wow, learn something new every day. these discos are pretty cool and very accurate. the eight groops were shot with crossman domed heavies, 10.5 gr. i'm still testing different pellets, but don't believe i will find any that are any more accurate. the gun was sent to mac1, and he did a good job on it. when all the pellets go thru the same hole, it is very satisfying, but seems like a waste of four of the pellets. pumped the gun to 2200, shot the 40 shots and had 1300 still in the gun.  john

Hey Garry,

They have the Gamos in .22 at Cabelas, I bought some a month or so ago.  Gets confusing at that place because they have pellets in two different places on the shelf, like they segragate them or something.  Hope to see you in April!
