gamo varmint hunter
« on: December 09, 2006, 10:00:02 AM »
Ok, Installed the trigger mod, feels great. Came with this high tech light, laser scope buisness. I only installed the scope and found it was shooting extremely low. I had to shim the rear of the scope with "four" thin pieces of plastic to get it close at ten yards. Has anyone else had this problem? Also what is up with the scope rail mounted on the scope rail? The dovetail on the gun itself was 11.48mm and the rail mounted on it was 10.58mm. I couldn't get my sope mounts on a different scope to tighten up enough. The stock scope works fine but I wondered if they put this on because of the recall? Any ideas?

My CFX has that same set up,,,, scope rail mounted ont he dovetal.  From what I've read GAMO started using that set up on several different rifles. I don't think it has anything to do with a recall issue.  Anyway, it's worked without any problems on my CFX, hopefully you'll find it satsifactory as well.  Good luck with your new rifle.  By the way,,, I just installed  one of those laser/light combos (which I purchases separately) onto one of my rifles and it's kinda  neat.  Was easy to install, set up and works very well.  Good luck with it.

Ithink the shadow sport is about the same but no problems . hows the light half of the combo doing, does it throw out a good beam. I ordered one for my shadow sport.

Check my review of the unit posted in the scope review section.  I'm very happy with the unit.
