My favorite Gamo's. What's yours?

[gamo2hammerli]

As Big_Bill said...with a GRT III trigger  most Gamos shoot pretty for their cost.  Of the four Gamos I own...I shouldn't really count the Expotec as it's so old and I shot thousands of bb's out of her....I like my Viper the best; low noise, hard hitter, accurate and great weight....at least for me.

i had a cdt turbo tuned whisper and sold it but now i miss it cause i had a great airforce 3-16x50 on it and was very accurate with gamo hunters and wadcutters they r great rifle with the cdt trigger and a turbo tune well worth the money.....

My favorite Gamo is my Paul Dykstra tuned Hunter 1250 in .177.Smooth, accurate shooter with a lot of power.Shoots cp heavies @10000+ fps.The GRT111 trigger makes it easy to shoot accurately.

My favorite has to be the very first air rifle I bought...... my  Walmart .177 GAMO Shadow

She has a 3x12 BSA sittin on top and she'll shoot pellets into ragged hole groups all day if I do my part.  She's not fussy about pellets and is still shooting in the low to mid 900's depending on pellets.  She's sporting a shiny GRT trigger and has rid the world of more starlings than I can count.    

I liked her so much I bought 2 more when WallyWorld had them on sale for $79 bucks.  I like all my GAMO riles but that first Shadow will always be my favorite....

Walt, yeah some of the guys tell me to stop buying "cheap" rifles and stick with the high end and classics.  But I have so many awesome shooters and I dont' care who makes them as long as they are accurate and fun to shoot.

So mine is my Big Cat.  I have several supposedly "better" rifles in .177 but I can never bring myself to sell this one.  It was my first attempt at a home tune and while I'm not giving any pro tuner a run for his money I think it turned out just fine.  I have great personal satisfaction every time I shoot it.  Yes it is a bit hold sensitive but once you master the "Gamo tender caress" it rewards with accuracy as good as my TX200.  Here's a pic of a 5 shot group at 23 yards. TX on the left BC on the right.

gotta be my CSI in .22 with the trigger and the ram.... easiest rifle to be accurate with...

Mike, I really wish all of my airgun buds could experience what I have been able to enjoy with this rifle. There would be a lot less bad mouthing of these Gamo guns if they could. You might be able to find a used 1250 for sale somewhere but of course the Hunter Extreme is the "new" 1250 and they are readily available. The Hunter Extreme that I have is also in .177 (it wasn't available in .22 when I bought mine a couple of years ago). That rifle also spits out the 10.5gr in excess of 1000fps (mine is consistent @ 1030fps) but it is untuned and is not as smooth as my tuned 1250.Someday I may consider selling both of these rifles when the economy improves and I can get a fair market price for them as I recently aquired a UK Webley Patriot in .22cal that was gas rammed by David Slade.(Thanks again to Chris Falquero aka Fatback).It has a little more power than the .177 1250/Extreme and is a dream to shoot. I do love my 1250 though and it is awesome as an accurate, powerful squirrel getter.
