First time I've read/heard of a Bone Collector in the Gamo line.  I know Thompson Center makes a Bone Collector in the black powder rifle category.  If you get the Gamo Bone Collector....let us know how it is.

Appears to be a Whisper action,  in a green Viper stock,  which they claim has a new spring that gives it 50 fps more speed with their raptors than the Whisper had before. And lists for $399.00

Gamo again doing the 'parts suffel' to come up with a "new" gun.

If it's got the new plastic trigger - no thanks.

Tim Allen's school of airgun design - "More Power!" I will bet that hotter spring really makes the gun twang!

Shooting  Raptors to get 1250 fps ... I get the feeling it won't twang for long.    

If it's got the new plastic trigger, sounds like your stuck with it and that's a real shame.

"..........gamo went tv ......"

Considering what they've done with the new trigger, I think their next model name may be, "Lost".  :D

Yep, that just looks like a Whisper in a Viper stock......or a Viper with the Whisper`s "Muffler".

I'm not thrilled with the new Gamo's, in general. Especially that shroud, which, to my mind, isn't the most glamorous extension I have seen on the end of a barrel. In fact, it's downright bulbous. Less is much more.

Gamo makes some nice guns i had the 22 cal whisper which i sold to my buddy after my black hawk is a way better shooter and i already have enough .22 cals that are springers my moto this year is (DARKSIDE) so after i get my .25 cal falcon gas spring(have to try one)and a bam b28 from mr mike its all pcp for me the marketing gamo uses its not for us who know the game its for the newbee who says wow thats cool rifle but  its all  the same gun,,same power plant,same trigger lol they should work on that instead of making (new same guns) lol i learn that the hard way??well not i did sell that whisperer 8) which is not a bad gun but for the money its better out there if i have to do gamo it would be the .22 extreme because i recently seen and shot one and all i can say thats a mans,mans gun lol. 8)also made in england.
