: If you had just 1 chance to order...!!
: pedroeguiguren July 21, 2008, 10:47:36 AM

Im ordering a whisper to send it TO BOB!!! and as a friend of my dad is giving me a chance to ship the rifle allong with ammo and accesories I was wondering.. If you ordered a turbo tuned Whisper what type of pellets will you order? Im going big time so I am ordering big cuantities of ammo and I was thinking of getting also some accesories to make this just 1 order very efficient.

So please all shooters out there I dont have much time! send me your opinions or what will you do?? what can I purchase to keep my whisper fine always, and what type of pellets are most usually acepted by the gamo whisper

You might try with Crosman premiers or destroyers, but get a few different varieties of sample/experimental tins (gamo, beeman, rws/jsb. h&n, etc.), and find the one pellet you like/your rifle likes, and stick to it. I'd stay away from non lead/high velocity pellets, and anything heavier than the Beeman Cro'Mags. I'd adhere to Bobs advice in pellets on his web-site!! Save your money on pellets until you 'find' the one that works best.Then order them in bulk.  But that's from my experience with .17 calibers only. A tripod would look cool too. Check out optics planet. They've got some nice scopes and accesories. Just make sure they're acceptible for 'air-rifles'!!! You might check out CFXMarauders post,...way cool custom paint job,..Make it your own!!!! Good Luck with your CDT'd Whisper, tjk

I agree,, don't waste money orders a ton of pellets until you know what pellets the gun likes.    However if I was going to pick a pellet to start with I'd probably go with CPL's.  Most, not all but most, of my rifles like them and they are a good pellet for both target and hunting.......

As for accessories,,,,, there are bipods, laser/light attachments for the scope, illuminated reticle scopes which are great for low light conditions, etc.....    

Let us know what you wind up ordering and have fun  :)

Pedro!!! Wait till you feel how great this gun shoots!!!!! I have a Whisper Deluxe, Turbo Tuned, GRT, with a Center Point 4-16x40 on an Accushot 1 piece. This thing is truly a tack driver!!!!! It loves CPL's, RWS Superdomes and Gamo Tomahawks mostly, but as long as you stay away from pointed pellets, cheap pellets,  pellets under 7 gr and over 10 gr, you should be fine. It is accurate, quiet, cocks very smoothly after the tune, no kick to speak of, and just plain fun to shoot!!!! Enjoy!!!!

Thanks!

Thanks for the advices.
