I think it looks pretty cool - the foregrip doesn't look super bulky like other 88 gram rifles I've seen.  I've actually been looking around for a co2 rifle and this has my interest, especially since it's a .22.  I wonder when they're planning on releasing this one...

looks like they had to do something to compete with the 850 I wonder how much it is going to be

Gamo may surprise us but for sure they will have to do a double step to keep up with the 850...:)  Would be interesting to see some numbers as far as fps goes. If it can shoot in the high 600's to low 700's, and be consistant and accurate, that would be good..:).. Another thing is the trigger? What is it really like?..:) Lets keep our hopes up that it can compete with the 850. And moding would be another important issue with this new Co2 air rifle from Gamo.

Interesting, I would like to see her in wood though, to me the stock doesn't flow. Oh I know it need's a ShadowCamo paint job lol. Still interesting though. Ed

I'd seen a little on this one. It is a multi-shot, uses a rotary magazine. The action cycles via pump action, sliding forestock. As I recall, John Bowkett of BSA enginnering fame was invovled in the prototype on this one.

My first impression is that there is a serious lack of curb appeal. However, if she performs well and is priced right, I would be willing to give her consideration.

Hope the pump action is a bit more positive than my Crosman 622, a really fun, accurate gun when it's feeding properly.  A PITA have-to-tear-it down gun when it jams.  You will be surprised just how long that 88 gram bottle won't last!

Nice if it's pump action as you don't have to take your eyes off the sight as you action the gun.
Hope the numbers are good though as that really sways my interest.
I'll just wait for this if the price is right also.
