Hi Rick. Here is what I found about the Shadow RSV. It is sold offshore and is not imported to the US along with some of the others you found on the Gamo International site.

I recently purchased a Gamo Shadow RSV, to answer the question about the MuzzleBrake - no, its not that quiet, in fact it sounded about the same as some of the unsilenced rifles at the range.
As far as accuracy goes, I'm not impressed. Groupings at 20m were rather random, spread out over the size of a golf ball (using Gamo Pro Magnum pellets). Without being harsh - the groupings in the picture at the top of this page are about the same as what I was getting... I consider that to be a pretty bad grouping.
Now before I get slammed for saying that... I took a good few shots with another rifle (an Industry Brand QB-36) with a similar scope, using the same pellets, over the same distance and I got a fantastic tight little grouping.
So I am very unimpressed with my purchase of the Gamo Shadow RSV.
Some have been telling me that the accuracy will improve as the spring settles, but I'm sceptical. There was another guy shooting next to me with a Gamo CFX who wasnt getting very good groupings and his spring sounds exactly like mine! Besides, the QB-36 had a brand new spring in it and it was shooting very consistently.
Can anyone else identify with this?
