accuracy of gamo wisper

[N_Strike]

Hy there,it's more than a year Iìm shooting and hunting with my Shadow Sport and i've got the same problem with the crappy gamo scope and couldn't find any good pellet! Before being pi**ed off completely I ordered another scope(Leupold) and problem solved!!!  
Now I can hit those d**n crows from 50-70 yards.

"I didn't want to come right out and say it, but yeah, the gamo scope is crap."  

Don't worry Lance, it's been said many times before !!!!!

My whisper really likes JSB exacts and predators for hunting.  But yeah, that gamo scope has go to go...

Thank you all for the help. Went out lastnight and picked a few different types of pellets to test based on the input from the forum. Spent most of the morning working on the problem. Took off the scope and reset it making sure to tighten evenly. Checked the barrel seal ETC. At 40 feet the best perfomer was the CPHP's. Gamo rockets came in second and Gamo raptor stunk and so did the standard CH. My local stores only carry so many type of pellets. I am sure that other types suggested would have worked fine. For now I can pull a heart shot on a squirrel at 100 feet. They do less jumping around that way. Need to keep the sqirrel kissing neighbors happy Thanks again. Lyman

A big welcome to the GTA forum and family lbrooks.  As you can see above....lot`s of different suggestions for pellets.  From what I`ve read and experienced....almost all airguns have  their own favourite pellet.....even if the airgun is the same brand, model and  came off the assembly line one behind each other.  You`ll have to try different brands/types of pellets to see which one your Whisper likes.

As someone have said....most "Package" scopes are pretty bad.....but sometimes even a bad one can last a long time.  I had a "Package" CenterPoint and a Gamo Sporter that lasted over 2000 shots.  And then I had a Bushnell Banner (Known to withstand the double recoil of airguns) that went bad after 700 shots.  You never know with scopes.....but then, for sure most aftermarket scopes are more clear.
