in your 440 is better than your S1K, put the GRT in your S1K. The 440 will smooth out some with use, not alot but alittle. I'm sure you will be ordering 2 more, so it dosen't really matter,hehe.
