Ahh man!!!! NOW I know why I got this dumb Gamo from Pyramid when I tried to order a Talon. Send me the Talon and I'll have a Whisper sent to you brand new from Pyramid....deal? They've mess up my orders before, shipped me dented tins of pellets in poorly packaged boxes, but then for the most part they ain't all that bad. Haha, sounds like it all worked out, enjoy your new gun! Order yourself some H&N Barracuda Match pellets (same as Kodiaks but cheaper usually), those LW barrels on the Airforce guns love them.....save the Cro-Magnums for melting down into fishing weights:)
